I do want to thank you as well for the letter that was sent back to Chairman Cardin and I.

That raises concerns with me because we have had that 40-year moratorium.

A critical commitment I received from Mr. Syed is to prioritize fraud detection and prevention, which is among the greatest obstacles facing the SBA.

I hope that this has been a one-off situation, but I think it is encouraging many of those institutions to go back and relook what their practices are.

Letting them continue has been a bipartisan priority under Presidents Obama, Trump, and now Biden.

Fraud in ineligible firms were supposed to be flagged and recouped on the back end through the forgiveness process, yet the Biden administration has forgiven $754 billion, or 92 percent of all PPP loans.

Simply put, this is beyond unacceptable.

Thank you very much and--two thank yous. First of all, you very quickly instituted the over-the-counter hearing aid, the hearing aid law that Senator Warren and I sponsored.

I am also very concerned by the expansive reporting requirements for scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions, the devastating impact that that would have for Iowa farmers.

Congress did not authorize a permanent change to larger 7(a) loans for affiliation or underwriting criteria because of COVID programs.

I want to thank the administration for implementing the new and voluntary Rural Emergency Hospital program that I have worked for 3 or 4 years to get passed.

But we do not want to conflate the 504 program with our 7(a).

A primary focus of the agency should be to aid in the recovery of the more than $100 billion in fraudulent and improper loans made through the SBA COVID relief programs.

Well, obviously, time is of the essence here, right? We talked about this post that lived online for over 40 days.

How have sensationalized emissions scenarios come to dominate the discourse of climate change risk?

The budget continues this country on a destructive path of deficits and debt.
