I've authored several major tax laws. I've seen the results letting working families and businesses keep more of their hard earned money.

Democrats like to claim any government spending they happen to like as an investment.

We have a clear majority of Americans disapproving of the President's handling of the economy.

What role did the fact that our pre-pandemic economy was the strongest it's been in years play in the speed of recovery rather than the inflationary policies of this administration?

In Congress, we provide oversight, especially for Federal healthcare which is the VA.

We have got to do better for our veterans in a lot of different areas.

In my opinion, in my medical opinion, there is a team concept and there has to be one quarterback.

Lessening in my opinion the quality of care because of a perceived access issue really is not what our veterans deserve.

It is important to me and to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle that all veterans seeking care in the VA are ensured quality care that is safe and effective.

Veterans like all Americans deserve access to the full spectrum of medical expertise available to address their healthcare needs.

Let us not forget that when considering policies that may have a significant impact on the care they receive.
