Mr. President, I rise today to talk about the need to extend the current tax rates and to reject the tens of billions of dollars in higher taxes the President and Senate Democrats want to impose next year. I believe the upcoming vote or…

I'm wondering if anybody would like to comment about whether you think that drug shortage issues can be attributed in any way to the pricing structure within Medicare.

What we need is a Federal system. It's not enough to do something in California.

And it also seems that part of the problem stems from questions about the supply chain.

This issue does seem to be quite wrapped up in the issue of drug shortages.

I think we all understand the critical role that education plays in our modern society and how important it is that we continue to expand the opportunity for more Americans.

I think the question is if the tax system is the appropriate place from which to expand access to education, and if these subsidies are really truly benefitting students or are they just structured primarily to benefit the educational…

The NLRB decision from several years ago is an affront to the principle of tribal sovereignty, which is referenced in the Constitution.

Resurrecting this tribal territorial sovereignty approach should be the urgent focus of any new labor law reform efforts.

Tribal self-determination has long been the goal of federal Indian policy.

H.R. 2335 will respect Indian nation governments as other governments are respected.

The NLRB's decision in the San Manuel case to override tribal authority is an outrage.
