What you are hearing is uncertainty.

We will never put at risk the farm bill programs. That is what happened before.

It is my belief that the USDA's discretionary use of CCC undercuts this Committee farm bill process.

I am going to start out with my favorite subject every time we have a farm bill up, on farm payment limitations.

I am told that by 2025, we will get that job done.

I appreciate that, and thank you. I think it is important that we have support to some of these smaller, again, farmer-owned, operated facilities.

A lot of the proposals and laws that I hear about when I am out doing the 99-county tour... really reads like the Green New Deal.

We have heard a lot about how the Administration really wants to support rural America, but bottom line, we are not seeing a lot of action so far.

Lawmakers should address the projected trust fund shortfalls in a timely way in order to phase in necessary changes gradually and give workers and beneficiaries time to adjust to them.

Clearly, we aren't going to be able to tax our way out of the current fiscal mess.

I'm going to start with Mr. Mangual. Last year, I held a field hearing in Iowa for the Drug Caucus that I co-chair with Chairman Whitehouse.

Member Grassley.

This administration has dramatically missed inflation for two years in a row.

the more Congress borrows and spends, the higher interest rates will have to go up, and ultimately, it's families and small businesses that will suffer the economic consequences.

Let's actually do our job and have the Budget Committee mark up a budget resolution.

Nobody believes that. People know about the trillions spent in spending binge of the last Congress, and the costly administrative actions.

I look forward to passing meaningful legislation that will support small businesses and allow them to do what they do best, which is to create jobs and support our local communities.

If you could address this. Is there a role for derivative markets to facilitate carbon reduction and the risks associated for those individuals?
