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.

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.

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

Do you think that we should be underutilizing cost-effective rural hospital programs like the Rural Community Hospital Demonstration?

Simply put, this is beyond unacceptable.

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.

the person who was elected was done so as a result of free and fair election, which is a key constitutional responsibility.

the Iowa Second race, where now Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks won by 6 votes out of approximately 390,000 cast, truly shows how important the Election Observer Program can be.

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.

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

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.

Thank you for your initiative.

The budget doubles down on the reckless tax and spending binge of the administration's first two years.
