I think that is just idiotic.

We don't want to be spending prevention money on fighting fires, and we do that, as I understand it, because of a fealty to this year-by-year scoring, and it is the silliest thing to say we are going to save money this year, but we know…

I think we don't want to have the perverse effect of not having better technology on the shelves because we couldn't achieve perfection.

Well, certainly it is partly because the state has set renewable goals and it is partly because I think the consumers are clamoring for it as well.

We have a responsibility to make sure our veterans are fully prepared with the skills, resources, and education they need to thrive in civilian life.

They do not just deserve these benefits. Just like their Purple Heart medals, they have earned them.

It is wrong that we would exclude veterans, like Sergeant Aranda, who suffered life-changing injuries fighting for this country from receiving full education benefits.

I guess I am looking for more specifics on the steps we should be taking.

It seems to me that maybe we could identify some more objective criteria

It is something that can vary greatly depending on the group of people you get in the room

One of the reasons I ran for Congress was to deal with climate change

They are heartbreaking. They are not just heartbreaking, they are wrong.

That is just not acceptable.

It is the same story.

It is interesting to hear that representatives from Nevada testify, obviously, nuclear fuel, what we do with it affects a lot of congressional districts around the country.

Thank you for having a hearing on this bill. It is certainly helpful to inform us about, about the proposal.

Updating and modernizing hydropower infrastructure will incentivize economic development, create jobs, and strengthen our energy security.

Hydropower is the Nation's number one renewable, producing electricity with negligible emissions.

So you have given us some important testimony, all of you, with respect to the obstacles to developing new hydro, and those of us who would like to see more clean power should take this as a challenge.

This is an impediment to getting good conservation on the ground for people that are just seeking to do the right thing.

I urge that the Subcommittee to include language in its Labor, HHS, and Education and Related Agencies bill that expressly prohibits the use of appropriations for any HHS program in support of activities which attempt to downsize or close…

The vast majority of comments express concern and urge withdrawal.

Affordable higher education for hard-working Americans is central to future generations achieving the American Dream.

Congress must embrace the opportunities to invest in our nation's future as we work to reduce America's student loan debt.

My bill, the Bipartisan Student Loan Repayment Assistance Act, would give borrowers relief from their student loan debt burden.
