Tony Cárdenas: “It is something that we as Americans should be proud of but with all due respect, government does have its place.”

There's a difference between funding sent to a department so that they can get their work done versus funding in order for programs to give grants out to communities.

The suggestion that this program should be narrowed to only those who would not otherwise have broadband seems to me to ignore the reality of family budgets.

I am concerned that these rules do not take into consideration constituencies like the majority of the constituents in my district that primarily speak Spanish.

I would like to thank the witnesses for joining us and providing your expertise on these important issues.
