Michael Bennet

I think that it might make some sense to adjust the RCPP program so that it were more of a grant program.

It is remarkable, I think, to have the kind of breadth of perspectives that we have had this morning.

Thank you, Honorable Michael Bennet and Roger Marshall, for holding this important hearing and for inviting to share my story.

I am excited to have somebody on the Agriculture Committee who has got as much firsthand experience as you do.

They deserve conservation programs at USDA as imaginative as they are, as ambitious as the problems they seek to solve.

Today our farmers and ranchers are not dealing with the Dust Bowl, but they are facing, in my part of the country, a 1,200-year drought.

I fought to give them another $20 billion in the Inflation Reduction Act.

The future of rural America depends on whether the next generation decides to continue their family farms and ranches.

If it takes 80 hours for the possibility of receiving $1,700, I can see why someone would think twice before applying.

We have the lowest economic mobility that we have had in generations.

We have the worst income inequality that we have had since the 1920's in this country.

I am hoping that we can--and that the administration can--put a name before this committee soon.

It is really aggravating and irritating that this happened during the middle of tax filing season.

I think that the TABOR refund should have been placed in the first category.

I know my time is up, and I am done, but let me just say what I saw when the Child Tax Credit went away, the Enhanced Child Tax Credit went away, was lines at food pantries just, you know, go up like this, skyrocket like this, and I think…

The problem was people were working two and three jobs, and no matter what they did they could not get their kids out of poverty.

We have the lowest economic mobility that we have had in generations.

We have the worst income inequality that we have had since the 1920's in this country.

He's threatening a catastrophic default.

They're still committed to giving billionaires a free pass to cheat on their taxes.

Reducing the tax gap helps create the headroom to address those issues.

When it comes to filing taxes online, the status quo is unacceptable.

The IRS is following the law as intended.

It's always the same pattern every time this proposal comes up.

I am hoping that we can--and that the administration can--put a name before this committee soon.
