The ARA supports proposals--like Senator Lankford's and Senator Bennet's Enhancing Emergency and Retirement Savings Act (S. 1870, 117th Congress)...
Michael Bennet
The Public Record
Michael Farrand Bennet is a United States Senator from Colorado, serving since January 21, 2009. A member of the Democratic Party, Bennet has focused on a range of issues including education, healthcare, and economic policy throughout his tenure. He has been an advocate for improving access to quality education and has worked on initiatives to reform the healthcare system to make it more affordable for Americans.
Then last month, Senator Bennet and I introduced the Enhancing Emergency and Retirement Savings Act of 2021.
The Senate passed the Child Tax Credit, which a number of people on this committee, particularly Senator Bennet and Senator Wyden, had worked on with us
As I mentioned, ERIC member companies are in the forefront of benefit and plan design.
These rules essentially penalize Americans for routine job changes in a modern economy.
Thank you, Chairman Menendez for having me, the Ranking Member as well, for allowing Senator Hickenlooper and me to introduce Ken Salazar.
Maintaining our superiority in space and protecting space as a peaceful and secure domain is critical to our competition with China.
We need to maintain that sort of superiority, not only in the underlying understanding of the science behind getting things to move around in space, but the capabilities that are out there.
Today in ways that were unimaginable to me when I was in college, except when I read it in the history books, anti-democratic forces are stronger than any time since Jim Crow.
I often think we are failing to prepare our kids to compete in the modern economy.
I hope we can come together in a bipartisan way to build the infrastructure that our country will need in the 21st century.
The direct pay credits will actually accelerate the projects that are probably already in planning for many of the utilities.
It does not make any sense to me that we would do something that was this valuable and then turn around and raise taxes basically on working people who can least afford it.
I was pleased with the response and support from my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for bringing back a taxable bond option similar to Build America Bonds.
I want to thank you and your team very much for the work that they have done to get ready for the monthly distribution of the Child Tax Credit.
Last Congress I, alongside my colleague Senator Bennet, introduced the Suicide and Crisis Outreach Prevention Enhancement Act.
We viewed this as an opportunity to improve access to people, especially in rural areas.
I hope that it is only the start of a larger effort to address the mental health issues in our country.
