The pandemic has only made this problem worse, and I am worried that it will set rural areas even further behind on broadband and infrastructure projects.
I think the Conservation Corps is a really good idea. We could create two million jobs in rural America in the West and probably in other places, too.
This infrastructure is as important to our country as the Lincoln Tunnel is to Chuck Schumer and to New York.
Our national forests are an essential part of infrastructure throughout the West, providing water for our cities, sustaining agriculture, and driving our outdoor recreation economy.
I do not think anybody can take pride in this health-care system in America that costs twice as much as any other health-care system in the world.
If this manages to make it through the Congress, we will have cut childhood poverty in America by 45 percent.
I share the view that in the long term we need to figure out how to create a sustainable fiscal path for our country.

We need to protect Social Security and ensure that it is there for future generations.
We need to have a conversation about what's happening now, not just about what happened 50 years ago.
The United States has a moral obligation to beat Donald Trump and end his presidency.
We have to be smart about how we're running or we're going to give Trump a second term. We can't do it.
Let’s fix our school system and maybe we can fix the prison pipeline that we have.
I thank Senator Gardner. I agree with his assessment and those of Chairman Murkowski, Senator McSally, and Senator Cortez Masto, about the urgency and path forward for DCP implementation. I would like to reiterate that this bill does not…
