Democrats in Congress and the President himself have made clear their desire to 'cancel' student loan debt.

This, while clearly a political ploy meant to keep Democrats in power by hoodwinking the American people.

This policy moves forward, it will result in even higher tuition costs for students who plan to go to college.

Nothing in this world is free. Someone is always paying.

We have seen an almost 50 percent decline in the amount of community banks in the United States.

We have to make a decision here. And one of the clear decisions is, are we going to continue, for how long, this loan guarantee program?

We have to really look at beginning to unwind and sunsetting this program.

The point is clear: 33 States have voter ID laws. Many States have already taken care of these problems themselves. State legislatures should be changing their laws. This Capitol should not. And the people of the State of Florida…

I do not think it is wise at this point that we should expand eligibility to those organizations considering that fact that even to this Committee we can all clearly understand that the bowl of our small businesses are small restaurants…

I think it is important for the Committee to remember not too long ago that when you had companies like Steak Shack who were trying to take advantage of PPP, it was roundly frowned upon because of the size of those organizations.

I think the plan that, you know, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to expand 501(c) status to all 501(c)(3)s except for 501(c)(4)s, I think is a bridge too far.

Congress has allocated more than $796 billion to the PPP, and ultimately helped keep more doors open for more than 5 million small businesses.

With President Biden halting that program, what we are seeing the results are caravans of people, whether they might be minors or adults, coming to our southern border illegally.
