I would do what I did in Florida. I walked into a $4 billion budget deficit. I balanced the budget. I cuts taxes and fees 100 times. I paid off a third of the State debt. I never increased my State debt. I actually cut it by $10.5 billion…

my experience is totally different than my colleague from Montana's experience. My experience is you build your economy by growing jobs. You build your economy by investing in education, where you get a return. So, in my 8 years as…

reserving the right to object. First, I want to thank my colleague from Washington for holding the hearing with the airlines, and there are two things about that. I was surprised that I didn't get a very good answer from the airlines…

I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Michigan.

in reserving the right to object, throughout his Presidency, Joe Biden and his administration have shown a complete and total inability to place qualified and competent people in positions of power across the Federal Government. We have…

Instead of creating a friendly business environment to help rebound from the pandemic, President Biden has made a priority of his Administration to add burdensome regulations that have stifled economic growth.

I have requested oversight hearing in this committee to address the current supply chain crisis.

As President Biden continues to push failed policies and unconstitutional vaccine mandates, the United States is facing a major supply chain crisis.

I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on the Judiciary be discharged from further consideration of S. 3263 and the Senate then proceed to its immediate consideration. I further ask that the bill be considered read a third time and…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Unanimous Consent Request--S. 3263

the crisis at the U.S. southern border is raging out of control. Last week, I traveled down to the southern border to hear from local leaders, law enforcement, and our brave Border Patrol agents in Yuma, AZ. I saw the border at night and…

We’ll see who comes out of the primary. If facts will come out, we’ll find out exactly what people think.

I think what ultimately happens is people are going to look at somebody’s background and say is that the type of person they want?

I appreciate my colleague, and I am proud to serve on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation with her. Just remember, what we are talking about here is a supply chain problem, and let's not ignore a very important…

as empty shelves grow more and more common, prices are surging higher, and small businesses can't access the goods they need to serve their customers. Joe Biden's supply chain and inflation crises are devastating for so many Americans, but…

I mean, let`s think about this. There`s probably something good in almost every bill that passes. That doesn`t mean -- that doesn`t mean you support the entire bill.

in December, President Biden promised he would not require Americans to be vaccinated or require that they carry vaccine passports. Less than 10 months into his Presidency, I think he must have forgotten what he said, breaking promise…

older American workers are a vital source of economic strength. Before the pandemic, there were more seniors in the workforce than there were 20 years ago, and men and women age 55 and older lifted the overall labor force participation…

That would be interesting if it was true. When you think about it--and you can look at oil prices, and they are international oil prices--it is illogical to believe that the American oil companies want to spend the transportation dollars…

right now, American families are worried. The White House thinks inflation is a high-class problem. I clearly imagine the price of Prada bags has gone up, but what the White House continues to miss is that inflation is killing the buying…

this time last year, we still didn't know how much longer this pandemic would last. We didn't know when the vaccine trials would be completed. Thankfully, by December, the vaccine had been approved and brought normalcy back to the lives of…

well, first off, the Senator might not know I grew up in public housing, so I do have a little bit of knowledge about public housing, and we had public housing for my constituents as Governor of Florida. So I watched my friends struggle to…

first of all, let's remember that the President is requiring a vaccine mandate if you have a job. So there are people there who are going to lose their job because they, for whatever reason, are uncomfortable getting the vaccine. So this…

well, clearly I am pretty shocked. By objecting to this bill, my colleague is suggesting that it is acceptable for the government to deny Social Security checks to American seniors and checks to those who are physically disabled because…

I want to talk about two things as we are waiting for Senator Wyden. First, I have been hearing all across the State of Florida, people are really concerned about the Democratic proposal basically to look at everybody's bank accounts. The…
