climate change is a problem worthy of our attention. If Democrats want to discuss budgetary proposals related to climate change, we can have that debate, but it's clear they don't.

Thanks to many of you, especially Senator Grassley and Chairman Durbin, I was spared from spending another decade behind bars.

President Biden wants to take us back to having the highest corporate tax rate amongst our major trading partners.

This has prevented us from discussing ways to improve our immediate and dire economic position.

Our unsustainable fiscal outlook is a bipartisan problem because both parties talk about it, and it's going to require a bipartisan solution to resolve.

We hear Democrats argue for a cascade of expensive and expansive federal climate proposals that will saddle us and local governments with debt and red tape.

I've heard a proposal to create an expensive new federal climate bureaucracy, doling out billions in green handouts to large corporations.

Let's face it, we're broke.

For the good of our nation we must begin to find common ground to address a national debt that recently topped $34 trillion.

We're broke here in Washington, D.C.

I come to the floor to celebrate 20 years since the passage of the Part D Medicare prescription drug benefit. Tomorrow, December 8, is that day. There was a time when the seniors of America on Medicare didn't have access to nationwide…

Iowans recall the derecho that tore through parts of our State in 2020. The storm hit alongside the COVID- 19 pandemic, when communities faced unprecedented challenges, including stalled school meal programs. Such unforeseen events can…

I ask unanimous consent that Jeremy King, a Secret Service detailee from my office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the Congress. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

if the Biden administration decides to allow a terrorist state access to billions of dollars, then, at a bare minimum, the Biden administration must perform exceedingly strict oversight of how that money is used. It is pretty simple…

Well, you just heard Senator Durbin say that this bill has passed the Senate once. It is still not law. We are back here again, and I hope my fellow Senators will see that Senator Durbin and I don't give up on this very important issue of…
