Chuck Grassley

Thank you very much and--two thank yous. First of all, you very quickly instituted the over-the-counter hearing aid, the hearing aid law that Senator Warren and I sponsored.

Simply put, this is beyond unacceptable.

Letting them continue has been a bipartisan priority under Presidents Obama, Trump, and now Biden.

If you do not let the Mexican Government know right now that you are going to institute that, you are going to continue these conversations for the 2 years that they have already gone on, and they are never going to end.

I do not understand your equivocation over whether or not these agreements ought to be submitted to Congress.

This is unfair, it is unjustified, and yet President Biden made no mention whatsoever that I know of about the new tariff when he had the chance.

Farmers deserve a sense of urgency from your administration on this.

How have sensationalized emissions scenarios come to dominate the discourse of climate change risk?

Should we be worried that the sky is falling on top of the insurance and reinsurance industries because of climate change?

The budget doubles down on the reckless tax and spending binge of the administration's first two years.

It calls for nearly 5 trillion dollars in new taxes that will kill jobs, and punish hard-working Americans.

Many risk assessment firms use extreme hypothetical data when evaluating climate risk for commerce.

This is a breach of the President's pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class.

Thank you for your initiative.

Letting them continue has been a bipartisan priority under Presidents Obama, Trump, and now Biden.

I want to thank the administration for implementing the new and voluntary Rural Emergency Hospital program that I have worked for 3 or 4 years to get passed.

Simply put, this is beyond unacceptable.

It is my belief that the USDA's discretionary use of CCC undercuts this Committee farm bill process.

I am going to start out with my favorite subject every time we have a farm bill up, on farm payment limitations.

Only Congress has the power to approve treaties.

Lawmakers should address the projected trust fund shortfalls in a timely way in order to phase in necessary changes gradually and give workers and beneficiaries time to adjust to them.

It would help a lot if the President would quit demagoguing the Social Security issue the way he has in recent weeks.

Nobody believes that. People know about the trillions spent in spending binge of the last Congress, and the costly administrative actions.

The more Congress borrows and spends, the higher interest rates will have to go up, and ultimately, it's families and small businesses that will suffer the economic consequences.

Let's actually do our job and have the Budget Committee mark up a budget resolution.
