I want to come to the floor to bring up four subjects. The first one is 30 seconds.
Chuck Grassley
The Public Record
Chuck Grassley is an American politician serving as the senior United States senator from Iowa, a position he has held since 1981. A member of the Republican Party, Grassley has been influential in various legislative areas, including agriculture, judiciary, and finance. He has served in several key roles, including as the President pro tempore of the United States Senate, making him one of the longest-serving senators in U.S. history. Grassley is known for his commitment to transparency and accountability in government, often emphasizing the importance of oversight in federal agencies.
Please Mr Chuck Grassley, we met in 2017, can you do something for persons born in your state and living abroad?
Like many Americans, I cherish my right to bear arms. In a time when law enforcement response might be uncertain, the need for vulnerable populations to feel safe and be able to protect themselves is more important than ever.
Both Republican and Democrat Senators have warned President Biden that he should not terminate 56 U.S. attorneys, particularly those who have ongoing sensitive investigations.
It is very important that we have strong domestic manufacturing, and that is very important for our economy.
These reforms were designed to encourage business investment at home, and to increase our competitiveness abroad.
I am more interested in OMB from the standpoint of what it does on regulatory review than what I do in regard to the budget part of your work.
I thought I could trust that contact point because of Grassley's assistance to Dr. David Kessler.
I believe Congress must pass something like what he and I worked out last year in a bipartisan way.
I have been working on for 6 years, and you will be in a position to get the regulations and get it underway.
This gives us a chance to discuss some policy, not necessarily whether you should have the job.
We continue to see large farms use loopholes to maximize crop insurance payments.
I have long advocated for responsible payment limitations on commodity programs.
Ensuring an affordable, safe, and stable supply of food is one of the most important jobs that you or any Secretary of Ag has.
I know that he knows agriculture very well. He knows the importance of maintaining the institution of the family farm.
He knows that the family farm institution is the foundation of success for American agriculture.
It’s a big constitutional question about impeaching a private citizen. Should Congress, under the Constitution, even do it?
I think it would be a big mistake to raise taxes on individuals and businesses as they struggle through an economic recovery and a pandemic.
I hope we can move away from partisan divisiveness and personalized attacks against each other.
I do not support socialism, or Marxism, or so-called democratic socialism that would end with command-and-control policies.
I thank both for these clarifications of their intent. I look forward to working with them toward these ends. ____________________
