Chuck Grassley

I'm very pleased that we have been able to bridge so many divides and I am optimistic about our chances going forward.

That's why I wrote a bipartisan provision with Republican Senator Chuck Grassley from Iowa in the new education reform law-the Every Student Succeeds Act-to require school districts to work with child welfare agencies to make sure that…

About a month ago, the president even called me to say he still supports renewable fuels and that he will keep his word on the Renewable Fuel Standard.

Does this bill provide more dollars in 2026 in Iowa than it receives today in Medicaid subsidies and reinsurance?

Lobbyists for the American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association, the AARP, and the insurance companies all endorsed Obamacare.

Doesn't everyone agree we need to slow the rate of growth in health-care spending?

Obamacare has failed in Iowa. There is only one company planning to offer insurance in 2018 in Iowa.

You know, I could maybe give you 10 reasons why this bill shouldn't be considered. But Republicans campaigned on this so often that you have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign. That's pretty much as much of reason…

Thanks to both of you.

We see expensing as the most powerful policy change that you can make to improve economic growth.

As part of a pro-growth tax reform, there has been considerable debate over what is more important, lower rates or expensing.

I am sure you all know the importance of E15 because we have reached the point where with E10 we do not have enough petroleum.

I hope you could be in a strong position to express to them that we need to fight that very, very hard.

I thank Senator Klobuchar for bringing up the issue of biofuels, and I would just associate myself with her remarks.

The goal of this legislation is to ensure that sick kids have access to the very best care.

I think I have a fairly easy question for Dr. Schwartz, but before I do that, I want to say that we have this program that is a CHIP program for my State of Iowa.

Thirty-three billion of that came from the health-care sector.

Since the 1986 amendments, the taxpayers have recovered more than $53 billion of public money lost to fraud.

The False Claims Act is the most effective antifraud tool that we have.

In 1986, I coauthored amendments to the Lincoln-era False Claims Act that empowered whistleblowers to help the government identify and prosecute fraud on taxpayers.

I thank the Senator from California for her fine remarks on Mr. Wray. I am here for the same reason she is, and I thank her for also facilitating getting this through the committee in a very quick way. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Garcia-Diaz, for GAO doing some studies I have asked you to do.

That was wrong to include, at the last minute of the farm bill conference.

We do not want another WTO cotton case that ends up with the taxpayers giving Brazil nearly $1 billion.

I think markets provide clarity for when to plant more or less of a particular crop.
