Investments in physical and human infrastructure can dramatically enhance America's competitiveness overall and support our efforts to compete directly with China.

President Eisenhower told Congress in 1958 that world trade strengthens our friends and increases their desire to be friends.

Put plainly, there is no need for a Republican or Democrat policy on China, just an American policy.

We do not fear competition; we embrace it, because America's workers, farmers, and businesses have always confronted challenges head-on.

Advancing the funding of basic research, not specifically applied research but basic research, is essential in order to ensure American competitiveness.

If we are not able to actually bring the COVID-19 pandemic under control, there will not actually be a global economy.

Having Congress in the driver's seat on critical trade policy decisions is not a weakness, it is a strength.

The notion that we would aid and abet Made in China 2025 is crazy to me.

The failure to be targeted in our imposition of 301 tariffs is critical across our economy.

Whatever anyone may claim China has achieved through its system, ask them if they would rather live in a world that reflects its approach to its citizens or ours.

In terms of competitiveness, we should not close off our market or engage in protectionism.

If we are going to really compete against China, we need to backstop these companies against China's competitors.

An American policy is precisely that: it reflects the best of America.

There is no need for a Republican or a Democrat policy on China, just an American policy.

America's innovative industries, including its digital technology companies, are the envy of the world.

Concentrating unfettered power in the executive is China's approach, not ours.

What the Biden administration did with the stroke of a pen was kill thousands of solid jobs in the energy industry.

We need to take an all-of-the-above approach, as has been mentioned here, and not do it in a way that devastates complete sectors of our economy.

I hate to see us come in and use the power of Government to distort markets, to impose new requirements ahead of the market's arrival there.

The tax code (sometimes by accident and sometimes by design) does lead to differing impacts based on where an individual--who is a citizen or resident of the United States--lives.

I am greatly concerned by President Biden's income tax proposal to allow for the unlimited deduction of State and local taxes.

I am opposed to the repeal of the SALT cap.

We have heard a lot lately about income and wealth inequality. And it is a very critical issue.

I look forward to hearing your experiences, thoughts, and ideas today.

Whatever we consider, it will be important that the policies are developed on a bipartisan basis.
