I am concerned that some of our Democrat House colleagues now want to push their changes--that allegedly strengthen labor and environment standards, but most certainly weaken our intellectual property rights--into new agreements before we…

To date, the administration's efforts on that front are fairly disappointing.

I assume that if we can get those issues resolved, the actual terms of the USMCA with regard to dairy, for example, would result in significant benefits to American dairy producers.

It would be profoundly misguided for the Biden administration to throw the State-based insurance regulatory regime out in pursuit of its climate agenda.

Global warming is real, and it likely will present new risks.

The administration's proposals to increase spending that hit Americans with higher taxes and strangle the economy with regulations and red tape are not a path to prosperity.

I am determined to solve this crisis, which is why I am proud to lead critical legislation, along with my colleagues Senator Cantwell, Chairman Wyden, and Senator Portman, called the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Improvement Act (S. 1136).

Such high debt is risky, especially in the current high-inflation environment.

I recently joined my Senate Finance Committee Republican colleagues in sending a letter to the Inspector General for Tax Administration regarding the June 8, 2021, ProPublica article titled, 'The Secret IRS Files: Trove of…

I think that we need to get much deeper into that.

This proposal to literally increase the IRS's ability to, in my opinion, violate the privacy...

I look forward to hearing about how the IRS would spend the $1.2 billion in additional funding in fiscal year 2022.

We do not know the details of what happened here yet or not, but this information today is very relevant.

I completely agree that we need to make sure that those who fail to pay taxes due are identified and are forced to pay the tax that they owe, and pay the necessary penalties for tax avoidance.
