Ms. Long, in your view is it--is that really happening, and if so, who are the decisionmakers?

The Secretary recently announced a $100 million program that was created to, I will use the quote 'create a new Healthy Food Incentive Fund.'

Americans need answers.

We must secure our baby formula supply chains so this never happens again.

This is unacceptable. If we cannot solve this problem, heaven help us on issues with complexity.

The nutrition of children should not be used as a tool to advance the Biden Administration's progressive agenda.

This should be a time the USDA should listen to the local folks on the ground and learn from the challenges the pandemic taught us.

Taxpayer funds should be used to help students in real need. Allowing wealthy families to take advantage of school lunch programs is not responsible use of taxpayer dollars.

However, as we exit this pandemic, creating permanent changes to school nutrition programs without first determining if such changes are needed is nonsensical.

Committee Republicans understand the importance of ensuring children are well-fed during the school day, and we recognize the importance of reaching students that are truly in need with the benefits of school-provided nutritional programs.

We just need that information, Mr. Secretary, it is important as part of the process.

Charter schools consistently enroll about 10 percent of Idaho's students, and they have achieved largely positive results.

I should have interjected earlier, but these first few seconds of my time to communicate that I do take personal offense to what Congresswoman Wilson stated earlier.

Some of the things that we deal with are more pleasant than others, and the outcomes that happen are largely--at least the positive ones, are largely a function of the work that you do.

Preventing youth from ending up in detention is imperative.

Anyone who works in this field knows that prevention is key.

Parents, teachers, and community leaders are the first line of defense when it comes to preventing criminal behavior from at-risk youth.

Promoting safe communities for America's children is a national priority.

It is a win-win for American taxpayers that we have a company that is proposing to invest $1 billion of private-sector money to cleaning up what was an environmental problem.

I find it interesting that this was actually caused, if you will, by a World War II demand by the Federal Government.

Whenever Democrats and Washington bureaucrats expand Federal control over private businesses, it reduces innovation.

This legislation is a massive power grab meant to substantially increase the Federal Government's control over the workforce.

Calling our country's job creators thieves is beyond outrageous and should have no place in our policymaker's discourse.
