I applaud this local entrepreneurship.

The Biden Administration, though, has put rules out there that want to try to make everyone adhere to the same guidelines.

Yeah, an ombudsman service is a portal of feedback, and I think any business, any entity ought to welcome it.

Our national debt, as I said earlier in my opening statement, is ballooning to the tune of a trillion dollars every six months.

The spending of borrowed money, almost anything we do new here, is 100 percent borrowed.

With today's hearing, we are looking at a profession that is tremendously beneficial to our society, but one that is not without risks and hazards for those who work in and around it.

I applaud this local entrepreneurship.
