I challenge employers throughout the country to make sure to take that into consideration.

I want to give a shout out to a company in Indiana, the Cook Medical Group, who does medical device manufacturing as its business, but it has taken on trying to make affordable housing something that they are going to try to make.

Can you cite a couple of the key regulations that drive costs up? And generally, they are always well intended, but then can work at cross-purposes for the affordability factor.

I mean, that just seems outrageously high as a median, and that is actually higher than what the median is across the country.

I do look forward--sometimes we are at odds in terms of what we should do, but there is always practical legislation in the middle, and I would hope that we can have those conversations that get us there.

Federal Government, I think too, can help generally on the main drivers of an economy that folks are wondering what do we have, by not spending and borrowing more, because you don't need a macroeconomics degree, that creates inflation.

I think the solutions to all of these are probably left best to the laboratory of the states.

I think that is the wrong way to accomplish maybe a goal that is noble to help those that need help affording a place to live, but not like that.

Spending policies, I think, have exacerbated an already unaffordable housing market.

A lot of times things we do here are well-intended, but you cannot do it by borrowing from future generations.

Under the Biden Administration, Americans are less able to afford a home than practically any other time in our history.

At least 10 places across our State we have had PFAS showing up in the water at levels above the Federal guidelines.

The ability to achieve the American dream of homeownership is in peril as housing today is less affordable than it has ever been.

When 75% of Hoosiers are unable to afford the median price of a new home under President Biden's economy, we know there is a serious issue.

More housing needs to be built in order to lower prices.

Federal bureaucrats should not step in the way. We must do more to address federal regulatory burdens.

We are going to have to--you know, STEM degrees are under produced in Indiana, for instance, and we need more of them to fill that high demand, very high pay niche.

They are going to make more money in many cases than most four-year degrees would produce, and they are going to have a job from the day they get their diploma.

When I do visit all 92 counties in our State, by far the issue I hear even above and beyond rural broadband, affordable housing, would be workforce.

I challenge employers throughout the country to make sure to take that into consideration.

I want to give a shout out to a company in Indiana, the Cook Medical Group, who does medical device manufacturing as its business, but it has taken on trying to make affordable housing something that they are going to try to make--weigh in…

But regulation, as it comes from here especially. Can you cite a couple of the key regulations that drive costs up?

I mean, that just seems outrageously high as a median, and that is actually higher than what the median is across the country.
