I think politicians, including Jay Powell at the Fed, through whatever this modern monetary theory is supposed to be, I think it runs us into the ditch in a hard way.

I think that is something that we got to be aware of.

It is not the job of the Federal Government to ensure economic outcomes.

I think there is now a movement that seeks to use the Federal Government to end equality of opportunity and maybe replace it with equality of outcome.

I think equality of opportunity is a bedrock of the American dream.

Americans must be guaranteed a level playing field to succeed economically on their own merits.

Reserving the right to object, I come from the business world and know firsthand that employers care about their employees. If you don't keep your workplace safe--we just discussed it today in the Budget hearing--they are not going to…

as in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions be discharged from further consideration of S. 1081 and the Senate proceed to its immediate consideration; further, that the…

I have always been a believer that you can organize, but you can never let something get out of hand to where it gets too far the other direction.

I think that has largely been lost in all the other issues that have come up.

I think the Government shouldn't be pushing or have it out there on a portal that moves you towards irreversible sex change therapy.

You have got anywhere from huge corporations that, to me, shoulder the biggest responsibility.

I don't think you should game the system by issuing 1099s when, technically, that individual is an employee.

It is not a great business plan to borrow your way into the future when a lot of it does not give you a true return on investment.

It is interesting that across my state and I think probably across most states, a common theme.

When I travel the state, and I visit all 92 counties every year, it is one of the fun parts of the job, workforce, workforce, workforce.

This is an interesting discussion because generally there is a broader kind of opinion on what is needed.

A lot of this can be done at the grassroots level and hardly cost anything.

The way that we are approaching this to believe that a 4-year school is going to be the solution, in fact, really isn't the case.

They are not apologetic. They are not even quiet about it. They would want to replace us someday.

I just was scratching my head why, you know, we had a rule recently through NEPA that is going to make it, in my mind, a little more complicated.

I think at the level of where the crisis still is relative to opioids, that additional authority and then subsequent rulemaking that tries to do more there, most of us would expect that to happen and would be warranted.

Leveraging technology and finding new markets would be the hallmark of any successful sector of our economy; and never more applicable than in agriculture today.

I would love to see where you got engaging states that were willing to put more in, would maybe get preference on stuff, but inflation is by far the biggest issue we are dealing with.

I think that is something that we got to be aware of.
