What will it take for the Administration to follow the law, and are there other issues where the Administration plans to ignore Congress?

it still astounds me that we are nearly $30 trillion in debt and we are looking to borrow more money and spend more, regardless of the merits.

I think we spent $800-$900 billion. And, of course, we have spent $4 trillion, another 2 with ARP.

would it not make sense that for those states that have unspent balances that we would ask them to spend through that first before we would give them more money

before I ran for the Senate, I ran a business that started in my hometown. Oftentimes you get criticized when you try to draw a parallel between a business and this place. And I guess it is so different, so it would be easy to make that…

I think if you want to regain the trust of the American public, you probably need to look at a total revamp on what we do in terms of how we contend with it over the next year or so.

Over 62 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Yet, the rate of positive COVID-19 cases reported in the U.S. has increased six fold from early December to early January.

I think we ought to do something that puts better processes into place.

I will always be there because I keep my ear to the pavement when it comes to those issues, and it is growing in concern every year.

I would just ask that if, in fact, we were moving in the right direction, and just because it was maybe under a different administration, that it would be good not to reflexively maybe be against something that is already showing some…

We are here today because of the vaccine mandate. When I got back home over the break, I never had so many friends and fellow business owners who actually made it a point to find me and tell me that this can't be happening. With the full…

My belief is that if you reform the system first that even folks on your side of the aisle should be for more transparency, more competition.

What healthcare was as a percentage of our GDP? Seven percent. It has nearly tripled in the 50 years we have been having the discussion.

I always believed in covering preexisting conditions with no caps on coverage, but my main interest was reducing healthcare costs.

Until no American goes to sleep hungry or is unsure from where his or her next meal will come from, we have not successfully completed the task.

When you have got bad stats like costing three times as much as a part of our economy as it did five decades ago, that soul searching and looking at how you might do a better job for the most important part of our economy, and agriculture…

We need more transparency, we need more innovation, we need more consumerism, but the fourth leg of that stool is better nutrition.

Any discussion about the state of nutrition in America today must include a discussion about the quality.

This nutrition crisis we face is a threat. In fact, I would say it is the greatest threat to the health and well-being of our country right now.

I believe we need to rethink the way we approach food and nutrition policy. Our lives literally depend upon it.

It is interesting because China, just a few decades ago, was a developing country. Now they want to still maintain that status.

My concern would be with the biggest player out there, rather than us, which is China.

You deserve respect. Bring the COVID here.

Thank you, Senator Tuberville. Mr. President. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Indiana.

Every year, I travel and visit every county in the State of Indiana--92 of them. You know, I can't ever recall anyone saying that they want the IRS to poke into their business more on a day-to-day basis. In fact, they bemoan the fact that…
