There is nothing that sets us apart more from Communist China, no greater advantage that we have as Americans, as United States military than our ability to think critically.

There is a tendency to kick the can down the road and not deal with things.

We need to talk about how we better educate our children.

We are asking, which I think is the appropriate question first, is what do the American need us to do?

We have essentially changed the mindset of the last 50 or 60 years about how the federal government deals with the challenges of the country.

As I said as Frederick Douglas said more than 160 years ago it's easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

I think the 2-years of early childhood education probably next to doing something about climate change are the one thing that we can do to guarantee a vibrant future for our country and our society.

Some of the comments that question your motivation and your caring from Mr. Cawthorn, just were way above the bay, and you're owed an apology for that.

I can't think of anyone I would trust more with the welfare lives of your children at the border than I would you because you've shown during that whole time, and through your actual career, how much you do care about the people regardless…

I want to thank you for your responses and your knowledge and the work you have done on this budget.

You shouldn't think of it the debt, the national debt. You should think about that as the total investment.

We have been accumulating debt in this country for 230 some odd years.

This budget does that.

If we want to expand the economy for everyone, we have to make these investments.

I want to congratulate Acting OMB Director Shalanda Young on your historic appointment.

We can do that without taxing people who make less than $400,000.

So my question is after 50 years we need to finally put the end to black lung disease, and I wonder if the Department has a strategy for doing that.

I have to make a comment before I ask my question, and that is that listening to some of my republican colleagues it seems to me they think the mission of the Department of Labor is to defend our workers from the unions, and not from the…

The economy has created 2.2 million jobs since the Biden/Harris administration took office.

Not a single republican supported the package, but it is producing results for workers, businesses, and communities.

The Trump administration has abandoned the nearly complete infection disease standard when it took office.

For years, the Trump administration made it harder for low-income and middle-class workers to succeed in America.

The 800 million dollars is absolutely essential to supporting our needs to recover from the pandemic.

Unfortunately, there's been so much politicization of this issue about schools staying open or not open.

This is a topic that I have a great personal interest in.
