30 percent seems like a huge margin when they assume absolutely none of the risk.
I have to believe that the folks not buying insurance tend to have lower risk.
there has been an important development in the effort to bring fairness for the victims of poisonous drywall that was imported from China. Drywall sourced from China was found to emit dangerous chemicals that make people sick and damage…
Thank you, Madam President. I stand today also with high hopes that the new leadership at the VA will bring much needed changes to a department that is clearly, quite frankly, in a shambles, failing our Nation's veterans. During his…
I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
The Council should also give priority to projects that address multiple criteria as opposed to only one.
As you know, no one felt the effects of the Deepwater Horizon disaster more than the citizens of Louisiana.

I ask unanimous consent for 1 additional minute. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
I will consider objecting, but I would far prefer to amend the unanimous consent request so that I get the additional minute I was just denied and the Senator from Maryland gets her time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without…
my unanimous consent request was for me to finish my remarks in 1 minute and then have the Senator---- The PRESIDING OFFICER. The pending unanimous consent request is from the Senator from Maryland. Is there objection?
I look forward to hearing from Administrator McCarthy on EPA's proposed existing source rule.
What I am hearing is you factored in overall national economic growth. That is not what I am talking about.
I just want to note that factored into the EPA's Louisiana plan are just facts that aren't there, capacity that isn't there, that isn't operating.
