If you vote against this amendment and for this bill, you are voting to cut veterans' healthcare, slash the National Institutes of Health, throw families out of housing through Section 8, gut NASA, and defund the FBI.

We should be encouraging project labor agreements because on projects like Naval Base Kitsap in 2015, a multi-billion dollar project, it did not go over budget.

America has been a critical and indispensable ally, as it always has been in struggles for democracy and human rights against authoritarian and totalitarian aggression.

I urge approval of this amendment on a unanimous and bipartisan basis to demonstrate continuing congressional support for the people of Ukraine.

That is not capitalism; that is socialism.

The United States capital markets are the envy of the world because of the work the SEC does.

It is ironic that when we passed Dodd-Frank and gave the SEC the responsibility for restoring trust in the markets, that the industry is pushing back.

We reverted to socialism when we took $700 billion from the people, taxpayer money, and gave it to the banks.

We fund about 25,000 job training programs, and according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), we don't do a very good job.

I always took a dim view of softening of the labor market because it reduced targeting power.

I can't help but see this as an opportunity to perhaps redouble our efforts to pull workers who don't traditionally have strong connections to the job market.
