I am a strong advocate for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program. I am very glad that the administration in this year's budget did not include the phase-out language.

Why don't we lend them money? Why do we lend the money to go to a 4-year college to study something in the humanities that may or may not bear any fruit and not lend the person who just learned a skill to get started in being a vibrant…

I just think these should go to ethics advisory boards and let the chips fall where they may.

I just want to thank Dr. Schrier and agree that research is very, very important in agriculture and is going to keep us the leading country in the world in our agricultural sector.

I believe this crisis could have been averted if the administration had acted on supply chain issues last fall.

The administration should have made it a priority to address supply chain shortages long before now.

I'm frustrated by the Biden Administration's lack of urgency prior to last week to address this issue.

I think we have to look at ways of doing more with less in the government, not doing the same with more.

A majority of Americans simply disagree that they think the economy is in good shape.

We have inflation at historic highs. That is not economically positive.

I am not sure when this was written, but I am sure you are aware that the GDP actually contracted 1.4 percent last quarter.

This problem is further explained in a one-pager that is attached to this testimony.

These actions are a recipe for further inflation that rob Americans of their hard-earned dollars, reduce their purchasing power, and would derail small businesses and bolster the President's monopolistic donors.

I think the CDC has taken a tremendous step in their mask mandate removal or mask guidance removal for people with vaccines.

In the end, it is an individual's choice to get this vaccine, because it is an EUA; it is not an FDA-approved vaccine.

I am glad to hear that the Federal Government is not going to get involved in vaccine passports.

We are actively doing research on firearm injury prevention...

I think that Florida actually has among the lower rates of infection.

I personally think we should exempt the invasive species in the Chesapeake Bay from this additional inspection protocol.

In Baltimore, when they tear down a statute of Christopher Columbus, that doesn't contribute to sharing rich history and contributions.

I want to thank you for that, because there is no way she could compete against biologic males.

Community colleges can serve as an affordable, accessible alternative to a 4-year institution.

The United States holds over $1,500,000,000,000 in student debt, with over 40 million borrowers.

If it is a vision of merely doing advanced translational research, then NCATS should have done that.

I am glad to hear that you are willing to enforce the law, as written, including the Church amendments.
