That does not even include those who have dropped out of the workforce, millions of other Americans.

Well, thank you. We are working to try to include something along those lines as part of either the American Jobs Act or the American Families Act.

President Biden was right on target last night when he observed that trickle-down economics has been a miserable failure in our country.

I will continue to ensure that this direction is carried out as long as the China tariffs remain in place.

I strongly support the American Jobs Bill, and we need to be investing a lot more in developing these capabilities here at home.

USTR's mission and its pursuit of free and fair trade opportunities for U.S. businesses is a domestic priority, and I hope that the Biden administration continues to view it as such.

These tariffs have hit workers in Maryland hard, especially in the clean energy industry, costing us many jobs.

I hope this omission is nothing more than a result of this year's budget development process, and not a reflection upon any suggestion that trade policy is going to take a back seat to other domestic administration priorities.

I do want to work with you and your team on these issues to try to beef up our capacity to provide services in urban areas.

As we have seen, Native peoples have been particularly hard hit by COVID-19, and have faced the highest risks of hospitalization and death from this virus.

This rule preempts State law and violates the criteria that need to be applied for any kind of preemption.

You all passed the Dodd-Frank Act, and that is why you all put restrictions on the OCC's ability to preempt States.

We urge you all to exercise your authority under the Congressional Review Act.

This new so-called true lender rule really just opens up the floodgates to rent-a-banks and predatory lending.

The damage was done, and we all lived through the painful Great Recession that was really sparked by the meltdown of subprime mortgage lending.

I share Senator Shaheen's concerns about--I did not get a chance to comment on her presentation or her statement--that I share those concerns.

I think it is important to continue to pressure the Government of Pakistan to be a constructive player in this.

We clearly have limited leverage with respect to those choices that are being made, but we are not without tools.

I hope the President--President Biden--will call Prime Minister Khan.

Another tool that many of us have proposed over the years is increasing the amount of trade that could take place between Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan and the United States.

I was very pleased to see that President Biden included $40 billion to capitalize a Federal Clean Energy Accelerator...

For years, in fact, for over a decade, we have tried to establish a Federal clean energy financing authority

I first sounded the alarm on this crisis back in 2015.

None of us would want to see the U.S. turn its back on Yemen in its time of greatest need.

I am encouraged by the President's early steps to prioritize and end the conflict.
