Debbie Stabenow

I think we hopefully would all agree that the wealthy should be paying their fair share.

We are talking about how much they already owe, which I think is really, really important.

I am very proud of what Michigan did.

I just have to start out and join all of us in echoing a 'thank you' to the staff.

I am glad to hear you are having those conversations, and I hope it will really result in some much quicker action.

It is critically important that we strongly fund the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, GLRI.

I am very excited about what our American automobile industry is doing to really lean in aggressively, tons of billions of dollars in investments.

We certainly think it is incredibly important that those resources be there.

Every dollar we put into the GLRI actually delivers $3 in economic return.

I am proud to be a co-sponsor of your Clean Energy for America Act, which I think is so significant.

We did actually, in our tax policy, pick winners and losers.

I strongly support your nomination and look forward to moving it forward as quickly as possible.

Recently President Biden signed an executive order creating a cross-agency group with a mandate, as you know, to address systemic racism in the U.S. Government.

I think Congress, going forward, could make a point of putting together a racial impact statement, for example, for any proposed tax provision.

I care about every part of the health-care system, as you know. I have worked for years--it was actually health care that got me in to my own public service.

Just yesterday the CDC reported that more than 87,000 Americans died of drug overdoses over a 12-month period that ended in September, the most deaths in a year since the opioid epidemic began in the 1990s.

In January, 41 percent of American adults reported that they were struggling with anxiety and depression, and that is up from 11 percent before the pandemic.

We invite all of our colleagues to join us.

It is absolutely true that our American automakers are moving toward an all-electric fleet.

I agree that we should do everything we can to ensure children across our country who are in need have access to free breakfasts and lunch.

Feeding kids is not and should not be a partisan issue.

First, I have to say to my friend and our lead on the Finance Committee how grateful I am for his leadership. We have started out very strongly on the Finance Committee with really important topics. I so appreciated yesterday focusing on…

I think turnover information is really important.

We have seen longstanding racial disparities put under bright lights, under COVID.

This started with a lack of seriousness by the former President and the lack of action by the administration.
