Debbie Stabenow

We need results on this. There has been talk for years and years, as long as I have been here.

You indicated to me last year that you were, quote, 'committed to developing effective approaches to address the problem of currency manipulation.'

We need markets; we need markets for our products, but we also need a level playing field.

I think a goal for all of us ought to be exporting our products, not our jobs.

We must never allow the devastation of the Great Recession to be repeated.

We need to move forward and get a fully functioning commission.

If we were to end Healthy Michigan, the addiction treatment gap would increase by 50 percent.

I am very concerned that the Medicaid cuts would really make it more difficult for us in Michigan and across the country to fight the opioid crisis.

I authored the language in the ACA to make sure that this was included in everything, because it had not been happening up until then.

I think it ought to be a basic human right. We all get sick.

The proof is in the paycheck.

I am just wondering, as it goes forward what we need to do.

To stay in the lead, we need strong partnerships between industry and our scientists at the Department of Energy and research institutions.

If the United States does not continue to invest in new automotive technologies, we will be left idling in a cloud of dust while the rest of the world speeds ahead of us.

One out of every five vehicles manufactured is manufactured in Michigan, and our state's 944,000 auto-related jobs account for about 20 percent out of our total workforce.

I have often said that Michigan's workers can out-build, out-innovate and out-imagine anyone, and we are proud of that.

Well, thank you, Doctor.

I have not seen anybody lowering prices because they got a big windfall in the tax cut.

I do support generic drugs and more competition in that area, and I think that that is very important.

20 percent of the world's fresh water surrounding the Great Lakes is important.

There is another country that cares about this right next to us called Canada.

The administration zeroed out the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which is a bipartisan initiative strongly supported in the House and the Senate.

We are talking about in many cases whether or not people are going to get their cancer medicine, their insulin. It is life and death.

So we are going to go back at it again and hopefully be able to keep the funding going.

I cannot believe here you go again on the Great Lakes. I cannot believe this.
