I would love to have a chance to work with you as we try to sort that through.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And to the three witnesses, welcome, welcome to the Committee.

I think it is important to remember that the baseline budget outlook when President Trump took office had $10 trillion of deficits in it over the next 10 years.

the jury is out on this tax bill. We have got to see this experiment.

I wouldn't disagree, but now we have increased it. So if you didn't like the other deficit, you certainly can't like a bigger deficit? Is that true?

I am concerned that FEMA has removed references to climate change from its Strategic Plan.

Certainly, today, in the era of mega-data, we are finding that data drives everything, including consumer behaviors.

I think it is clear, seeing I hear it all the time, including for my own staff, yes or no, does Facebook use audio obtained from mobile devices to enrich personal information about its users?

Well, you bring up the principles because, as you are well aware, AI systems, especially in very complex environments when you have machine learning, it is sometimes very difficult to understand, as you mentioned, exactly how those…

I think it is safe to say very simply that Facebook is losing the trust of an awful lot of Americans as a result of this incident.

But also, people are now beginning to wonder is there an expense to that when it comes to perhaps exposing them to being manipulated or through deception.

my home State of Michigan has the best and most productive workers in the world. Michigan workers built the American auto industry and the American middle class, and they continue to roll out cutting edge innovations. Our farmers and…

I rise today to honor Michigan's farmers. Agriculture is a vital part of Michigan's economy. Our State is home to more than 51,000 farmers who contribute over $100 billion to the Nation's economy. Michigan is also the second most diverse…

If we knew how to do that, this thing would have been solved a long time ago, and I've not heard anyone talking about that in a substantive way.

From what I'm hearing now, you've got a new plan from President Trump that says we'll give you 13 percent and you come up with 87 percent.

In fact, according to the political investigation, overtime laws that are not enforced properly cost an estimated $15 billion in lost wages.

I would agree with Senator Sullivan, who suggested that we need this report as soon as possible.

So the question, though, as you mentioned, we may have that capability, unless the system is more sophisticated.

I think your quote is 'family sustaining jobs,' which, certainly, I can't agree more.

This is just smoking mirrors right now. That's basically what it is.

She said she watches North Korea with an eyeball and a half, and then a half an eyeball on Iran.

So it's pretty clear that that is simply a worthless standard to have 4/1 right now as part of it.

the Federal Government can help upgrade our nation's crumbling infrastructure.

It's tragic, and the decisions, and we could get into that forever, but a lot of that was driven by the fact that there wasn't enough money anymore to support the infrastructure that was there.

TIGER grants are important and I'm sure you're aware that in the President's budget, he calls for eliminating TIGER grants.
