This is a smart time to invest. And if we do this, we are able to save $2 billion a year of tax money.

I think the pandemic has changed the way a lot of people are thinking about this, and it is certainly changing the way how government is thinking about it.

On March 22, 1915, the Missouri General Assembly set aside the third Wednesday of October each year as Missouri Day. Due to the efforts of Mrs. Anna Korn, a native Missourian, Missouri Day is a time for schools to honor the State and for…

It is really exciting that we not only have the ability to grow the corn, to produce ethanol, and soybeans, to produce biodiesel, but we also have our auto industry retooling, and I want to yield to my friend Congressman Cleaver to tell…

If I could interject and amplify on that, I think the process has been very disingenuous when we do know we are going to have ongoing expenses for disaster relief, ongoing expenses for the ongoing efforts in fighting terrorism overseas…

We have also been joined by our colleague, Congresswoman Schwartz from Pennsylvania. And welcome. It is great for you to be with us tonight.

Right. This Republican leadership is so out of touch with the American people. When we all go home and talk to our constituents, we get an earful. They want to see people connected with the people back home, and that is our job, especially…
