If it involves having to raise taxes to pay for critical infrastructure, we should be doing it.

Do you think that proportion is applicable to any health care system, including the VA?

There is a lot of talk about resiliency, most time when you talk about resiliency you are talking about climate change.

I think that says a lot right there, about where your priorities are.

There are some places where we should mine, and there are some places we should not.

There is a lot more work to be done.

The evaluation you are going to do is based on science. It is not just somebody coming out and throwing darts at a dartboard, right?

Water is life. You know, if we don't have good water, it ain't just the fish that are going to die.

I appreciate your--your commitment to making sure that not only do we have good opportunity for student athletes, but we have good universities behind them.

Look, this--this is a solvable deal. It is going to take folks communicating.

I think there are some opportunities here. Sports is important. Probably more important than it should be, OK?

If it is a bubble and that bubble pops, are you guys in good enough shape to handle that?

I have always talked about availability and affordability. It is a problem and continues to be a problem.

Demand is outpacing supply, and the result of that is we are seeing housing prices in States like Montana go through the roof.

There is also a lack of affordable accessible housing across the country, and that problem has only gotten worse during this pandemic.

I have been concerned about small businesses and families in rural communities having access to capital and credit.

I want to thank you, Vice Chair Quarles, for the work that you and your team have done at the Fed during this crisis.

I don’t know how you compromise on a nonpartisan commission that determine what happened on the insurrection on January 6, it seems like a no brainer to me that would pass the Senate 100 and nothing.

I will really hope that when it comes to roads and bridges infrastructure, we continue to rely on existing formulas.

I would use this moment to compliment Senator Boozman, or highlight.

I would second the comments you just made, and hopefully folks above are listening, and we can move forward on this.

If we are going to get the information we need, we have got to get this bill out.

This is an issue that the VA has not tackled or Congress has not tackled it either.

I think there is genuine belief that we need to get toxic exposure solved.

If we are going to solve things like Agent Orange exposure, burn pit exposure, we need to stop it from happening to begin with.
