I have called to strengthen these protections before and last week Senator Burr joined me in asking GAO to look at how steps like this could help people.

We need to give workers and businesses tools that make it easier for families to put money away for a rainy day.

It is why Ranking Member Burr, and I are now working to pull together bipartisan ideas in this space.

I pressed hard in our work on the bipartisan SECURE Act to make millions of part time workers eligible for their works' retirement plans.

We need to fix that, and I know Senator Warren and Senator Daines have a bipartisan bill to address this issue of lost and found retirement accounts.

COVID-19 was exactly the kind of crisis millions of families simply could not afford.

It is clear retirement plans right now just aren't working for most Americans.

I am committed to it to make sure that our veterans in New Hampshire can get the care they deserve, they have earned, in our State.

I support the Honoring Our PACT Act, and I look forward to working with Chairman Tester and Ranking Member Moran to strengthen this legislation so that veterans exposed to toxic substances can get the health care and benefits that they…

I am concerned that the VA's recent recommendations to the Asset and Infrastructure Review Commission could reduce access to care for veterans in New Hampshire, including veterans exposed to toxic substances.

I think that there are some holes in the training guidelines that are being suggested.

I would like to find out if you are starting to develop that questionnaire because I do not think you have to wait for the PACT Act to pass.

For the information of the Senators, there will be a rollcall vote at 10:30 a.m. on the motion to proceed to the America COMPETES Act. ____________________

We have got situations where we would love to ensure that all of our childcare workers, all of our childcare families are licensed providers.

Another challenge that we have looked at within Build Back Better would require that providers participate in their state's quality improvement system.

Families across the country are struggling with rising costs, including the high cost of childcare.

Far too many parents cannot afford high quality childcare, even if they can find it.

I recently introduced a bill that would increase funding for early intervention services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to better support infants and toddlers with disabilities.

This is in part because of a limited supply of childcare centers, and because of difficulty filling staff vacancies.

In year one of our plan, two-thirds of working families would pay no more than 7 percent of their income for childcare.

Childcare shouldn't be an extra mortgage.

We have a fully paid plan to bring down costs for families, bring up wages for workers.

Our childcare system is fundamentally broken.
