In helping Puerto Rico out of its debt crisis, it is essential that Puerto Rico be better prepared for natural disasters.

So I look forward to your response and the guarantee that you will tell us whether or not these medical--critical missions at Nellis Air Force Base and Creech will be threatened, based on the proposed cuts by this Administration.

What is the arbitrary standard with an award date? These are critical missions.

Can you guarantee me and the men and women at Nellis Air Force Base and Creech Air Force Base that this Administration will not strip away their funds to pay for a border wall?

Now to pay for their tax cuts for the rich, they want to balance the budget on the backs of seniors, children, and the poor by proposing devastating cuts to Medicare, Social Security, the Affordable Care Act, and Medicaid.

The GOP tax scam helped the wealthy and well connected and stuck middle-class workers and families with the bill.

The GOP Congress passed corporate tax cuts and tax cuts for the wealthiest and the most well connected adding $1.8 trillion to the deficit over time.

President Trump promised during his 2016 campaign that he would not cut Medicaid funding.

This will be detrimental in Nevada, which has the seventh-highest population of individuals with HIV in the nation.

For states like Nevada, that have population growth, it is not going to actually allow us to keep up with our health care needs.

Well, based on this budget, Trump values corporate profits over Medicare. He plans to cut Medicare by anywhere from half a trillion dollars to $840 billion.

So why is the President breaking his promise that he made to the people in October of 2018 in Nevada by proposing $116 million of funding for Yucca Mountain?

This Administration's budget is dead on arrival in the House.

Can you assure me that none of these projects in my district will be delayed or have funds stripped away to pay for a useless border wall?

Show me your budget, and I will tell you what you value.

I wanted to share with you that in Nevada it is estimated that $107 million worth of exports are threatened by new tariffs.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and to the Ranking Member, for this opportunity and the hearing.

As the price of steel rises, so does the construction cost across our State.

In Nevada it is estimated that $107 million worth of exports are threatened by new tariffs.

We want you to be successful. On behalf of the American worker, the American business owner, the American consumer, all of whom are depending upon the successful outcome of your negotiations.

But when we looked at the tax filing process, removing the married status and deduction, we would have ended up owing the government several thousand dollars more.

So why did we give permanent tax cuts to big corporations and not help more small businesses so that you could predictably plan for the future and hire more people?

The tax scheme that was passed by the prior Congress gave a temporary tax benefit to small business but gave a permanent tax break to big corporations.

Being an advocate of small business is not a partisan issue.

Sea-level rise is real.
