What's ironic about the culture of dependency is they never talk about it when we bring up corporate welfare and corporate entitlements. If we really want to talk about entitlements and who is depending upon government, then let's put it…
Thank you to the gentleman from North Carolina. Now I would like to turn to the cochairman of the Progressive Caucus, the gentleman from Minnesota. I want to commend the gentleman and the Progressive Caucus because I know you had a hearing…
You were very clear, and I know Mr. Clyburn would expect nothing less than for us to lay out what our position is. I know some people ask: What is the Congressional Black Caucus' position on how to address poverty? You touched on it. It's…
Of course. And with your voice and your continued participation I'm sure we will do just that, which is to continue to advocate for these as priorities. And I do want to go, as I turn to my colleague from North Carolina, the vice chairman…
Because if they finish school, when they finish school, should they be so far in debt they can't afford to buy a home, to buy a car, to start saving for their future, or should they be focused on paying $1,000, $1,500, $2,000 a month in…
Thank you, Congresswoman Moore. I couldn't agree with you more when you talk about, first and foremost, your last point, which is if we fail to invest in our children, in our elderly, and in the disabled, then we have done a disservice to…
At this time, Mr. Speaker, I'd like to turn to my colleague, the gentlelady of Wisconsin (Ms. Moore), the alum of TRIO. She is a dynamic leader who talks so much about the need to help young people get the quality education, particularly…
Thank you very much, Congresswoman Lee. Thank you for your leadership and for those solutions that you're offering to help move people out of poverty and into the middle class and recognizing that many of these programs that those on the…
Well, I know the challenge is something that you have called upon for people to accept. This is a reality for 16 million children, 46 million Americans who are living at this level now. The average meal is $1.48 per meal.
Thank you, Congresswoman. Let me just engage you for a moment because you hit on a number of points. I want, again, to make sure that we are providing a voice to these very important issues. And to follow the conversation, if you're tuning…
And we don't know yet if sage grouse will need to be listed, but our Governor is working with State, local, and Federal agencies to help recover species now, so we can be proactive.
My objective of being on this Committee is finding best practices to solve problems.
I request and urge the swift passage of the legislation so that the development of a management plan that provides for the long-term protection and management of the Monument can be accomplished soon.
I just hope that we will work in this Oversight Committee to figure out ways to implement this bill...
I want to follow up on something my colleague, the gentlelady from New Mexico, talked about...
One of my concerns is the implementation in ensuring that all constituents are able to access information, even the struggle that we have around online.
I am from Nevada and we actually have a governor, who happens to be a Republican, who is working to implement this bill.
And I completely agree with your approach, bringing everybody together, regardless if they are State, private, Federal, to work on projects in an inclusive manner.
I really appreciated your perspective and the work that you are doing with Restore New Mexico.
So, your last response to the Chairman's question. What happens when the approval only deals with one type of species, and then a different Federal agency has a interest or a scope or responsibility in another.
The Healthy Habitats Coalition and some of the testimony seems focused on noxious weeds.
I appreciate very much the panel. And as I said, this is a very important topic.
Invasive species monitoring, control, and eradication is time consuming and expensive.
The spread of invasive species is costing billions of dollars and negatively impacts agriculture, commerce, water quality, and wildlife habitat.
