I thank the gentleman from New York also for his compassionate remarks in support of this resolution. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I thank the gentlewoman from Texas for her strong compassion for these horrific situations in Iran and for the women of Iran. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I thank Mr. Meeks for his support, which I greatly appreciate. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Miller).

Is there reason why we haven't taken a similar public stance against actions by Ethiopia which presumably are also a violation under the U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231?

The SBA has yet to respond with any policies to effectively tackle these important issues head on.

The SBA and the Treasury, under Janet Yellen, have demonstrated a shocking lack of responsiveness to the concerns and questions from congressional offices and small businesses.

It is our duty on behalf of the American people to ensure they faithfully execute our laws and the responsibilities to the public.

We have a lot of people that would love to go to work, would be great at making things, building things.

We were told: Oh, we are going to be making things again, we are going to be investing.

This is where the government actually invested in a project that was criticized but turned out to be really changing for so much of upstate New York.

Sometimes we wish we had more of your policies than we do in New York.

It is the number one thing I hear on the campaign trail from employers is how do we get people to come to work, how do we get them trained and skilled.

Which state, and who is out there, has the best model legislation that you would propose?

I think there is a middle ground. It is not just all or nothing.

My concern is that we do have, you know, just because somebody creates a little device and it looks just like a block, there is a lot of engineering that could have gone into that because it is critical whether it is an airline part or…

I think there is maybe a middle ground here because I do not like to look at this as a zero sum game; it is either all or nothing.

So quick question, potentially a solution to you, and I am going to ask this of Mr. Clark.

Whenever government gets in the middle of it, it tends to overplay.

It affects everything that we buy.

Rural people, such as myself and a number of the Members here, are already underserved just because everything is far away.

Throwing away is why we have an e-waste problem.

If we cannot fix our stuff, we are in the position of we have got to throw it away, buy new, or do without.

The right to repair is alluring in its simplicity. In theory, it seems obvious that if you buy something, you own it, and you should have the freedom to do what you want with it.

There was an angle for the trial lawyers to find liability on someone, particularly small business owners.

So in education, how do we get them to weather the storm through these rising costs?
