Steve Chabot

Business is booming, and deregulation and tax reform action taken by the President and the Congress have certainly primed the pump for what is looking like an extended period of economic growth that we haven't seen in decades.

But as he and she often say, when it comes to small business, there are no Republican issues and there are no Democratic issues.

The cost of federal regulations can be a lot, up to about $11,000 per employee per small business.

My favorite is the one that says for every two new regulations coming out of Washington, we have to get rid of two new regulations for every one coming out of Washington.

President Trump has worked very effectively, I believe, with Congress to tackle overregulation.

During my tenure on the House Small Business Committee, two of the concerns that we have repeatedly heard from small businesses are the burdens of overregulation, and also taxes.

I am Congressman Steve Chabot, and I represent my home town, Cincinnati, Ohio, and some of its surrounding areas.

It's just really one of the single best variables for determining whether a country will have a successful democratic outcome in institutions is the role of women in political life.

He's lost his legitimacy. It's time for him to go and we have to sort of see this process move forward peacefully.

Nicaragua has to move now on a democratic path.

He has lost his legitimacy.

Nicaragua appears to be heading in the same direction--off a cliff--as Venezuela and Cuba before that.

Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you this morning, and thank you for your continued efforts in supporting the small business community.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you very much.

I hope you will be willing to stop the funding of the train and equip program in Iraq and funding the Iranian militias that are willing to kill Americans and Jews and everybody across the Crescent that disagrees with them.

I think Russia's invasion and criminal annexation of part of Ukraine--Crimea--is going uncommented on by the rest of the world too often.

I would like to commend my colleague from Virginia, Mr. Connolly, for not letting the world forget about Crimea.

I would like to thank my Democratic colleague, Mr. Brad Sherman, as well as Chairman Royce and others for joining me.

That policy was disrespectful and counterproductive, in my view.

Taiwan has been a de facto independent country for more than half a century now.

We must not let Iran reap the benefits of those sacrifices that were made at such a high cost.

Congress over the years has been pretty responsible in a bipartisan manner to make sure that we are protecting as much as possible the endangered animals.
