Members can start by agreeing on basic facts.

Thank you, Chairman Wyden and Ranking Member Crapo, for your continued commitment to supporting individuals living in nursing homes.

The Trump administration dramatically reduced the penalties for failing to meet basic protective Federal standards.

Today the committee meets to discuss another challenge that the pandemic exposed: the fragility of our supply chains, and the need to boost manufacturing in America.

We do have bipartisan interest now in addressing this issue: building up our domestic manufacturing to bolster the supply of semiconductors and other critical components and products.

This is about high-skill and high-wage jobs for American workers.

The Finance Committee has worked hard over the last year to tackle the public health and jobs crises brought on by COVID-19.

It only makes sense that American workers benefit from projects funded by American tax dollars.

Our State is known for innovation that comes out of the Silicon Forest.

I could not agree more. And I think that this is incredibly important, and an incredibly important topic.

It is going to be critically important to look at the changes to the 2017 Trump tax law, which in fact created a disincentive for research and development.

There is a real job-creation tool kit for reshoring and bolstering American manufacturing.

I intend to work with Senator Crapo and all of our colleagues to come up with a strong policy--and I think it can be bipartisan--that creates the conditions for the kind of home-grown industry that ensures that we can out-compete China.

Helping U.S. companies strengthen their supply chains to better protect these critical technologies is vital to safeguarding our national security and the health of our economy.

Federal policy should ensure that we gain rather than lose jobs in the auto supply chain.

It seemed like the supply ran out in the blink of an eye, and overnight nobody could get their hands on a package of toilet paper.

This morning I introduced legislation to begin the modernization of America's power infrastructure so that we can deal with these horrendous weather events that we have been seeing around the country.

your grandfather's power lines were fit for your grandfather's weather events, and what we have to have is a modern system of power lines to deal with today's weather events.

There are going to be some costs associated with this, but to me, there are also huge costs if we do nothing.

I think we can't leave rural America behind.

I think when you look at the other side of the coin, you cannot afford not to do this

I rise in opposition. Colleagues, this is what this amendment would do: It would deny premium assistance to many middle-class families, forcing them to pay more for healthcare--the last thing they need in the middle of a pandemic. Now, in…

Section 605 of the State and Local section of the American Rescue Plan requires further explanation on its intent. Below is the salient language of Section 605, Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund: ``(b) Authority to Make…
