Tim Scott

Like so many other South Carolinians, I will never forget the 1,000-year flood in 2015.

I introduced bipartisan legislation with Senator Schatz, the Repeatedly Flooded Communities Preparation Act.

Older Americans and people with disabilities are more vulnerable to natural disasters, and we must do everything we can to protect them.

We must do everything we can to support and empower local communities in their most vulnerable times, especially for their most vulnerable citizens.

I should be clear. I am so used to saying 'heirs' property' as if everybody listening to us knows what heirs' property really is.

In August, Senator Ossoff and I sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, urging FEMA to review and revise its practices.

The importance of this issue, and if you think about $92 billion in 2015 over a decade, that is close to $1 trillion lost out of American's retirement accounts.

Every American should be able to work hard, save for retirement, and enjoy their golden years with peace of mind.

I, too, sponsored the SECURE Act, which included pooled employer plans to help small businesses launch retirement plans.

I want to make sure that we continue to emphasize the importance of focusing on retirement security for our seniors and, frankly, for those in their 40's and 50's.

I cannot think of a better way to show the American people that we care about them more than we do of ourselves by working on their behalf and not having a political partisan conversation just because there is a microphone and a camera…

That is why today I introduced the Senior Citizens Freedom to Work Act of 2021 to remove the RET and simplify the decisionmaking process for seniors.

I have really appreciated the IGs, because I believe the oversight function of this Committee and Congress is really important.

What this threshold of $600 or $10,000 does, it captures all the information, all the transactions of everyday Americans, not the rich ones but the ones working paycheck to paycheck.

What the President seeks to do is level the playing field so that wealthy individuals are forced to pay taxes in the same way that working-class people do every day in this country.

I have got to tell you that this proposal is not in the same universe of accomplishing that goal.

Senator Tim Scott is basically responsible for this. He was for police reform before George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Rayshard Brooks and Ahmaud Arbery, introducing a police accountability bill following the 2015 shooting of Walter…

I think the intelligence community frankly got it right here.

We should not be granting recognition.

I share Senator Tillis' comments, and I think probably the Committee, that the Taliban has not changed.

The Taliban is failing on all of these fronts. They are a brutal, murderous, terrorist group intertwined with al Qaeda.

Bestowing international legitimacy on the Taliban and allowing them access to $7.5 billion dollars at the New York Fed would be a grave mistake.

It is unbelievable to me that a group of American civilians had to save this woman's life because her own Government abandoned her.

I think about the fact that gas prices are up over 40 percent as a Nation...

I do think that it does include inflation and employment.
