I do think that it does include inflation and employment.

I am certainly proud to co-sponsor with Chairman Casey Senate Bill 337, the Stop Senior Scams Act.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

There is no doubt about it that during a pandemic the last thing you want to hear about are frauds and scams, especially fraudsters, scammers who focus on our senior population in their golden years.

I'll keep fighting to pass this important bill.

It is vital that we continue to raise awareness of these scams and advocate on behalf of our seniors.

Thank God for your hard work and your dedication on such an important issue.

Being aware and staying vigilant is the best way to protect yourself from frauds and scams.

Now, more than ever, we have got to support one another.

It is really important for us to continue to focus on ways to make sure that our seniors appreciate the fact that the leadership here are servant leaders.

I would say that with your leadership we are not working in a bipartisan fashion; we are just working in an American fashion.

Let us say since the 1st of August, how many Afghan refugees have been denied entrance into the United States?

Do you believe you would be able to send them back to Afghanistan?

We'll now enter into the question and answer part of this hearing for the next 15, 20 minutes, hopefully.

Thank you for being here, Keith.

At the same time there's a generation that is maybe younger than we are that can help feed in energy and vitality into that senior who provided us with wise counsel when we desperately needed it.

Prevention is a powerful tool, and it's very cost effective.

As we age gracefully. Will you talk a little bit about purpose as we transition to the left there.

Too often when the economy gets tight and inflation goes up, our seniors are trying to figure out what they can ration.

It sounds like the ounce of prevention and the pound of cure.

As a member of the senate, I hate compound questions. I really do. I'm going to ask one anyway.

One of the things I love about your presence and your focus is you are helping others find their own vision at times.

Social engagement and companionship, it's a matter of life or death for them.

I look forward to your answer for drum ball next.

The importance of purpose cannot be denied, and resiliency and purpose seem to be first cousins or synonyms, so to speak.
