South Carolina has greatly benefited from the resurgence of manufacturing exports and foreign direct investment.
I believe that your ZIP Code should not determine the quality of your education.
We talked about the importance of bringing more resources into distressed communities.
One of the things that I had in mind when I designed the opportunity zoning legislation was finding a way to bring more resources into distressed communities.
Special credit to the Opportunity Zones championed by Senator Scott, and included in your tax cut and job legislation.
The reality is that a patchwork quilt of 50 different breach notification standards creates a race to the bottom.
The bottom line is that the world has changed so significantly since GLBA was enforced.
Things get complicated when a company is headquartered in Tennessee, does business in South Carolina, and is breached in Arkansas.
It does remind me of Secretary Azar's EKG that was mentioned earlier, $3,500 in the hospital versus $550 out of the hospital.

The question as it relates to tariffs and its impact on U.S. autoworkers is a question that is very important to South Carolina.
When you study the figures, one of the things that I think manifests fairly quickly is the bottom two quintiles is where you see the greatest exposure and the damage from the payday lending cycle, the cycle that never ends.
The long term care aspect of retirement is one of the major concerns of any one in Middle America
I hope that we do not forget that while the Government can play a significant role in helping to educate the public, the reality of it is that there are a lot of private sector tools that are already available.
