On the recordNovember 15, 2017
Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Senator Sullivan from Alaska. Once again, he comes in from the class of 2014. We have a specific request to basically talk about what we see as being the appropriate way in which we create a healthy economy. I see that our colleague from Iowa has arrived, and if our colleague from Iowa, Senator Ernst, would care to speak, we would love to have her do that as well. Part of what Senator Sullivan has shared with us today is the move to get back to a growth of 3 percent, and in doing so, not only does that begin to move back into what most Americans would consider to be a healthy economy in which they can actually see their own families doing better, but we will also see better movement in terms of shortfalls in revenues coming into the Federal Government. With that, let me welcome to the floor Senator Ernst of Iowa, who also is a Member of the class of 2014. Senator Ernst. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.
