The tax cuts we had in 2016 really worked, enabled people to take risks and get rewarded.

When we talk about these tax increases, it is detrimental to small businesses that are wanting to get started again, that tax cuts really put more money in the hands of these small business owners

I mean, here we are paying people to sit on the couch, paying people not to work.

If we want to help small businesses recover, we cannot--I repeat--cannot be increasing taxes.

The Biden administration has proposed tax hikes to pay for the American Families Plan, to advance the left's climate and social agenda, which will ultimately be financed on the backs of small business.

We must work together to bring back the pro-growth environment that the Nation experienced prior to COVID-19.

This administration is putting up roadblocks and hurdles and making small business owners very defensive.

The Biden administration is threatening the Nation's best job creators with tax increases.

Thankfully, Congress worked with former President Trump to enact and activate a number of critically important small business relief programs, including the quick-moving Paycheck Protection Program.

Today's hearing is of the utmost importance as we are going to be exploring the Nation's rural small businesses, how they have fared under COVID-19, and what they face moving forward.

I think that is a ridiculous solution to a problem.

We are in a period right now where the approval and trust of government is at an all-time low.

In the end, the private sector will get it done better. The government will pick winners and losers.

Not only will you force consumers to hand over all their data to the Federal Government, but it will also remove all incentives for the private sector to innovate.

This belief that the Federal Government can somehow run a credit reporting agency more effectively and efficiently than the private sector is garbage.

If you think that is a good solution, look at the Veterans Administration right now and how well they service our veterans with the backlog that they have.

Adding another entity of government with even more control over their lives would be counterproductive, in my opinion, and in the opinion of many Americans.

The problem is I think this is based on the false assumption that the government would do a better job of handling consumer data and credit reports than the private sector does.

One of the most sacred American values is the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The right to life is not to be forsaken, and today we see Democrats reject the science of life and the fact that life begins at conception…

I think we need to focus on providing real hard information about how much this is going to cost and when are small businesses going to need it.

I would like to see the final DFARS clause for CMMC prohibit prime contractors from flowing down a higher level than is absolutely necessary based on the information that is being provided to the subcontractor.

Successful entrepreneurs will recognize needs in their daily lives and work towards bringing solutions to the marketplace.

4 years ago yesterday, Republicans were tragically attacked by a liberal gunman with an agenda to shoot and kill Republican Members of Congress. That day, United States Capitol Police Officers Griner and Bailey, along with Alexandria…

I will tell you from Louisiana's standpoint, and I don't think it is any different from many other places, but certainly Louisiana we know now that broadband is a way of life. It is not a luxury. It is not something you have as a one off…

If we want to provide internet to these communities, we need to look for ways the Federal Government can better utilize the public-private partnerships.
