I have consistently expressed my concerns about how this policy will be detrimental to our economic recovery.

we must make sure that we are making good--or being good stewards of taxpayer dollars and not repeating the mistakes of the past.

we need to make sure that these funds are getting to the folks that need it the most.

If someone learns a skill they are on their way to eventually translating their abilities into starting their own small business.

At the end of the day, risk and reward is the American dream.

Attending a trade school and learning a skill can be just as valuable as going to a traditional four year college.

I am very concerned that there is going to be a Federal overreaction to this whole GameStop saga.

Unfortunately, many Americans believe that the system will always be rigged against them and they have no way to compete against the big players.

the greatest, biggest deal in coming back for our economy is to get everybody out of the lockdown, get everybody vaccinated, and off and running.

You might be trying to help the borrower, but in effect you are hurting both the lender and the borrower.

You are forcing them to fly blind.

Federal intervention should not be the automatic answer, even in times of crisis.

We should be focusing our attention on these policies that have a proven record of success.

PPP was designed to help small businesses during COVID-19 and keep employees on payroll.

It is irresponsible for Congress to continue expanding PPP unless it targets specific industries that have been hit hardest by the COVID restrictions.

We have millions of children dropping out of school in the ninth grade across the country, and, frankly, in my State of Texas, and they are losing hope and they shouldn't.

Competition, innovation, and free markets are the keys to building net worth and ending the racial-wealth disparities in this country.

PPP was intended to be a lifeline for small businesses, not an avenue to force burdensome tax liabilities and operational challenges on Main Street America.

I completely agree with you on that, that we need to be instilling these values in our children so they can grow up knowing they can be successful in America, regardless of the circumstances they were born into.

individual States forcing businesses to remain closed.

You mentioned that there could be 6 percent growth... by the end of the year.

we need to get that, and I think we agree on that.

Congress is the body that must debate and act on these ancillary issues, not the Federal Reserve.

A financial transaction tax would make it more expensive for small retail investors to trade, and so much for looking out for Main Street.

When this legislation turns away from the bipartisan nature of the previous COVID-19 bills that have come through Congress, this is purely partisan.
