There have been no significant changes in TANF since 2005.

I understand poverty. I understand, and I love the word 'dignity,' because it is so important with what we are doing.

It is our duty to help Americans in poverty to move out of it.

This is a huge cost to Medicare right now so I hope we can make an increase in its investment.

I am a strong supporter of the KidneyX Program, which is speeding up the development of new treatments.

Can you please explain to me why this Administration intends to keep the CMS vaccine mandate in effect until November of 2024, especially when we know this policy is contributing to the workforce shortage?

This funding increase is important, a small and yet very, very important investment.

So given the success of KidneyX in its first three years and the President's commitment to preserve Medicare for the next generation, why is the Administration not doing more to prioritize this program?

This shortage is particularly concerning in rural communities where hospitals are closing at higher rates than anywhere else in the country.

One of my biggest concerns about the United States health care is the current workforce shortage that we are all facing around the country.

Can you commit to the committee that the next round of distribution will better prioritize rural areas?

One policy which contributed to the shrinking health care workforce was a vaccine mandate for the health care workers, which was put in place by the Biden Administration.

We need to run faster than China in this region and ensure that American workers can compete globally.

I have been disappointed with the Biden administration's lack of progress, of course, on restrengthening our position in the global trade economy.

I really think that the words that we really should hear is that I am sorry.

I have spent the better part of two years trying to fix the mess that the Democrats created with this provision.

The Democrats in Congress have consistently used the Tax Code to discriminate against American energy producers.

I feel that policymakers don't always respect or truly understand what job creators, business people go through.

Well, you know, President Biden, when he decided to release millions of gallons of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed attempt to artificially lower our prices...

I represent Naval Station Great Lakes, so every recruit going into the Navy comes through my district.

Our bill codifies and expands the successful Boots to Business program offered by the Small Business Administration.

I am really excited for the opportunity today to be able to highlight some of the stories of hardworking West Virginians and the unnecessary struggles that they face because of an overreaching Federal Government.

The coal industry has been under heavy scrutiny by Washington and usually by people who are really ignorant of the importance and the history of the product that you produce.

West Virginia faces so many challenges, and this is due to the constant attacks on our energy industry from unelected bureaucrats and uninformed lawmakers, which have caused untold damage to all of our communities in southern West Virginia…

It is long overdue for our Nation to hear from real West Virginians on the impact of Washington's poor decisions on their lives, businesses, and communities.
