Mike Enzi

Thank you very much.

I would like to know a little bit more about the current culture at the Internal Revenue Service that a lot of my constituents view as wasting taxpayers' money.

One of the reason that it included some things that you would prefer not to have in it is that when the Federal Register is published and says that there is going to be this huge cost of people losing their insurance even though the…

Thank you, Madam Chairman, for holding this timely roundtable to have a real discussion about what the Small Business Administration is currently doing to assist those who have so admirably served their country to make their…

While unemployment numbers for veterans remain unacceptably high, it is especially important that we look at the SBA programs and see how we can most efficiently and effectively encourage and assist current military personnel and veterans…

What is the administration doing to help the millions of people who will suffer as a result of the President's broken promise?

Sounds similar to what the President has promised with health care.

I am working on a bill with Senator Ron Johnson and 36 others that would allow Americans to keep their health care if they like it.

Well, as millions of Americans are, unfortunately, finding out, that just is not the case.

My hope is that even my Democratic colleagues are seeing the light.

I offered a proposal 3 years ago to give people the honest choice to keep their plans, but every one of the majority party in the Senate voted against it.

I don't think people care where it's stored.

It's my understanding that there was testing still going on the day before the Web site opened.

I'm from a low population State. We're pretty much rural, and we do recognize that the problems with the Web site are probably just the tip of the iceberg.

That was voted down on straight party lines. I think some people will probably be paying for that in the next election.

How much security testing was done as part of the beta testing?

Fortunately, 3 years ago, I noticed that the rules were changing and that people would not be able to keep what they had been promised.

I also serve on the Finance Committee, and in the Finance Committee, CMS testified on doing the testing on this Web site.

I think this is the 11th time I have been through this discussion about 'the sky is falling.'

Wyoming families are not buying these arguments. They are saying you cannot spend more than you take in, and you definitely cannot keep doing it forever.

I have said before, and I think it is even truer today, that we need to spend more time listening to the thoughts and ideas of our constituents rather than presuming that we, here in Washington, have all the answers.

Screening every new baby for these serious health conditions--many of which would be otherwise undetectable for months or even years--is an important public health priority for States and the Federal Government.

We must ensure that every baby has access to these life-saving tests.

We must continue to support medical and scientific innovation along with basic research if there is to be hope that we can further improve the lives of babies and children afflicted with these conditions.

I ask permission to ask another question through the Chair, with the Senator being allowed to keep the floor.
