“I like what you said about government being too big. That tax cuts bill was good. It will help families. Working families are important. I am glad the government did not shut down. The government should help families. The government should fund programs. Veterans are important. National security is important. I don't want a government shut-down.”
“I like the previous speaker too. I helped him pass a tax bill. Some people criticize our bill. They say it only helps the rich. But I think that is not true. The tax bill has things that help everyone. It helps small businesses. It helps lower income people. I don't like when people criticize our bill. I think they know they are wrong. I yield to another speaker from my state.”
“I like the previous speaker. She cares a lot. She knows about the military and what is going on. That's good. Now the next person can talk.”
“I agree. The Little League game was the best sports event this year. Thank you for talking about it. That team was great. I give my time to someone else now.”
“I want to talk about softball. I am happy other people want to talk too.”
“I want this bill to pass. It helps American mining. American mining is important. It creates jobs and money for our country. In my state, mining is very important. The government makes it hard to open new mines. We need to make it easier. The FAST-41 program was good but the Biden administration changed it. This bill will fix that. We need to support American mining and not rely on other countries. This bill will make the government work better for the people. You should vote for it.”
“I want to honor people who received the Medal of Honor. I like the committee's work on this bill. I want the Senate to pass more House bills. I worked on this bill for a long time. We should recognize these brave people. I worked with my friend on this bill.”
“I went home and talked about debt. I want to highlight some points. Our debt is too high. There is a lot of fraud. I think fraud is bad. Government loses $500 billion to fraud every year. That is $4,000 per household. My wife and I budget. We don't like waste. Families work hard. But fraud steals money from programs. Childcare programs lose money to fraud. I want to stop that. Fake students get financial aid. I want ID verification. There is fraud in many states. Fraud in hospices. Half of them are fraudulent in Los Angeles. 800 have suspended licenses. Most don't try to get their licenses back. I think most were fraudulent. 15 percent of patients in hospice aren't really in hospice. 90 companies at one address is suspicious. I am proud Utah has less fraud. I work on fraud prevention. We need to stop unemployment insurance fraud in New York. We need to root out fraud. Medicare saves $25 for every $1 spent on monitoring. I want more money to go to fraud prevention. We passed a fraud prevention act. Families are careful with their money. Scammers shouldn't get rewarded. Every dollar stolen is a dollar taken from people who need it. We need to close loopholes. We can't reduce the deficit without stopping fraud. I have data on fraud. I hope Americans understand. This is not partisan. We need to solve this crisis. I want to bring fiscal responsibility to Washington. I want a better economic future for children.”
“I want to talk about our national debt. It will be very high in 10 years. Some people are trying to reduce the deficit. I voted against raising the debt ceiling without spending cuts. In President Trump's first year, the deficit was reduced by $360 billion. Some of that was from tariffs. Tariffs can be good if they are consistent and reduce deficits. I want to talk about finding fraud in government agencies. That can also reduce deficits.”
