Members support to get this done and we get it done quickly. Thank you so much, mr. President. And i yield the floor and note the absence of a quorum. Thank you, mr. President. Ive just returned from being in tennessee this weekend and lots of phone calls, seeing a lot of people out and about, and i will tell you this covid19 has changed a lot about how we go about our daily lives, but it has not changed the way Congress Works out its differences and were still arguing about spending and debt. Were still debating the importance of federalism and how the constitution can help us determine what we can and should do on a federal level to help our communities back at home. Now, in tennessee, our cities all across the state from one corner to another, theyre getting back to that daily routine. Many of those businesses were able to improvise their way through the early weeks of lockdowns and now theyre finding what theyre calling their new normal, their new processes. Some of them received emergency loans from the sba. Others became one of the more than 80,000 Small Businesses and selfemployed workers who were able to take advantage of the paycheck protection program, but no matter how hard they work or how smart their pans are, we know that in the end, were going to lose a lot of our favorite neighborhood stops. Its tough. It is really tough out there. Some of those businesses are already gone. And that is going to happen in spite of the unprecedented investment that the federal government working with our state and local governments, has made into our business and our health care sectors. Making certain people are able to stay afloat and bridging, from that rescue to a business restart. And bridging on to recovery. Well, as we saw this week, the more washington spends, the more washingtons focus drifts away from emergency measure and that rescue and it doesnt go to a restart or a recovery. What does it do . It goes to how can we use this crisis to grow government. How can we use this crisis to take away a little bit more of your freedom . Last week, House Democrats passed a 3 trillion spending package that they used as a vehicle for a lot of their pet projects. Weve all heard about it, bailouts, unsustainable environmental mandates, fundamental changes to tax policy, all of these line items that have no business being slapped on the coattails of a bill that was sold as being a safety net for panicked americans. You will be relieved to know that that bill will never see the light of day here in the senate. But you know, it might not be a bad idea just to put it on the floor and see if our friends across the aisle want to vote for it. 3 trillion, 3 trillion. It is disrespectful of people that are hurting. It is disrespectful of Small Businesses that they have become a bargaining chip for the democratic leftleaning socialist wish list. Thats what they think of you. When you walk down main street and you see shuttered businesses, i want you to remember that. That is what they think of you. They can use you to get what they want. In fact, i will say this, weve been pretty busy focusing on bipartisan efforts that will help in the shortterm and will help with a postpandemic future. Something that will really bring relief and clarity to the american people. Not things like a liberal wish list. Now, here is one ive heard a lot about, especially this weekend. For all the moms and dads that are out there, that are wondering about how safe their childs image and their childs data is in the virtual classroom. Well, this is something that ive had lots of questions about, also. How do you protect your virtual you, and last week i led a Bipartisan Group of my colleagues and asked the ftc to do a deep dive into how the Tech Industry collects and stores your childs data. And to use that information to make childrens Online Privacy protection stronger. Lets make certain you can protect them in the virtual space the same as you can in the physical space. My bipartisan bill which senator menendez and i have introduced, would offer incentives to American Pharmaceutical Companies to bring those operations back home. Lets make that in america. This would create thousands of jobs, and it would help secure our pharmaceutical supply chain. Were focusing on these things because recovery is going to require more than a blank check. If we want to be successful, we have to learn to recognize the practical damage this disease has inflicted on our economy. And then do something to address the many root causes of it, every day we witness local, state and federal government officials struggling to balance the provision of community health, with the need of a struggling economy. Often regulatory constraints prevents them from implementing the more agile policies so desperately needed by local businesses and service providers. Last week i, and a number of my colleagues, asked majority leader mcconnell and minority leader schumer to include statutory changes in the next round of relief legislation, that would reduce the red tape, the paper work. And the other requirements that could and will inevitably get in the way of economic recovery. If we take a hard look at these regulations and strip away those that serve no real purpose, we will save businesses an estimated, get this, 1. 9 trillion, promote competition and encourage investment, thats 1. 9 trillion dollars. Thats what the regulatory state causes costs american businesses. To survive the pandemic, each and every one of us is going to have to reexamine our approach. We need to ask ourselves what is the purpose of all the regulations . Do they help . Do they hurt . If we didnt need it in covid19, why do we need it now . What is the actual cost to business, to community, to local government of this regulation . As companies go through the restart, is this something that is going to speed the process or is it something that is going to slow the process or is it something that is going to be so cost prohibitive that that Small BusinessManufacturing Company will just throw their hands up and say, i give up, i give up. That is not what we want. That is not recovery. That is not optimism. That would be defeat. I encourage us all to join in
