U.S. State Attorneys General

The troubling aspect of this is that trying to find that balance in giving the information to those who need it

Absolutely, Mr. Chairman. Absolutely. And that is on the record.

Americans are demanding bold and real change from Washington, and I believe my proposal meets that test.

My top priority in Congress is to encourage private sector job creation, especially through finding ways that the government can live within its means.

Thank you for the work. Convey that message to all the folks back home.

I hope we don't leave the impression that we don't think you are working hard.

But Mr. Chairman, we always are looking for ways to collect any overpayments.

It means getting back every penny in Social Security overpayments.

It sure would be nice, though, to see more consistency in Congress's commitment to payment accuracy.

The increased funding for program integrity within the SSA... is a very good step in that direction.

We owe it to American workers to safeguard their contributions to the Social Security trust fund.

By direction of the Democratic Caucus, I offer a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 486 Resolved, That the following named Member be and is hereby elected to…

As Members of Congress, we have a public duty, and our responsibility is to pursue the public interest.

But they are reliable, and they are part of why America's families in the middle class grew so strong.

It is vital. It provides irreplaceable economic security to those who have paid in but are no longer able to work through no fault of their own.

We must live and breathe believing that failure is not an option.

And I think all of us applaud a small business man or woman who figures out a way not only to make a profit, but at the same time to offer decent affordable health care to their employees.

This, at the end, is a bridge. This tax credit is a bridge to get us to the point in 2014 when we have the full implementation of the historic health care reform.

But at the end of the day, what we are talking about is trying to figure out how to make a tax credit that is going to small businesses who offer health care to the employees work.

Revitalizing public housing is an important topic for this committee to address, especially when the poverty rate continues to rise.

Unable to pass its immigration agenda through legislation, the Administration is now implementing it through agency policy and bypassing Congress.

It seems to me that a lot of what we see in terms of state legislation... is simply the states' reaction to what they see as the Federal Government's failure to do its job on the border.

Let me make sure we are clear on what we are talking about with regard to currency manipulation.

In this bill once a community of interest group of employees is identified...an employer who seeks to expand the bargaining unit...organizers would have to get more and more signatures in order to proceed with an election.
