Just within the past hour, Governor Mitch Daniels came and addressed the Congressional Health Care Caucus. He gave us some particular insights as to what's been happening in his State of Indiana with regards to health care costs. But, in…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Let's talk just a little bit about fires and who set them and when they were set. I rise today to talk about the so-called doc fix that is contained within the bill. But first I think a little history is…

That money in the health care bill that was cut from Medicare should have dealt with the doctor fees first, and anything else left over should have gone to pay for the other programs that they wanted to buy. Quoting from Ms. Moon: ``They…

Let me thank the gentlelady and acknowledge that I am from Texas. And in addition to the good news, and we are still working to improve the conditions of Texans, this bill will be a cause celebre in the State of Texas. We know, overall…

This has been a whirlwind of a week, and I believe it is more than appropriate to summarize for the American people the real work that has been done, the triumphs, the challenges, but also the admitted courage of those who recognize that…

A colleague on the floor just used the terminology ``confiscated,'' and I certainly want to respect her use of a word in the dictionary. Yet I would say to men and women of the United States military, to whom we are providing funding from…

I lived through the era of the Bush administration that had no summer jobs, no concern about our young people, and I tell you it was a crying shame. The doctor fix: my doctors in Houston, the Texas Medical Center, those who work very hard…

I serve as the number two Republican on the House Budget Committee. But as a member of the House Budget Committee, I am a little bit like the Maytag repairman. We are the loneliest people in town. We have nothing to do, because, Mr…

Sadly, this isn't a jobs bill. This is pork barrel spending wrapped in tax increases and dipped in debt to China, and the way it treats our local doctors, like beggars, is just shameful. Continuing to tax and spend like we are Greece is…

Memorial Day is the day we remember Americans that served and did not return. Their blood has stained and sanctified the soil of every continent on Earth. They are buried in unmarked graves in far-off fields, mountains, deserts, and…

It has been quite a week. We've heard friends across the aisle get up and talk about how we've ``expanded civil rights in the military.'' And I appreciate the fact that friends believe they did a wonderfully noble thing for the military…

Mr. President, we had a number of votes this week, including one last night in the Armed Services Committee concerning whether to utilize the National Guard to confront the raging illegality that is occurring particularly in the Tucson…

I appreciate the gentleman's yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

I appreciate the gentleman. I think the overwhelming context I had was that the jobs that are being created are in government.

I thank the gentleman for asking. You know, I had seen a report, and we received information up in the Rules Committee that there would be an expectation of 500,000 census jobs across the country.

Reclaiming my time, the White House has stonewalled, as the gentlelady has pointed out. But it has been also intriguing to me that you have a former admiral in the United States Navy who brought this up, and he has refused to give full…

I'm concerned, my friend keeps using the term ``terrorist,'' and I'm worried that she may not realize that that might offend somebody that wants to kill her.

Well, as long as you don't say that somebody lied, then we're okay. But I know that there are people who are concerned that if we are just nice enough to those folks who want to kill us and destroy our way of life, that they'll come around…
