The ACA directly imposes higher taxes on labor income, thus, discouraging work.

The last Nuclear Posture Review published 8 years ago said, quote: 'Russia is not an enemy and is increasingly a partner,' close quote.

Repealing the ACA would increase the supply of labor.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I appreciate all of the work that she does on behalf of our Nation's military men and women. Mr. Speaker, here we are again. Once again, this House will vote to fully fund our Nation's military and…

I rise today to pay tribute to a former staff member of mine, William D. Duhnke III, who dedicated over 20 years of his life's work to the Senate. Prior to his time on Capitol Hill, Bill Duhnke served in the U.S. Navy as a naval officer…

The FBI is not immune to oversight and they absolutely should be held to account -- if they did those things.

I don't think any committee -- any member of that committee should have voted on that until they all read the underlying intelligence information based on the memo.

If there are allegations that the FBI perjured themselves in an affidavit to a judge for a FISA court, both Republicans and Democrats should be upset about that.

With this funding bill, we can move back toward a position of peace through strength, and we can keep American families safe. Mr. Speaker, I urge the adoption of the rule and the underlying legislation. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield…

But should not the infrastructure bill, from the standpoint of our future economy, the infrastructure in this country is so important to move goods, people, services, and be one of our top priorities?

We keep talking about infrastructure. How are we going to come up--how is the Trump administration? I think a lot of Democrats and Republicans both know that we need an infrastructure bill.

today I wish to honor the legacy and heroic service of Mr. Earl Smith. An Alabama native and unsung American hero, Smith's willingness to put himself in harm's way saved an untold number of lives. More than 50 years ago, as a young officer…

my point, Mr. Chairman, is that since you are now the Chairman of the Budget Committee, we have some serious work to do if we want to get our fiscal house in order.

What should we do first? Should we worry about the financial system? Sure. Should we worry about our electrical grid? Sure. But we also have to worry, first of all, about national security and the implications of penetrating through…

Thank you for your service. Also, I would be remiss if I did not thank you for your leadership and your steady hand in dealing with the tax reform measure.

How do you think the economy will continue to grow? I like what I see out there. We feel it. People have got confidence. Do you feel like it is going to continue to move forward?

I think that is, again, part of the work that we have got to do in the Budget Committee in regard to making sure that the able-bodied are in the workforce.

I want to get away from the partisan jabs and get to issues that I think all of us ought to take very seriously.
