Thank you, Madam Chair.

Yes. So, very interesting this is classic Washington math.

Yes. It seemed odd and out of place in that moment.

If the economy starts to get healthy again, then you have more people paying taxes and it goes up.

It's not a matter of their taxes actually going up, it's a matter if they didn't actually take in the subsidies and so they count that in the strange way as actually removing taxes.

Well, again, we go back to the same thing with the Washington math.

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be recognized as in morning business for such time as I shall consume. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Mr. President, this week, after 3 years of planning and construction, we now will be dedicating tomorrow and officially opening the Museum of the Bible. This is led by Steve Green of Hobby Lobby. We all remember Hobby Lobby of Oklahoma…

Mr. President, our economy has been stuck between 1.4- and 1.9-percent growth over the last 10 years. Compare that to the 10- year cycles before that, over and over again, all the way back to the Great Depression. Every group in a 10-year…

You have pretty strong agreement among Republicans that we don't like the individual mandate. And the reason is it's a tax cut directly on people who can afford it to least.

I have never seen a time when someone in the jurisdiction of a Committee refused to testify.

They are there lining up to see who can get the most money out of the system.

One of the great things this President has done is all the CRAs, Congressional Review Acts, and I am proud that mine was the first one that had a signing ceremony.

China, right now, every 10 days comes out with a new coal fired energy plant.

So, I just want to observe, Mr. Eisenberg, all the things that are happening right now.

If there was ever a joke, that is it.

The EPA's language makes it possible for them to do so, don't you think?

They are all small. We don't have the giants; they are small businesses, family owned businesses, the kind we really encourage.
