I'm a parent.
If we are taking money away from infrastructure and we are putting our families, our children, and our spouses at risk...
We know that bridges are rated at a C and our roads are rated at a D in their condition.
We have to compete like that around the world. Gone are the days where we can put up the walls and say, well, we are just going to do busine...
We have needed more money, not less money for our infrastructure.
I find it almost a demeaning, demoralizing comment when people make that statement that these are just temporary jobs.
I am just one of two engineers in Congress and I concur that there is global warming and there is climate change.
What premium assistance does for children under a Medicaid expansion program, I know not.
So individuals could not opt out?
I do not understand why that allowance was made, why that waiver was given.
Thank you very much, Ms. Tavenner, for your presence. I look forward to voting for you.
I worry also particularly about the level of health care, the quality of health care, for children under such a program.
A rulemaking should be made in terms of the best interests of the Affordable Care Act.
I am of the belief that the ACA is probably the most complex piece of legislation ever passed by the U.S. Congress.
I want to ask a couple of things, really quickly.
If it is not done right the first time, it will simply get worse.
I get a lot of answers like that, that we are looking at it, when I thought something had been done.
I do not mind paying more taxes. I do not want you to waste my money.
