I believe that we have the economic power to stop Iran's quest for nuclear weapons.

It is an honor to be there. I bring greetings from our colleagues in Tallahassee who continue to hold you in high regard both for the leadership you provided in Florida in the State senate and the leadership you continue to provide in…

I want to deal with the arguments against doing something, versus not doing anything at all.

The Cold War has been over, Mr. Chairman, for almost 20 years. It is time these weapons programs are ended.

I can no longer sit back and watch our constituents be exploited by failed banks dangling desperately needed access to credit.

The President himself said during his address to Congress that we need to, and I quote him, reform our Defense budget so that we are not paying for Cold War-era weapons systems that we don't use, unquote.

I think it will be a big part of healthcare reform.

I care much more about the well-being of Floridians than I do about the well-being of Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds.

The Iraq War has cost America at least $1.5 trillion in tax dollars, and for that money that we have doled out to pay for the war, we could have provided health care coverage to every American who doesn't have it.

I remain gravely concerned about taxes in the President's budget, and in fact, I remain concerned about our overall tax policy.

Bad banks must be held accountable for their incompetence or we will all go broke.

The initial invasion of Iraq made no sense, and with the current financial problems we are facing it makes even less sense.

I ask that the Committee designate sufficient funding for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to move forward with manned space flight programs.

I'm pleased that the goal of returning humans to the Moon by 2020 is a key feature.

Simply put, once they leave NASA, they won't return.

Please consider funding this critical national program at the levels that allow them to achieve their worthwhile goals.

Too few resources, and the viability of this multi-mission agency may be jeopardized.

I think fundamentally we all agree that the whole crisis was caused by greed, pure and simple, and there is more than enough blame to go around.
