I wasn't sure what his time was. I am chair of the Small Business Committee. I have many hearings, but I had one in the last 3 months and some of the testimony was startling to me. I wanted to share this with the Senator. It is in the 2000…

Every person in uniform is only getting a COLA this year of 1.4 percent. Did anybody over there not think about this when they raised their hand to say let's give it to millionaires? Those in the military most certainly deserve a bonus…

Mr. President, I come to the floor to strongly urge my colleagues, Democrats and Republicans, to oppose cloture on the so- called DREAM Act. That will be one of our votes in a few minutes. All these votes are important. That is the most…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak for up to 3 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

I thank my colleague for the time and for his leadership on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Seniors Protection Act. Since 1975, seniors have depended on a cost-of-living adjustment to meet their rising expenses…

Well, I thank the gentleman, Dr. Gingrey, and, of course, Dr. Paulx Broun, my other colleague who is here tonight, both gentlemen from Georgia. I want to thank you both and state my appreciation for your leadership and for holding these…

Thank you. I appreciate you throwing number four to me, because that's the one that I think gets my gall the most, quite frankly. Mr. Speaker, you realize that in ObamaCare half a trillion dollars is taken from Medicare. And this is not…

I thank the gentleman. But even before we get to those cuts, it's already steeply increasing the premiums of average, everyday citizens. There is no way that you can cover an additional 32 million Americans--I mean, this is an empirical…

I thank the gentleman. Yes, indeed, the bottom line, what we are saying here is that we can achieve all of these laudable goals without the complex bureaucracy of ObamaCare. We can expand health care to many more millions of people without…

I did want to enter in a couple of ideas before we move right into that. You know, Mr. Speaker, the other side of the aisle oftentimes says to us: well, now, you Republicans, you want to repeal ObamaCare. You mean to say you want to stop…

Will the majority leader yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Will the majority leader yield?

Mr. President, I was going to ask the minority leader, Mitch McConnell, who just insulted many of us by saying we don't care about small business or the economy, and as the chair of the Small Business Committee, I was going to ask him…

I guess that is a no. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana. ____________________

I am sorry. Will the minority leader yield for a question? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Republican leader?

Mr. President, may I ask consent of the first Member on that list to speak for 30 seconds? Thank you. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

Madam President, I was truly disappointed to learn that Senator Reid intends to bring up a new version of the sweeping amnesty proposal, known as the DREAM Act. Disguised as an educational initiative, the DREAM Act will provide a powerful…

On November 2, Americans sent a message to Washington that we are sick and tired of the out-of-control spending and bigger government that has existed over the last 2 years. While the lame duck Congress has unfinished business to complete…

I thank the gentleman again for yielding. The chart that you just showed really lays out in a very good graphical form what really does happen when you cut taxes, and unfortunately you don't hear this on the mainstream media. It's…
