Yeah. And the fact is, and it seems like he's embraced, he's figured out who those job creators are. I mean, our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, they'll be the first to, and I'm sure when we get into, more into this debate…

They do that in forecasting, and they build their business plans and their business models.

I appreciate that. For my whole life as a young boy, I grew up in a family-owned sporting goods business. It wasn't a very big operation. It really was my mom and dad, a brother and a sister. The store was open 7 days a week and for…

I felt like I was getting up in the middle of night back then. In the hunting season, there was ammunition and supplies. In the fishing season, it was bait and minnows; but it was a wonderful way to grow up and to be able to see and to…

Yes, absolutely. This is our 151st anniversary. But I was talking with an individual whose family actually had roots maybe going back 151 years. I was talking with this gentleman, and he has a family business. His family has been in this…

I like to call it what it is: it's a death tax. And we know that today, as a result of these tax cuts, the schedule that was set up almost 10 years ago, for someone that passes away in 2010, the death tax is zero percent.

In 2008, the President and the House of Representatives lifted the 24-year-old moratorium on offshore oil and gas production on most of our Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Back in March, President Obama pushed for offshore oil drilling in the…

I thank the gentleman, and I want to thank Mr. Lewis for his service, too. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition. Everyone should know that in this continuing resolution there is the expansion of Indian gambling. There is the expansion…

I want to thank my good friend and distinguished colleague Congressman Chris Smith of New Jersey for introducing this important resolution which congratulates Chinese democracy advocate Liu Xiaobo on the award. Congressman Smith--and I…

The countries of Kazakhstan, Morocco, Egypt, and Iraq are boycotting. That's shameful. It's my hope that, as the resolution says, the Government of China will release him from prison and the President, when the President of China comes…

Thank you, Congressman Smith, for your leadership on this issue. Madam Speaker, here is a picture of Liu Xiaobo, a modern-day human rights hero who is suffering and languishing in prison as we speak. This resolution celebrates the fact…
