Google already possesses unprecedented power to steer users and to stifle competition.

It seems to me that--I don't know whether you call this a separate algorithm or whether you have reverse-engineered one algorithm, but either way you've cooked it so that you're always 3rd.

I am troubled by some of Google's practices, its practice of inserting its own offerings, in the midst of natural algorithmic search results, usually in the most prominent position of the page and with the most eye-catching display.

this same practice that I described presents a clear and inherent conflict of interest.

As a conservative Republican who favors free markets, I believe that ensuring robust competition in this critical area of our Nation's economy will benefit consumers, it will spur innovation, and it will lead to job creation.

The American people deserve more facts about how their taxpayer dollars were wasted and how you, as the nominees, will work to ensure it doesn't happen again.

We don't know yet what role, exact role, the White House played in rushing reviewers to approve a decision on a centerpiece--really the centerpiece--of President Obama's so-called stimulus program.

I agree it was a perfect storm, but I don't think we should be blaming China or the markets or a previous Administration.

These people should be fired and sent home.

The waste, fraud and abuse that is happening in the theater of war is unacceptably high.

Our kindness and our generosity is being abused in this case. And it needs to stop.

I don't think it is enough. We have to get a better handle on this, and I think it needs to be a tighter rein and a greater concern for the theft, the theft of billions of dollars of American taxpayer money.

Wilderness is attainable, but it is also to be considered with other factors in the use of the land in mind.

Now once more, importantly, it is significant that legislative functions should reside with the Legislature, not the Executive Branch.

America is in the midst of a recession with elevated unemployment, yet the Obama Administration continues to push a 'wilderness agenda' that competes with our national priorities of job creation and domestic energy independence.

Ultimately the goal of this bill is to protect jobs.

That is why it is essential that the bills we are discussing today pass and the Congress be given the ultimate say on which areas will become national monuments.

A lot of decisions that affect our daily lives are made by faceless bureaucrats who are thousands of miles away.
