This is simply unacceptable.

This increase combined with the fact that I've gone almost three years without a pay increase... has us reeling!

I intend to introduce the MOVEMENT Act to assist in that effort.

We should acknowledge that a cap-and-trade program is going to cause transitional issues in our economy and for individuals.

I think it is something we have to deal with in Congress.

I don't think that is responsible budgeting, to go ahead and assume that this type of program is going to exist in that form with that level of revenue.

None of us are really happy with the price we pay for prescription drugs here in the United States of America.

I do not think our budget should already make an assumption about how that debate is going to turn out.

I am pleased to see that President Obama will champion increases in spending for healthcare, education, and expanded benefits for our veterans, the elderly and our children.

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

For the money we have doled out to pay for the war, we could have provided: Health care coverage to every American without it.

I want to thank the Budget Committee for your hard work.

I would like to ask you on the Committee's behalf today, as we go through 2010 and you begin to bring in Priority 8s, will you regularly make us aware of how many Priority 8s have come into the system?

I believe you on that, and I believe that that is the mission of VA.

I commend them for their hard work on behalf of our veterans.
