Representative Ryan, what a great coalescing going on in Ohio, and what a statement by the middle class, of people of all backgrounds coming together speaking with one voice, based on a common thread of jobs, the dignity of work, powerful…

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Representative Sewell, absolutely right on in your focus as to the strengthening and the value added of small business. H.R. 1730 is a powerful response to the needs of small business, making certain that…

As we approach the impending Veterans Day next week, I think it's important that we pause for a moment as a country and reflect on the contributions that these veterans have done, veterans who served us since the early part of last…

The manager's amendment agreed to in the committee will empower the SEC with additional safeguards to make crowdfunding safer for investors. It was literally a joint Democratic and Republican amendment, and I am very glad we were able to…

Last Christmas the gift that we gave to the unemployed was the shock of their lives, as they thought that the Congress would not extend the unemployment compensation. So this morning, I'm joining with Congressmen Stark, Doggett, Levin, and…

I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his outstanding work on this bill and so many others. I, first of all, want to thank Ranking Member Waters and Ranking Member Frank for their hard work on this bill, and to commend Ranking Member…

I thank my good friend and the ranking member on the subcommittee, the gentlewoman from California, for her leadership on this bill and her amendment and her efforts to make a good product an even better one. And I thank our ranking…

And my colleagues, as we see the Nation going through such pain, I rise once again to see why we can't get along, why Republicans and Democrats find it almost impossible to try to raise some solutions to the problems we face. There is no…

On a cold, snowy night in February 2009, the lives of hundreds of people in my district were shattered. The cruel irony of 50 loved ones killed in a plane crash the Friday before Valentine's Day weekend is lost on no one in my district…

Madam President, today I want to discuss the jobs bill we are currently debating and how important it is that we pass this right away. I also want to respond to the minority leader's remarks this morning in which he tried to deny the…

I would point out that the lawsuit that the gentleman from California referred to lost at the Supreme Court, and that was a number of years ago, which adds to the point that, of course, ``In God We Trust,'' our national motto, is not under…

Although the American people are concerned about restoring our economy and creating jobs, today we are returning to irrelevant issues that do nothing to promote economic growth and put Americans back to work. We have seen this before. In…

Nobody said that the national motto ``In God We Trust'' is just words. Nobody said any such thing. What I said is that this resolution is just words because no one is threatening the national motto. It's there. It's on our currency, and…

Reclaiming my time, the gentleman may be correct. I'm not familiar with that case. But cases making these challenges occur all the time. They lose 100 percent of the time, and there's no reason to expect that that will change. So, again…

Thank you, Representative Fudge, for bringing us together this evening on a very important discussion, one that focuses on the fundamental underpinnings of this democracy, the ability to vote, right to vote, and encouraging voters to come…

My question is either ``yes'' or ``no.'' You can answer your way, but it's a simple question. Under the Affordable Care Act, would the people who can receive tax credits today be denied those tax credits if your bill were to pass today?

Far too many Americans hurt today. They hurt because of unfair tax policy. They've witnessed, as more and more reports are issued, that the top income stratum has seen its income grow by 275 percent, while those of more modest means have…

I thank the gentleman from Michigan once again. It's been said on the floor, once again, this bill has bipartisan support. I don't doubt that it probably will at the end of the day, but somehow that's the magic formula for doing the right…
