Policy

We should be tough on deadbeat parents, not on innocent children.

China will undertake immediate steps to crack down on piracy, enforce intellectual property rights.

H.R. 450 would impose a moratorium that would stop rules from being issued regardless of their merit.

It would bring to a halt many positive and noncontroversial activities of the Government.

A moratorium on regulations is not acceptable.

I think it would be a terrible mistake to put an end to it, to gut it, to undermine it.

I want to cut Government.

I'm going to judge a policy not on whether it's a Republican or a Democratic one but on whether it's best for the American people.

I also concur with the Department's recommendation that the administration continue its present efforts to improve U.S. energy security.

I think that this—when I submit the budget, I think it'll be the beginning of a very positive thing.

I have worked on this issue since 1980.

I'm committed to making welfare what it was meant to be, a second chance, not a way of life.

I ask you to fight to keep the reforms that we've put in place and the programs that you've relied on over the years.

We do not want to see overall cuts in education programs.

I think that would be a terrible mistake because it— it again, it does all the things that I think we should be doing.

Is it good for the American people?

This legislation ensures that we'll change that.

I think we ought to require a system that promotes parenting, that promotes education, that promotes work.
