If those folks showed up, do you think she would be compelled to go down there and thank them for showing up?

If we keep shutting down these plants, these coal-powered electric producing plants, there is a dire effect that happens in industry with this.

But it doesn't make sense to me for us to go away from something we already know.

It is amazing to me that we have turned our back on a lot of things that we have.

Every single penny that the government uses comes out of a hardworking American taxpayer's pocket.

Why in the world would we ever, ever turn our back on what we know and how we can offset the rising cost of wages?

This is not the type of a country that I know of, ruin its greatness.

We rely on sun that may not shine and wind that may not blow.

Coal is abundant. It is accessible. It is affordable.

I am not too far from here, over in Pennsylvania, and there are a lot of my friends that are in the coal business.

If Medicare Advantage plans don't change benefit packages, the Medicare Advantage cuts are going to result in higher premiums by about $1,800 per beneficiary, voters, by 2017.

In my world, we call that bass ackwards.

I agree with Mr. Clay, there is an evolving truth as we see in this Administration, as we continue to look at programs that are put into effect and we start to wonder, why did we really do this.

I think these towns like Tucson tend to rise to the occasion and that support really helps those people that are experiencing this.

I think it helps. You know, as an example, Gabby's staff, I mean, we immediately got, you know, some professional help for them.

This is going to be a really, really difficult time for those folks. It's going to take a long time to recover.

I want to make sure we dominate in it. So I think that should be our goal always.

If this is about creating jobs, then, my goodness, we better start looking at where the problem is.

Is there anybody sitting at this table that would say to me, you know what, we don't have enough regulations?

I think the confusing thing of this is, when we talk about--and Mr. Tierney said the problem is there is a lack of demand.

I think we would all agree with that.

I just think we need to be completely honest with what is going on here.

What does that look like to the people who pay for all this, the American taxpayers? It is pathetic.

We are not talking, by the way, gentlemen, about union jobs and non-union jobs, Republican jobs and Democrat jobs; we are talking about American jobs.

The question is who was made whole, who was made partial, who was left out in the cold.
