I see it as exclusionary. I don't see it as increasing the field of bidders.

I would suggest to you that is not always the case.

My concern has always been in the private sector, that where is the private sector's role on these committees and when do we get a chance to weigh in?

As evidence of Executive Order 13563 in President Obama's recent announcement that he will propose a package of regulations to delineate in the coming weeks, would you agree that the President has clearly recognized that at least some…

Let's get their input before we impose regulations and costs to them that are really burdensome.

I want to ask you is there any remedial process at all, having sat through many, many, many, many audits myself...

You can only do what you can afford to do.

The ability to actually pay for it is not there.

I'm an automobile dealer by trade.

It is the scope of overreach and over-involvement that's killing all of this.

I think what really disturbs all of us is who is it that makes up these lists and what's the criteria for somebody being on the list or not being on the list.

If somebody asked me 2 years ago would you be in Congress, I would say, absolutely not.

We truly are the job creators. We are the people that will drive the economy forward and make it possible for people to get back to work if we can get government in the role it should be.

This is not about Republicans, it's not about Democrats, it's not about finger pointing; it's about fixing what we have in front of us all right now for all Americans.

I thank my colleague from Illinois. I appreciate that. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to my colleague from the great State of California, the sponsor of this bill and a member of this Reagan Commission, Mr. Gallegly.

I think what the American people are asking us to do is please, we don't want to stop helping other people around the world but at what point do we come to the realization that we are truly broke?

I want to make sure that when we are putting aid into these communities, how do we make sure that we get credit for it?

If we would quit going around the world going mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, we just don't do enough, I think we would get a lot more accomplished.

My personal opinion is we need to have less government telling you what the rules should be.

I have always believed that true education will take place--the child that wants to learn, a teacher that wants to teach and a parent that supports both.

I have got to tell you. I appreciate what you are doing. I think it is very brave.

We have handicapped ourselves to the point where we are forfeiting the ability to compete.

It is the cumulative effect of all these regulations that keep building and building and building to where it is going to break.

Where is the return on investment and when do we start to see that there is actually a positive to this?

I think the worst thing we can do is to continue to throw money at a problem.
