Why are we providing money to them? Actually, why are we borrowing money from them in order to give it back to them?

We have $5 trillion more in debt right now than we had 3 years ago, $5 trillion. Unless that is dealt with, our economy will collapse.

I was of course here and I am the author of the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004.

We will miss Don Payne. And I will miss his aggressive refutations of the points that I make, as he always did so as a fine gentleman.

Why are we paying China? Why are we borrowing money from China to give it back to them like that when they are spending their money on weapons aimed at the United States?

Sometimes you look back and Congress has done exactly the wrong thing to achieve the goals that they have set out, but we are doing this in a very systematic way and within a few years we have seen this commercial space group expand and…

I am opposed to free trade with dictatorship, especially the world's worst human rights abuser.

I would like you to convince me of why it is necessary for us to provide this type of aid to the world's worst human rights abuser.

I am sorry. I love my colleagues who have such great hearts that they want to help autistic children in Africa and elsewhere, but you are going to have to convince me of why it is necessary to borrow more money from communist China in…

We ran a record $295 billion trade deficit in goods with China last year at a time when the U.S. economy was trying to struggle from a recession and we had high unemployment. This bill would be a small step in the right direction; but we…

We should not, again, be lured into a situation where we are doing the fighting for people who should be fighting for their own liberty

Let's pray that America has learned something from these recent disastrous interventions.

I rise in favor of H.R. 4105 because we need to have every tool we can muster to fight China's unfair trade practices, which not only steal markets and jobs from American producers, but also provides Beijing with a means to finance its…

The President was taking both sides of every issue.

I hope it is not--that this is not what it appears to be from the rest of the Administration.

I am very concerned that we are not having an honest discussion on energy with this Administration.

We need to have an honest discussion of what our priorities really are.

We are not going to help manufacturing in these States if all the consumer money is being drained away.

I am very concerned about Vice President Biden's statement yesterday that we should speed up the transfer of technology to China.
