American companies have little incentive to respect workers' rights.

They do not get to fire you for exercising your rights that they have given to you under the law.

Things are even worse today for workers in America.

American workers today are more vulnerable to being fired without cause.

I just wish this House would put half as much effort into addressing America's top concern of jobs and the economy.

I think there is probably some merit to posting.

This hearing follows floor action on a bill to protect corporations that unlawfully outsource American jobs in retaliation against workers exercising their rights.

I think we went through this committee before and when we got done with the panels it seemed to me that people recognized that this was a flexible time that the board had provided.

will the workers in South Carolina have less protection than workers in Washington State?

Congress cannot stand by and allow an unelected board to wreak havoc on our workforce. We must stand up and do the job we were sent here to do.

We already have over 50 million uninsured. Let us don't add to the burden by taking away Medicare and Medicaid.

I strongly support IPAB and would oppose any effort by Congress to undermine it.

I think it is time we set aside efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, focus on real problems for American families.

The American people have firmly rejected the Republican budget plan to end Medicare, to voucherize Medicare.

I am a former college administrator; I am a former financial aid director.

The budget resolution that passed the House of Representatives... would cut the Pell Grant maximum to $3,000, from $5,550 to $3,000.

That is the Republican vision; that is what they voted for.

I find it impossible to believe that someone can consider that regulation to be an onerous or arbitrary or unfair regulation.

I would suggest to you that the underpinning of the finances of the for-profit sector... is the guaranteed student loan program.

When Democrats took control of the Congress in 2006, we took on this challenge by making college more affordable and student loans more manageable.

This cannot continue. In a country as great as ours, there is no excuse for anything less than a talented and fully qualified workforce.

And we made unprecedented investments in our community colleges to build a 21st century workforce.

For most Americans, a college education is the pathway to the middle class.

We made it easier to pay back college loans with programs like public service loan forgiveness.
