My Republican colleagues have done everything they can to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act, which had insurance reform in it. Without the insurance reform, which clearly they want to do away with, you are throwing senior citizens to…

I want to speak directly to the senior citizens of America and to those who want to become senior citizens. The Republican budget destroys, terminates Medicare as we know it today. Under the Republican budget, in 10 years Medicare will no…

We've heard a lot of discussion here this evening about what economic policy works, where do the deficits come from. Let's just figure it out. Beginning with this man over here--I think we would all recognize him--that would be Ronald…

A point of order. The Acting CHAIR. All Members are reminded to address their remarks to the Chair.

Let me thank my colleague from Vermont, Peter Welch, for this presentation on the tax policy. I think we probably would want to stay with that a few moments. I know my colleague from New York (Mr. Tonko) is here, and perhaps you would like…

Thank you very much, Mr. Yarmuth. For the members of the Budget Committee, you've had a steep and difficult job as the Republicans have attempted simply to ram down the throats of this Congress a really unacceptable budget, one that does…

If America is going to make it, we have to make it in America. Once again, manufacturing matters. The problem with the Republican budget is it hollows out, continues the hollowing out of American industry by denying the research, reducing…
