I have got a map that I would like to display and it talks about the overbuild that is occurring, $100 million in Colorado.

I would like to thank the gentleman from Illinois for the time.

So that is a concern?

We have never once relied on the government to provide our GPS signal. That comes from satellites; that comes from a tower that we ourselves put up.

Wasn't that a condition of the grant, that they be sustainable?

Is overbuilding occurring?

I live in rural Colorado

something has gone dramatically wrong.

At prior broadband stimulus oversight hearings, the NTIA and the RUS have claimed overbuilding is not occurring. Do you still maintain that position?

Why did EAGLE-Net turn down $20 million?

This is not overbuild?

I rise on the occasion of Honor Flight Northern Colorado's ninth flight to Washington, D.C., bringing veterans of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to see their memorials. On behalf of a grateful delegation, State, and country, I welcome…

Thank you, Chairman Rogers. Last week, I offered an amendment in the House Rules Committee to add additional funding for an Emergency Watershed Protection program to be used for any area that had a designated major natural disaster. It's…

I thank Chairman Upton for his leadership on the Solyndra investigation, and I also thank Chairman Stearns for the great work that you did to really, no pun intended, bring this issue to light, the work that has happened over the past year…

And you mentioned it, too. It's not just about cash in the bank. It's not just about how much money you have. It's about the assets that you have. And so your example where you may be cash poor but still hit this line, I think, is…

We talked about solutions when it comes to regulations. We've talked about the REINS Act. But here again with taxes, we have come up with solutions. We have voted to make sure that the estate tax, the death tax, doesn't come back in at…

And 5.3 trillion, now, I think there's a statistic out there that shows that that's more money than the amounts of money spent by or the deficits between George Washington and Bill Clinton combined--or maybe it's George H.W. Bush. The fact…

You mentioned optimism for the country, and I carry the same optimism, too, because the people that we work for believe that this continues to be the greatest Nation on the face of this Earth. If we have Congress, if we have Washington…

And I know you serve on the Agriculture Committee here in the House of Representatives, and I'm sure that you're hearing from some of your interests in agriculture about uncertainty.

So you have got a government policy that actually is an impediment to job creation here. A company trying to bring jobs back in, but because of the cost of doing business here is so much higher than elsewhere, they had that unfair choice…

And I think that's why we have to start talking about solutions for this country. We all have examples of regulations that have gone amok. I was dealing with a business in the district just the other day that talked about a product that…

This past week I had an opportunity to visit a business in Colorado, a manufacturing business in Colorado. It's a multi- generation family business that was started by this gentleman's dad 50 years ago. He's actually retiring from the…

Then add the fact that this generation that's graduating from college today is going to be left with a $16 trillion debt; and, by the way, that's just what it is today. It's growing each and every second. In just a few years, that number…

The gentlelady from Alabama is exactly right. Thank you for your leadership on the economy, on getting this country turned around, and getting our businesses back in shape to hire once again. Over the past couple of years since being…
