I thank the gentleman from Michigan for yielding time. This argument seems a little bit confusing, I'm sure, to most people in America today. Several months ago House Republicans were accused of disagreeing with the President because, oh…

I thank the chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee for the time. We've all heard about the need to address jobs, to act on jobs, so here we are today to address the issue of job creation for so many in this country who are currently…

Thank you very much for the time and consideration. Again, we did adopt an amendment that actually takes a look at the regulation before it's offered.

I think I know that if I stub my toe, it's going to hurt before I do it. We ought to be able to check out whether or not it's going to cost jobs before we do it.

Reclaiming my time, the gentleman will recognize that State, local, and tribal governments will be able to enforce their own dust regulations according to local conditions. So I understand where you're coming from. I would just oppose this…

Reclaiming my time, I understand there are some big concerns from Boston, there are concerns in Houston, and there are some concerns in Los Angeles; but, I can tell you in rural Colorado, in rural America, there are grave concerns that…

I thank the gentleman. The empirical evidence that I go on comes from the groups in Colorado that know this issue the best--the farmers and ranchers that I represent. Here's just a listing of a few of the organizations that support this…

I thank the gentleman from Illinois for this amendment. It's ironic that the opposition to this amendment characterizes the amendment as a burden. However, the burden being placed, I would suggest, if it's a burden at all, is on the EPA…

The question I have on that--I understand the confusion about jobs in the EPA. I think there is a great deal of confusion when it comes to whether or not the EPA is considering jobs in their analysis. The administration has issued an…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. My constituents have a very simple question for people participating in this debate today: What part of broke don't you understand? What part of the fact that we are borrowing 42 cents of every dollar…

I thank the gentleman from Kansas. One of the most common things I hear at town meetings is the issue of uncertainty in our economy, and the issue that regulations are forcing businesses to make decisions not to hire new people, but to…

And thank you for the points that you raised. Talking about the EPA and the regulations they've issued, I had the opportunity at a committee hearing several months ago, the Energy and Commerce Committee, to discuss with the assistant…

I thank the gentleman from New York. You bring up some great points in terms of what the American people are facing when they look at Congress and see the number of bills that we have passed with bipartisan support to create jobs. They see…

Tonight I am joined by several of my colleagues from the freshman class to talk about some of the greatest issues facing our country and what we are going to do in this country to get our job creators back on their feet so we can do…

The statistics speak for themselves. Two million people, the number of net jobs the economy shed from February of 2009 when the stimulus was passed. Are you hearing the same thing in the great State of Washington?

I thank both the lady from Alabama and the gentleman from Illinois who rightfully pointed out that with the addition of the bills that passed the House just today, we have added to the forgotten 15 bills that are creating jobs, that have…

America's job creators, the plan that we have come up with to get this economy moving forward again, it's embodied in the forgotten 15, and the other bills that we have passed to join the forgotten 15 are piling up in the United States…

I have a question for the gentleman, if he would entertain it. You're talking about, what you're holding in your hand, that is this week, that's just 1 week, 1 day of regulations?

I want to thank everybody for participating in tonight's discussion about our plan for jobs, about what we're going to do to get this country back to work. For 32 months, this country has faced unemployment of over 8 percent. I want to…

I thank you. I'd be curious to hear from my colleagues tonight. Over the 55 town meetings that I've held, I've never heard somebody come up to me and say, hey, when is the government going to start creating all of these jobs to replace 15…

I thank the gentleman from Colorado. I was speaking to a pharmacist the other day. You mentioned the issue of regulations, what it's doing to business, and they actually wanted to create a little different business model for their pharmacy…

I want to thank the gentleman from Illinois for his comments because when he started talking tonight he talked about his great hope and optimism for this country, the fact that we really do live in the greatest Nation on the face of this…

I thank the gentleman from Illinois. I know in Colorado that my neighbor the gentleman from Kansas has done tremendous work on getting this country back economically and what he's doing to create jobs. I yield to the gentleman from Kansas.

I thank the gentleman from Arkansas and my colleagues for joining us to talk here today about this important issues. Eastern Colorado, the district that I represent, is about 32,000 square miles. It's bigger than the State of South…

This past weekend, I volunteered at the fifth annual Colorado Mission of Mercy, a 2-day free dental clinic held in a different Colorado community each year. This year it was in Brush, Colorado, an appropriate name for a dental clinic. The…
