This is the lesson that we are teaching those young men and women who we are supposedly trying to help. The lesson is this: hop on an airplane from San Juan to my district in Orlando for $168, and you can get a 70 percent increase in your…

We are talking about a minimum wage of $4.25 an hour. That is less than $700 per month. Tell me how anybody can survive anywhere on the island of Puerto Rico on less than $700 a month. It simply isn't possible. The cost of living in San…

What we have here and the hundreds of millions of dollars if not billions of dollars that we are talking about is all based on the idea that CO2 is heating our planet.

if he thinks that carbon dioxide doesn't cause any human health problems, I'd invite him to put a plastic bag over his head, tie it tightly around his neck, and see what happens next.

I think we should double our R&D budget everywhere on this topic.
