Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Gabby had been following the negotiations and wanted to be able to be in the chamber to cast her vote, if it was pivotal, she wanted to make sure that she could help stave country from default.

Thank you. President Obama and House and Senate Democrats have said we are willing to support cuts even to programs we would normally fight to preserve. Republicans in response have doubled down in a Groundhog Day move that has pushed…

Being unemployed, Mr. Romney, is not a joke, not to my constituents in Florida or to millions of Americans across the country.

I am for making them do it if they don't do that.

We are literally jeopardizing children's lives by not having adequate access to this information.

I have a very strong record on privacy going all the way back to Terry Schiavo.

Your autocomplete feature continues to suggest that people visit websites with pirated content, that Google enables and facilitates theft.

The word 'knock-off' doesn't really conjure up anything other than trying to steal something that is someone else's intellectual property.

As our economy continues to recover, we really must take every action that we can to create jobs and meaningfully address intellectual property theft.

I really want to start off by thanking you for holding this hearing today and for officially opening this investigation into rogue websites here in the House.

Just an extension of what Mr. Rokita referred to, would you say that it is not responsible for us to hold the lifting of the debt ceiling hostage...

So it is risky and potentially reckless to cut too deeply.

Individuals who have to go to the emergency room to get their health care which is part of that $43 billion is not inactivity.

The $62 billion in savings to which I just referred: Is that separate and distinct from the $125 billion in savings included in the budget related to program integrity?

I think that when casting aspersions about the lack of a plan, they should look inward first.

This looks like a plan to me.

It should have been a priority to issue that report annually since 2008 regardless of whether the appropriations were made.

I lament that the Adam Walsh Act was significantly underfunded overall.

There is a way to keep these individuals who are very, very likely to re-offend confined.

I am quite proud, along with my colleague, Ms. Adams, that our home State is fully compliant.

Isn't it likely that the combination of all of those things would result in the recovery slowing as opposed to quickening?

So potentially if we cut too much too quick and we have the expiration of the Recovery Act funds, with the State and local governments facing significant deficits to start with, couldn't we endanger the recovery?

So that fact, coupled with draconian cuts proposed, for example, in Chairman Ryan's plan, which is like an anti-Recovery Act, would you give us a sense whether you think large spending cuts like that right away would be an additional drain…

Just by way of comparison, would you say that unemployment compensation, a payroll tax holiday, other kinds of policies that put money directly into the hands of lower-income individuals, would provide more bang for the buck for the…

I think he is exactly wrong in terms of both his explanation related to the Recovery Act and its impact as well as what are the policies that provide us with the biggest bang for our buck.
