And, on health care, the Affordable Care Act included numerous provisions to contain costs by moving from a payment system that rewards quantity to one rewards quality, and value and efficiency.

Rape is when a woman is forced to have sex against her will. That is whether she is conscious, unconscious, mentally stable, not mentally stable.

And can you address my budget proposal question?

I am really not understanding why you don't have a specific proposal because... the National Strategy is deficient.

But I rise today to offer H. Res. 1522, expressing support for designation of the last week of September, this year being the week of September 26, as National Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Week and the last Wednesday of September…

Thank you. And I look forward, as we go into the August recess, talking with our constituents about how we've begun to turn this economy around. I want to close out the last couple of seconds with the focus on tax cuts, remind people that…

Over 95 percent of Republicans voted against it. So we could continue to move in the direction in which we have been going--job creation, spurring the economy, investing in America--or we could backslide toward the Bush era and go back to…

Let's take it one step further. It's not just bad enough, okay, to say they voted to protect the tax break. On top of that, 95 percent of House Republicans have signed a pledge to protect those tax breaks, signed a pledge, put their name…

Americans in November are going to have a choice. We can go back to the agenda of the Republicans, which now is right there in blue and white, and where they clearly have said, making no bones about it, that they would take us back to the…

In Florida, we don't have a strong manufacturing base, but we want to make sure that folks in Pennsylvania are able to thrive economically so they can come down and vacation and they can afford to take a vacation and come down to south…

Thank you so much, Mr. Davis. Really, I think it's so incredible. We had nine Members join us tonight for this hour. And we had the full philosophical spectrum--from the most conservative member of our caucus to the moderates to…

Thank you, Mr. Tonko. Really, you have hammered home, you're here night after night, week after week, to make sure that we can talk to the American people, illuminate not just our efforts on turning the economy around and creating jobs but…

And I'm wondering if your characterization of their agenda is one that you--is this something that you think is--is it your opinion? From what I understand, we have a number of different third party validators that can document that they…

So what would be the urgent nature or last- minute ordering that would be done for key chains or hats? We know in 2020 we are going to need that. We know in 2030 we are going to need that.

Because it's not like we don't know that we do the census every 10 years and that we are going to need promotional materials to promote the census.

So essentially the screen printing that was done onto the item, they define that as substantially altering the actual piece.

Have you had an opportunity to talk with the Census Bureau about why it is that they are getting promotional material that they're using to get Americans to complete the census form from China?

We look forward to repeatedly inviting our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to join us in moving this country in a new direction, continuing to jump-start the economy, create jobs, and aggressively restoring the prosperity that…

And using that free market base for innovation and investment in alternative energy is going to take us right through the 21st century. We are risking, without passing that legislation and making sure that we can spark those significant…

It's not only that they were not voting for the America COMPETES Act, which by any measure will create literally millions, potentially, of new jobs and definitely tens of thousands of jobs. They added an unrelated, irrelevant pornography…

Yes, you did. You did, as a matter of fact. And my fifth-graders and first-grader will be back tomorrow. I'm looking forward to that. Maybe we can send them over to the other side of the Chamber, and they can shake things up a little bit…

Mr. Tonko, as the parent of twin fifth- graders, I can tell you that my fifth-graders often scratch their heads and wonder, Mom, what the heck are your colleagues on the other side of the aisle doing? They wonder why they only focus on the…

Since you asked the question rhetorically, I'll actually jump in and answer it with an answer from Mark Zandi, Moody's economist who Mrs. Dahlkemper just referred to. As to what would have happened without the Recovery Act, without the…

Before I yield back, we want to emphasize that this is a frustrating process at times, but the women of the Congress, both the House and the Senate, not only know how to have a good time, know how to play softball, but they know how to get…

I am really privileged to have been here to listen to the gentleman acknowledge the patriots that gave their lives and that have served our country so faithfully from his community, and I can tell you that the constituents of the district…
