Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Yes, of course. The name of this legislation is the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. I am a freshman and I do not know the rules in that book as well as the two of you or as well as some of my senior colleagues. So I wonder if there is…

I think it is always helpful for us to provide information to people who do not really know much about this process here. It is kind of arcane. Maybe you could help describe for people who are wondering about the process, we have to name…

You know, let us just give them the benefit of doubt. Let us say we did not think the President should fire him. We do, but let us say, why has the President not suspended him at least until he called upon even the White House council to…

He has multiple titles, actually. I know that he has more than just that one title. And the President has not dismissed him or asked him to step aside.

No. This is a 4-hour class that actually I think it is being given this week by White House counsel Harriet Miers' office, who, of course, we know has been doing such a bang-up job at guiding the White House through their ethical morass.

Oh, yes, do not worry. White House staff attendance is mandatory for anyone holding any level of security clearance.

He required all of the White House staff to take an ethics refresher course this week.

But do not worry because last week President Bush rode in on his white steed to the rescue of the American people and addressed the culture of corruption and cronyism and lack of competence that is going on and emanating from the White…

Do you know what that is called? That is called taking from the needy and giving to the greedy.

I heard some of our friends on the other side of the aisle taking issue or calling into question what we have been saying about what they would propose to do to our Nation's veterans. I did not notice them holding up anything in black and…

If my colleague wishes to go over the details he was beginning to talk about on the bottom of the chart.

What we try to do in this 30-something time, we do a lot of talking, but we also want to show people with third- party validators and with the specifics blown up in poster-size form so that they have it both in graphical depiction as well…

We actually have a chart that outlines some of the things my colleague is about to go over so we can make sure that people have it very clearly in front of them

Just one quick statement. We want to remind everyone that tomorrow is election day in many places, Virginia, California, New York, New Jersey. We want to urge our generation to come out in the record numbers that they came out during the…

Gall is a soft word, the softest word you could use. I really want to go ahead and transition to Mr. Delahunt, who is going to go through some more of this.

That might be a little bit of Washington- speak. I think people might get the letters confused. What is Medicare Part B?

Loss of productivity by her employer. Just think about the impact of people who cannot go to work when they are sick. {time} 2300 Think about the skyrocketing costs of health care and this administration. Ask yourself, Madam Speaker, ask…

What it boils done to is that here in the House the rules hem us in, and we have to talk around a lot of what we might like to say more directly, but the American people elected us to speak truth to power. I mean, that is the bottom line…

Forgive me, Mr. Speaker, but there are times when this is so outrageous and the conduct that is going on in this administration is so outrageous that it is difficult to contain myself and it is difficult to keep that outrage bottled up…

Because they have no interest in it stopping. We are approaching the end of our hour, and I want to yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ryan) and ask him to give out our Web site.

$148,000 a year. They may have learned and bring in additional people who are qualified. Yet, the President just picked the FDIC, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, chairman to run the gulf coast recovery. Let us peruse his…

It is unfortunate that they do not appear to have any interest in that. Yet again, the cronyism and the culture of corruption continues because one would think that after Brownie they would have learned, who is still on the payroll.

Reclaiming my time, it is worse. It got worse from there. It was not just what he was doing with his attire, rolling up his shirt sleeves, but what he was wearing that they continued to talk about. On August 29, the day of the storm, Brown…

I will tell the gentleman why. Because according to the Republican leadership, they do not want an ownership society; they want an own-everything society. That is why. Because they fall into the category of groups and individuals that the…

If the gentleman will yield, $8 trillion is a really, really big number, a difficult number for a lot of people to get their minds around in terms of a concept. Tell us, how much money does that translate per man, woman and child in…
