It is amazing. One of the other common sense solutions we are doing to create jobs is ending the marriage tax penalty.

Absolutely. I have been here 10 years; and according to the liberal, big-government types in Washington, anything they are not happy with they call a cut. There are, frankly, excesses in the Federal Government system that should be cut…

Another way we are working in the House to help create jobs is with a good roads program, good infrastructure. Not everybody wants to live in the city, and yet we all have to kind of go to the city eventually. Maybe it is for a particular…

It is sad when you think France was the country home to the great Lafayette who fought so hard for American freedom and whose portrait hangs on the floor of this Chamber. And yet look at the modern Frenchmen. Boy, have they strayed from…

I am certainly proud to be here this afternoon, and wanted to talk some about the issues that we are facing here in Washington. I am proud to say that while the national news has really focused, and rightfully so, on the war in Iraq, the…

It does get ridiculous. We are also doing something I think that is real important, and that is, we have passed H.R. 6, our energy bill. One of the things that small business people need and middle-class American tax payers need are lower…

One day you will be lucky enough to join the ranks of all of us who are married. And when that happens, you and your wife will start, well, let us say right now you are in the 20 percent tax bracket and she is in the 20 percent tax…

I know for the 34 constituents that I lost in Iraq, and I believe the six to 12 in Afghanistan, I am certainly not going to forget them; and I am going to do everything I can to help promote Iraqi democracy and also jobs in America. We…

I know I can leave my house in Savannah, Georgia, basically take maybe two or three roads to get to I-95 and 10 hours later I am going to be in Miami, Florida; and if I go north on it, 10 hours later or depends on how fast you drive, of…

The Chair is an intelligent man and he has seen the Pelosi-Gephardt plan. There is not one. Has the gentleman seen one from the other body? There is not one. What do we have? Nine Democrats, I had not read the paper in a week, might be up…

The other things we are doing in order to help small businesses and we think it is very important to help small businesses because that is still 70 percent of the employment in this country, and, unfortunately, large businesses come and…

the interesting thing is we hear from some people, well, we should not interfere in Iraq. It is like oh, yes, these people deserve to be oppressed and put down, and they do not deserve freedom; and now that they have been liberated, we are…

Well, you do not give anything. You take it away and then you redistribute it. That is all it is, redistribution of wealth. It is not our money to give. We just want to take less of it. And I think the folks back home, the families raising…

I want to say this: on I-95 in coastal Georgia, we have something like 55,000 cars a day that go down, and all that we are asking them is to stop and leave a little bit of their money in Georgia before they go to Florida and spend all of…

It is very disappointing, but I hope that the President can work with them and see if he can get something done. The other thing is the President was elected, and let him get his team in place. It should be that simple.

It does seem that in Washington, D.C. you go from maybe major to lieutenant colonel to colonel to general to journalist. And it seems that after you have turned in your uniform, you get more information and you are briefed in more top…

I had the honor of meeting the gentleman's former commanding officer. He said his years in the military did not wear him out nearly as much as being the gentleman's commanding officer.

I want to say as the proud Representative from the part of Georgia that has not just Fort Stewart and Hunter, where the 3rd Infantry division is headquartered, but we also have Kings Bay Naval Base and Moody Air Force Base and Robbins Air…

I am wearing, Mr. Speaker, a patch of the Third Infantry Division. This particular emblem... it means probably more to me than any that I have ever received. It was given to me by retired Lieutenant Colonel Robin Webber, whose husband is…

Okay, let's say just for a moment you bunch of pampered, overpaid, unrealistic children had your way and the USA did not go into Iraq. Let's say that you really get your way and we destroy all of our nuclear weapons, stick daisies in our…

That Russian equipment sold to Iraq, Mr. Speaker, that is radar-jamming or missile-jamming technology. Is that not the case?

If I see any of your names on a marquee, I'm going to boycott the movie. I will completely stop going to the movies if I have to. In most cases, it certainly wouldn't be much of a loss. You scoff at our military whose boots you are not…

There is another example. Another company called Sedxho, S-E-D-X-H-O, it is a French company. It is a publicly-owned French company, but they have $1 billion worth of food service contracts with the United States Department of Defense…

It is clear France is not after some noble or high ground about peace, but it simply boils down to profit.

I just want to say, when the Republicans took over the Congress in 1995 and became the majority party, they started working on our budgets. Probably since then almost every single Democrat has voted against every single budget, it is fair…
