The Public Record
American politician
In reclaiming my time, I will say this to my friend: a long journey begins with small steps. If we can just take a few, small bipartisan steps together, I think it would change the entire tone of this debate, and I say that with sincerity.
If the Harry Reid Democrat Senate would pass the Defense appropriations bill, we would not be here tonight having this debate. With that, I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Coffman), the author of the bill…
Reclaiming my time, I would only say this. It's hard to figure out what the United States is doing at all under Harry Reid's leadership.
I have our last speaker, who's going to close for us. Mr. Coffman is going to consume 3 minutes. So if the gentleman from Virginia wants to talk in 30 seconds, I will accommodate my friend. I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Virginia.
I can't imagine why Harry Reid and the Senate would shut down all these things for a health care bill called ObamaCare which is raising the cost of medicine and decreasing access to it. I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Virginia…
I think that we should not be penny wise and pound foolish when it comes to program integrity.
Reclaiming my time, as an airplane parts manufacturer, I can promise you that you know how difficult it was to sell your products to the United States Air Force. And this program would allow a small innovator to do that and therefore…
When we hear some of the assumptions that are made--for example, the stimulus bill was supposed to bring down the unemployment to, I think, 6 and a half percent, and we are still lingering at around 9 percent.
The market is broken for small business owners. It is broken for individuals buying their own policies.
You would admit that the President's assumption on claims that premiums were going to be reduced $2,500 was wrong then.
I have some philosophical disagreements with the Administration on this program.
His assumptions of deficit reduction are really irresponsible, very political.
We learned a tremendous amount of information about what is really a very complex issue and one that is, as my good friend points out, it is a clash of values.
This is a class of two enormously important values: justice being number one, and then you have the Gullah-Geechee corridor.
As Americans, we can be united on the central question of fair compensation.
This is the political equivalent of me walking in a gasoline factory smoking a cigarette.
We from Harris Neck, wish to speak truth to misinformation, misconception, inaccurate statements, rumor, and outright lies
One of the things that I want to emphasize, this is the first hearing that the Harris Neck residents have ever been able to have, and yet this is a situation that has been going on really for decades.
I look forward to working with the committee on this proposal. I thank the chairman and the subcommittee chairman, Mr. Davis, for their support and their discussions of this language. I thank the gentleman for engaging in this colloquy.
Thank you. I would like to call States' attention to drug screening assessments approved by the National Institutes of Health that identify individuals as having a high probability of drug use. Under the bill I introduced, individuals…
I would like to enter into a colloquy with the distinguished chairman. Mr. Chairman, I thank you for including language in this bill that would remove current barriers for States to strengthen the unemployment insurance program through…
These cuts are real. They are measurable. This is what the American people need to know, something that is accountable. This puts in place a 10-year budget. The United States Senate, under Harry Reid's leadership, has not had a budget in 3…
