The Public Record
I want to say this. While we all acknowledge there was a numerical explosion and a substantive explosion or a questionable, in substance, on earmarks and that's why earmarks are banned, one of the advantages of earmarks is that it did let…
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…
I offer this amendment with Ms. McCollum from Minnesota today. In fact, it was her amendment from last year that got me involved in this. Basically, what this does is stops the Defense Department from using major sports sponsorships, such…
There are five quick reasons why I think this bill should be repealed: Number one, it does not decrease the cost of health care. In fact, it is estimated that it will increase costs by 13 percent per family and is already moving toward a…
The failed policies of the Obama administration continue to drag down the economy. The policies of stimulus programs, bailouts, crony capitalism, the Department of Justice investigating only what they choose worthy to be enforced, bowing…
America is on the economic road to Greece. Our national debt is 100 percent of our gross domestic product. And I want you to think about that 1 minute. Did you ever think you would hear that on the floor of Congress, that our national debt…
At 65, Bob is eligible for six Federal feeding programs. That doesn't mention what's going on on a State or local level. These are duplications that Democrats and Republicans alike should agree with, let's eliminate. This is the low fruit…
His assumptions of deficit reduction are really irresponsible, very political.
I have some philosophical disagreements with the Administration on this program.
The market is broken for small business owners. It is broken for individuals buying their own policies.
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.
You would admit that the President's assumption on claims that premiums were going to be reduced $2,500 was wrong then.
There are three things we need to do to create jobs in America: Number one, we need to roll back job-killing regulations. You don't have to work for worker safety at the expense of the job. There is a balance. Government agencies need to…
I thank the gentleman. The President of the United States has said it would be inexcusable not to extend the payroll tax cut for 1 year. Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Hoyer have said the same thing, as have dozens of other leading Democrats. I agree…
this is a class of two enormously important values: justice being number one, and then you have the Gullah-Geechee corridor.
we from Harris Neck, wish to speak truth to misinformation, misconception, inaccurate statements, rumor, and outright lies
this is the political equivalent of me walking in a gasoline factory smoking a cigarette.
As Americans, we can be united on the central question of fair compensation.
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.
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 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…
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.
Politicians like Jack Kingston
