I didn't buy the Democratic Treasury Secretary under a Republican President because that's exactly what Hank Paulson is. He's a Wall Street insider, a Wall Street banker. Wall Street believes in big government. That's the reason they…

During the Depression, though, as you just said, there was a lot of spending on infrastructure during that period of time. It did not take care of the unemployment. If you look at the unemployment rate during the Great Depression, it…

Now this is the head of CMS, who is going to be heading up the comparative effectiveness rationing panel. I call it a rationing panel.

But this comparative effectiveness research that was started with a nonstimulus bill back a little over a year ago--that's when Nancy Pelosi and company funded the comparative effectiveness research--what the American people need to…

One of our constituents in northeast Georgia in my 10th Congressional District just wrote us a note saying that he is a small businessman, and he said that his small business was going to survive this economic downturn. But the way it was…

But what you are just saying is great information, so that the American people can understand and hopefully our Democratic colleagues will understand, the cost curve goes up, higher than if we did nothing. In fact, this new estimate does…

We have heard over and over again from our Democratic colleagues, particularly in leadership, that the cost curve would go down. In other words, that the spending, the total level of spending, the total level of spending in this country on…

Say that again, please, so people can understand, because we just saw a report. I don't know if you saw the report, because we haven't talked about it. There was a report just recently where businesses that were going to hire new…

The Congressional Budget Office has stated that the law will raise the individual market premiums by an average of $2,100 per family, raise them. They are going to go up above what would have been if we did nothing. But the cost is going…

Now, Dr. Fleming, you better explain about retro spectroscope because a lot of people haven't heard about that. They have heard of a colonoscope or sigmoidoscope, but you are not talking about the same thing.

Americans know that you can't manage what you can't measure. If you don't have a budget, you can't measure anything. You can't set out spending priorities. Failing to enact a budget blueprint just doesn't allow Congress to measure any…

What are the consequence of not passing a budget? Well, first thing if we don't pass the budget, then there's no cap on discretionary spending for this fiscal year. So they can spend whatever they want to because they have no constraints…

That's absolutely correct. In fact, an attempt was made to pass a budget. Through our legislative process, they did all of the things. A budget resolution was presented, an attempt was made to pass a budget resolution. And only four times…

The budget resolution simply sets forth an annual framework of priorities, sets forth the framework for taxes and spending. It's one of the few pieces of legislation that Congress must pass annually. We're not seeing that happen. Since…

I agree with you it's not only unfortunate, but it's irresponsible. We're seeing Congress spend money, tons and tons of money that we don't have, trillions of dollars that we don't have, for programs that America doesn't want. It's not in…

It is the most basic responsibility of governing. They are not governing. They are not doing what they should. If you can't budget, you cannot govern. They are not governing. They are being irresponsible. The American public deserve better.

I believe very firmly that the only way that we are going to incorporate people into this country--and we have been a Nation of immigrants, and I believe very fully that we should continue to allow responsible immigration into this…

It's another 3-day work week for Congress, and there is still nothing on the agenda to spur the economy and to incentivize growth. Job creation remains the top concern of the American people. Shouldn't it be a priority of Congress as well…

This bill, as well as the underlying bill is a farce, just two big farces. Let me tell you a couple of things that they won't do and some things that they will do. The first thing that it will do is it's going to drive millions of people…

The simple truth is this health care bill is a killer. It kills over 5 million jobs in future job creation with $52 billion in mandates and taxes. It kills economic freedom and the American entrepreneurial spirit. It kills the family…

The facts are that the Federal Government will require all insurance policies to get that extra tax. It is not called a tax, but it is an extra tax that is going to be forced upon anybody who pays for insurance, and that tax is going to be…

Now, our President has held up Great Britain and their health care system as being where we need to go today. Dr. Cassidy spoke so quickly. I don't hear that quick, but he was saying that a lady that he was associated with went into the…

The American people can kill this bill by contacting their Democratic Congressmen and saying ``no'' to this government takeover of health care system that is going to ruin our economy.

Well, it is the craziest thing because they are not going to fix taxpayer-funded abortions in reconciliation. We have got, I think it is, 41 Democrats that claim to be pro-life. They have whittled it down to 12. Those other 29 so-called…

In fact, I've wondered, and I'm sure the American people are wondering, why is it that Democrats don't want to have a vote on a bill? ... It is totally unconstitutional what the leadership is doing.
