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 the way this majority is acting. They still have the checks in the checkbook. They still have a credit card that is being held by the Chinese. But where does the money come from? With all this deficit spending, this outrageous…

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…

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…

We need to focus on teachers, not administrators and a lot of the auxiliary people who are in the educational system today. Teachers should be the primary focus. In my State of Georgia, we're laying off teachers, and it's a crying shame…

Mr. Speaker, this legislation is the first step in a process that offers the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico an invitation to become a full member as a State in the greatest Nation in the world. It is neither onerous nor unfair to require that…

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 simply requires English to be the official language in public schools, local and State courts, State government agencies, and the Puerto Rican legislature. This should not be a huge problem because since 1900 English has been taught…

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…

We may very well be needing to focus on the radio frequency spectrum that is in the public domain; but, Mr. Speaker, this Congress is ignoring the greatest spectrum that the American people are demanding, and that's where are the jobs…

Well, that is what our colleagues who would very much like to see us have socialized medicine in America would like for us to do. But we cannot do that because this bill is going to be a killer. It is going to kill our economy. It is going…

Thank you. I am asked frequently by my constituents, Dr. Broun, what does ObamaCare mean for me? And what I explain to my constituents that ask that is that, number one, if they have private health insurance today they can't keep it…

Well, thank you, Dr. Gingrey. In fact, there is a John Deere plant in Columbia County, Georgia, just north of Augusta. That's a great plant. It hires hundreds of my constituents and citizens in the State of Georgia, and people are going to…

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…

I rise today in support of H. Con. Res. 244 expressing support for the designation of March 20 as the National Day of Recognition for Long-Term Care Physicians and to honor an esteemed long-term care Georgian physician, Dr. William A…

America is at a pivotal point in its history. We hear a lot of claims on both sides that are contradicting. And I want to just talk for a few minutes about some of those claims and just give you some simple truths. We heard all day long…

We have some solutions. I have challenged Democrats to introduce a bill that would do four things: across-State- line purchasing for businesses and individuals, association pools to give people multiple options, develop State high-risk…

Mr. Jordan is exactly right; the American people are not being taken into consideration. They are being overlooked. But I want to remind the gentlelady from California, and the American people for that matter, the AMA only represents a…

I am going to vote for this bill, but we are embarking upon a history for women that is going to be bleak. My mother died from metastatic breast cancer at age 63. A government panel just recently said women under 50 cannot get a mammogram…

Let's go further and see if the House can deem it. Deem and pass. Western movie. The only outlaws in this particular movie are those who want to take over the health care system in this country. They're going to ambush small business. But…

I don't think it is a done deal. And it is up to the American people whether it passes or not, because the Democrats don't want their fingerprints on the Senate bill, they don't want their fingerprints on all the increase in the Internal…

I call that zombie economics because you have to be a dead man walking around with no soul to believe the economic parameters and the games that the Democrats have played with CBO. And people need to understand that when CBO, Congressional…

I want to go to Congressman Deal, too. He has been fighting for a long time to stop this birthright citizenship here in this Nation, which is actually a ruling by the Federal court system. It is an improper ruling on the 14th Amendment…
