Phil Gingrey

I want to make it very clear in starting my opening statement that this bill that I have proffered, H.R. 122 which you will consider, in no way, shape, or form takes away any Federal employee's rights to collective bargaining.

Americans deserve to know how their taxpayer dollars are being spent.

On the first day of 2012, physicians face a 30 percent cut if we don't fix the current Medicare Physician Payment System.

This is a problem that Congress created, and this is a problem that I expect Congress, not Republicans, not Democrats, but Congress to fix.

The Obama administration has now taken exactly the same position as the Bush administration.

I don't see how you can keep people from knowing who visits the White House and adhere to the policy of openness and transparency.

For these reasons, ACOG strongly supports H.R. 5, the Health Efficient Accessible Low-Cost Timely Healthcare Act introduced by ACOG fellow representative, Phil Gingrey.

This country is on the verge of a medical liability crisis.

The president has a massive agenda, is it too much to throw health care on top of that right now?

Well, I think it absolutely is, to try to come up with the plan, the comprehensive plan to deal with the 47 million uninsured and how best to deliver health care. And to say that we're going to do that in five months, by August one of this…

Congress should throw this greasy pile of pork into the grinder. Instead, give every American household a $10,000 stimulus check to spend as we please. With approximately 100 million households nationwide, we hit that magic number of $1…

Reclaiming my time, I am going to finish up on this very important subject, Mr. Speaker. I want to save some time for the other issue that I want to discuss, and I hope Representative Bachmann will be able to stay with me for a little…

I'm so glad that Representative Bachmann brought that out about inflationary spiral; and that's absolutely true. You print this money and this debt has to be paid back. First thing you know, the value of our money goes down, and then we've…

thank you, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to be before my colleagues this evening to discuss a couple of very important issues. One, of course, is immediate and that is this crisis in our economic situation and the so-called economic…

As for many of these companies--international companies and United States domestic companies that might have an offshore location-- the reason they don't bring their profits back into the United States and bring their employment bases as…

In celebration of Black History Month, I want to recognize African Americans from throughout Georgia's 11th Congressional District who have had a major impact on their community. Today, I rise to honor Winston Strickland of Marietta…

I want to say that the American people are beginning to realize that this is unlikely to work and that there is a tremendous burden that it is going to put on them. As I pointed out on the previous chart, it is $10,400 per family. Now…

Yes, a tranche, I am learning all kinds of things as we get into this. I guess a tranche is a slice, it's a portion, if you divide something up. Of course, we divided this pie in equal slices of $350 billion. We have already spent $350…

I rise in opposition to H.R. 2, not because of the 4 million children expansion... I am going to have to regretfully oppose the bill.

the future of the F-22 will be decided in the coming weeks by the Obama administration. Congress has spoken. The National Defense Authorization Act of fiscal year 2009 passed by Congress and signed by the President contained the funds…

I would say to my Democratic majority, despite those rules changes, for the sake of the American people, I hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle come to recognize the need to include all voices in the legislative process.

I wanted to, first off, say that I am a very proud cosponsor of the legislation introduced by Mr. Hensarling from Texas and by Mr. Conaway also from Texas, H.R. 5656, which he referred to at the outset of this hour. I want to talk…

I have a number of concerns with the amendment offered by my friend and colleague, the gentleman from Texas, my colleague on the Science Committee. Unfortunately, I do not believe that this amendment does anything to alleviate the…

My amendments, by either repealing section 526 or by providing a full waiver to NASA, just to that one agency as my amendments would have done, we could allow the agency to continue its ongoing work to develop emerging technologies and not…

I believe that was in Texas. It may have been Oklahoma. In any regard, what the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Upton) is saying is that these tar sands and shale, shale has to be mined. And then you have to go through a process, as he is…
