I am pretty sure if I asked two of my sons that are in that business now what the number one issue was, we would have probably gotten Obamacare as the biggest load that they would be facing.

So I will take 10 seconds to thank you for your attention and for the opportunity to address you. I appreciate that privilege. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

I would not have said months ago that was my intention if I didn't think that was also a responsibility that I have.

We've got to repeal Obama-care. I think all of the presidential candidates on the Republican side have taken the oath to do that.
Dec 25, 2011
I want to know when that budget will first be balanced, when we'll pay off the first net dollar on our national debt and I'd like to hear about a transformative tax policy.
Dec 25, 2011
I'm burning up our political capital discussing on whether we're going to be at $28 trillion in national debt in 10 years or $26 trillion.

I just challenge all Iowans, come out to the caucus, make your decision.

Another four years of Barack Obama and I don't think we will recognize the Constitution in my lifetime again.

We have to repeal Obamacare. I think all of the presidential candidates on the Republican side have taken the oath to do that.
Dec 25, 2011
I'm willing to compromise to stop that. I look at what he's done with our finances and an extra $1 trillion a year in red ink each year that he's been in office at a minimum.
Dec 25, 2011
I have not heard yet from a presidential candidate that deep conviction on how to get us out of this impending economic disaster that we're in.
Dec 25, 2011
It means more that I actually like all of these candidates, and it is a very difficult decision.
Dec 13, 2011
If my constitutional rights, particularly those Bill of Rights constitutional rights, happen to be violated by a treaty...

I would just ask that we know that there are negotiations according to your letter that took place between the Department of Justice, the USDA, and representatives of the Black farmers.

I will submit that authority only exists to resolve all outstanding Pigford claims and cap them within $100 million.

How many Mexicans do you estimate have died because of the weapons that have been sent to Mexico?
Dec 7, 2011
Do you have a sense, or an estimate, or data on the numbers of Mexicans that have been killed or homicide investigations that have brought about deaths where there have been weapons used that are from Fast and Furious in Mexico?

I would like to turn quickly to Mr. Stana and wouldn't want to let you leave this hearing without getting asked one last question before you go off into retirement.
Dec 6, 2011
Do you think it might be a good idea for this Congress to come back and revisit that and perhaps draw that distinction so it would be easier for the prosecutorial discretion appliers to determine between a dangerous and a nondangerous visa…
Dec 6, 2011
I think this Administration has taken it as far as any I have seen, at least with regard to immigration.
Dec 6, 2011
Mr. Heyman, would you be more comfortable if Congress actually granted prosecutorial discretion and defined the difference between visa overstay people according to who is a risk and who isn't?
