Let's go back to October of 1929 when the stock market crashed and it launched the Great Depression rather than the Great Recession. We saw a downward spiral in the value of that Dow Jones Stock Exchange and the other shares that were not…

I have been troubled for some time not just the influence that comes out of Goldman Sachs, but the influence that comes out of Wall Street. Here is my concern and here how it was internalized. I lived much of my life watching from a…

Mr. Speaker, I come here to the floor tonight to talk about a range of issues. Perhaps if I would pick up on the financial side of this and go through a list of some of the things that have happened that I think contributed to the 'Great…

A ``secured creditor'' would be someone who holds collateral, which is a guaranty that's behind the bond. I'm going to say that it includes, perhaps, real property, which could be the actual factory, itself. It could be the equipment…

But under current value and current dollars, a child born today, for being a natural-born American citizen, their share of the national debt is $44,000. That's like here's your mortgage, sign here with your little ink footprint when you're…

One of the important studies was done not that long ago by Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation. He's done a couple of very important studies in the last 2 years. One of them was the level of welfare that's here in the country. I…

I remember it now when you say it. $44,000. And now I think in terms of, if you have all the free time in the world to do whatever it is you want to do and you have rent subsidy and heat subsidy and food stamps and the refundable child…

Reclaiming my time, I think it might be useful for the gentlelady and I to go through this list of things that have happened about the nationalization. Because if I look at the dialogue in the country, we've carried this dialogue, I think…

We have joined together in the introduction of legislation to repeal ObamaCare, to pull it out root and branch, lock, stock, and barrel, to eliminate ObamaCare so there is not one vestige of ObamaCare DNA left behind that could reproduce…

Well, and they decided who would get the credit on home loan mortgages based upon the cash flow of the welfare check. And it didn't work out so well. That's one of the examples. I am standing here thinking about this. Where would they…

I appreciate your indulgence this evening and the opportunity to address you here on the floor of the House. Not having had the opportunity to listen to the dialogue of the previous people, I will take this up where the front of my mind…

I appreciate being recognized to address you here on the floor of the House. And I remind you, Mr. Speaker, that these deliberations here represent the most deliberative body in the world. And that's the argument that we've made for years…

We want a smaller government, not a larger government. We want a constitutional government. The number one priority that's being asked of us is to cite the sections of the Constitution that grant us the authority in every bill we introduce…

It's a privilege and honor to have the opportunity to address you here on the floor of the House of Representatives. This is tax day, April 15. This is the day that there are a lot of bleary eyes from people that have stayed up way into…

My goal is to inspire people to stand up for the Constitution, to stand up for fiscal responsibility and stand up for the rule of law.

I very much appreciate being able to address you here on the floor of the United States House of Representatives and what has been referred to in the past as the world's greatest deliberative body--and what has to struggle to reach that…

I do not believe that we're going to be forgetting this, nor will we be backing off. The first order of business this morning issued a bill draft request to repeal this legislation that passed the House last night, the Senate version of…

I listened to this discussion, and what I get out of this is one thing: this national health care bill doesn't play in Peoria. I mean, Peoria where the national headquarters of Caterpillar are. The world's largest heavy equipment…

It's my privilege to be recognized here on the floor and address you as we watch this Nation lurch forever forward toward their version of socialized medicine. It's astonishing to me to think that the people on the other side of the aisle…

I thank the gentlelady from Minnesota for this presentation tonight and for many more that have gone in the past and more that are in front of us before such time as we can put this monstrosity deep into a hole where it belongs for at…

The President has promised the American people a whole string of things. He's promised that he won't sign a bill that costs over $900 billion. He's promised that the negotiations--eight times on national television he said negotiations…

This bill does fund abortion. And ever since 1973, the argument has been made by people on this side of the aisle, women and men both, consistently and relentlessly, that the Federal Government has no business telling a woman what she can…

I'm pleased to be here with the Doctors Caucus and the friends that have done battle with me and others here in this Congress and across this country to kill this idea of taking over our health care and establishing socialized medicine…

Well, depending on what the President wants. We can't hardly go by what he says. So I think he is closer to the Senate than he is to the House because he served in the Senate. But I think the answer is probably, yes, but we have to qualify…

But you keep throwing things into this stew to try to add up the flavor to it and make it more attractive so that people will taste it. And eventually, no matter what you put in that pot of that toxic stew, it still started with a tainted…
