Protecting taxpayer dollars by keeping government out of tasks that the private sector can perform itself is central to a nation based on free enterprise.

I would say, please hurry. People are suffering under these things.

This debt crisis is a spending crisis. I have four children, and I refuse to stand by while Congress sacrifices their future.

Unfortunately, many of our Nation's policymakers are ignoring this crisis, despite its real consequences for Illinoisans and Americans.

I think the most important thing is to base this on science, not on public opinion polls.

I thank the chairman. My constituents in Illinois need this legislation. Our farmers and manufacturers, big and small, have voiced their clear support. Thank you to the sponsors of this legislation, Mr. Grimm and Mr. Peters.

Can you blame the American people for being dissatisfied with Washington? The most crucial issue facing our country is the need to create jobs and grow our economy, but what do the American people see? A government run amok. House…

Exascale computing represents a brave new world of science for our Nation.

Modify the `push-out' provision in the Dodd-Frank Act to ensure that federally insured financial institutions can continue to conduct risk-mitigation efforts for clients like farmers and manufacturers that use swaps to insure against price…

On December 8, 2012, ``Got Robot?'', FTC Team No. 5037, a group of high school students from Elgin, Illinois, won an award at the FIRST Tech Challenge Illinois State Tournament. Now ``Got Robot?'' will represent Illinois in the FIRST World…

My district includes the north and west suburbs of Chicago. Our area has the second highest percentage of commuters in the country. Many of my constituents currently receive employer-sponsored transit benefits for commuting costs like…

It is a privilege to be back here to work on some of the most pressing issues facing our Nation. The first time I ran for office was as grade school vice president in the fifth grade. Back then, I'm not sure what the most pressing issue…

On Monday I hosted a jobs fair in the western suburbs of Chicago with several of my colleagues. Over 1,500 jobseekers showed up. I've visited with more than 100 northern Illinois business owners since I entered Congress. In each factory…

Just briefly, Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of this amendment. It does make sense. It's a commitment to basic scientific research and fiscal accountability, and I urge support of the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 20, line 15, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $30,000,000)''. Page 26, line 2, after the dollar amount…

I want to thank my colleague from Iowa. It's now my privilege to yield to my good friend from Texas, Louie Gohmert.

Thank you, Mr. Aderholt. Now it's my privilege to recognize a good friend from Iowa, Congressman Steve King.

I want to thank my good friend and fellow Centurion. Thank you so much, Mike. I appreciate you being here. I yield to my other good friend, Robert Aderholt from Alabama.

I absolutely believe this is a devastating departure from what we have done historically, our commitment again to discovery.

Henry Hyde was a personal friend and mentor of mine. He first helped restrict abortion funding just 3 years after Roe v. Wade. Today, Planned Parenthood receives over 363 million tax dollars a year. We're giving 1 million tax dollars a day…

I was pleased to see that last week the Senate finally followed the House and passed one of our pro-growth bills; but while repealing the 3 percent withholding tax is a step in the right direction, it's not enough. We've sent them more…

I am absolutely convinced that a big part of getting this turned around again is getting innovation and entrepreneurship growing again.

It would be an incredible regulatory overreach for the CFTC to apply the definition of 'swap dealer' to rural electric cooperatives

I have been hearing from many of the co-ops in my district, heard from River Valley Cooperative in Geneseo and Patriot Renewable Fuels in Annawan, who are holding back with their business plans because of uncertainty while at the same time…

All it takes is for the President to assert some leadership and get the out-of-control EPA to stop its regulatory assault on American jobs.
