I would argue that what you are trying to make it out to be is not correct, and that even though it appears, whether it is the Republicans in the House, whether Chairman Ryan's budget comes out, what number they come out with, will result…

As an examiner if he would have come in a previous shift and saw that that was improper, he would have reported that up.

I think that some states have done that, and that is, I think, a good idea.

Would you admit that that is a relatively poor indicator of overall employment?

As a cardiothoracic surgeon, I stand here today to voice my concern about the impending cuts to the Medicare program. I implore the Congress to craft a multiyear fix to the SGR-- ideally, a permanent fix. This is a real threat to seniors…

I think all of us would agree that we all want clean water, clean air.

We are serving in our oversight role as Congress, getting information... to make sure that the federal government is being effective and efficient.

I want to make sure that we have an efficient and effective government, and programs in the government.

I think everyone in the room can see today why we are way behind on everything, because the Federal Government doesn't seem to have the ability to prioritize anything.

We are continuing to try to fund everything, when we have critical things that we need to fund.

I do believe we can do more with less if we prioritize and recognize that some of the extravagant vacations that we want to spend it on, we can't do that right now.

The fact of the matter is about 65 percent of the American people want us to be having this discussion about the Affordable Care Act.

The Obama administration is again trying to put in place their ideological agenda they could not get through a Democratic-controlled Congress.

The American people should take note again of the administration using unelected officials to change the laws of the land.

What we are really talking about here is an overreaching and ideologically slanted NLRB.

I don't like it when people use buzz words to try to get people's attention, and cancer is one of those.

I haven't seen one patient that has got it from silica dust.

the administration could not push through card check and other anti-worker legislation through the 111th Congress.

Thank you, Mr. Kline. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about jobs. The first thing I want to do is correct this ridiculous notion that this bill causes jobs to go overseas. I would argue it does just the opposite. Just like Dr. Roe, I…

Thank you, Chairman Kline. Mr. Chairman, first let me thank Representative Hunter, Chairman Kline, Ranking Member Miller, and others for their hard work and leadership on this legislation. I rise today as a cosponsor of H.R. 2218, the…

Here we are on the verge of a financial meltdown, and my friends on the other side of the aisle are worried about politics. They are here today worried about protecting the President from having to do his job: lead. The Republicans in the…

I'm gratified by the broad support the bill has won from major veterans' service organizations.

Thank you, Dr. Roe, for yielding. I was a cardiothoracic surgeon just recently, last year, prior to coming to Congress. I helped patients and their families make informed decisions regarding the care they needed or the care their loved…

I feel exactly the same way, Dr. Roe. For me, again, I've never seen a Democrat or a Republican patient. I see a patient. In fact, in my practice as a heart surgeon, frequently, I didn't even know what type of health care coverage that…

I have a great deal of respect for the workers and their ability to hold their unions accountable.
