The Public Record
I thank the gentleman from Minnesota for his hard work on this topic. Mr. Speaker, Hoosiers continue to suffer under the negative impacts of ObamaCare each and every day. Despite the House keeping its promise to repeal this disastrous law…
Every year, middle class seniors are forced to pay billions in taxes on their Social Security benefits. This tax is fundamentally not fair and penalizes folks who have paid into the system their entire lives. There is a better way. We…
I want to thank my colleague from Kentucky for his leadership and my colleague from Indiana for his leadership on this legislation as well. Mr. Speaker, from day one, President Trump's message to North Korea has been clear: the U.S. will…
We have an incredible opportunity to pass tax cuts for the American people. I appreciate President Trump's leadership on this issue as well as the leadership of Chairman Brady in working to pass the President's tax plan. While we are…
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Our Nation has long recognized that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, chief…
I want to thank my coauthor on this bill, Congresswoman Maloney, for her great leadership on this legislation, as well as Chairman Huizenga, Chairman Hensarling, Ranking Member Waters, and the entire Financial Services Committee team for…
The Federal Government's first duty is to protect its citizens. For too long, dangerous gangs like MS-13 have exploited our Nation's immigration laws and made our communities less safe. Hoosiers are tired of it, and it is well past time to…
I appreciate the chairman and his extraordinary leadership on this important topic. I rise today to urge support for this broad, bipartisan reform package which expands and modernizes the GI Bill to better serve our military families. The…
I thank the gentleman for his leadership. Congress' most important job is to provide for the national defense of this country. Yet, during the past 6 years, America's military resources have been downsized and slashed. Today, Congress is…
Most Americans get it. Frankly, it is just common sense. We can't continue to reward folks who come to our country illegally while those who work hard and play by the rules struggle to get ahead. It is way past time to fix our broken…
I appreciate the gentleman's leadership on this important issue. Mr. Speaker, our veterans deserve high-quality healthcare. They have earned it. That is why I rise today to urge support of S. 1094, the Veterans Affairs Accountability and…
Despite the rhetoric and whatever its intentions, since Dodd-Frank's passage, big bank profits are shattering records, and home ownership is down, way down, to the lowest level seen in over 20 years. Car loans and small-business loans are…
On the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem and on behalf of Hoosiers from Indiana's Sixth Congressional District, I rise today to send my prayers and best wishes to the Jewish state. It is our hope that the special…
May is an important month for Hoosiers. We celebrate Indiana's great racing tradition, the Indianapolis 500, and our longstanding military tradition on Memorial Day and during Military Appreciation Month. There are almost half a million…
Despite the rhetoric on the other side of the aisle, today is an exciting day for those of us who have been working and fighting to end ObamaCare's reign over this country. It is race month in Indiana, and I want to remind my colleagues…
For generations our Nation has celebrated the American Dream. I call it the American promise, the simple idea that if you work hard, you will be rewarded. The American promise means that, if you show up for work every morning and play by…
Congress is leaving for Easter break with work undone. For 7 years, we have told the American people that we would repeal ObamaCare and replace it with something better, and we have legislation that provides that opportunity. It is not a…
Hoosiers don't like ObamaCare, and they have worked hard for 6 years to stop it: electing a Republican House majority, a Republican Senate majority, and, eventually, President Trump, all on the promise to repeal and replace this failed…
I appreciate the opportunity to come here to the floor and talk about what is really happening under the Affordable Care Act, better known by the American people as ObamaCare. I just left a meeting with the President of the United States…
Income share agreements are not the answer for everybody, but I think they are the answer for more people than are currently being served by them now.
My amendment is simple. It would require an executive agency to report any new rule or regulatory action that would duplicate or otherwise overlap with existing agency rules and regulations. So much of government's excess is created by…
The Federal Government should not fund abortions, and it should not force States to fund them either. That is one reason this body recently voted to make the Hyde amendment permanent and governmentwide. The vast majority of Americans…
It's wrong, and it's long past time that we do something about it in America.
