This is a bad deal for Israel and a bad deal for the United States.

I wouldn't have been able to go to college without them, so I recognize how important these programs are.

We have made peace less likely. This is a flawed appeasement deal that gave away too much to Iran.

I am pleased today to rise to honor the life of a great Hoosier, one of Indiana's finest public servants, Representative Andy Jacobs. I didn't know Andy as well as some of my other Hoosier colleagues, but I met him several times during his…

There has been a lot of talk today about the importance of unemployment benefits. The truth is that too many Americans are out of work. But my constituents don't just need jobs; they need good-paying jobs. The President touts the job gains…

I thank the gentleman from Georgia for yielding me time. I rise in support of the bipartisan budget act, the underlying rule, and Chairman Ryan's hard work. This isn't a perfect deal, but it is better than the alternative. This bill…

I am a product of Pell Grants, could not have gone to college--graduated from Wabash College--without Pell Grants.

The federal financial aid system is one of the great success stories in the history of the federal government.

We now have to move from a system that provides access alone to one that incents success.

Thank you. Once again, I appreciate the gentleman's leadership. I appreciate your longstanding leadership on this important issue and your longtime leadership in Texas as well. As you have said, nobody wants to say, ``I told you so,'' but…

Again, I thank the gentleman. Thank you for your leadership. As we have talked about before, the American people needed health care reform before the disaster of ObamaCare rolled out. Obviously, we need it now more than ever given the…

Thank you very much. For months, the President has unilaterally enacted modifications, repeals, and delays to his own law, yet none of those so-called ``fixes'' have fixed this flawed law. Health care costs have continued to skyrocket…

Thank you. I certainly appreciate the gentleman and his leadership. I am sure you have been asked by many, both privately and publicly, the same thing that I have been asked, which is: Aren't you just really rooting for ObamaCare to fail…

I certainly appreciate the gentleman from Louisiana and his leadership. I know you were quoted over the weekend on FOX News by George Will describing the tragic circumstances that most Americans see themselves in, those that have lost…

Once again today the President said to the American people, if you like your health care plan, you can keep it--at least for 1 more year, if you're lucky. The problem is saying something many times does not magically make it come true…

In Indiana, where I am from, we have had in recent days reported that 701 Hoosiers have signed up on the Affordable Health Care Act exchanges, and 108,000 are going to lose their health care plan.

I think it highlights a very important issue with what I would say is the unintended consequences of the Affordable Care Act.

I certainly understand the importance of the federal student loan program; I am very much a product of the federal student loan and student financial aid program.

And sadly for many students, if you--leave with tens of thousands of dollars in debt and have no degree then you are, by definition, much worse off because you don't have a better economic opportunity and you have a lot of debt.

I think reforms that drive us towards completion are at least something we ought to give strong consideration.

``If you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan.'' That is what the President said in 2009, but now NBC News is reporting that this administration knew for at least 3 years that that wasn't true. Now millions of…

I want to thank my colleague and friend from Illinois, Congressman Davis, for his incredible leadership on this issue. I know of nobody in Congress who is working harder for the American family farmer than Congressman Davis. This Special…

Irish leader Henry Boyle once said: The most important trip you can make in life is meeting people halfway. Unfortunately, in this debate, the President and Harry Reid's latest offers are way short of halfway. They won't even come to the…

There is a lot we disagree on around here. By now virtually every American knows that we disagree on ObamaCare. We ought not allow what divides us to stop us from coming together on issues where we all agree. There is nothing political…

President Obama is willing to negotiate with Syria's dictator. The President made a phone call last week to open negotiations with Iran's new leader. But yesterday, the President held a press conference in the Rose Garden to talk about why…
