One of the most effective ways the United States has disrupted terrorists in the past has been to cut off their financing.

I thank Chairman Shuster for bringing the Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach and Protection Act to this body. Mr. Chairman, this administration has continually tried to expand the role of the Federal Government in the…
With the anniversary of 9/11 just a few days away, we are reminded not only of the enormous loss of innocent life and physical destruction that terrorism can bring, but also the long-term, economic harm that follows an attack. As we have…
I thank the gentleman from Kentucky for his dedication and hard work in finding a solution to a problem that none of us created here in this Chamber. I rise today in strong support of this supplemental appropriations bill for the crisis…
Dodd-Frank has failed in bailouts and failed to lift the economy, as the President promised.
Today I rise out of an overwhelming concern for young people and children in Central America. President Obama has a habit of saying to Americans, ``Let me be clear.'' I wish desperately he would be clear with the thousands of Central…
It is critical that we preserve Americans' confidence in the objectivity of their central bank for the 21st Century and beyond. That is why the Fed must adopt a rules-based approach to monetary policy and focus on the long term.
I rise this Memorial Day week in honor of the brave men and women who have selflessly given their lives for this Nation and the millions of veterans to whom our country owes a debt of gratitude. Sadly, Mr. Speaker, we have recently learned…
I thank Congressman Price and the Budget Committee for their hard work in trying to give Members of this body better information. Families and small businesses back home didn't need to read today's jobs report to know that this isn't the…
I thank Congressman Young for his hard work. ObamaCare is waging a war on work. ObamaCare's 30-hour rule gives employers an awful choice: cut hours or pay new taxes. Fort Wayne Community Schools, our State's largest school district…
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I come to the floor to support H.R. 2824, the Preventing Government Waste and Protecting Coal Mining Jobs in America Act. I thank my colleagues Congressman Johnson and Chairman Doc Hastings for their hard work and…
I come to the floor in strong opposition to the farm bill conference report. The farm bill is just more business as usual here in Washington. Last summer, the American people won an important victory for common sense and transparency when…
I thank the gentlelady for yielding and for her hard work on this very important issue. Madam Speaker, I am humbled to join my pro-life colleagues here on the House floor and, more importantly, the millions of pro-life Americans across the…
It is about equality. It is about equality for our privately insured credit unions to have the same opportunities as other financial institutions.
Millions of Americans find themselves in the heartbreaking situation of losing their health care plans thanks to a broken promise that the White House is not scrambling to try and fix. Hoosiers like Jared from Woodburn, Indiana, were told…
The American people can ill afford the inflation, debt, and insecurity that this misguided approach threatens.
I remain troubled at the Fed's bloated balance sheet and I remain unconvinced that there is a viable exit strategy from the Fed's policy of quantitative easing.
I have authored a bill, the FFOCUS Act, which eliminates the Fed's dual mandate in order to focus on price stability.
I want to thank my friend from Indiana (Mr. Young) for introducing this resolution. This is about communicating with the American people. I am not quite sure what to say after the last speaker, who said he was a partisan Democrat, would…
I thank the gentleman. As I mentioned, Admiral Mike Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2011, after the last debt ceiling discussion in July and August of 2011, said that the debt was the greatest threat to our national…
As I have said in the past, it is important that Congress examine the CFPB at every opportunity, particularly given that there are still considerable structural challenges at this agency.
This agency has been given some of the broadest, most unchecked authorities in the history of our Federal Government.
First, I would like to thank the gentlewoman for yielding and organizing this Special Order about solutions. That is what the American people expect from us as Congress, whether you are a Republican or whether you are a Democrat. The…
I thank the chairman. I want to also commend him for his hard work on the farm bill. Mr. Speaker, I know this has been a long and drawn-out process. Obviously, there are a lot of changes in agriculture, and also with the food stamp policy…
