I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I call on my colleagues this afternoon to support this resolution, to further reform a harmful and unnecessary sugar program that puts 600,000 American manufacturing jobs at risk. Back…

Back home, Hoosiers know that we only solve problems by sitting down and talking. Unfortunately, President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refuse to join Republicans in the constructive, respectful dialogue that Washington…

It's time to fund the government. So far, House Republicans have passed four bills to fully fund the government. Since then, that wasn't enough for the Senate, and they shut the government down. On a bipartisan basis, we have passed bills…

I come to the floor today to share what I believe is a lack of cooperation in Washington, D.C. I come from Indiana as a farmer who served in the Indiana Legislature at times where we had divided government. My belief is that the only way…

It seems that only the American people can drag Harry Reid to the negotiating table. Back home, Hoosiers already know that Washington is fiscally broke; but today, after the Senate pushed this country into a shutdown, they also know that…

Almost 3\1/2\ years ago, many stood in this Chamber claiming to have made history by overhauling our Nation's health care laws and subjecting one-sixth of our economy to Federal control. The American people disagree. They understand that…

Today we have an opportunity to win a victory for common sense. For decades, business as usual has fostered an unholy alliance between food stamps and farm policy. Year after year, Washington spent money that it never had. This summer…

Hardworking Americans have called on Congress to stop ObamaCare. While they expect that Washington elites will deride their message and disparage their cause, they are here because they understand the consequences of ObamaCare's oppressive…

I would like to thank my colleague and friend from Georgia for yielding and for his hard work on this very important issue. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Harry Reid might have said that ObamaCare is wonderful for America, but Hoosiers back home aren't…

I do believe that if we would address those issues, the trajectory of our economy would change.

Thank you, Chairman Sessions, for yielding, and thank you for all of the hard work that you do in the Rules Committee. Mr. Speaker, I am a farmer. I love to farm. It's in my blood. I farmed before I came to Congress, and I'll farm when I…

As a fourth-generation farmer, I know firsthand how important the farm bill is for farmers. I believe that we need a farm bill, but I also believe we need a responsible farm bill. Unfortunately, the bill passed out of the Rules Committee…

Schools across this country should be focused on educating our children; but, unfortunately, they're struggling because ObamaCare is forcing them to cut hours for part-time workers. In Indiana, hundreds of part-time workers, including…

I thank the gentleman from Arizona, and I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for their passion and also for their sharing with us today such an important issue that faces us as a country. It is a privilege and an honor to stand here with…

I rise on behalf of 600 people in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who are earning smaller paychecks today because of ObamaCare. Just last week, the largest school district in Indiana, Fort Wayne Community Schools, announced it would cut the hours of…

I can tell you, the American people are not trusting of this Administration right now.

I want to talk about what, really, I think is holding up the economy, and that is the health care law.

Do you think that the confidence level of the American people in the IRS... is going to be increased at all?

Some people may pat themselves on the back and say, well, we are making sure that we are not using their resources or their minerals, but we are only hurting the people of the Congo.

I just think that if we want to help make a difference in the Congo, the best thing to do is to be involved economically and to share our best practices, to share the system that we operate under with people there rather than really…

I thank the gentlelady for yielding. Mr. Speaker, life is hard. Across Indiana, moms and dads are working hard to make ends meet, and it's anything but easy. The national unemployment rate is 7.5 percent. More businesses are reducing…

Kermit Gosnell is a real-life Hannibal Lecter. Gosnell operated an abortion clinic that severed the necks of hundreds of babies and stuffed their bodies into freezers, plastic bags, and cat-food tins. Soon, a jury in Pennsylvania will…

Absolutely. I think that as Payton, our oldest, we've given him a bow and arrow, and he has his straw bales out in the back of the barn. And I think that any time he goes out, we always talk to him about look what's beyond your target and…

I thank the lady from Missouri for yielding. I brought my two sons, Payton and Preston, along today. So it's a father and son outing here. Payton asked if he could come along to hear us talk about the Second Amendment. We, of course, we're…

After decades of Washington irresponsibility, Americans are facing nearly $17 trillion of debt and struggling through a deficit-driven unemployment crisis. Unfortunately, this administration isn't offering solutions. Yesterday, President…
