I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for yielding, and I appreciate his efforts to bring this particular matter to the attention of the American people. I also want to thank the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Harris), who just spoke so…

It's hard for President Obama to find a solution when he doesn't understand the problem. This week, he told ABC News that he doesn't believe that our country faces a debt crisis. Yesterday, Senate Democrats outlined a budget that never…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I appreciate his hard work on this. Mr. Speaker, Hoosiers understand that welfare checks are not a substitute for paychecks. Last year, President Obama's administration really undermined commonsense…

Thank you to my friend from Indiana. This is, I believe, the fifth speaker from Indiana. Maybe we're getting something right in Indiana--I don't know what it is--but thank you for sharing this bill. We do have a balanced budget in Indiana…

I am extremely concerned about how this market manipulation invariably distorts private investment decisions.

President Obama's sequester will take effect tomorrow. Because of the President's irresponsibility of cutting just pennies of waste for every dollar Washington spends, the men and women of the 122nd Air National Guard in my district face…

This week, President Obama outlined his vision for America: job-killing tax hikes, a job-killing national energy tax, job-killing wage controls, and job-killing stimulus spending. Equally telling were the items that the President did not…

I think one of the big red flags is that the President is suggesting including money for FHA in his budget.

It seems that FHA is outside of its original charter, and a lot of that is due to the recession and the housing collapse.

But when you are asking for only 3.5 percent down, people are getting into homes very possibly that they just cannot afford.

Growing up back home on the farm in Indiana, we all knew that ``if you don't work, you don't eat.'' Unfortunately, that doesn't hold true if you're the majority leader in the United States Senate. It's been 4 years since Senate Majority…

I just find it unacceptable that we close services because we don't have staff in place.

It is hard to pick up a newspaper or access a news Web site that does not have a story about the difficulties facing veterans who are returning to the civilian workforce today.

I would offer that mandatory training must include those alternative paths and that forcing every servicemember to sit through three days of job hunting skills at the expense of training tailored to their post-discharge intentions is a…

I hope today's hearing has shed some light on the need to continue our oversight of TAP2. It is just too important.

I thank the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Bilirakis) for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 4057, as amended. This is a bipartisan bill that at its core will help our youngest group of veterans make more informed…

As a taxpayer, as a business owner, as an American watching this sort of or hearing about this sort of testimony, my confidence is really shaken.

We need another approach, perhaps a risk-based one that recertifies companies only when they are identified as a potential contract winner.

Several of the grounds cited by the CVE as a basis for denying the application for inclusion in the VetBiz VIP database are described in such generalized and ambiguous terms that the court is essentially left to guess as to the precise…

the time has come for the CVE to take a hard look in the mirror, dig down to the root of the problem, and fix it.

I thank the chairman for yielding and for his leadership on the Veterans' Affairs Committee. I rise in strong support for the Senate amendments to H.R. 1627. The bill is a product of many months of bipartisan work to improve the lives of…

I thank the gentleman from Texas as well as the gentleman from Missouri for their support today and for the committee supporting H.R. 3501. I would also like to thank each of the members of the Indiana delegation for their sponsorship of…

There are simply too many factors that cannot be anticipated when a servicemember deploys and communication is too difficult from war zones for banks and mortgage companies to be seizing and selling servicemembers' homes while they are off…

I agree completely with Congressman Cummings and the bill's co-sponsors that the home of any servicemember who is deployed should never be subject to foreclosure, judicial or nonjudicial, and regardless of when the mortgage was incurred.
