Mike Pence

I don't think Congress should be in the business of picking winners and losers.

I am a very strong advocate of federalism.

I believe the moratorium on Internet taxation has been prudent and I have strongly supported it.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in support of H.J. Res. 2, a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This is a challenging time in the life of our Nation. Our economy is struggling under the failed economic…

We are borrowing money from China to give it to China to do stuff that the Chinese don't think is important enough to pay for.

There is a tremendous disconnect between a foreign policy establishment that runs our foreign policy and the American people who pay for it.

The idea that we would give foreign aid to China is an insult to the American taxpayer and shows an incredible lack of understanding of the new world by anyone who would suggest it.

I will be circulating a letter addressed to the Administrator of USAID, Dr. Shah or Mr. Shah, urging that he not provide foreign aid to China.

Well, with a national government seemingly incapable of confronting a mountain range of debt and a national media preoccupied with politics, I have to tell you, Mr. Speaker, as I travel across the State of Indiana, one thing is clear: In…

Later today the House will consider H.R. 2447, a bill awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to the Montford Point Marines, the first African Americans to serve in the United States Marine Corps. The United States of America owes these…

Got to tell you, this administration hasn't sought to transcend the politics of Washington, D.C. This has been the my way or the highway administration.

This administration hasn't sought to transcend politics of Washington, D.C. This has been the 'my way or the highway' administration.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, this is a difficult time in the life of our Nation-- 9.1 percent unemployment nationally, and millions of Americans families are hurting. And the American people are looking to Washington…

You know, in the midst of these rancorous and divided days in our Nation's Capital, there is a growing consensus across this country that Washington, D.C., isn't just broke, it's broken. With a $14 trillion national debt, the American…

Earmarks have become emblematic of everything that's wrong.

I am concerned that this wave of mergers may be a symptom of a deeper dysfunction in our health care economy created by the ill-conceived health care bill.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, this is a challenging time in the life of our country. Our economy is struggling; millions are out of work; and now, with a more than $14 trillion national debt, America is on the verge of…

Secondly, the agreement around the Budget Control Act also ensures that there will be a vote in this body now tomorrow and a vote in the United States Senate this fall on a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United…

As America watches and the world watches from afar, Washington, D.C., debates a debt ceiling increase and debates various proposals for confronting it in a manner that is consistent with our commitment to this generation and the next. For…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor to rise in support of the Budget Control Act of 2011, which is a negotiated compromise between the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and the…

This is a difficult time in the life of the people of this country. Families are hurting. Our economy is struggling. The economic policies of this administration have failed to turn around this Great Recession, as it has come to be known…

I was absent from the House floor during rollcall votes 615 and 622-629. Had I been present I would have voted ``no'' on 615, ``aye'' on 622, ``aye'' on 623, ``aye'' on 624, ``aye'' on 625, ``aye'' on 626, ``no'' on 627, ``no'' on 628, and…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise as a cosponsor and urge strong support of my colleagues for the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act, H.R. 2560. I really believe if you owe debts, pay debts. We must find a way to honor the…

It would be my expectation that we would not yield the jurisdiction of constitutionality exclusively to the judiciary. Throughout American history, it has mostly settled there, but we contain it as well. But ultimately it would put the…

America is facing a fiscal crisis of unprecedented proportions--a $14 trillion national debt, another $1.6 trillion deficit, and now a debt ceiling crisis looms. As negotiations go forward, Members of Congress have a choice to make. We can…
