Well, negotiations over the Nation's debt ceiling have reached an impasse. After more than 2 years in office, trillions of dollars in borrowing and spending and bailouts and takeovers, the President now says the failure to reach an…

Our Nation is facing a fiscal crisis of unprecedented proportions. We have a $14 trillion national debt, a $1.65 trillion annual spending deficit, and we borrow 42 cents for every dollar we spend. After years of borrowing and spending and…

We ought to look at what is the right thing to do for national security.

What we have in Hugo Chavez is a classic bully.

The extraditions are happening, not because of some great policy position or foreign policy by the U.S. Government.

Americans awoke this morning to the heartbreaking news that unemployment has increased to 9.1 percent. The U.S. economy added only 55,000 jobs in the last month. The American people are understandably concerned. But the numbers don't tell…

The pain at the pump is real. In this, the most difficult economy in the last 25 years, my constituents have gas prices on their mind, and with due cause: $4.18 a gallon average back in the Hoosier State, higher than the national average…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in strong support of H.R. 3, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. I believe that ending an innocent human life is morally wrong. But I also believe it's morally wrong to take the taxpayer…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. This country's in a lot of trouble. We're facing a fiscal crisis of unprecedented proportions. They say the first step toward ending an addiction is recognizing you're an addict. After spending 10 years…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I believe ending an innocent unborn human life is morally wrong. I also believe it's morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to subsidize the largest…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in support of the Department of Defense and Further Continuing Appropriations Act. This 1-week continuing resolution will fully fund the Department of Defense for the remainder of this fiscal year…

If liberals would rather play political games and shut down the government instead of making a small down payment on fiscal discipline and reform, I say shut it down.

If liberals in the Senate would rather play political games and shut down the government, instead of making a small down payment on fiscal discipline and reform, I say, shut it down.

The SOAR Act opens the schoolhouse door. It reopens the door for opportunities for these families and for their children in the District of Columbia. And I believe it was before a model for the Nation, and it can be so again. So I…

Abortion on demand is an American tragedy, but public funding for abortion and abortion providers is an American disgrace. Fortunately, we have never been closer to denying public funding to abortion providers in America than we are today…

I thank the distinguished chairman for yielding and for his leadership on this issue, which is near and dear to my heart, as it is to the hearts of thousands upon thousands of families in the District of Columbia. Mr. Speaker, I also rise…

With a $14 trillion national debt and a $1.65 trillion deficit this year alone, our Federal Government is facing a fiscal crisis of unprecedented proportions. With the passage of H.R. 1, House Republicans took an important first step…

With a $14 trillion national debt, a $1.65 trillion deficit this year alone, yesterday the United States Senate voted to reject the House effort to fund the government for the rest of the year. The Senate majority leader even took to the…

Two weeks ago, after 90 hours of debate, House Republicans in this majority passed a long-term funding resolution that found more than $100 billion in savings off the President's budget. It defunded their government takeover of health…

I want to continue to encourage and urge the administration to stand with those that are standing in that now-bifurcated country.

This Nation currently faces a $1.65 trillion deficit, $14 trillion national debt. And despite all the talk for the President's so-called fiscal discipline, this administration just proposed a budget that will add $12 trillion to that…

The economic impacts are devastating. The impact on the ecosystem broadly would be equally devastating, and so we join the gentleman from Michigan in calling for urgent action by this Congress and this administration. I just respectfully…

I believe that ending an innocent human life is morally wrong. But I rise tonight because I also believe it's morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use it to fund organizations that provide and…

I do rise today in opposition to the amendment offered by my friend and colleague, Mr. Camp, from Michigan. And let me say, I think I take a second chair to no one in my respect for the gentleman from Michigan. I respect his passion and…
