The largest abortion provider in America should not also be the largest recipient of Federal funding under title X. Today, with the support of more than 120 of my colleagues, I introduced the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act. I am…

Welcome to the 112th Congress. While there was much pomp and ceremony this week in welcoming all of the new Members to the House of Representatives, this week belonged to the American people. The American people sent a deafening message on…

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office now confirms that families will see their health care premiums reduced by up to 10 percent, and hardworking taxpayers can expect deficits to decrease by $68 billion over the next decade.

Only in Washington, D.C., can you spend $1 trillion and say you're going to save the taxpayers money.

Mr. Speaker, since last summer, I've been among those voices in this Congress calling for action to prevent a tax increase that would affect every American just a few short weeks from now. So I rise with a heavy heart today to say that as…

Since last summer, I have urged this Congress to take action to prevent a tax increase that would affect every American in January of next year. So I rise with a heavy heart this morning to simply announce to my colleagues that I believe…

We are a Nation at war. We have soldiers that are in harm's way at this hour, forward deployed, at Bagram and Helmand province, places I visited just a few short weeks ago. This is an issue exclusively that is about recruitment, readiness…

Federal spending's out of control.

The American people spoke in deafening terms.

Earmarks have become emblematic of everything that is wrong with spending.

Jobs should be job one in this Congress and the next. Full employment must be the objective of policymakers in Washington, D.C. But after years of runaway spending, borrowing and stimulus, it's clear--and the American people know it--we…

Earmarks have become emblematic of everything wrong with spending.

Moratorium on any earmark request.

2 weeks ago today, the American people registered a historic rejection of American liberalism and the agenda of this administration and this Congress. The American people said in deafening terms that they are tired of the borrowing and the…

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the rule, not just for what's in it but for what's not in it. This rule will allow a vote on three separate pieces of legislation, none of which will allow the Republicans and Democrats in Congress, who…

The American people are hurting in the city and on the farm. Our economy continues to struggle. Unless Congress acts before the end of this year, every American will see a tax increase--every single one. That's why I rise in disbelief with…

The American people are hurting. In the city and on the farm, families are struggling in the midst of the worst recession in 25 years. Coming home to me especially today, Madam Speaker, because at this very hour more than a thousand…

I can't even tell you that this bill is over the budget because not only have we spent the entire summer not appropriating the Federal budget, as Congress is obligated to do, but the Democrat majority didn't even pass a budget. Didn't even…

Thomas Jefferson said, ``When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.'' Make no mistake about it, there is fear in the air. Now elitists in Washington, DC, would have us…

18 months into this administration, one thing is clear: the economic policies of this administration and this liberal Democratic Congress have failed. Nearly 15 million Americans are unemployed. Unemployment hovers near a heart-breaking 10…

This is a difficult time in the life of our Nation. The American people are focused on jobs. But given the recent political rhetoric from the White House and what we just heard about letting tax cuts expire, one thing is clear: Democrats…

In the worst economy in a quarter of a century, American families are hurting. Businesses are struggling in the city and on the farm. And that's obvious to almost everyone in this country, except the Obama administration. Remarkably…

The reality is that we have got to bring new ideas to bear on this economy. The American people know what's necessary to get this economy moving again. It's fiscal discipline in Washington, D.C., and it's fast-acting, across the board tax…

Federal spending is out of control, and the American people know it. $13 trillion national debt, a $1.4 trillion deficit this year, an 84 percent increase in nondefense discretionary spending since this administration took office. The…

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to the conference report for H.R. 4173, the so-called ``Restoring American Financial Stability Act.'' ... This legislation will kill jobs by restricting access to credit, it will kill jobs by raising taxes…
