Federal spending is out of control, and the American people know it. Our Nation is facing a fiscal crisis of epic proportions. In the past 5 years, Federal spending has climbed from a historic average of 20 percent of the American economy…
From the town halls in August of last year to the voting booths of Massachusetts, the American people have spoken. The American people don't want a government takeover of health care. Despite the President's latest polished pitch…
Well, tomorrow the White House will convene a so-called summit on health care reform. It's supposedly an effort to find bipartisan agreement and consensus on reform. And frankly, if the administration and Democrats in Congress were willing…

When it comes to more borrowing, more spending, more taxes, more bailouts, more government takeovers, I think the majority of Americans want us to say no.
It's been 1 year since the Democrats passed their so-called stimulus bill, and 1 year later, one thing is clear: the stimulus bill has failed. This has even been tacitly acknowledged by the leadership of the Democratic Party here in…
It's time for a little bit of truth-telling about their side and about our side. Truth-telling about our side is that back when we were in charge, we didn't do so well on controlling runaway Federal spending. My colleagues who know me well…
The Auschwitz concentration camp serves as a tragic reminder of the millions of innocent men, women and children who lost their lives in the Holocaust. Yet it also is a standing testament to all those who risked their own lives to defeat…
When I look at the President's budget for fiscal year 2011, I think about what Albert Einstein said one time. He said that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the very definition of insanity. Well…

Tonight, the President of the United States will return to this well of Congress and deliver his report on the state of the Union, and House Republicans welcome the President back to the people's House. Now we've heard that after a year of…
If you are concerned about runaway Federal spending and a rising national debt, you won't find a lot of comfort in today's headlines. After passing a government takeover of health care costing over $1 trillion and a budget that will triple…
The American people want health care reform that will lower the cost of health insurance and lower the cost of health care. But the American people don't want a government takeover of health care.

This is a government takeover of health care. The American people don't want it.
Unemployment is at 9.8 percent. God forbid it may well go over 10 percent before we get through these difficult times.
We can't borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy.

Today Congress will begin to consider, under the guise of stimulus, what will amount to the largest spending bill since the Second World War. As millions of Americans have come to realize, this spending bill is not so much about creating…
