That is an excellent idea I guess we would expect from the administration, but, fundamentally, that is favoritism. That is picking who gets to believe what. And as previous colleagues talked about escaping, immigrants that came to this…

This budget takes the latter approach. It represents a very clear threat to the health and retirement security for American seniors.

And honestly, I hope you are right, but you are 5.4 million jobs wrong.

Why has he decided to base his reelection strategy on dividing Americans for political gain, in our estimation?

It didn't work in your stimulus package, and I don't think it is going to work again.

This is no plan to restrain spending, to grow the economy, and, most of all, it is no plan to save us from a debt-fueled crisis.

There is a growing bipartisan consensus on contentious issues like entitlement spending and tax reform.

What do I tell my veterans, Mr. Secretary, when they say, 'You know, we would like to attend our local hospital...'

When does the president's proposal actually reduce the debt on America?

But the president does not propose to ever actually balance the budget, is that correct?

When I visit with constituents, they are worried about a deficit, but more importantly, they are worried about the debt.

I am very troubled by the mandates that have been proposed about religious organizations.

Today I rise in support of H.R. 3581, the Budget and Accounting Transparency Act. The first step in treating an addiction is admitting you have a problem. An addict has to be honest with himself before he can overcome his dependence. In…

We are here to do one thing and one thing only, that is to make sure that we take care of our troops.

As I have traveled across the First District of Kansas to host more than 70 in-person town hall meetings during my first 10 months here in Congress, constituents have reaffirmed our shared belief that Washington cannot be everything to…

I appreciate the opportunity to visit with you on the floor today. Every day that goes by without these agreements is a missed opportunity. Hundreds of missed opportunities have passed because of years of delay, which is why we cannot…

I would say I am particularly angry at what has occurred and I am angry about things that occurred in my district, complaints that have come to my attention and the absolute failure of the VA to respond to those complaints.

There is not transparency in this particular situation, it is a very troubling incident and the idea that we can talk here about holding people accountable and responsible, but we can't even get accurate information, it certainly seems…

I appreciate the gentleman from Kentucky yielding to me on this very important legislation. At a time when 25 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed, the last thing Washington needs to be doing is making it more difficult to…

I appreciate the gentleman from New York yielding to me. I do support this resolution. Here in this Chamber--actually, here in America--we often talk about achievements in terms of metrics: the larger, the better. For a private company…

Today I rise on behalf of the Republican Study Committee to offer an amendment to bring the Interior appropriations bill in line with the RSC budget. Mr. Chairman, credit rating agencies around the country are threatening to downgrade our…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 2, line 20, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $70,000,000)''. Page 4, line 6, after the dollar amount…
