50 percent of the businesses in the oil and gas industry have laid off workers as a result of your policies.

The biggest complaint that they have is that under the rules they have already seen, let alone the rules that haven't been written, they don't see how they are going to be able to comply with the law.

I call it crony capitalism because it was a lot of the people who supported the law found out about it.

One of the big promises that President Obama made was if you like what you have, you can keep it.

We want to repeal it, get rid of the higher costs, get rid of the broken promises and the lost health care.

Medicare will go bankrupt in less than 12 years, and this is the current law of the land.

$500 billion was raided from Medicare by the President's law.

The biggest complaint that they give when they talk about the things that are keeping them from hiring people right now, keeping them from creating jobs, is the President's health care law.

The cost has doubled since the original estimates.

You are not for all-of-the-above if you say no to Keystone and so many other things that we have seen him say no to.

We have done a lot of things in this committee not only to increase the supply in America.

I know we have seen projections that on the low end there would be 20,000 new jobs created.

I think most people recognize that supply does have a factor in price.

Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.

Actual production on Federal lands, which the President has control over through his Department of Interior, is down 11 percent.

I would suggest instead of going to Saudi Arabia and asking them to increase production, go to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and ask the President to reverse his policies that have reduced production in America and made gas prices higher.

He has bowed down to their prince and, you know, he has begged them for more oil.

The President has implemented a policy that has actually reduced American energy production and supply.

Imagine it is better to do business in Egypt than in America because of the President's policies.

We have lost about a dozen deepwater rigs, billion-dollar-plus assets that have left the Gulf of Mexico because they can't get permits because of the President's own policies.

The President has put policies in place that have gotten us now to $4 a gallon almost in gasoline prices.

The President is trying to shut down through the EPA.

In the Gulf of Mexico it is down 17 percent.

The President has recently started talking about an all-of-the-above energy strategy.

You know, back in 2008 Barack Obama said that he would prefer a 'gradual adjustment to near $4 a gallon gasoline.'
