We need your voices here with this tax bill, because even if we finally get around to doing the right thing on GSEs...

I really appreciate that comment, there are going to be more renters than homeowners.

You like the system the way it was before they met their excesses. You like the idea of a government backstop to mortgages.

In an effort to stay true to Chairman Hensarling's commitment to a balanced budget, I will continue to have the national debt clock up during my 5 minutes.

The Republican tax cut will add $150 billion to $200 billion.

I don't hate regulation. These are regulations in my opinion that are wrong-ended.

So their competitors should pay the cost. My God, it is as if my locksmith lost my key and he will provide a new lock to my front door.

The evidence over the last 15 years indicates that those companies that have successfully reduced their corporate tax rate into the 1-digit and maybe the 10-percent rate have done so--the result of having done so is to lay off thousands or…

Everybody that comes in and asks me for things from the Federal Government, every one of you has to be willing to pay your fair share in taxes.

There will be no money for infrastructure investment.
