In December, and again in May, this House passed legislation to extend a set of expiring tax provisions providing billions of dollars in tax relief to millions of American families. That tax bill passed the House and has been stymied in…

I stand in full support of this emergency legislation that will restore the safety net to millions of American families. Those families have been waiting for this relief since June. Their faith in us has been tested, but today we are going…
I stand in support of this job-creating legislation. This legislation before us today is going to advance American manufacturing competitiveness in an increasingly global economy, and it furthers our goal of doubling exports over the next…
I want to join all of you in wishing Social Security a happy 75th birthday. Social Security and Medicare are two of the most successful legislative accomplishments in the history of the world. But not everyone in this body is celebrating…
Some of the best speeches that I have ever listened to and/or read come from the legendary mayor of Boston, James Michael Curley. And Curley spoke with great empathy about the forgotten man, those individuals who for whatever reason have…
We had an opportunity yesterday to witness another it-will-never-happen moment. Thirty-eight years after 13 unarmed men and women were shot dead on the streets of Derry in the north of Ireland, on a day now known as Bloody Sunday, the…
Mr. Speaker, I stand in support of this small business bill before us today. In addition to the several tax breaks that Mr. Levin has pointed out, the bill will create a lending fund for our community banks to crop into. That's perhaps the…
NRF strongly supports H.R. 2452, bipartisan legislation introduced by Representatives Richard Neal and Pat Tiberi.
I thought it was really on target, and like many as I come across data in the last few weeks, I was surprised to hear that there were 50,000 previously undisclosed bank accounts that UBS held by U.S. taxpayers.
I sincerely hope our efforts today will remain focused on the issues of compliance.
Steps that undermine our international standing could threaten key information exchanges and invite unintended consequences that could do significant harm to our economy's capital markets.
I think we all are in agreement here today that criminal tax evasion should be pursued aggressively and punished.
This will be our first hearing to address the troublesome issue of international tax avoidance.
The Massachusetts' model has drawn a considerable amount of attention everywhere. The end result is 97 percent, I think, of the citizens of Massachusetts are now covered under the Pioneering plan.
To talk about bipartisanship, a Massachusetts Democrat and the Heritage Foundation, it is a winner.
I am pretty happy with the fact that Massachusetts has kind of led the way on how to proceed in the health care debate.
One of the verdicts that emerged from the last election was that we ought to proceed with our faith in science and how important that is to the debate on climate change.
I must tell you I swore to myself I was going to resist what I'm about to say until I heard the term ``bailout.'' The minute I heard the term ``bailout,'' I thought to myself the speed with which the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury…
One of the reasons I like Mr. McCrery is because I think he's one of the smartest guys that serves here in this institution, and let me just say this. I agree with what he said. If you stop 23 million people from getting a tax increase…
The Republican Party once again proposes to borrow the money to pay for tax relief. We intend to pay for tax relief.
One thing I agree with the previous speaker on, that the American people are going more in the hole; and when they feel what is happening to student aid and cutbacks in scholarship money because of the Republican majority, they are going…
