You would think from the discussion here today that maybe 50 percent, 60 percent, 70 percent of today's workers are unionized.

I was thankful every single day that I went to work that I had a union watching out for me.

It is bizarre, it is obscene in a way, that folks go to work every day sometimes in dangerous industries, and because of the lack of protections, they don't come home.

the Department of Justice did was authorize criminal activity to allow folks that they knew--they knew these 20 dealers were buying hundreds of guns...

There has to be some accountability here.

If I could, I would like to try to put the political part of this aside and really out of respect for Agent Brian Terry and his family...

I thank the gentleman. This is another in a series of legislative attacks that have targeted our Federal workers throughout the 112th Congress. It will further erode employee morale and diminish the Federal Government's ability to attract…

I thank the gentleman. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 3835, which would extend the current-year pay freeze for Federal workers for an additional year through 2013. This will be the third year of a pay freeze. Similar to…

On rollcall votes 927 and 928, had I been able to vote, I would have voted ``aye'' on both votes. ____________________

I certainly think that recent revelations have created doubt in the integrity of the whole process here.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I come before you as an ironworker for 18 years before coming to Congress. I actually practiced before the National Labor Relations Board, and I've actually represented a number of unions in election…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this rule and to the underlying bill, H.R. 3094, the so-called Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act. Since the start of the 112th Congress, a certain faction…

I thank the gentleman from Michigan for yielding. The only thing I have agreed with so far in tonight's debate from the other side is that America's credibility is on the line. I really do believe that. We've had 2,697 trade unionists…

I just want to respond to those statements. It is a simple case; I agree with that part. And Boeing is a good company, a good American company. But in this case, if you read the facts of the case, their management made multiple threats to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, I just want to point out and clarify a few points that have been made here this morning. Regarding the Boeing case, this is a clear overreach into the decision of the National…

I honestly believe at this point that corruption, corruption is a greater enemy and a greater threat to Afghanistan stability than the Taliban.

It is important that we foster an environment in which investment advisers and broker-dealers can continue to help investors grow their money wisely.

I just want to say, as Republicans are rallying to the ramparts to save the millionaires from suffering from any loss of a tax loophole, I take a full measure of pride at where the Democrats in this House are standing on this issue. I urge…

I believe that this would be a step in the entirely wrong direction.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I want to thank you for holding this hearing and also want to welcome our witnesses in coming forward to help this committee with its work.

In light of its vital role, the Thrift Savings Plan merits continued and careful oversight by our subcommittee so that we can better ensure that our Federal employees and service members are afforded the tools necessary to maximize their…

I want to thank the gentleman for yielding and for his advocacy on behalf of the American consumer. The Dodd-Frank Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with the sole purpose of ensuring that financial markets work for, and…

We got to figure out a way to get this ship back on course.

I think we have 38,000 post offices in the United States today. How many do you think we really need?

Change is painful. People hate change. I understand that.
