It is a commonsense bill, Mr. Speaker, such that if a bank teller speaks to one of his or her customers they have known for maybe decades, and the senior says, ``I would like to close my account and wire the proceeds overseas,'' this bank…
The missiles that I was referring to are very clear to the gentlewoman from California. They deal specifically with the Iran nuclear deal, which is a dangerous deal for this world and for this country. It has nothing to do with any issue…
The dangerous Iran nuclear deal that was put together a year and a half or 2 years ago has absolutely nothing to do with exposing the wealth that has cumulated through corruption by the top 70 to 80 Iranian political and military leaders…
To the gentlewoman from California and to the other side of the aisle, I do want to make sure I make a few things clear. First of all, I am not sure if it was the gentlewoman or someone else saying: Why in the dickens would we divert…
Is the standard of care at the VA the same standard of care that you should receive or a patient should receive at a non-VA hospital?
We are very concerned that we continue to make sure in the rural part of our country--where about 40 percent of our population lives, roughly--have access to the health care they have earned and they so deserve.
Confidence. We have business--out of 15-year business confidence at a 15-year high. We have consumers who are confident about the new direction for a growing economy with more jobs and fatter paychecks.
It looks like some of these folks acted--three in particular have been mentioned today--acted to sell their stock before the breach was announced, about a month before, to escape loss in the stocks that they own which is the stock in your…
You folks collect all the sensitive information and you sell it to banks and automobile dealers and what have you to make sure they get accurate credit reports and money can flow through the economy and families can buy homes and get…
I am also very concerned about the perception of wrongdoing when it comes to our securities laws.
Now, I know that Kyrsten Sinema mentioned this, and I want to support it also and ask everybody in our conference, Republicans and Democrats, to support a way for Congress to help, and that is called the Senior Safe Act.
Please, Mr. Clayton, please withdraw this rule. It is harmful to our seniors, it is harmful to our small investors.
I thank Congresswoman Chellie Pingree from the First District of the State of Maine. I represent the Second District. I encourage everyone in this body, Republicans and Democrats, to please take care of our veterans. Please vote for S. 114…
I thank Chairman Thornberry and Chairman Wittman for their support on my important amendment. Bath Iron Works is a critical national security asset to our country. It is a source of great pride for all Mainers, and the shipyard employs…
We do not want to over-regulate our small savers such that they lose the ability to plan for their retirement.
Here is what I worry about, Mr. Chairman, is that we have a potential here of so over-regulating the people who provide good advice to our small savers in this country that you are driving away that advice.
We do not have a government unless we have tax revenues. Let us juice the tax revenues, right? It helps everybody.
Every dollar we save, every asset that we are not maintaining, can go back into helping our kids that come back from combat with wounds.
We have got to have the guts to do what is right here. And it is all about taking care of our veterans.
My concern is how do we get every possible dollar that we have available clinically to help our veterans if they need a knee replacement or they have PTSD?
