Keeping our prescription drugs safe is certainly a bipartisan issue, and we have the world's safest drug supply.
the alarm bells over how Obamacare will unfold are getting louder by the day.
the promises made about the Affordable Care Act didn't quite match up with reality.
I think it's unacceptable that this is going to happen, and I look forward to voting to fix it today.

The President said last year that he would do whatever it takes to create U.S. jobs. Well, here is a $7 billion construction project with more than 20,000 direct jobs and 100,000 indirect jobs.
