Madam Speaker, last week, I had the pleasure of holding a veterans fair economic town hall and several general town halls across my district. Throughout the conversations I had with my constituents, I heard a growing concern about the increasing government intrusiveness, whether it is in the doctor's office, the classroom, or the economy. House Republicans understand that our constituents want government to work efficiently. We have offered real solutions that will grow good- paying jobs and expand opportunity for all. In fact, we have already passed over 200 bills that will start helping people today but unfortunately are still collecting dust on Senator Harry Reid's desk. This includes bills that would lower health care costs and return choice back to patients, as well as expand domestic energy production to both create jobs and lower costs for consumers. It is time, Madam Speaker, for the Senate to join us in advancing real solutions. It is time to make life work better for all Americans. ____________________
