I doubt that in the private sector it would have been as simple as that.

Unfortunately, under the President's health care law, we have seen drug costs spike.

Congress needs to push back. It needs to create an environment that promotes innovation, increases competition, which will bring down costs and increase access to prescription drugs.

We can also agree that we want individuals to have access to these treatments at an affordable price.

Politicizing this tragedy won't solve the problem, and it won't help the children of Flint.

The Flint water crisis is indeed a human tragedy. It's not a natural disaster. It's a human disaster brought on by failures of humans but, I think, as well, brought on by failures of government at all levels.

The safety and well-being of our citizens is not a Republican or a Democrat or an Independent issue. It's a human issue, it's an American issue that affects Americans' lives.

I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of S. 1115, the Grants Oversight and New Efficiency Act, or as we call it, the GONE Act. As the lead House sponsor of this bill, I am proud of the bipartisan, bicameral effort that…

I appreciate the opportunity to speak tonight. As I stepped to the podium, I noticed two of the values that America has etched into or has carved into the Speaker's rostrum, ``liberty'' and then, to my left, ``peace.'' They are two values…

I appreciate the concerns expressed by the ranking member of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, my friend from Virginia. I appreciate the fact he sits in on all of our Workforce Protections Subcommittee hearings that I have…

I thank the gentlelady and I thank you for reminding us of this celebration today and the 13th Amendment and the impact.

I respectfully disagree with the approach, and I think that is why these hearings are here in place, to see that we have a tension, and we can get over it.

We have to understand it is not us against them, them against us, but rather us working together to find regulations that are needed, yes, but done in a realistic way that promote opportunity, meet needs, and make a better society.

We will keep doing it, and I guess the debate will go on, and we will do that with a smile on our face, but hopefully an intention to come to a conclusion that benefits us all.

To say that somehow if you have the privilege of being able to do business with the Federal Government but you do not want to follow any of the regulations, I did the exact thing with private sector businesses.

Today, you cannot get Congress to pass a Mother's Day resolution.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate that and enjoyed my time in your district over Thanksgiving.

The President in his global summit did identify two areas he was focusing on.

I'm saying that's what I understand that the President's agenda is.

I thank the chairman for this opportunity. Mr. Chairman, I come to the floor today, after looking in the eyes of the kids, students, their parents, eyes filled with hope and opportunity and success. I come to the floor today to add my…
