The partisan back-and-forth sometimes is hard, especially around the subject of who is failing when it comes to regular order on appropriations and doing budget bills.

We are about to repeal Obamacare without one Democratic vote. This will be a partisan exercise under reconciliation.

No one in America who makes less than $200,000 is going to enjoy the benefit of that.

I hope you can keep your promise to make sure that no one with a disability suffers any diminution of care or coverage.

Once again, I would not consider that a partisan vote.

I have a feeling, Congressman, that even though you keep saying today that Congress will decide, you are not really believing, are you, that your new boss is not going to weigh in on what he wants Congress to pass?

I promise you the taxes are going to be repealed.

You have been chosen because of your beliefs, and your beliefs are reflected in your budget that you wrote as chairman of the Budget Committee.

It is incumbent upon you, it is incumbent upon me, if I am given the privilege of serving in this capacity, to work together to find the solution so that we provide the highest-quality care for Medicaid patients and everybody else in this…

Whatever is left after the dust settles is Trumpcare.

The growth of our economy and the jobs of so many Americans depend on our country remaining a stable and relatively predictable place to do business.

Despite this, to date the Trump Administration's plan for the economy changes with each news cycle.

I have been astounded over the last 3 days at what has occurred, that the President sent his Press Secretary out to utter falsehoods in a press briefing that had been--there was not only photographic evidence but numeric evidence to show…

I beg your pardon. He told Sean Spicer to go out there and say things that were demonstrably untrue.

Now, I get campaigning, I get campaign promises. But I want to ask you, Congressman, if the President asks you to not issue real data or asks you to alter data according to his narrative, what would your reaction be?

I have heard people say that if we do not raise the debt limit, it will be the end of the world. I have yet to meet someone who can articulate the negative consequences.

The thing that is so frustrating to me is that people who lead this government sometimes think that by--and, frankly, during the Bush Administration, they actually did a pretty good job of limiting the growth of FTEs in the Federal…

We are still searching for that unified voice.

I just was trying to point out the inconsistency of saying block grants to Medicaid are good because of flexibility and efficiency and block grants to States on social services are bad.

It would be hard to argue that debt owed to foreign entities by the Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States, could not have any impact on national security.

The American people want to know how much debt that is owed by the Trump businesses is owed to foreign entities.

Ultimately, it is his call.

I would like your commitment that you will report to this committee as soon as you are able to get that information from the new President.

Not one dime of the tax cut that the Congress--the Republican Congress--is about to do on the repeal of Obamacare will go to one American who makes less than $200,000 a year.

First, do you oppose lifting the current sanctions on Russia?
