Unfortunately, our colleagues across the aisle are stuck on failure, the bailouts, one after the other. Last week, the bill that was passed here, the $30 billion, is another bailout of banks. It is a failure. Everything that our friends…

I appreciate my colleague from California's yielding the time. We are requiring flags to be made in the United States because our colleagues say they are concerned about jobs. Well, House Republicans are also very much concerned about jobs…

It's my understanding that this bill is being brought to the floor in a rush without there even being any hearings in the committee.

Today I want to pay tribute to the USA Science and Engineering Festival and the North Carolina Science Festival. The goal of these nonprofit, private sector-driven festivals is simple: present science to America's youth in a way that is…

With all due respect to my colleague across the aisle, we do not put politics above people. My colleagues and I were out in our districts all during the August recess, and we listened to our constituents. We know what our constituents…

In closing, I am going to urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the previous question so I can amend the rule to allow all Members of Congress the opportunity to vote on a cost-saving measure. Recently, Republican Whip Eric Cantor launched…

I was struck by the fact that many of our colleagues across the aisle have obviously been on the road to Damascus lately because all of a sudden, after running up the largest deficit in the history of this country, we are borrowing 43…

$6.1 trillion, that's how much money the Federal Government has spent in just the first 18 months of the Obama Presidency. Washington is spending $7 million every minute of every hour of every day. There is only one way to feed that kind…
