Since January of 2009, President Obama and Congressional Democrats have enacted into law gross tax increases totaling more than $670 billion, or more than $2,100 for every man, woman and child in the United States. The list of tax…

Well, I happen to have here a piece put out by the Joint Economic Committee. This is a committee made up of Democrats and Republicans, and I am sorry I don't have a chart to show it. I know there is one somewhere around here, but there is…

I find it really like the book ``1984.'' I would say to people, if you haven't read the book ``1984'' or if you haven't read it in a long time, take some time to read it, because what you're seeing here from our colleagues on the other…

I want to congratulate you also today on this historic day, and also all those who have made this day possible by making the House much more accessible to everyone who serves in the House. But, Mr. Speaker, I must change the subject and…

I know our colleagues again continue to want to rewrite history, but it's just not something we're going to let you do. Our economy was doing great until you all took over the Congress in January of 2007. You keep blaming what happened in…

I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this same-day rule, reject the liberal agenda that continues to distract from private sector job creation and getting our economy back on its feet.

I would point out to my colleagues across the aisle, Mr. Speaker, that Democrats are totally in control of Congress. They have been since January of 2007. In the House, the number is 255-178. There are two vacancies. In the Senate, it's…
