Yes, it's been carefully crafted to keep the people who want the present status from being a choice. That is wrong. That should not be the way this bill is done. If they want to keep the present status, they should be able to vote for it.
Mr. Speaker, I am very concerned that the underlying bill we have before us today is being brought forward under a structured rule, adding to the record number of structured and closed rules the Democrats have arbitrarily used since they…
Yet we know that providing protection for our Nation is one of the few jobs specifically assigned to the Federal Government by the U.S. Constitution. Indeed, the Federal Government is the only level of government that can provide for the…
We got some interesting news from the Obama administration's own number crunchers last week. Though it comes as no surprise to those who opposed the government takeover of health care, which became law last month, we learned that this…
What's the difference between an ``orderly liquidation fund'' and a taxpayer-funded bailout? There is no difference. Senate Democrats say they need $50 billion to create a new fund so the government can ``wind down'' failing financial…

I have an article from June 24, 2009, from The Wall Street Journal, entitled ``Maine Miracle.'' I will just quote a couple of things from the article. ``At last, there's a place in America where tax cutting to promote growth and attract…
My colleagues on the other side of the aisle, along with the President, have done such a poor job of creating jobs in the past with all the spending that they have done, and yet everything that comes up is a jobs bill. I now want to quote…
Again, I constantly find it amazing how our colleagues want to rewrite history and how they assume that nobody is going to check up on what they are saying. That's not happening these days. I want to remind my colleagues that, when the…
We want commonsense health care reform--not an overhaul of the system that is a government takeover of health insurance and health care in our country. One of the things that people tell me they dislike the most about the way the Congress…
