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…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I am tempted to say, so much to say, so little time. I was going to ask my colleague to yield so she could clarify to me her comment that we are cutting the deficit. You know, this is…

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Maine failed to mention her own State and what it is doing, and I find it very interesting. I have an article from June 24, 2009, from The Wall Street Journal…

Madam Speaker, our colleagues on the other side of the aisle have voted for a bill that is a government takeover of the health care system of this country. They talk about all of the good things that they see in the bill that Republicans…

I appreciate my colleague pointing out the fact that we did have some areas in North Carolina. Indeed, two of the counties that he mentioned were in my district, because of the rain that we had recently. But, you know, declaring a disaster…
