You lied on financial documents.

I thank Mr. Price for yielding and for his wonderful comments remembering Walter. On behalf of the Republican Members of the North Carolina delegation--indeed, all the Members of our Republican Conference--we remember our long-serving…

I thank my colleague, the distinguished Member from Indiana, Congresswoman Walorski, for leading this Special Order tonight and all my colleagues who are here to affirm life. Mr. Speaker, abortion advocates used to say they wanted abortion…

Pay discrimination based on sex is illegal and should not be tolerated. I also strongly agree with previous statements made today that women deserve equal pay for equal work.

The best way we can create opportunities for all American workers, especially working women, is through strong economic policy.

That is an astonishing figure.

The Paycheck Fairness Act is not designed to protect women. It is a false promise that rates opportunities and advantages for lawyers and not for working women.

H.R. 7 directs the EEOC for the first time ever to collect employee pay data from employers broken down by the sex, race, and national origin of each employee.

Teachers work hard on behalf of American students and families, and they deserve paychecks that reflect their tireless efforts.

I have argued publicly several times before that teachers should be paid more.

It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

To dispute these two facts would make anyone out of touch with reality.

Since 1992, public education has received a 37 percent increase in real resources, and student performance hasn't significantly changed.

Teachers and students deserve the best working and learning environments money can buy.

Teachers and students deserve more than the same tired fights over money.

The answer isn't more money.

Mandating a $15 minimum wage would have serious negative consequences for students, workers, and small businesses.

Are you concerned that more than doubling the Federal minimum wage would reverse these positive trends for workers and the economy?

Liberal activists are trying to sell a radical minimum wage hike as a benefit to working class Americans.

In your view, is increasing the minimum wage to $15 an anti-poverty policy?

This is an empty promise, the likes of which we have not heard since the famous health care sales job of 2009: If you like the plan you have, you can keep it.

What do these States' experiments tell us about what would happen in other regions of the country if a mandate to impose a $15 minimum wage around the country was enacted?

I want to add my thanks to all the witnesses who have been here today.

The far-left has begun to call for extreme social policies that were, until recently, considered too radical for the mainstream.
