Bill Pascrell

We are not interested in getting someone; we are interested in following the law. Period.

Bull to what they are saying today.

No one is above the law.

Every President should release his or her tax returns to the public as a matter of course.

When I said no one is above the law, I mean, no one is above the tax law.

You voted more than 70 times to repeal the protections and take us back to the days of uncertain and discriminatory coverage.

A move that is projected to cause 13 million people to lose insurance.

The ACA has substantially improved access to care and financial security.

Doing away with the mandate and cutting subsidies, et cetera, et cetera, is just the beginning of how you try to strangle the Affordable Care Act.

I have no more speakers on my side, and I reserve the balance of my time.

The Economic Policy Institute reports that 3.4 million jobs, American jobs, have been lost due to China trade since 2001.

A new approach is needed. The question now is what is the new approach, and will it be effective?

Republicans have not done much of anything up to now to confront this issue.

No one wins a trade war.

I and many Democrats in Congress have a strong record on calling out China for their trade cheating.

Do you agree that Mexico has failed to live up to its obligations with respect to NAFTA's labor side agreement, yes or no?

And what that does is increase the lack of credibility in government. And it seems to me that that may be an objective of some people who get elected to come to this House.

These types of numbers are outrageous, and they are unacceptable, and we cannot argue them away.

This is a pattern, a plague on both parties. No one is individually responsible.

We need to provide the Social Security Administration with more resources to reduce wait times for paying benefits.

We have had expiration times in the last 5 or 6 years, but we always come together. We passed last week the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill in Trade. I think that is a good sign moving forward, working together in order to protect--not be…

Your first responsibility and my first responsibility is to the country, not to any political party, not to any President.
