I thank the gentleman from Indiana for introducing the amendment. I know it is in good faith. I am looking at my favorite chart since I have been here about what causes the public debt. I hear all of these folks talking about it--in both…
As I read it, this amendment requires the Treasury to notify Congress about which obligations it would be able to pay were Congress to choose to default and prioritize debt as a vision in the Pay China First bill, which the House has twice…
If the gentleman on the other side has no more speakers, I am prepared to close.
I just want to remind the young lady from the other side of the aisle, my good friend, that everything she has asked for is pertinent and important, but it is already on the Internet. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr…
I thank the ranking member and the chairman and, of course, my good friend from Texas (Mr. Marchant). I yield myself such time as I may consume. This week, the President sent his fiscal year 2017 budget to Congress and released it to the…
Why are their children treated any different than the children on the mainland?
I really advocate and continue to advocate--and this is a bipartisan thing--private activity bonds in the water infrastructure.
I am pleased to see that the budget includes over 600 million in allotments to extend the earned income tax credit for Puerto Rico.
I thank the ranking member. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 3036, the National 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center Act, which was introduced by my friends Congressmen Tom MacArthur and Jerry Nadler--two sentinels of…
I contend that that is un-American. Read my lips. Cancer screenings. I contend that that is un-American. And you have nothing in your budget, and you have nothing in your so-called plan--which dematerialized before it materialized--that…
Mr. Ranking Member, through the Chair, this is nonreconciliation if I have ever seen it. The Affordable Care Act pulling back from Medicaid expansion, do you know what that means? Have you examined what that will do? It will take away…
Let's cut to the chase. I support this legislation. It wasn't an easy decision, but I believe that Democrats were able to get a lot of policies into the bill that are good for the middle class. It is going to help 16 million Americans out…
I have a great deal of respect for the ranking member's intellect and integrity, as well as the chairman, in working through this rule. But it is simply disgraceful that while the President of the United States, our President, was in Paris…
I want to salute the Speaker of the House, and here is why I want to salute him. He defused the religious connotations when this was first brought up. He did that yesterday, and I salute him. Imagine, to have one line for Christian Syrians…
I have lived in Paterson, New Jersey, all my life, which has a large Syrian American population. In fact, when I came back from the service, I joined the American Legion. It was the John Raad Post, which was a Syrian American military…
I was proud to join my Ways and Means Committee colleague, my counterpart--Mr. Renacci of Ohio--along with several other Members, in submitting to the Rules Committee a modified version of our bipartisan bill to provide long-term…
Very concerned about out-of-pocket costs. Can you tell us a little bit about how that works and how you think it is going to improve the situation?
Every State had the ability to get money from the Federal Government to educate the public about these changes that have been going on over the past several years.
It is imperative that local nonprofit insurers continue to be part of the marketplace.
The Affordable Care Act has been successful, I think, in arming consumers with the tools that they need in order to make these judgments.
The health insurance marketplace is rooted in competition. I think you are for competition.
Let us get down to the nitty gritty. You are attempting to do to the ACA what you did to the IRS.
Instead, we are here talking about holding government funding hostage in exchange for decimating the Affordable Care Act. Enough is enough. Remember when the guy threw the window up in that movie ``Network''? We are not going to take it…
