Nearly 30,000 households in my current district benefit from this program. I would ask you to examine the bill and examine your conscience before you---- The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will suspend. The Chair would remind Members…
I am opposed to this rule and the underlying bill. My friends on the other side of the aisle like to act like 11 million unemployed Americans are out of work because they want to be out of work. This is a debate between two things, common…
Thank you, Mr. Hastings. I rise, Mr. Speaker, in strong opposition to the rule and the underlying bill before us today, H.R. 761, the National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act of 2013. I just think it goes too far. I urge my…
More troubling, Mr. Speaker, is that recent studies estimate that one-quarter of American jobs are at risk of being outsourced in the coming years. We're not talking about chump change here. This is a lot of jobs. So let's defeat this…
Like my Republican colleagues, I too am concerned about fraud in any public program, whether it's ObamaCare, food stamps, Medicare. Who could be against verification? But this is not about verification. Again, the 41st failed attempt to…
We are here to help implement it, much like we had the problems when Medicare was first passed in the mid-1960s or Social Security.
That means in New Jersey 990,000, a little above that, 990,000 uninsured individuals with family incomes under 400 percent.

The letter supports the inclusion of strong rule of origin language, which has really hampered us in other trade agreements; in this case, the yarn forward rule.
The Bring Jobs Home Act would provide tax credit for companies that bring jobs back into the United States of America.
I think making sure these 13.7 million Americans have health insurance on January 1st should be our focus here today and tomorrow and the next day.
The Affordable Care Act is complex, no question about it. It was passed. It contains skyrocketing costs.
According to a just-released Urban Institute study, repealing the individual mandate would cause the uninsurance rate... to be a full 50 percent higher than it would be with full implementation of the law.
This is all about repeal. They do not want to change it. They want to do away with it.
When all else fails, then you have got to send up the red flags: socialism, apocalypse now.
An approximately 200,000 large businesses with more than 50 employees are subject to the employer responsibility requirement.
You cannot deny that ObamaCare--we will use your term--is helping millions of Americans.
I want to talk about the special interests--not oil companies--us. Let's talk about us and what we get out of this. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Chairman, the administration is committed to ensuring that…
I have a great deal of respect for Chairman Hastings. He's a fair, civil individual. But this bill is off the charts. At least the last one that we voted on had some redeeming qualities--some redeeming qualities. We know there's more oil…
