My good friend from Louisiana would continue to have you believe that only right-wing and conservative groups were being investigated when in fact he knows and we know that it went well beyond that. There were progressive groups who were…
I just want to remind the gentleman from Ohio that this tax bill, know as the Tax Reform Act of 2014, which was made public today, will be a sucker punch to the guts of families who live in higher tax States, like Illinois, Wisconsin…
May I inquire as to how much time is remaining on both sides, for housekeeping purposes? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York has 22 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Louisiana has 21\1/2\ minutes remaining.
Congress must stop the attacks on Social Security, including the over $1.2 billion in cuts that many of my Republican colleagues put forward.
The alleged wrongdoing we have all seen in the media, including people claiming fake ailments due to September 11th to Social Security disability payments, it sickens me to say the least.
Social Security is a bedrock principle of America and we must do everything we can to protect and strengthen the program for future generations.
I would even suggest that they are borderline traitors to our country because they erode the confidence that people have in their government.
I am concerned that many on the far, far right in terms of the Tea Party aspect are again using this as an opportunity to attack our Government itself.
I am pleased to yield 1 minute to the gentlelady from California, Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the Democratic Caucus in the House.
I am prepared to close as well, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. In closing, I appreciate all of my colleagues coming down to the floor this afternoon to speak in favor of this proposed bill. I do think it is noteworthy to…
I would inquire as to the time remaining on both sides. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York has 21 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Michigan has 25\1/2\ minutes remaining.
We should be doing more, not less. What is really troubling is that I know there are some on the other side of the aisle who think this doesn't cut food assistance enough. Imagine that--there is $8 billion--$8 billion worth of cuts in this…
I thank my friend and colleague from Massachusetts for yielding me this time. This legislation is commonly referred to as the ``farm bill,'' but it is also a ``food bill.'' On that note, it falls short. To be clear, this is miles ahead of…
I yield an additional 30 seconds to the gentleman. Mr. McDERMOTT. Women's health care is health care. It is not Congress' job to stigmatize legal medical procedures and punish women who use them. It is also not Congress' job to tell…
I thank the gentlelady. The gentlelady from Kansas, my good friend, who I respect greatly, said the overall tax effect is negligible. I would ask, negligible to whom? If you are that person who can't get a needed tax credit, it is not…
We are prepared to close, if the gentlelady has any additional speakers before she closes. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York has 1\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from Kansas has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.
May I ask how much time we have. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York has 6 minutes remaining, and the gentlewoman from Kansas has 5\1/2\ minutes remaining.
When I go home to talk to my constituents back home in Queens and the portions of the Bronx that I represent, there are a lot of issues that they bring up to me. They want to see unemployment insurance restored. They want to see jobs…
I thank the gentleman from Michigan for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, it is a shame we are not up here considering an extension of the unemployment insurance. American families are looking for some kind of sign that their Congress…
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have tremendous respect for you, and so I do appreciate your holding this hearing today.
Let me be clear. The people accused of perpetrating fraud on the American public under the guise of the worst terror attacks in American history are an outlier among the brave first responders in New York City.
I thank my friend from New Jersey for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, there are so many truly pressing issues facing our Nation, so it is a shame that we are here once again wasting time on legislation like this. It doesn't even solve…
For many people, a new year marks a time of hope and optimism. But millions of Americans are, instead, beginning this year with fear and worry. They are wondering how they are going to make ends meet, pay their rent, or put food on the…
I too rise to mourn the loss of these four individuals and all those who were injured in this tragic accident. In particular, I want to recognize the family of Kisook Ahn of Queens. The entire Korean American community in Queens and…
Earlier this week, the Republican leader circulated his party's 2014 agenda--their vision for promoting private sector job growth, expanding the middle class, and strengthening our economy; their ideas for improving civil rights and…
