The Public Record
I offer congratulations to you and congratulations to every hard-working American taxpayer. Or should I say offer condolences? Because at long last, today, May 7, is tax freedom day. We have heard a lot of talk, a lot of playground taunts…
I just wish we could get past some of the name calling and some of the, to be frank, disinformation that has infested itself here on the banks of the Potomac; to wit, fact, yesterday the Treasury Department reports that Medicare is losing…
Reclaiming my time, what is radical within this beltway is reasonable to the people of the United States. I thank my good friend from California for mentioning that fact, and I thank my friend from Georgia for offering real-life…
Reclaiming my time, when you talk about that $500 per child tax credit, I cannot help but think of the people of the Sixth District of Arizona who send me here to represent them. I cannot help but think of a single mother who may have…
Even in addition to common sense, which I laud the gentleman for mentioning, and which many observers would say time and again seems to be absent not only from this Chamber at times, but also through the vast bureaucracy, we need a proper…
I can personally say without equivocation that one of the honors of serving in this House... is to serve alongside my good friend from Illinois. Because without venom or vitriol, he states a case, and he makes mention of the fact that…
For in contrast to our English forbearers, or our British cousins, as some of us affectionately refer to our friends across the Atlantic, in this new Nation, in this constitutional republic, we did not choose to recognize one person or one…
reclaiming my time, I know of no one who works from dawn to dusk to provide for their families who could do that for 20 hours a week.
Reclaiming my time, and again I thank the gentleman from Georgia for bringing forth this very cogent observation. And again, Mr. Speaker, we should note this is not said with venom nor vitriol, not in the form of a playground taunt, but…
Reclaiming my time, little wonder, then, that the so-called credibility gap of the 1960s... should expend yet $8 billion more of those dollars which we do not have, it is an incredible assertion, not something to be championed or…
Let me say, Mr. Speaker, to my friend from California and also my friend from Georgia, as we talked about what in essence has become the act of extending welfare as we know it, and my friend from California especially knows this, we are…
recalling my career in radio, here is a golden oldie I am sure our liberal friends will absolutely love. It is taken from one of Bill Clinton's 1992 campaign commercials: I'm Bill Clinton, and I think you deserve a change. That's why I've…
And if the gentlewoman would yield, it is worth noting that one of the genuine reforms and one of the few times in which the gentleman at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue in the big white house was willing to work with us was on this…
let me assure my good friend, the gentleman from Georgia, that after the hue and cry and the celebrations this Earth Day, many committed conservatives will stand there to clean up the mess left by so many so-called environmentalists. It is…
I thought especially eloquent was the gentleman who preceded me at this podium, the gentleman from Kansas. And while he is quite eloquent in his verbiage, I thought the stack of books that now comprise the Internal Revenue Code, Mr…
I would close with an observation by one of my constituents in the Navajo Nation, having spent Sunday in Window Rock, Arizona. A lady told the story of a young homemaker in a Navajo household cutting off a substantial portion of a hand…
I thank my friends for yielding, and lest, Mr. Speaker, those viewing on television and in the gallery would misunderstand what we are saying, we do not have any problem with good, honest debate in the American political system. We do not…
No, it is not extreme to let the American people have medical savings accounts so that they can decide how to spend their health care dollars. Mr. Speaker, the fact is that will help American taxpayers and the hard-working men and women of…
Mr. Speaker, if you think you are paying by the word, that is certainly the case. Because in the wake of our last tax increase, the largest tax increase in American history, the President of the United States, who talks about tax breaks…
There could not be a greater difference in Government than the difference that exists between the 103d Congress, held captive by the proponents of big Government and more and more centralized planning and more and more taxation and more…
If my friend would yield, there is something fundamentally wrong when the average American family pays more in taxes than on food, shelter and clothing combined. There is something wrong when Washington sends its resources to pay for…
Yet at the same time I am heartened by the fact that the gentleman from Maryland, as well as my friend from Michigan and my friend from Georgia, all recognize this central theme, that it is not centralization of power or a…
the budget that the gentleman at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue now advocates to try and bring our budget into balance would be akin to me saying I need to go on a diet. I think we can all acknowledge that fact. I think I am going to…
the challenge for us at this juncture in our history is to ask this question: Who do we trust? Do we trust the American people, do we trust local officials, elected by the people close to home, officials elected to State government, the…
The fact is that the rights of every American are best protected when we uphold this document, the Constitution of the United States. The fact is that the most publicized murder of this decade, indeed of this half century, involved a…
