NAN A. S. HAYWORTH

I would echo the words of our speaker, that no senior should be forced to choose between putting food on the table or paying for the prescription medications they need. That is just plain wrong. But by the same token, the question we need…

Mr. Speaker, I believe a common definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. And if we take a look at the history of the late 20th century, when this House was in different hands…

I thought it was very instructive to hear the comments of the lady from Pennsylvania in the letter to our friend, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Greenwood); and I thought it was equally instructive to hear our friends on the left…

Mr. Chairman, I heard earlier from another Member that we were going to attempt to inject a little reality into the debate. The preceding attempt was in vain, so let me do it for us assembled here tonight. My colleagues, there are…

Mr. Chairman, I rise as part of this bipartisan opposition to the amendment offered by my friend, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Weldon). Mr. Chairman, here we go again. It would be especially appropriate to remember the words written in…

let me assure this House and the American people that there will be full disclosure, and it will not be limited to 527 organizations. No, we will turn to those on a bipartisan basis, I might add, who willfully reach into the pockets and…

how sad and how cynical that the left can only embrace the politics of envy. How sad that today they rely on tired, shopworn old arguments attempting to divide Americans, when we will see in this Chamber later today a bipartisan majority…

Mr. Speaker, later this week we will come to this floor to vote on putting at long last the death tax to death, and we will be offered a clear choice. Some in this chamber will embrace the politics of envy, but, Mr. Speaker, I believe a…

I realize that Americans are flocking to the beaches and taking with them a variety of reading materials. And so I guess in that sense, Mr. Speaker, it comes as no surprise that we are treated to the latest fiction and rhetorical terror…

I welcome people of all points of view to this Chamber and to this well, but facts are stubborn things. Perhaps if the Washington bureaucrats at the Department of Education were better educated in mathematics, they could tell us where $18…

we return to Washington to be about the business of the American people. During our district work period, in the 6th Congressional District of Arizona, an area in square mileage almost the size of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, one of…

I will admit the fact that the gentleman from Texas comes to the floor, taking what is a positive piece of legislation, and tearing it asunder, because if there is genuine concern on the part of those who represent all 435 districts in…

it is fascinating to me to watch how the people's work is set aside. I understand the political principle at work. Why go on the defensive? Always be on the offense. Always be involved in misdirection. I guess if I had to defend the legacy…

Even as we turn to the subjects of Medicare and Social Security, the institutional bias that always asks for tax increases, even as we celebrate in bipartisan fashion the fact that the President signed into law the end of the earnings…

Mr. Speaker, I was astounded, but I guess not really surprised, at the level of bile, the venom, the mean-spiritedness and deliberate mischaracterizations that preceded us in this Chamber, and I could not help but notice the difference…

But, Mr. Speaker, I am sure the American people will note with interest that a luxury tax was imposed on the telephone really before the advent of the 20th Century. It came in the Spanish American War. So, Mr. Speaker, Teddy Roosevelt led…

The gentleman has heard it in his district. One of the first things I heard, when I was honored and entrusted with this responsibility of service in the Congress of the United States, at innumerable townhall meetings across the width and…

it is interesting as so many come to the well to try and make sense of the senseless. But it is extremely difficult to understand how we can undue senseless acts when current laws are not enforced. Penalizing law abiding Americans who…

My colleagues, it is true that our children are vulnerable, but not to law-abiding citizens who obey existing laws. They are vulnerable to those who refuse to enforce existing laws and those who would break campaign laws. Yet our friends…

Mr. Speaker, I thank all those who join us this evening to assess where we are headed with the majority budget plan which we will pass shortly from the Committee on the Budget for the American people to offer a roadmap that means continued…

I yield myself 1 minute in response to my colleague, the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Taylor), with whom I see eye to eye on many issues of national security. I appreciate his points but it is interesting that it is somewhat of a…

I yield myself 1 minute. In response to my colleague from Texas, the reason we engage in this debate, and it is good that there are honest, philosophical differences; but I think all Members of the House, Mr. Speaker, need to be reminded…

Mr. Speaker, let us speak from the heart. Let us engage in this debate. With the American people watching, Mr. Speaker, let us take a look at who benefits from tax reductions. It is sad to hear my friends on the left reminiscent of that…

When we examine the alternative offered by the minority, it is actually cruel because it offers tax relief with one hand and takes it away with the other. I point specifically to two increases, two estate tax increases, in the Democratic…

This motion to recommit says to the American people, Mr. Speaker, ``Wait, wait for tax relief. We believe it is important, perhaps not as important as a bipartisan majority of this House. We believe it is important, but you need to wait a…
