If this is not a case for the need to simplify government, I do not know what is. This law is literally just unraveling before our eyes. I do not know how you can conclude that this is not a total fiasco.

I cannot see that this ruling right here will do nothing more than further explode the cost of this thing.

Why would we, representing the taxpayers we represent, give you all this extra money you are asking for if this is what the IRS is doing with hard-earned taxpayer dollars?

I look at page 35, and I see basically a case made for a budget increase.

Just don't forget, you work for the taxpayer, it is not the other way around.

the reality is I am going to follow the process and the rule of law in getting to the bottom of it.

the nation understands that this Administration is blocking job creation and blocking energy production in this country for political reasons; not policy reasons, political reasons.

I believe, as do hundreds of American businesses who recently signed a statement saying that the United States should rise to the occasion and challenge, that dealing with global challenge is at the same time a huge economic and jobs…

Energy production is one of the best tools we have to grow the economy--and to pay down the debt.

The fact is, energy is critical to our economy. We can't get out of this fiscal mess without economic growth.

We can grow the economy right now, without raising anyone's taxes, without increasing spending, without writing new regulations.
