Obamacare has failed and it has caused a series of very serious problems for the American people.

So, basically, you have got bureaucrats running our healthcare system instead of physicians and patients.

It is amazing to me now that some of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are calling to see the replacement before the repeal. What irony that is when--at that time the Speaker--the leader of their party, said: let's pass this…

I thank the chairman. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the 21st Century Cures Act and add my voice to the steady stream of acclaim this legislation has already received. American families and communities are suffering from rare diseases…

I, too, want to thank my colleague from Georgia--not from Georgia but from Colorado. I have lived all over the country, so I get confused about where some of my colleagues are from. I thank my colleague from Colorado for doing this this…

I, too, want to thank my colleague, Steve Chabot, for putting this on tonight and giving us this opportunity to pay tribute to one of the finest human beings that I personally ever met. I was elected in 2010, and had no background in…

Just the execution and enforcement, but the idea and the standards are good.

I would just like to point out that under this administration the economy will have averaged 1.55 percent growth through two terms.

The government's own studies indicated that Head Start, by the time kids reach the fourth grade show no impact.

I just hope that we can return once again to kind of a common sense approach to an all-of-the-above energy policy where we don't throw out the baby with the bathwater and we are not killing jobs and that we are looking more for…

I certainly hope that as you transition--assuming that you transition out someone else transitions in--that you will pass that advocacy on to your successor in the sense that we--one of these days, because we are problem solvers here in…

I can remember as far back as 2010 or 2011 when then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mullen said that the greatest threat to our national security is our national debt.

Publicly held debt is projected to rise from an already elevated 76 percent this year to more than 85 percent by 2026.

I think it's absurd. I think it's irresponsible. Quite honestly, Ms. McCabe, I think it's un-American.

It's a ripoff of the American people, and the Federal courts have shown and have demonstrated through their rulings that you guys are consistently overreaching.

the money that is coming out in Federal regulations, particularly from the EPA, is like a--is like a dadgum permission slip to do business in America.

I find it absurd that we would be challenged on an air of hostility when we are doing what the American people require us and request us to do, which is to hold the EPA accountable.

How in the world can you meet that standard with a qualitative assessment rather than a quantitative assessment?

the taxpayers would expect that we get that higher degree of certainty and cost-benefit analysis, because it is affecting the industry.

But your rulemaking, but the backfit rule requires that you do determine cost-benefit analysis.

The industry doesn't see it the way that you just described it.

They spent hundreds of millions of dollars to comply with the 2003 rule, only to have it set aside by the courts in 2007.

Unless we want to start making buildings and homes out of sticks and straw, we had better figure this out because these companies cannot continue to stand up under this duress.

We disagree strongly.

But would the EPA consider reproposing this rule, given the concerns that have been raised about the likely unworkability of the proposal?
