Dennis Kucinich

The point is--and Congressman Kucinich made a long list of achievements that all of us, across the table, have achieved in terms of safety and in the environment.

The authors went on to state, 'Most of the 5 million jobs created are standard jobs for accountants, engineers...'

In fact, a 2008 study from the Journal of Environmental Management... states that, 'Contrary to general public perception...'

Well, you are telling us that EPA regulations actually create jobs and support industry.

I think that we have to consider the global competitive environment, and we certainly don't want our air quality standards or our labor standards to be reduced to a point where we become like countries that are less democratic.

I fully support having a discussion about the impact of regulations on industry, and I want to know if there are regulations that are unnecessarily burdensome on this country's manufacturers.

EPA's most recent estimate of the total financial benefit of the Clean Air Act is $1.3 trillion.

EPA's air pollution rules alone account for 60 to 85 percent of these benefits.

The cost must be weighed against benefits.

I also know that regulations are creating jobs and the regulations are saving lives.

I want to state for the record, there is a longstanding precedent in Congress of putting administration witnesses first on their own panel.

I would just like to say in response to my friends that my amendment will correct a bipartisan error and, second, that you can't destroy a missile system that doesn't work. I will just conclude by saying that Philip Coyle, a former…

I think it is fair for us to debate this. I think we have to just be cautious about how far we draw conclusions about the motivations of each other in taking the positions that we do.

I would hope that my good friend from California, in his very passionate defense of the Patriot Act, did not mean to imply that the distinguished Mr. Conyers in some way would suborn terrorism, because he chooses to point out that the…

On this day when around the world we celebrate the transformative power of love, it is also appropriate for us to think about a world as one, that the world, in fact, is interdependent, interconnected; and if we can have this realization…

Beyond these measurable economic and safety benefits, what value do we place on reducing worker injury, illness, and death?

This is not the way to ensure worker safety.

My Ensuring Worker Safety Act (H.R. 571) would allow federal OSHA more flexibility to collaborate with states and improve underperforming state plans, such as Hawaii's. I urge my colleagues to support it.

When we look at section 206, which allows the FBI to obtain an order from FISA to wiretap a target without having to specify the target or device; when we look at section 6001, which authorizes the government to conduct investigations of…

The Patriot Act represents giving away rights, not securing them. It's said, well, it hasn't been adjudicated. The laws that we make derive from our constitutional authority, and that's not just a matter of political will but it's about…

The Patriot Act is a destructive undermining of the Constitution. We started this Congress off with a discussion about reading the Constitution. Many of us carry Constitutions with us in our pockets. How about today we take a stand for the…

If businesses get relief from health care costs under the Affordable Care Act, would they get even more relief from the tremendous burden of inflated per-capita health care costs under a single payer plan?

The Affordable Health Care Act provides some protection from the unpredictability of wild leaps in health care costs for those in small insurance pools.

According to the February 2011 data released by the Department of Education, defaulters from for-profit colleges disproportionately account for 48 percent of student loan defaults across all higher education sectors.
