In March, the Government Accountability Office released its first annual report on duplicative and fractured Federal spending.

I just don't see how that is going to help our economy.

Probably not going to go there, as you would expect.

I thank the gentleman from Texas, the distinguished chair of the Judiciary Committee. Look, life is precious, life is sacred, and government should protect that basic fact. It is not some grant from government. It is a gift from God. Our…

EPA's behavior is the type that gives people throughout the country the impression that their government is aloof and not listening to them.

We exist to secure two fundamental principles: First, Americans have a right to know that the money Washington takes from them is well-spent; and, second, Americans deserve an efficient, effective government that works for them.

Imagine this: The Democrats' health care bill will not reduce health care costs, but actually increase them. That's right. According to CMS, the costs will increase over $300 billion. It brings to mind Yogi Berra's line: this is deja vu…

Who would have ever imagined in the greatest country in history we would see the things we have over the last year from the Democrat Congress and the Obama administration? Who'd have ever thought we'd see a $1.4 trillion deficit? Who would…

I would like to join my colleagues in recognizing the life and accomplishments of novelist Donald Douglas Harington and stand in support of H. Res. 1040. Described by Entertainment Weekly as ``America's greatest unknown writer'' and by The…

The gentlelady said the Federal Government won't be influencing the type of care Americans get. There is not a person outside this town who believes that statement. This is a 2,700-page bill, more boards, commissions, panels, bureaucrats…

Long-term care physicians deserve to be commended for their expertise and devotion to their line of work. As such, it is my great pleasure to support the designation of a day to honor their committed and faithful service to the population…

There's no way. I mean, the claim is laughable on its face, and yet that's what we continue to hear out of the other side. And I think it's those kind of things that deep down Americans understand we need reform. They understand that there…

There are a countless number of Members who over the years have said, Life is sacred, life is precious and should be protected. You know, although this is the week when we mark that terrible decision of 1973, I love this week. Thousands…

1,711 families have had their loans actually modified; that is it--permanent modification. It is that bad.

To me, that is a dangerous, dangerous place we are going.

The private sector didn't fail; we had some institutions that had some major problems.

I think you stop and think wow, this is amazing where we are at today in the United States of America, and that is a concern.

The American people sure do and I sure do.

I do think it is important to remember, as well, that, you know, we gave this unprecedented authority to the government and the results have not been what we expected.

I really believe that this is a recipe for supercharging the disaster.

The key point for us is this: The status quo is untenable, it is dangerous for a constitutional democratic Republic.

We cannot lie anymore. Neither can we put forward resolutions that are unconstitutional or based on wishful thinking.

I cannot imagine they were serious about that.

The status quo is untenable, it is dangerous for a constitutional democratic Republic; solutions have been offered.

If you are asking if I supported the bailout, I did not. I did not vote for the initial $700 billion bailout.
