Mr. Speaker, the people have spoken. They said stop the ridiculous spending, and with the YouCut proposal, they have said stop the ridiculous spending which incentivizes the wrong behavior and insults basic American values. Think about the…
It is irresponsible, it is arrogant. It is arrogant to not go through the markup, not have the debate, not have the hearings, not put that out there so the American taxpayer, the American family, the American small business owner can see…
Where is the budget? I thank the gentleman for yielding, thank him for taking the time to do this Special Order this evening on a critical, critical issue. You know, April 15, by law, the Congress is supposed to have a budget resolution in…
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…
I have a simple motion that every American can understand. It says: Stop the out-of-control spending until we balance the budget and get our fiscal house in order. People are worried. They are worried about what this Congress is doing to…
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…
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…
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…
I would just respond to the comments from the gentlelady from California that one group she left out was the American people. Every single poll done over the last year shows the American people don't want the health care legislation. She…
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…
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…
The reason the American people are speaking out loud and clear, the reason the American people, frankly, the reason the citizens of Massachusetts decided to send a Republican in Ted Kennedy's seat is because on a fundamental level, there's…
I actually just want to go back and try to give some context for why I think the American people are so adamantly opposed to this legislation. I think it is important to remember what we have seen over the last year, things we never…
America has no truer friend than Israel. We stand together on freedom, on democracy, and on security. More importantly, America and Israel share the unique ability to trace our roots back to the hopes and dreams of our ancestors. Even…
I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership on many issues here in the Congress and certainly on this issue of fighting and opposing this takeover of one-sixth of our economy, this health care bill. Look, when I think about…
What part of ``no'' don't the Democrats get? They were going to pass this health care bill last September and the American people said ``no.'' They were going to pass it in October and the American people said ``no.'' They said we're going…
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…
The gentleman is right on target with his comments. I just remind the Speaker, last spring the Republican Study Committee offered a balanced budget, something families and small business owners have to do every year and something local…
I notice the chart in the well of the Chamber is talking about the real cost of the health care legislation and what it means over time: $2.1 trillion. I think when you look at that number and couple it with some of the things that we have…
1,711 families have had their loans actually modified; that is it--permanent modification. It is that bad.
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 private sector didn't fail; we had some institutions that had some major problems.
