The greatest healthcare innovations in the last 100 years happened in America, and they happened not because of government dictates, but as a result of tireless individuals having the freedom to experiment and compete and improve all of…
How can that be in light of what we were told, Dr. Anderson, because we were told this was the cat's meow, this was the end-all, be-all, greatest thing in history.
The problem is not that the free market has failed us; it is that government interventions in the market have distorted incentives, created barriers to competition, and left things in a mess.
I thank the gentleman for yielding to me. Madam Speaker, you know why we can't get a deal on the border security wall? You know why we can't get a deal? Because today's left has taken the most radical positions in American history. They…
Everyone knows the old line: Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. But we are going to have to change that line. We are going to need a new one. The new line should be: Fool the American people four times, shame on…
I think you go ask almost any American, do you think 72,000 rules that the EPA has on the oil and gas industry in our State is probably too many? It probably is.
Some of the things I think that the administration has done on the regulatory front have been helpful and have led to this amazing economic growth we have witnessed over the last 20 months.
No, we don't. We don't want to cut benefits. We just want to have a work requirement in place that doesn't get waived.
$68 billion spent a year on a program where you have millions of people who are able-bodied adults, who don't have to do a darn thing to get taxpayer benefits.
So if this doesn't need some reform--I mean if this isn't a program that needs reforms, someone is going to have to show me what would.
Requiring a work component for able-bodied people that doesn't get waived by the federal government for respective states is like an 85 percent issue across the board.
We signed on to, my good friend professor Raskin's Free Flow of Information Act which limits the government in compelling a journalist to reveal his or her sources.
This is scary. So this is why we are so focused on this First Amendment, not just the shield law for the press.
We are both committed to reaffirming our First Amendment freedoms, especially the guarantee, government cannot intimidate or sensor the town crier.
When pastors in the pulpit are saying you got to be careful what you say, it'll jeopardize your tax exempt status.
When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when governments fear the people there is liberty.
Yesterday, a day that will live in infamy, the President of the United States openly sided with Vladimir Putin, a despot, a kleptocrat, and a tyrant who freely orders the assassination of journalists and political adversaries, as opposed…
What concerns me is the political pressure that's apparently being brought to bear now on all of these entities and the suggestion that they are buckling under to this myth of some kind of anti-conservative conspiracy.
Well, let me just ask you about that. Because my colleague, Mr. Deutch, raised a very profound concern about the continuing demonization and vilification of families and children who are victimized in episodes of mass gun slaughter.
This is an absolute outrage and a scandal. And, of course, this is what the Judiciary Committee in its right mind would be working on today. This is what we would be investigating.
If what is alleged is true, the victims deserve a full investigation and justice.
Congressman Jordan never saw any abuse, never heard about any abuse, and never had any abuse been reported to him during his time as a coach at Ohio State.
I thank the gentleman for yielding and, more importantly, for this resolution. =========================== NOTE =========================== June 28, 2018, on page H5827, the following appeared: Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes…
