On this day 20 years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act became law. And to the majority leader, who played a big role in making that happen, and Mr. Sensenbrenner and other Members, I want to say congratulations to all of you. And congratulations to those who, through no fault of their own, have had their capacities limited. And to our colleague from Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin), it's on behalf of the millions of Americans who have been helped by the Americans with Disabilities Act, we too want to congratulate you for the great honor that you have the ability today to be the first person with disabilities to sit in the Speaker's chair. Congratulations.

Let me just be clear here. A debt limit increase without any reforms to lower our deficit just isn`t going to cut it.
The modern Republican Party is filled with, as John Boehner put it, people who spend more time tearing things apart than actually building anything.
