My colleagues, this week the House will consider several measures to stop government abuse, especially when it threatens freedom and limits opportunity. The American people expect accountability, and every day the House is focused on…

And my colleagues, too many middle class Americans are out of work or worried about losing their job, and the House has passed dozens of bills to help them. More are in the works as we speak, including important legislation that fosters…

Today in our country, far too many Americans have been unemployed for too long. Out of every 10 people looking for work, nearly four have been looking for more than 6 months. What for many families began as a crisis has turned into a…

if he tries to ignore the will of the Congress in Boehner's words he's going to run into a quote brick wall.

the president should be very, very careful with these executive orders.

He only needs 8 of the 50 competitive districts and he's speaker again.

He hopes they have learned their lesson in terms of tactics that work and tactics that don't work.

Today in our country, too many families and small businesses are struggling. Unemployment remains high; wages are stagnant; prices for everything from gas to groceries are rising faster than paychecks. The middle class is getting squeezed…

Let me thank Chairman Ryan and his Senate counterpart, Democrats and Republicans, frankly, on both sides of the Capitol who worked hard to bring this agreement together. My colleagues, I think it is pretty simple. If you are for reducing…

the Honorable Thomas S. Foley, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, died on October 18, 2013.

We fought the good fight, we just didn't win.

There had been no decisions about what exactly we will do.

Our message in the House has been pretty clear. We want to reopen our government and provide fairness to all Americans under the President's health care law. This law had a big rollout last week. It has been called an ``inexcusable mess,''…

I think it's disgraceful.

My colleagues over the last 10 days have been through quite a bit. We sent four bills to the United States Senate to keep our government open and to protect the American people from the harmful effects of ObamaCare. Each of these requests…
