I looked inside the hotel room, and there was mom and dad and the kids. And I say to Members of the House, like many of them in the gallery here today, and there was grandma and grandpa. Then I looked inside the room real quickly, because…

I agree entirely. Additional funding for Amtrak through the intercity passenger rail reserve fund established in the resolution should only be permitted if reform legislation is enacted. In my role as chairman of the House Committee on the…

I support the idea that we are going to live up to our agreement on $250 billion in net tax cuts, and would agree with the gentleman that our plan is going to give the bulk of the resources to middle-income, hardworking Americans. We favor…

No banker that I have ever met in my lifetime would make these kinds of loans to somebody trying to go in and borrow money to build a house or create a small business. The simple fact of the matter is, is that this portfolio and the…

It is only if you are able-bodied, if you are childless, and you live in an area where you are getting food stamps and there are jobs available, then it applies.
