Because I will bet the vast majority of the Hobby Lobby employees, in fact, like their plan.

We either violate our ethical religious construct, and we are not talking about Hobby Lobby.

We also have a responsibility to provide for the general welfare.

Help me make the argument to my constituents that it is okay for us to go out and borrow money.

I think this is a bad idea. I think I like the chainsaw, you know, for cosmetic surgery analogy.

We know that, you know, what could potentially happen here in my district and in our State, and I just find it stunning that we can sit here and have a conversation about job loss because of these reductions.

I feel like my friends on the other side, and it is just stunning to watch this hearing, completely have a blind spot when it comes to Government spending for the military.

We need your help because there is a narrative in this country right now that every dollar that the Government spends is a waste of money.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the funds made available by this…

I fear that what is happening with your push to take taxpayer dollars and give it to the digital classroom...

I view vouchers as kind of a corporate welfare scheme.

I just don't understand this kind of extreme Tea Party ideology that says government has no role to play.

I view government as a way to secure opportunity for all.

The benefits from regulations so heavily outweigh the costs in terms of protecting people's health, saving lives, promoting a community that can work together and accomplish great things.

What works is entrepreneurship, small business growth, risk taking.

Both parties have messed this up.

The economic policies we have today are not working.

We just got the employment numbers about a half hour ago. Only 69,000 jobs added last month.

Fuld asked Paulson to call prime minister Gordon Brown, but Paulson said he could not do that ...

Subsidies induce companies to invest in extremely risky projects that often blow up.

So corporate subsidies don't work. So what can we do to spur growth? We should unleash entrepreneurs.

Federal business subsidies have always generated corruption.

Corporate welfare simply doesn't work. Well-meaning policymakers, they want to support businesses because they believe the subsidies will make them more competitive.

So farm subsidies and other business subsidies, in my view, are unfair. They take from average folks to give to higher-income folks.

The objective of these bills are sound and sorely needed, I feel, to fix the budget process.
