One of the other critiques we heard last night and today about the Democratic budget is: More government spending. They want the government to spend the money instead of the individual. Well, I'm sorry, I don't know how you expect to fund…
This claim about raising taxes is incorrect. The House plan does not include a tax increase.
Here is the difference we are starting to see. When Members turn on the television, Mr. Speaker, and they see what is happening with the Attorney General's Office, when they hear about $10- 12 billion in Iraq that nobody knows where it is…
I thank the Speaker, but this Congress wants to add up to $50 billion to cover $50 million of new children on the State Children's Health Insurance Program. We want to get the Pell grant up to at least $4,600 and we reject the President's…
We said that you said these are the benchmarks, and guess what, we are going to hold you accountable for what you have said, because up to this point, you have been saying whatever you want and there has not been the kind of force of law…
The thing is, this has been going on for a long time, and it's not until now where the threat of oversight looms, like impending danger.
The Attorney General's office, with all these problems, let's think about the role and the mission of the Attorney General's office in the post-9/11 era. We now have Senators calling the current Attorney General not up to the job, I think…
That just happened. And it is funny how the chiefs of staff are dropping like flies, first the Vice President's, and now the Attorney General's.
Armored Humvees. Up-armored Humvees. Kevlar vests. The proper amount of rest. I want you, Mr. Meek, to try to name me one person in this country that would dare send one of their own kids off to war without the proper equipment, that would…
Not at all. We are starting to figure out what has been going on. Part of it, over the past few years, everyone kept saying 6 more months. Give them 6 more months. Six more months. Well, 6 more months, we are 4 years later 6 more months.
These are the same people, Mr. Meek, these are the same people who were in charge several months ago, and for the previous 14 years, that led to the dismal display that we see at Walter Reed, the conduct of some of the people in the…
The economy is going great. I read an article with great interest today out of The New York Times. The title is ``Growth in U.S. Economy is Slower Than Thought.'' This economy is only growing at 2.2 percent, in large measure, due to the…
As I was watching the debate prior to my speech, I wrote down a quote that was stated by the gentleman from Indiana looking at the Democrats saying, How can we say we support the troops? Question mark. Now, if that is not questioning the…
We often hear in these debates how, you know, a certain party wants to spend money and waste money on this or that, and we are not saying that there is not waste in government, and we certainly want to address that. Our friends, our…
I suggest you just let the other Members know exactly who this S-CHIP is supposed to cover, what it is.
These are budgets we need to not only not be cutting, but we need to be probably doubling the size of the budget because of the kind of value that they yield and the kind of businesses that they help. When you look at what has happened…
I find it very interesting as the debate progressed today to hear all the conservatives who have been saying government's too big and then they blew the budget completely out of balance, borrowed money from China and they are here…
The interesting part here is the CR that we passed today was to clean up their mess that they left. They only passed one out of 13 appropriations bills. So you can only imagine, Mr. Speaker, all of a sudden they leave all of this mess for…
I appreciate my good from Miami, Florida yielding to me. The funny part watching the debate today was that the other side, because they had the opportunity for so long to pass so many of these pieces of legislation and to get them through…
I have got to say, Mr. Speaker, it has just been I actually think in many ways pathetic to listen to the debate here today over the continuing resolution. We all know the political situation over the past, you know, 14 years, Republican…
We are going to be the Congress. That is right. We are going to be the Congress. And, you know, it is not government is the problem, government is wrong, government is your enemy; it is going to be, wait a minute. This is something that is…
I had a very interesting weekend because everyone in Niles, Ohio, in the Mahoney Valley, was talking about the first 100 hours. So I found it very interesting that so many people were actually paying attention to what was going on here. I…
I look forward to our President's speech tonight and hope it is inspiring and filled with good information and good public policy that we can work on in a bipartisan way.
I thank the gentlewoman. Again, raising the minimum wage, cutting student loan interest rates in half, and repealing the corporate subsidies to the oil companies so we can pay for some of this stuff. We are doing some great stuff for the…
I think the good part about this whole first 100 hours and what we have been able to do, Mr. Speaker, is that we are making some structural changes. We are not petering around the edges. I think the people out there that wanted us to be…
Politicians like Tim Ryan
