I would like to remind my friends who worship at the altar of Ronald Reagan, that he would be beneath Ron Paul.

Now, as a former member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I believe that funding for roads, bridges, buses, trains, is an investment in the economy.

The president's jobs plan that he submitted back in September also includes a lot of other elements that are just sitting in this House of Representatives and have not moved.

I think it is important to remind everybody that when the president took office he inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression.

The average person is not only going to get a payroll tax cut, but... more help with their student loans.

I have an exception on many.

That just does not get the job done.

I think the Affordable Care Act is essential to all of this.

It is really hard given the tough fiscal situation our country is in to balance.

We have added 3.7 million private sector jobs over the last two years and 257,000 just last month.

I think that is the one thing we agree with him on.

This has been very difficult and I think what we are seeing now in Ohio and around the country is people start to appreciate what has been done.
