This is an example of the disturbing pattern of the imperial Presidency that seeks to circumvent Congress.

if Pennsylvania is not allowed to produce, it is going to damage, obviously, Pennsylvania's economy, it is going to damage jobs, it is going to damage the Nation.

It is the responsibility of the Congress, not the administration, to define the scope of jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.

Regulation of the Nation's waters must be done in a manner that is responsible and protects the environment without unnecessary and costly expansion of the Federal Government.

This is yet another example of a disturbing pattern of an imperial Presidency that seeks to use brute force and executive action, while ignoring Congress.

It is having a significant negative impact in Pennsylvania. And, again, it is not fair, and we want to make sure we get this resolved.

As Americans, we should all feel safe to drink the water that comes out of our faucets.

So that is troubling to me that in our society, when we have the people that are supposed to protect us and the experts, nobody is willing to say it because they are afraid of a lawsuit.

It allows American business to be competitive in the global marketplace and for our economy to prosper and grow and create jobs.

I care very much about rural America. I am from rural America.

transparency is important and I think cost-benefit analysis is absolutely central to the whole question.

We are going to be focused on the have-to-have projects, the ones that have the maximum impact with the taxpayer dollars on protecting existing infrastructure.

the whole system is senseless.

We need to focus on that. But also, make sure that when we are implementing new rules and regulations, we let the science drive it.

If it is not my fault, it is not fair. If it is not my fault, I should not be held accountable.

First of all, I just want to remind my good friend from Florida that in Europe where they are making these investments, they use a cost-benefit analysis and it is brutal.

In essence, you are going to get crushed if you do not get out of the way.

I really want to try to do something to reform Amtrak, to make sure that--it may never make a profit, but we need to make it move in that direction.

We need big solutions. So it is time to put the smallness of politics aside and come together.

Transportation is a great opportunity to prove that Democrats and Republicans can work together.

Neglect is not an option. Sitting on your seat and watching this thing is not going to work anymore.

We have to figure out how to legislate common sense. I don't know if we can do that or not.

I regret using those words, and while I continue to disagree with the President on this point, I do not think the President is a liar.

We don't believe Pennsylvania is being treated like other States are being treated.

I believe that we need passenger rail in this country. But I also believe strongly that we've got to find ways to reform it.
