I want to thank my good friend from Arizona. When I start my townhall meetings, I always start with our fiscal situation because people ask me--and I imagine it is the same in your district--what is wrong with you people in Washington? Why…
Would the gentleman from Arizona confirm for the audience or explain what OASI and DI mean?
Many of your constituents hear, from time to time, whether it is the President, people on the other side--and, frankly, people on our side--say that we are reducing the deficits. They hear this. If they don't come to your townhall meeting…
But the bigger point of this slide, if you will, is that even with sequestration, you can see that, first of all, it is not different from the normal program spending. It has absolutely nothing to do with the huge portion of spending which…
So you took $114 billion out of OASI, which is the big Social Security? We took it out of that and put it into disability insurance because disability was going to be bankrupt while we stand here today?
I would like to say thank you to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee) and the gentlewoman from New Jersey (Mrs. Watson Coleman), my good friend, for the fine work they did on this bipartisan, noncontroversial bill that is common…
That is unacceptable. It is unacceptable. I am sorry, it is--you can't come here and make your case without that.
Putting a new policy in place doesn't cut it. DHS must hold employees that waste taxpayer dollars accountable.
Every dollar wasted on mismanagement is one less that goes to actually protecting the public.
The management failures and outright abuse outlined in the IG's report demonstrate a culture of waste by DHS regarding taxpayer--taxpayer, this is your neighbors'--taxpayer money. That is reprehensible. It is unacceptable.
The fact is that all the reforms that the kind gentleman just spoke of are not going to happen. None of that is happening. The Senate threw that in the trash. So what we have is an Export-Import Bank that has refused to comply with the law…
We have the political, the policy, and the technical expertise at the table here. Unfortunately, I think we have a lot of answers, but I would agree with the gentleman from Florida, who we look a lot alike, that we fail to execute.
I think it is important that constituents know why their Members vote for and against different things. Yesterday, we saw the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank, and I voted ``no'' on that. Of course, I, like probably every single…
I am humbled to extend my sincere congratulations and express my profound pride and admiration to the players and coaches of Red Land Little League in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania, who recently returned home from the Little League World Series…
In spite of its shortcomings, and there are many, the last administration's policy was not completely failed.
Debate over funding for Planned Parenthood has nothing to do with women's health care. I think we have just heard that on a couple counts. Constituents on both sides are sickened and disgusted by the Planned Parenthood videos, videos that…
Today's hearing provides us with an important opportunity to examine how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can improve its management using proven, private-sector best practices.
In recent years, the American public has grown increasingly dissatisfied with our Government.
Those who are left in the agency that have been doing the nuts and bolts work, the not at-will employees, so to speak, they are nonpolitical employees, are left holding the bag.
I thank the chairman for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, no one wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon; I certainly don't think the President wants them to, but I think it is clear that they are going to. The question is when. Clearly, the…
You must understand the American people see Iran as like a crocodile or a shark that does what it does.
Politicians like Scott Perry
