I think the gentleman from Pennsylvania who spoke earlier was absolutely right. The people back home want us to do things. So I think the important thing to do now is to find out, why aren't we able to do anything? And I lay the blame…

I am enrolled in the ObamaCare exchanges, as are many Members of Congress and many of our staff.

But we are all counted in the 10 to 11 million people who have signed up for ObamaCare.

the policies that the Fed has adopted are actually making income and wealth inequality worse.

monetary policy has nothing to do with the global supply chain, nor should it.

I think that one of your Fed economists said it could be as much as $20 billion to $60 billion in money that will flow to the large banks that have the excess reserves.

you are sticking your nose in places that you have no business being.

And it seems like what we are seeing once again is a habit with the Administration... to not only not follow the law but to hold yourself to an entirely different standard than you are holding everybody else.

I could buy you 140 F-35s on just on what we're going to lose this year in tax refund fraud.

I also appreciate your dedication to following the law and following the statutes.

I would suggest to you, Mr. Watt, that we did just that.

I am going to do something I don't ordinarily do on this floor, which is implore my colleagues across the aisle to please, please, please, support this amendment. Let's take away for at least one day the ``R'' or the ``D'' from behind the…

Last Congress, I sponsored the Subcontracting Transparency and Reliability Act, which was passed out of this Committee...

Does the EPA consult with the CDC on results of the agency's lead paint monitoring? If not, why not?

I suggest to you that it's possible that maybe they fudge the numbers a little bit and that it's insight into what is going on at the Bank.

You've been there 5 years. The Obama administration has been in charge for 5 years. Where does this come from, if not from the top?

Only one-third of the Bank--what the Bank does actually goes toward leveling the playing field.

The GAO in May of 2013 was extraordinarily critical of how the Bank talked about jobs.

It was actually then-Senator Barack Obama in 2008 who said that this was corporate welfare that needed to be cut back.

Seventy-six meaningful things that the IG and the GAO said were wrong at the Bank.

I encourage my colleagues not to take it as an apples-to-apples comparison.

As someone who is still fairly new to the committee, and still fairly new to Congress, I hope that still strikes some people in addition to myself, that it is just patently absurd that the Securities and Exchange Commission is in charge of…

Let's see if we can't find something that we can actually accomplish.

I think it is noteworthy that once again--once again--and this is the fourth budget cycle that I have been through, the fourth Democratic budget offered here, that never balances. It never balances. How do you ever, ever pay back money…
