What if I came to you and said I want to build you a house. What would you ask for?

The private sector is the competitiveness that is what made this country so great that this President is trying to get through a Congress that has been unwilling to listen to many of them.

I do not believe that it is appropriate for the Federal Government to pick winners and losers in the market.

We'd be derelict in our duties if we didn't question the funding. We're $22 trillion in debt.

The train loads of people are not going to Venezuela. They are coming to America. They are coming here for a reason because it represents freedom and it represents a lifestyle that they have not seen anywhere and any other country.

We don't have an income problem. We have a spending problem.

What this President has done is create private-sector jobs.

We are witnessing the effects of Socialism, a socialistic economy that doesn't work for the people that you say you protect.

So hyperinflation hurts the little man that you are talking about you protect.

I think the growth rates under the President Trump are real.

This thing we call government is made up of taxpayers.

So, in short, we don't have an income problem; we have got a spending problem.

I came to Congress to vote on legislation and basically go to work. What have we done for the last couple of weeks? Nothing. Instead of concentrating on things that matter to this country, their intent is to reverse the election in 2016 of…

What it is going to take, Congressman, is a couple of bridges collapsing, which is going to happen, and then maybe you will prioritize.

To not have a budget is inexcusable. For us to be sitting here flying blind, you would not do it in your business.

As President Abraham Lincoln declared in the Gettysburg Address, 'A true democracy is government of the people, by the people, and for the people.'

The right to democracy should not be contingent on party registration.

The truth is that most of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle oppose statehood because they believe it could dilute their power.

This is a constitutional malfeasance if it is done.

We deserve an increase not because we need more money, but because we want to be a better citizen, a better mother, a better father.

We are smashing, we are stomping on, and we are killing people's, who work in the low wage industry, dreams of having something more, doing something more.

Every American deserves to be able to have security, safety, pay their bills on time, know what life is going to bring to them instead of seeing nothing but darkness, no hope or anything.

I'm tired of forming a committee to study a committee when nobody has any power.

I appreciate you clarifying the deficit of empathy, because I thought that's who you were talking about here.

I think that's the way you get things done is to look at the bills and come to an agreement.
