For some reason we are okay with rat poop all over the office and all over our desk and in our drawers

We are overrun with mice.

We should expect a lot more.

The renovation of the Cannon Office Building cost $725 million, which is an absurd price.

If they can't get rid of the rats--vermin--vermin--if they can't seem to handle these things...

I think we don't do enough to hold people accountable.

If I ran my office buildings the way the Architect of the Capitol is running these office buildings, I wouldn't have any tenants, and I would be fired.

With a thousand dollar a square foot price tag, cannot seem to be working

For some unknown reason, with this expensive concrete paver system they have put down for the flooring and with these higher railings, they don't allow you access to the outside, which is ridiculous

If we had allowed these things to occur in these things that we were renting to the Federal Government, they would have first moved out and, second, sued me for providing inadequate space

It is completely absurd that we would consider paying $1,000 a square foot for renovation and have to deal with this kind of nonsense

Harvard professor George Borjas estimates that competition from low-skilled immigrants has reduced the American lower middle-class wages by $800 to $1,500 yearly. Stop the endless flow of illegal labor and watch wages rise. For once, let's…

The economic benefits alone are nearly overwhelming--29,000 new jobs, $1 billion increase in state and local tax revenue, and $2 billion overall economic impact.

I strongly believe that infrastructure equals opportunity.

The burdens of making the new rail service safe for pedestrians and school children should not fall on the local communities along the tracks or upon those who need protection.

I am very thankful to this President, to President Trump for coming in, and with the Republican majority at the time, one of our first priorities was repeal regs and set people free to do what they want to do, to hire.

I am so proud of the effect that this tax bill has had on my district.

I am talking about for a single individual and we doubled it for families too, from 12,000 to 24,000.

71 percent of Americans think the economy is in good shape. That is a 20-year high.

We have below 4 percent national unemployment, record lows in African American and Hispanic unemployment.

We lowered the tax liability from--we eliminated taxes on anybody--an individual who makes 12,000 or less.

$9,180 plus another $1,440 is my point. So it is not small change. And this is for a guy who is making the median household income.

We have got to do something about that.

I absolutely appreciate Social Security.

So what we are doing is we are actually converting this from a premium to a tax.
