To say that the President is not complying with the law is an abject falsehood.
Well, today, I am telling you, there it is right there, everybody has to pay 230 percent more because of ObamaCare.
We could have just said, we are going to expand Medicaid, forget about the rest of the Affordable Care Act, right?
So the cost of that, though, was those 85 percent, who were already covered, have to pay more than twice as much to pick up that incremental benefit of the 6 percent more people.
Expanding the insured base was one of the goals, and the other goal was to bring the cost down.
As you will recall, the President said, you know, if you like your plan, you can keep it, which is clearly a falsehood.
The theory of the Affordable Care Act was to provide universal coverage for people, including those who had preexisting conditions...
I think completely--the idea that you would completely identify--I mean eliminate any sort of unique identifier is just not practical.
The effects of these tariffs are wide-ranging and will affect folks across our Nation.
These tariffs pose a serious risk to our economy and could trigger a trade war, and they may damage our relationship with our key allies.
Collin College is now concerned by the tariffs on steel and aluminum, due to the increased cost of construction materials.
The American middle class has shrunk, and makes about the same amount of money today as they did in 1990.

I appreciate a man of your experience taking on this job, and it is so important for the American worker.
You know, Mr. Larson likes to say that Social Security is a really good insurance policy. It is the most effective insurance policy you can buy.
I am making it my goal in the immediate future to try to drag some of these agencies into the 21st century.
I think it would definitely affect the 600A wait time. I think it would probably cut down on the need for some of the employees and probably cut down on some of the needs for funding.
The primary objective, the basic function of this process is you want people to get disability that they are entitled to, but you have to make sure they are entitled to it.
But what I am confused about--I don't mean to badger you, I am sorry, but I just want to understand.
When Hurricane Matthew devastated my district in October 2016, I had many constituents contact me, concerned with how they were going to file their tax forms.
This legislation would provide for an automatic 30-day reset of any IRS filing deadline that occurs in the wake of a major, major disaster declaration for events such as hurricanes or wildfires.
