I thank the gentleman for the time. Every time I go back home to Tennessee and as I hold town hall meetings, I do hear from my constituents: Enough is enough. Stop the madness. Let's get the Nation's fiscal house in order. That is what the…

I want to go back to something that Mr. Scalise said, which I think gets to the heart of the issues that we are talking about. And I would like to highlight this with our colleagues. Mr. Scalise, who knows this issue so very well because…

The gentleman's point, I think, is so important to make. The President has already taken twice as long as most Presidents would take to enter into this decision. So he has already had twice as much time. But he is asking for half again as…

I thank the gentleman from Georgia for his excellent work on House Resolution 501, which expresses what we as Republicans stand for as we fight to provide accountability for hardworking American taxpayers. {time} 1440 We are for certainty…

I would encourage my colleagues in this body to consider the balanced budget amendment and to support it. I do rise in support of this amendment because hardworking taxpayers know that out-of-control spending in Washington is killing job…

this hearing today is not about solar power. The hearing today is about the possible abuse of Executive power and of the taxpayers' money.

this is the first time you've been made aware of something

I think it does strike a reasonable balance that protects consumers while also allowing companies to provide beneficial information.

the truth is this administration, by its actions, calls abortion essential care.

there is no way that the Federal Government more effectively or efficiently runs a health care program than the private sector.

It was because of that subpoena--and that is exactly what Dr. Burgess was saying in his comments.

this is an issue that the taxpayers continue to come to us with. They're concerned about what took place with the Solyndra process and they are concerned that this is being repeated.

We all know that the ObamaCare bill allows for both the implicit and explicit taxpayer funding of abortion, and we all know that the Executive order signed by the President is not worth the paper that it was written on. It repeats the…

I want to welcome all of our witnesses here today. We are delighted to have you here to participate in this discussion, and as we talk about tech policy and the virtual marketplace today, we are talking about government regulating the use…

It is the curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.

I think that the nanny state, that government should be held responsible for how its IWG marketing rules will suppress free speech, choice, harm our economy, and fail at reducing, fail at reducing childhood obesity.

Government managers must learn from what is working in the private sector and apply these best practices to deliver services better, faster and at a lower cost.

We are very disappointed that you are not going to answer the questions that we have on behalf of our constituents and the American taxpayers that want to know what happened to the money.

What we are looking at is the cost-benefit analysis of this.

I think that what we are seeing is that the cost of compliance goes up, which means that these companies are not hiring new workers.

We are about fairness for the taxpayer.

I just think that, you know, when you look at this and you see that someone at DOE was asking those questions and was looking at that modeling, it should cause us to seek to do a little bit more review and oversight.

First I would like to begin by commending our Appropriations Committee for the extraordinary job that they have done to claw back this money and to reduce spending below the levels that we had last year or the levels in the CR. They have…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Chaffetz). The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Page 68, line 11, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $30,000,000)''. Page 68, line 23, after the…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. And, indeed, we are all for clean air; we are all for clean water; we are all for a clean environment. I think that during these times we have to look at how we're going to spend that money. And Mr…
