We sit here in this Chamber under the In God We Trust motto. We sit here in front of this flag. We think about all of the people who came before us who sacrificed for this country. This is the most basic of things that we can do to restore…
I am here right now because the American people are demanding that we, the elected leaders in Washington--that we in the people's House--that we secure the elections of the United States. They are tired of wondering whether their votes…
Last year, we had five Democrats join with us and, this year, four Democrats joined with us. I think there will be pressure for a number of Democrats to join with us here and in the Senate.
we created this court. We can dissolve this court. We can determine the funding for this court. The fact of the matter is that we have a situation right now where judges abuse their power, plain and simple. The D.C. Circuit Court and the…
this amendment revises the scope of review clause within the bill and strengthens the codification of the Supreme Court's Seven County decision issued earlier this year. Now, my friend from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry) is the author of this…
my amendment shores up and strengthens the definition of what triggers an environmental impact statement. I offer this amendment to further improve the bill and prevent agencies from keeping projects in permitting limbo. Again, the driving…
of course, they maintain discretion. Agencies will have full discretion if we adopt this language, the discretion to consider the effects over which that agency or the cooperating Federal agencies have jurisdiction. That is it. What we are…
What will be transformative is giving individuals and patients the power to deploy the dollars in a tax-advantaged way, in a marketplace where they can go get the options that are best for them.
Right. If you have an F-250 pickup, right, and you have a crappy, little engine in there that doesn't work, but you add four-wheel drive and leather seats, and you do all this stuff to make it a nice truck, but it has a lawnmower engine in…
Because of a broken system created by wage controls post- World War II, instead of employers only being able to get the tax break when they give dollars to pay Blue Cross to provide some sort of plans and then you have to then further…
That is what we are talking about. That is what Republicans do. They have fallen into the trap of saying: Please give me the leather seats on the F-250, or I really want the four-wheel drive, or I really want a good bed liner and bed…
It is not just a holiday for white lights and garland and making merry. It is a holiday that serves as the center of who we are as a people. As the Speaker knows, sitting there in the Speaker's chair under 'In God We Trust,' it is that…
The last point, to that point, when our Republican colleagues, in particular, and other colleagues talk about all these things--we need transparency, we need association health plans--I support that. I support transparency, right? We need…
Then, would it not require us to simply say that you can leave ObamaCare in place? That can sit there and keep doing what it is doing, but we are going to give people this option, so employers can put it in there. If you are self-employed…
I wish him safe travel back to Missouri, and hopefully, next week, we can get busy saving the American people from a broken healthcare system.
--which is to stop subsidizing insurance companies, stop enriching insurance bureaucrats, and empower the American people?
For the average viewer out there who can't necessarily follow all this, if we distill this down simply, no matter what you call it, no matter how you define it, what we are simply proposing is that individual families, individuals, be able…
I would just add, in agreement with her, that, as I said before, this simply says that the Attorney General should provide to us, the people's House and this Congress, a list of all Federal crimes in statute and regulation, along with…
I rise this evening to say to the American people: Well, Congress is back. Congress is back because we were finally able to do our job after 43 days of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle, our Democrat colleagues, parading around…
I don't know anybody. I have yet to meet one person who supports it. Mr. Speaker, rather than my colleagues on the other side of the aisle coming together in a bipartisan agreement that we are going to, as the House, hip-check the Senate…
Today a united Republican Party and a bipartisan supermajority is going to pass a bill to increase transparency regarding the egregious abuses by Jeffrey Epstein, a goal that anyone of conscience desires. That is in totality an important…
It is beside my comprehension that this got put in the bill, and it is why people have such a low opinion of this town.
Mr. Speaker, here we are on September 19, House Republicans passed legislation which would have funded government through November 20. Here we are on November 12, and we are basically where we would have been had we just passed the bill…
This bill isn't being attacked because it'll exclude citizens from voting — it won't.
