Joe Barton: “the EPA has hurt jobs in Texas.”

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I want to thank you, sir, for appearing voluntarily without subpoena and standing or sitting there all by yourself.

I think that Mr. Flores and Mr. Shimkus have done a very good job in trying to patch together a compromise bill that's good politics.

It's obvious that, to me, anyway, this program is being abused.

It is not complicated if you are an elected member of Congress and all of a sudden Medicare recipients start showing up at their town, town hall.
