We are no longer debating what will happen when the President's healthcare law goes into effect. The Affordable Care Act, as it was written and is being implemented, is having the negative consequences on the American people we long…

The current recovery remains the weakest among all post-1960 recoveries.

America's employment-to-population ratio has actually declined by 1.1 percentage points.

The current recovery has produced 4.4 million fewer private payroll jobs since the cyclical low.

We are all pulling for a strong recovery.

Real disposable income per capita has increased by a mere 3.7 percent.

I think what has become clear as well is Obamacare is not ready.

What my constituents want to know, what happens?

My constituents are frightened. Like millions of Americans, they are now being forced out of the health care plan that they like.

So why should the American people believe you now?

What has become abundantly clear, the flaw is not the Web site, the flaw is the law itself.

It seems to me, at this point in time, we need a lot less political posturing and talking points and a lot more meaningful discussion.

Negotiations over the debt ceiling provide both parties with an opportunity to enact a 21st century strategy to put America's finances in order for the long haul.

America will not default on our debt. Nor will the debt ceiling be lifted without addressing the unsustainability of the government's finances.

As Nobel laureate Milton Friedman taught, the best single measure of Washington's burden on Main Street is federal spending as a share of the economy.

There is no way that we are going to default or miss interest payments or miss payments.

I can't think of a more important time to be doing exactly that.

Does anyone believe the President's and the Senate Democrats' position that we will pass a debt ceiling limit without any checks or balances on spending?

As I yield the balance of our time to the gentlelady from Tennessee, I make the case, this is simply choice. Those who want to stop fraud in ObamaCare support this bill. Those who want to turn a blind eye to that fraud oppose it. I yield…

Yielding myself 15 seconds, yesterday we learned the Federal Government is paying millions of dollars to prisoners for unemployment benefits, millions of dollars of your money to cons in prison. But don't worry, we'll stop the fraud in…

The $2,500 reduction in healthcare cost the President promised my constituents is nowhere to be found.

You know, my family is worried that if Obamacare is not ready for business, is it ready for their family, for their children, for their loved ones, and there are a lot of lives at stake in health care.

Why let impasse on other things be the enemy of the good, the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I believe we can get meaningful corporate tax reform. Very important for the future.

Net growth must become the national goal of the United States of America, and we should not do anything that discourages it.
