As we close, I yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Rodney Davis), the author of this bill.

I am proud to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Barr), another champion for veterans.

Yielding myself such time as I may consume, I have about 4 or 5 additional speakers to move through on this important bill. At this time, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Kelly), a fellow member of the Ways and…

The law is not working as was promised, and yet the President's budget doubles down on this law and requests another $1.8 billion for its implementation.

The law very clearly makes the case that tax credits are available only to individuals who are enrolled through the exchanges.

But, obviously, with the White House continuing to delay or change these, clearly, something is wrong or they would have left it in place.

Yesterday's decision by the White House to allow canceled insurance plans under the ACA to continue past the election, was that primarily a political decision?

Obviously, for something to change, the view has to be that forcing people into the Affordable Care Act is more harmful to them than allowing them to stay on substandard plans, correct?

But this is not a technical issue. I mean, until recently, both you and the President described these plans as substandard. As these plans still viewed as substandard?

If they are good--I don't mean to interrupt, but if they are good choices, why the change, if not for politics?

Very briefly, my friend from Georgia is a good man. I am surprised there aren't regulations about when you can send your kids up to clean their rooms again. Look, this is just saying to Washington: tell us what your goal is-- how you are…

We are going through a very disappointing economic recovery. Millions of people can't find full- time work; millions more have given up looking for work; and our local businesses are just drowning in red tape. They often ask: Doesn't…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 17, line 23, strike ``; and'' and insert the following: ``;''. Page 18, line 4, insert ``and'' after…

I thank the chairman and Dave Camp for leading this effort to protect our free speech. Whenever someone in Washington tells you don't worry, it is not really about free speech, trust me, it is. A lot of Americans are frightened by the…

this rule will destroy the foundation of the 40-hour workweek that's the backbone of the American middle class.

If you don't think this 30-hour mandate isn't hurting workers and cutting hours, you're in deeper denial than Justin Bieber.

the head of United Food and Commercial Workers says it is happening, so the facts are already starting to show up.

Economic mobility is very much alive. In America today the children of the poorest are more likely to climb up the ladder of success than the children of the wealthy are likely to stay where they are.

The challenge that we face today is too many Americans no longer believe the ladder of success is available to them.

We're not all blessed with equal talents, but in America, we should all have an equal chance to climb the ladder of success--driven upward by our personal initiative, and not burdened by the deadweight of a bloated government.

the American people are deeply dissatisfied with the President's leadership on the economy.

the decline in the unemployment rate is largely due to falling labor force participation.

the unemployment rate has declined from its peak of 10.0% in October 2009 to 6.7% today.

the best monthly private sector jobs report of the Obama recovery is lower than the equivalent of the average private jobs report of the Reagan recovery.

the measure of America's compassion is not how long we provide unemployment benefits, but how soon we get people into good-paying jobs.
