I would urge that Social Security go back to its 12.4 percent rate.

At the end of the day, this is a bipartisan jobs bill, and in this economy it is not simply buy American, we have to sell American all throughout the world.

This is an opportunity for a bipartisan jobs bill at a time when our companies, our farmers, and ranchers are looking for, technology companies are looking for new customers and competing around the world.

Compulsory participation in the American Community Survey is the number one objection that I hear over and over from my constituents.

If the Census Bureau were to make participation in the American Community Survey voluntary rather than compulsory, most public opposition would disappear.

My hope is that this hearing causes the Congress to reconsider its impulsive decision, and that we act quickly to fully restore funding to these programs and give the job creators the tools we promised them.

Thank you for your leadership on this issue. The economic news has been pretty grim lately. Last month, America created a mere 69,000 jobs, the lowest in a year. The job growth has been cut by two-thirds just the last few months. The…

When China cheats, we lose jobs.

This recovery ranks, regrettably, tenth. And dead last is unacceptable by any standard.

I urge my colleagues in the House to pass legislation, such as the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act already passed by the Senate, to crack down on countries that manipulate their currencies to promote their own exports.

Four-and-a-half years after the recession began, Americans are enduring the 40th straight month of an official unemployment rate at or above 8 percent.

I wish you would look the market in the eye and say: The Fed has done all it can, perhaps too much.

I thank the gentleman from New York (Mr. Hanna). I rise in opposition to this motion to instruct. The motion to instruct would add to already stringent Buy American provisions in American law that apply to highway, transit, Amtrak, and…

Thank you, Doctor. I want to thank all of the witnesses.

Trade is vital to our economic engine, creating jobs and lifting wages here at home.

Chairman Brady Announces Hearing on Supporting Economic Growth and Job Creation through Customs Trade Modernization, Facilitation, and Enforcement

A sustainable fiscal policy requires economic growth.

If President Obama had the same growth rate of private sector jobs as President Reagan enjoyed, we would have over 6½ million more jobs today.

Sadly, however, economic growth and job creation are lagging under President Obama.

My goal, as Vice Chairman of this Committee, is to ensure that America has the strongest economy in the world throughout the 21st Century.

Sadly, however, economic growth and job creation is lagging under President Obama.

Under President Obama, the average real GDP growth rate has been 2.4% over the 11 quarters following the recession.
