How is it that Congress passed a health care bill that is "counterproductive" to American employers?

We are writing to urge you to remove from the proposed amended version of H.R. 847 the Title III revenue raisers related to international government procurement. First, its purported revenue raising benefits are highly questionable…

I would point out, our Democrat friends have run the first and second highest deficits in American history the last 2 years. They have raised taxes this session $625 billion, and guess how much went to reduce the deficit? Not one dime. In…

Here we are, playing political games.

Final point: These dollars won't be used for deficit reduction. Democrats and the President have signed seven bills, $625 billion of tax increases, in the last 2 years. Guess how much went to deficit reduction? Not a dime. It all went to…

It's hard to believe that either hammering consumers who can help pull us out, or the small businesses that can create jobs, is a very good economic move.

Yesterday's House vote on a bill that is dead on arrival in the Senate was a terrible waste of time.

Energy jobs are not expendable in America, especially with so many people out of work.

The government cannot take up positions against business, investment, wealth creation, domestic oil, gas, and coal production, and free trade and then expect the economy to grow.

I think obviously construction and manufacturing are major parts of our economy.

In the last two years, if you look at the seven, technically eight bills, that have gone to the White House and been signed by the President that raised taxes, $625 billion, almost as much as this tax increase they voted to do yesterday…

Congressional Democrats and the Administration have not been attending to their responsibilities.

The question is, has the White House met its economic promises, and are we positioned for long-term growth?

Have President Obama and Congressional Democrats met our demographic challenges and improved our long-term economic prospects, or have they diminished them through an ideologically driven expansion of the size and scope of the federal…

On November 2, 2010, the American people will judge the economic policies of President Obama and Congressional Democrats and may direct a midcourse correction, much as professors do with their students at midterm.

Have President Obama and Congressional Democrats spurred private investment and job creation with their 'stimulus' spending, or have their policies added costs and uncertainty that have weakened the recovery?

The unemployment rate has never been below 8.0 percent and actually rose to 9.6 percent in August 2010.

The United States is 7.2 million payroll jobs short of the Democrats' promise.

I don't understand why Washington's pursuing the policies it's doing; that has produced a recovery three times weaker than 1981 and 1982.

I think leaving Congress without letting the will of Congress be held and be known, to put lawmakers on the record of whether they support these tax increases or not, whether they're serious about jump-starting the economy, I think, really…

For the first time since Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of the Treasury, financial market participants are actually questioning the long-term creditworthiness of the U.S. government.

Where lax enforcement of our laws may exist, Congress should fulfill its duty in its role in conducting proper oversight.

By the standards that the Obama administration set for itself, its stimulus plan has failed miserably.

Since February 2009, the private sector lost 3.1 million payroll jobs.

I support equal compensation for men and women, and our nation's laws that are in place to ensure women are not discriminated against in the work place.
