So we are now unfortunately number one in the world of percentage per capita of prisoners in the United States.

The nation is fundamentally broke. We are broke.

By the Congress doing what it has done and by the administration previous failing to, you have almost guaranteed the recidivism rate can't get any better.

I would challenge the Attorney General and I would challenge you, the previous one did not do it because of the Chamber of Commerce, you know, to really get behind this.

I think the more people go out to the Counterterrorism Center and see the number of pieces of information that come in every day and how they have to boil it down...

My views are as follows: I really want to find out what have we learned. What have we learned to protect the American citizens so that next time something happens we are safer?

Timeliness is very important.

I think we have an obligation to those people who have been persecuted, who have gone through this, to have these people that they then see living in the United States to be prosecuted and deported.

I will offer that as a motion at the mark up and just tell the gentleman from West Virginia, I will offer that as a motion.

I think to say that it is a tremendous recruitment tool is almost like saying well if we just shut it down...

A great nation needs a strong economic base to support its national security.

Almost ten percent unemployment in the country.

But China is stealing us blind.

Your revenues are down, your patent backlog is over 700,000, unemployment reaching ten percent in the country.

Yeah, I mean there is nothing, Mr. Chairman, to locking yourself into a metal box and driving from beautiful West Virginia driving downtown when you could just stay in West Virginia, and I think it has been one of the most successful.

We are anxious to hear how you plan on dealing with that.

You're leading the Patent Trademark Office in a very troubling and difficult and challenging time.

I am tired of just seeing us lose all these jobs, and where Americans could do the jobs.

We are in record debt. Anne Applebaum did a piece the other day for the Washington Post saying we are going to be Greece.

The country needs to create jobs. We need to create real jobs, where people get up in the morning, and go to work, and do things that make a difference for the country.
