I was very puzzled, to be honest with you, sir, as to why AARP would support a $200 million cut to Medicare Advantage.

I hope that we get down to the real business, which I thought and I remember on both sides of the aisle, people campaigning back in November talking about job creation; jobs, jobs, jobs.

We have an obligation to do oversight to make sure that no one abuses the opportunity to be treated differently in the Tax Code than any other American who is paying his or her full share of taxes.

I don't believe this is any way to run the largest economy in the world or the smallest business on Main Street.

One of the ways that we do that is to pass trade agreements.

I appreciate all the hard work that you both have done, and Ambassador Kirk included, and the President, on the Korean agreement.

I look forward to working with you and Mr. Langevin in making sure that our wounded veterans returning home are rehabilitated, are counseled, and receive the medical care and encouragement they need to lead a fruitful life.

I stand today to support wounded warrior rehabilitation programs that support our brave military men and women who have sacrificed parts of their body for our freedom; men and woman who have sacrificed so much that today we can stand here…

You believe that the current bill allows people to keep their health care plan and their doctor.

The language in the bill over years will result in the American people having to leave their doctors that they like and leave their health care plans.

there are substantial cuts to Medicare in the area of $200 billion.

If there is language in the bill that says, as the President has said, that runs contrary to the promise that you can keep your health care if you like it, why would you not say 'yes' to that question?

if you like your health care plan you can keep it, and specifically for seniors.

Most Americans are just trying to figure this thing out. They need your help to do that.

I know one of the things that's come up is that the 1099 provision in the health care bill appears to be too burdensome for small businesses. It just involves too much paperwork, too much filing. It's probably counter-productive. It was…

Can you see why the American people are confused about this bill?

I think the American people have a credibility issue when you say that you're here to reduce costs.

I am going to vote ``yes'' to repeal this health care bill because I think the American people deserve better. There were promises made in this bill--promises, promises, promises. There were promises made and, unfortunately, promises that…

I thank the gentleman. Madam Speaker, there are a few words that have touched me over the last few days that I would like to share. First, thankfulness, thoughtfulness, prayerfulness, patience, wisdom, and hope. First we should remember…

I am proud that legislation that I authored a couple of years ago is now included in this rules package that we are about to vote on today. My bill requires each of the 21 standing committees in this House to post recorded votes on their…

Mr. Chairman, I rise to express my support for this bipartisan tax compromise. We need to do this. We need to do this to prevent a massive tax increase on the American people, on American families and on American businesses. The clock is…

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this omnibus trade package. I, along with my friend and colleague from Washington State (Mr. McDermott), urge all of my colleagues to support it. I am particularly pleased that this bill…

Monday we recognized the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It's important to recognize the work this country has done to ensure equality for people with disabilities, to make sure they experience a good quality of…

The American people are sick and tired of broken government. They are sick and tired of business as usual, which means no business at all. No business at all means no jobs. And why are there no jobs? Business is being taxed to the max…

I was home again this weekend and, guess what, the American people are still sick and tired of this broken government and business as usual, and so am I. They said that new government leaders promised them change, and that's what they got…
