It is important for us to hear, not only from people like Rosa... but it is so critical to hear from those who are the recipients and then those who provide the work, the services, like Beth.

We will make that the first female President then.

I think it is absolutely critical, though, that the community, the local community, has some skin in the game.

It is absolutely critical that we keep intact for a while the COPS grants program.

I think it is sad that the 50-percent dropout rate--I mean, that is just an unacceptable number, and I think that is one of the things we have to address.

One of the ways that poverty can be reduced is taking people from places that there are a lack of opportunities and moving them to places where there are opportunities.

Nothing is more important, I don't believe, that the government does to intervene on behalf of individual citizens than the Medicare program.

So I think the key is, how do you match the payment methodology at the same time you are improving care.

If data cannot flow freely, 21st century commerce cannot happen.

We want to get it right because it is about creating jobs across this country and having the ability to sell our products across the globe.

The United States is far and away the world's leading exporter of digital goods and services.

This is United States leadership, and we are once again leading toward a more prosperous, open, and interconnected future.

I am sorry. The ACA, then, is in violation of its own law which requires that you have at least two choices.

The President promised Americans that if they liked their plan they could keep it, if they liked their doctor they could keep their doctor. Well, that turned out not to be true.

ObamaCare has proven time and time that promises made were not kept. The President promised affordability, yet the law continues to drive up premiums and deductible costs.

If we did not provide care for them, would they have any other recourse, any other place, any other source, or any other way to do anything except, as Representative Rangel suggested, die?

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title) insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

Trade jobs pay more. So if we want to talk about raising the minimum wage, one of the ways to do that is to trade with the rest of the world.

If we are going to be in this global economy--and we are--we have to lead.

Education and technology and science is really where we need to prepare our young people in looking forward to this new global trade environment.

Trade agreements are an effective tool to lower these barriers and open markets for America's agricultural exports.

I am particularly concerned about the World Health Organization's attempt to impose restrictions on dairy products for young children that have no basis in science.

More needs to be done to tear down tariff and nontariff barriers to U.S. agriculture.

We want the rest of the world to buy American products, not Chinese products.

Two-thirds of the jobs supported by agriculture exports are outside of farming.
