I feel like it is springtime. And farmers plow their field; they have to plow the dirt before they go to work.

Because we all care about wasting money. We don't want money to be wasted on these subsidies.

We have probably 20 million people presently without health insurance coverage. Is that about what you think it is?

So they are free-riders.

I would like to raise a question about student debt. Can you give me any reason why students can't renegotiate their loans?

Every middle-class family in this country has put all their savings into their students' loans.

There has been almost no discussion of the $1.2 trillion in student debt which is hanging over our students.

I would take this hearing more seriously if, on the 7th of January 2015, the House had not passed a set of rules that set in place a 20 percent cut on these SSDI folks.

Now, if during the year John and Mary both have done good work and they get a pay increase, let's say they get $5,000 increase this year because the economy is recovering, so now they are making, not $70,000 together but $80,000, how does…

Despite the Republican's best effort at sabotage, the ACA is working.

I look forward to the day when Republicans do an about-face to accept their share of the responsibility.

So anybody whose pay goes up this year and is getting subsidies will have a deduction or have a reduction in the subsidy at the end of the year?
