With the way my Republicans colleagues have been fretting over the success of the Affordable Care Act exchanges...

This is one of the biggest reforms our country has ever made and we are only 4 weeks into it.

Why was it the country didn't go into default or disappear from the face of the Earth because of this reckless spending that had been done by these Presidents?

So what they are talking about when they want to cut Medicare spending, they are really saying, we are going to cut what the government will spend for old people.

This is not a hearing. This is a battle, and it is a typical political battle where one side is throwing up dust and trying to confuse everybody all over the country about what is happening.

The Majority has been crafting a scandal narrative to support their truly relentless agenda to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Let me just put in here one fact that people are not paying any attention to today on poor people.

Nobody here has to make a decision whether you feed your kids or not.

This hearing is surreal. It ought to be about jobs not about poverty because if everybody had a job there would not be any poverty.

The issue of access to medicines has been central to some of our concerns, and it seems like the language you have put in is really a step back.

This committee does a lot of things here, but most of them are irrelevant. But it seems to me that we ought to be dealing with GSP if we are serious about our relationship with the rest of the world.
