I give Chairman Hensarling and Chairman Huizenga a hard time, but I have enjoyed working with Chairman Huizenga on the Monetary Policy and Trade Subcommittee.

But we need to invest in education and infrastructure, increase the minimum wage so that we can get more consumers spending money.

We want to get this slack, as you call it, out of the labor market, but Congress needs to embrace growth policies that will help working people.

Now I cringe at the austerity policies of this Republican Congress because I think it works at cross-purposes with your pro-growth policies.

I am on a letter with Mrs. Maloney to delay implementation of this because there is a concern...

I really would like to know how much this will cost.

I would like to enter into the record an assessment that demonstrates that government export credit pricing, Ex-Im Bank pricing, is on par with commercial markets, and demonstrates that the foreigners are paying more for credit than U.S…

I would say that there is a lot more risk from Wall Street and from the banking community than there is with the Ex-Im Bank.

The Ex-Im Bank has really worked very diligently and effectively at adhering to the 2012 mandates.

Thank you, so much, Mr. Chairman.

But what are we doing now? We are literally saying to those businesses that are supported by Ex-Im and all of the suppliers that go along with that, that this government does not care about them and their ability to do business, they don't…

We are wasting time while the anti-government, anti-American-worker wing of the Republican party works desperately to let the clock run out on the Ex-Im Bank.

The Bank is a U.S. job creation engine, reauthorization in the past has been bipartisan.

This being 'low-hanging fruit.' Low-hanging fruit, of course, being proxy language for the Bank being low-hanging fruit in pursuit of a larger goal of really dismantling any kind of governmental assistance.

I struggled to understand how this debate had become so dispatched from the reality of how the Bank operates.

I feel really compelled to address some of the mischaracterizations of the Bank.

Would it be catastrophic to our economy?

Someone has to start taking responsibility for that, because here we are, and things are coming back, but it took a long time, and a lot of people did lose their homes.

I still don't like putting 'Dodd' on there, mainly because all of the headaches or an awful lot of the headaches that we have have come about because of the 'Dodd' part of it.

I would like to remind my colleagues that with the poll numbers that are out there, we are not liked by anybody, so maybe we should all retire.

I see where the money goes, I see what the money does, especially in the smaller nations that need an upper hand.

It's important we raise the minimum wage to $10.10 and why it must keep up with inflation.

A minimum wage of $10.10 would bring me closer to that goal.

As I see it, there are two main hallmarks of 'reservation shopping'--when a tribe seeks to go a long distance from its homeland or existing Indian lands, and when a tribe chooses a casino site for obviously commercial or market…

I agree with her totally when she says that she is concerned about the welfare cliff: when we provide benefits to folks, and then as soon as they get up to a certain point, they are no longer eligible for welfare benefits.
