The goal of the gainful employment regulation is unclear and the logic supporting it is quite fuzzy.

If they are not doing the right thing by students, we do not want them in the system.

Basically I think an awful lot of States are antiunion, and, in my opinion, when they are antiunion, they are actually antiworker.

Tonight, by extending the Bush-era tax cuts, the greedy will prevail, and the needy will fail to receive desperately needed social services going forward. Even the so-called middle class Bush-era tax cuts will deliver six times the benefit…

We have said that FVPSA keeps the lights on for these programs, and it has always done a great job. The beautiful thing about this program is that the reauthorization authorizes more activities to help us better treat children, in…

This is a vitally important bill. In my state of Wisconsin alone, it will save the jobs of 2000-3000 teachers. With the school year right around the corner, it is essential that we keep these teachers in our schools--where our children…

I want to thank Chairman Rahall for yielding and including in his manager's amendment a provision I authored that would ensure that citizens living in the gulf coast region will be able to have input into the work of the Gulf Coast…

I want to thank Chairman Spratt for your leadership to secure this needed benefit in the federal appropriation.

Oregon has been hit very hard by the recession.

There is $5 billion available to states and that money is very targeted so that it does go directly to families in need.
