On Wednesday, May 7, 2014, I was at home in Wisconsin taking care of my amazing wife and our new baby daughter. Had I been present, I would have voted in the following ways: H. Res. 574-- A Resolution Recommending that the House of…

With all due respect, to those who may disagree with this amendment--I am seeing some bipartisan agreement; I know I have some bipartisan disagreement with this amendment--but to my colleagues, there are 90 programs that are aimed at…

I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 29, line 7, after the dollar amount insert ``(reduced by $3,420,000)''. Page 32, line 21, after the dollar…

Today, I rise to recognize Polk County Deputy Sheriff Michael Severson for his bravery, for his selflessness, and for his sacrifice in the line of duty on April 19, 1991. On that day, Deputy Severson was shot in the spine and suffered…

First, I want to commend the work of both Mr. Cole and Ms. Wasserman Schultz in producing a spending bill that doesn't actually increase spending. It doesn't actually reduce it, but it actually maintains it; and for this institution, I…

I think this is a fascinating debate that is taking place today, laying out truly the two versions and visions for America. My friends on the other side of the aisle have no interest in putting America on a pathway to sustainability. They…

The House has put out a responsible budget under the Budget Committee that balances in 10 years. But this is an opportunity for us to actually see the vision, the ideas of the Democratic Party. If they were in control, what would they give…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as I sit and listen to this debate today, there is no doubt the Democrats' position is let's just keep the status quo, don't change anything, let's continue on with our $17 trillion debt, let's…

If it is Thursday, it is throw-back Thursday. I want to take a look back to April 15, 2011, the House Republicans passed a budget that balanced. March 29, 2012, House Republicans led the charge to pass a budget that balanced. March 21…

I am disappointed that you have given the CFPB an opportunity to change its ways, to actually see that a problem exists and that they have a chance to change course.

But today is a hearing about discrimination at the CFPB, and I want to focus on the allegations that have been made specifically about the CFPB.

For me, that tells me the problem still exists. They are not embracing what you are sharing.

I want to be clear about our willingness to work with you to make sure that they are accountable for what has happened.

I appreciate the opportunity to testify on behalf of H.R. 3508, legislation I introduced to help address the long wait times and lack of access our Veterans are facing in regard to hearing health.

A bill to clarify the qualifications of hearing aid specialists within VHA.

I hope the committee will consider our bipartisan proposal and I think it goes a long way to making sure we are doing justice by way of the men and women who have so honorably served our country.

He cannot hear. This is unacceptable.

Thank you, Chairman Benishek and Ranking Member Brownley for holding this hearing today.

This is a proposal that will address the times and backlogs that our veterans have to receive services from the VA.

This is unacceptable.

Many people on this committee have a majority of their constituents who are not millionaires and billionaires.

Today I rise to discuss the issue of Medicare and Medicare reimbursement payments to doctors who provide health care for our seniors. Currently, the reimbursement formula for our doctors who provide these services is one that has become so…

I thank the chairman for all the work that he has put in on this consumer financial protection reform bill. This is really a bill about accountability and transparency. As has been discussed today, the CFPB is collecting information on…

I have to acknowledge that I am a little disheartened that my friends across the aisle are encouraging the defeat of a rule that would bring a vote to protect consumers from having the CFPB collect financial data on them. I know my friends…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for yielding time. As both you and the gentleman from Delaware mentioned, it is pretty remarkable that on the Financial Services Committee, a committee which comes together and doesn't always agree on the…
