A plan that will put us on a pro-growth path, but also a plan that will preserve and protect Medicare and save it for future generations. I would ask my friends across the aisle to stop pandering but to join us in bold leadership, and I…

On rollcall No. 126, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.'' personal explanation

When does it balance with all those tax increases?

So when does it actually balance when you include interest?

I appreciate the gentleman from Arkansas yielding. I want to take a couple of steps back in this conversation and first talk about the national debt. Many Americans are well aware that today we owe well over $15 trillion in national debt…

I appreciate the gentleman for telling that compelling story. All of us have stories like that from people in our districts, from our own family members, our friends, our constituents; and this is a very important issue. That's why I think…

I appreciate the gentleman from Wisconsin yielding. I think it is important that we are clear about what this bill truly does. This bill exclusively deems the St. Croix River consistent with the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. That's all it…

I appreciate the gentleman for yielding. I think we are all aware that this issue came out when Peter Schweizer wrote a book called ``Throw Them All Out.'' After that, ``60 Minutes'' did a special story about how Members of Congress were…

We want to keep it immune from political activity.

It is our responsibility to make sure we do our job.

There is no oversight. I think that is one of our concerns.

I think it is important to share that power so we don't have this continual divide in a very important agency.

I appreciate the gentleman from Florida for yielding. I think it is important that we review the history of Federal employee pay freezes. In the last Congress, this came up under a Democrat-controlled House, a Democrat-controlled Senate…

I want to thank the panel for coming in today.

I appreciate the gentleman from Georgia yielding. I think it's important to note as we have listened to a debate that went on all day today that there really is no difference within this House whether we should extend the payroll tax…

I appreciate the gentleman for yielding. I am sick of the demagoguery. I think it is important that we truly talk about the facts. This is not a debate about whether we're going to extend the payroll tax holiday or not. This is a debate…

On rollcall No. 930, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.'' ____________________

If customer segregated funds are the ones that are missing, they do not have SIPC protection... they should be first in line in any circumstance whatsoever to get this money back.

Madam Chairwoman, I want to thank you again, and alert the witnesses that the Chair recently marked up a piece of legislation styled 'Homes for Heroes,'

We were told that the CFTC had asked us not to get involved in an investigation; that they were going to proceed with the investigation.

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. As I sit on the House floor here, I listen to the debate, and I hear a lot of conversations that are off-topic. We are talking, on the other side of the aisle, about payroll taxes and unemployment…

I think the American people want sunshine. Sunlight disinfects.

I think we should take the full step and leave no gray area with what Members of the House, Members of the Senate, the President, or the Judicial Branch do in regard to their trades.
