White House Chiefs of Staff

My commitment, if you confirm me, is to the President of the United States.

I do not dispute there was a short-term cost. I do not know if I agree with the exact billion dollar figure.

A full repeal of the ACA with no replacement will be a massive tax break for wealthy Americans because of two high-earner taxes in the law.

I think that would dramatically undermine the full faith and credit, and I think most experts have said that prioritization scheme would be a disaster.

Any individual who has a seriously delinquent tax debt should be ineligible to be appointed or to continue serving as an employee of the Federal Government.

A full repeal of the ACA with no replacement will cause many people to lose health insurance.

We should never jeopardize the full faith and credit of the United States.

This President will not tolerate the type of abuse that you just referenced, and you have my absolute commitment to do just as you request.

I have learned that I do not have a monopoly on good ideas. Facts--and the cogent arguments of others--matter. I will be loyal to the facts and to the American people . . . I serve.

Absolutely not. I would not recommend that to the President.

Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.

I vehemently urge House Republican leadership to use every available tool to strip Planned Parenthood of any and all taxpayer funds and take measures to prevent the group from receiving taxpayer dollars in the future.

The truth is that if we do not reform these programs that are so important to your constituents in Vermont and to mine in South Carolina, I believe in 9 or 10 years the Medicaid trust fund is empty.

I think those folks would be heartened by what they saw out of the President on Saturday.

Everything that we're talking about here today... happened since the CFPB and Dodd-Frank.

Does this organization reflect you?

I can't tell you how disappointed I am to even have to be here today.

I've got to tell you, as someone who considers himself to be a free market Republican, a part of me has been uncomfortable with where some of this hearing has gone.

I admire and respect that and believe that you are doing that.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I have had my say. I move approval. I reserve the balance of my time.

It is hard to argue with that. This money is going for counterterrorism. It is going for the preposition of assets. It is going for reassuring our allies. It is going to combat Mr. Putin or constrain him in Ukraine. I am a little hard…

I have an amendment at the desk. Actually, I have four consecutive amendments at the desk.

That was the quickest 25 pages I have heard in a long time. Amendment Offered by Mr. Mulvaney
