Zitat des Tages von Tom Graves:
If there is wasteful spending, I will not support it.
We are accountable for each other.
Rather than negotiating yet another continuing resolution at the last minute, the appropriations process should work as it was originally designed, with appropriations bills passing the House and the Senate and being signed into law by the president, after robust debate, with a process for amendments.
Let's make it simple: Government control means uniformity, regulation, fees, inspection, and yes, compliance.
Our responsibility is to focus on the House. The Senate's the Senate.
What's great about our leadership is they welcome other ideas.
I've traveled the country advocating for the Fair Tax, along with Herman Cain, Neal Boortz, and John Linder.
There's one thing to say about John Boehner. He's a fighter. He does fight. And if there is somebody you want in the foxhole with you, it's going to be John Boehner.
I'm not one who wants to micromanage the Capitol Police whatsoever. However, if they see or feel that there are some greater opportunities to provide the same, if not better, safety and security for folks, I think Capitol Police should explore all those options - but not just focus that from a cost perspective.
We are united around a simple goal, and that is keeping the government open while protecting our constituents from the harmful effects of Obamacare.
From day one, my focus as a new-breed appropriator was to look for areas where we could save taxpayer dollars.
The Internet free marketplace is defined by fierce competition. And that competition has transformed the world with innovation, investment, and what we need most of all right now: jobs.
I do not wish harm on our constituents.
We must seize the moment and permanently delay the entire law. Congress can do this. We control the purse strings and can protect taxpayers from funding Obamacare.
I think it's fair to say that there's a lot of conversations between House members and Senate members on a regular basis, and I think that's what our constituents would expect, is to have bicameral conversations throughout the process.
Our objectives are clear. Let's keep the government open and protect our constituents.
If the goal of the DOT's rule is to prevent companies from deceiving passengers about the total cost of their ticket, why is the department mandating that airlines hide the taxes, surcharges and government fees in the fine print?
I'm a very results-oriented person. I want to see us move the ball forward.
Rather than do his job and agree to take responsible measures to get our government's finances in order, President Obama continues playing on the emotions and fears of the American people.
I'm confident that Senate Republicans will put up a very strong and valiant effort to continue doing what we're united around.
I guess I was always in awe at the amount of energy that surrounds Washington, D.C. My experience in coming up before was that it was a very, very busy place.
We've had years and years and years of compromises, and that's led to $14 trillion in debt.
You combine the Tea Party along with our support with the Republican base and grassroots, and it makes for a winning combination.
I think it's possible to have a conservative serve in a cardinal position, a subcommittee chair position, and be very effective.
I intend to vote against authorizing the president to use military force in Syria. The Obama Administration has not provided a clear or convincing strategy for inserting our military into the conflict. I am also deeply concerned about the extent to which al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists are involved in the rebellion.
The easy way out is to increase taxes.
I am confident that the Defense Department understands JSTARS is a major priority for Congress and will complete the process of updating the JSTARS fleet in a timely manner.
We need to make every effort to ensure Obamacare is never implemented.
There should not be a micro-managing of terminology with the Library of Congress.
