House Chamber, Washington D.C. November 7, 2009. M. Speaker: The question before us comes to this: will Congress force American families to surrender control of their health care to the federal bureaucracy?
There’s nothing optional about this law – the word “shall” appears 3,400 times in it – each time backed by the full force of the government.
You shall only get your health care through the government exchange.
You shall only select among the healthcare plans that the government czar has approved for you, whether they fit your family’s needs or not.

M. Speaker:
This week the House passed HR 3548 that extends unemployment benefits in states with unemployment rates over 8 ½ percent for an additional 13 weeks. The measure also continues the popular $8,000 tax credit for first time homebuyers and adds a new $6,500 tax credit for homebuyers who are currently homeowners.
When I was named ranking member on the Water and Power Sub-Committee in July, I noted that up until the last generation, the purpose of federal water and power policy was to create an abundance of both. And I noted that in recent years, abundance has been replaced with the rationing of shortages as the principal objective of federal policy.

M. Speaker:
I rise today in defense of dissent.
It is a sad milestone when it becomes necessary to do so. But the ferocity with which this administration is pursuing its critics in business and journalism is becoming alarming.
House Chamber, Washington D.C. October 27, 2009. M. Speaker: The last time our unemployment rate hit 9.8 percent was in 1983.
Ronald Reagan responded by cutting taxes and reducing regulatory burdens on the economy, producing the biggest peacetime economic expansion in the nation’s history.
Today, President Obama is doing exactly the opposite. Obamacare and Cap and Trade and many other bills promise the biggest tax increases and heaviest regulations our country has ever seen.
