I read that my lifelong dream is to serve as speaker with Hillary Clinton as president. So what?
Tom Foley was a statesman, and it was a privilege to serve under him when he was the Speaker of the House. He loved our country. He was a gentleman. I had the privilege of seeing him a couple days before he passed away.
Presidents and speakers for over 100 years had tried to pass affordable care for all Americans. It was challenged over and over. The Supreme Court declared it constitutional.
Let me just say as one who has been speaker of the House, I've had to have a very thick skin about every kind of thing that was thrown at me.
We in Congress stand by Israel. In Congress, we speak with one voice on the subject of Israel.
The federal budget should be a statement of our national values. Sadly, the Republican budget fails that test.
It's clear that the elections in California , Virginia, New Jersey and across the country were a rejection of the misplaced priorities of the Republicans in Washington, D.C. ,
It was a bill that was anti-family, anti-taxpayer, and anti-American.
The message from this budget is, not only is the federal government not going to be there for you, it's going to make matters worse for you and use you as an excuse to give tax cuts to the wealthiest.
They'll take food out of the mouths of children in order to give tax cuts to the wealthiest.
This isn't about whether you want to protect the American people or not, this is about whether you want to obey the law.
This isn't about small government. This is about small-minded, petty government that does not meet the needs of the American people.
Port security under the Bush administration is full of holes.
I feel very confident about where we are.
