Has established a record of success. We are just Getting Started and will continue that. Moderator ms. Bennett, your closing statement. Thank you to the chamber of commerce and all the sponsors of todays debate. On the campaign trail, my opponent likes to talk about making base hits. That is thinking small. America is a country of big ideas. Weve done it in our entire history. We can solve the problems facing the country today. It is a question of leadership. We need the right leadership with the courage to tackle the challenges head on. We need a congresswoman not only willing to do the hard work, but to take the hard votes. We can build an economy that works for everyone and yes, that includes equal pay for women. We can pass comprehensive Immigration Reform, strengthen the infrastructure, protect all of our citizens and invest in education. Dont tell me we cant do this. Its what we in the Business Community do every day. As a business woman i know how to find the opportunities and c

Stop people at their time. Ms. Moore so in that order, representative lee, ryan and lujan. I will stop you. Ms. Lee we know you will. Let me thank you, congresswoman moore, for once again offering this amendment to protect nutrition assistance. You know from personal experience, i know from personal experience, many know that the majority of people dont want to be on food stamps or on snap. They want a job, they want to take care of their families and live the American Dream. Snap helped lift 5,000 people out of poverty in 2013 alone, including 2. 1 million children. In fact, more than 70 of snap participants are families with children. People in every state and in every Congressional District experience food hardship. Yet this republican budget continues the trend of decimating Food Assistance in the longterm and hinkering with block grants which are really schemes that could endanger Food Assistance delivery.

Importers of the brandname drug. Cbo expects that the fee will probably increase the price of drugs purchased through medicare and the prices of the newly introduced drugs purchased through medicaid and other federal programs by about 1 .

In other words the Health Care Law spent billions of dollars on the provision that will increase drug cost for all seniors. With this being said, i urge a no vote on this amendment. I yield back. The gentlelady yields back. I appreciate that my colleague highlighted the cbo letter and identified that they said a slight increase of about 1 . It also mentioned in that same letter tha
The gentleman from virginia reserves and has 14 1 2 minutes remaining. The gentleman from minnesota is recognized and has 17 minutes remaining. Mr. Kline thank you, mr. Speaker. Id like to yield three minutes to another new member of the committee weve got an almost embarrassment of riches of hardworking new members the gentleman from my neighboring state, wisconsin, mr. Growthman, three minutes. Mr. Grothman glad to speak one more time on s. J. Resolution 8. Im make two points. Again. One of the things we see here is we have new rules which continue a trend and that is youre fundamentally changing the way things have been for 70 years. Ok. In the past, unions have done a good job organizing. We have added Union Representation to things. But one of the things that business wants and america wants is consistency. One more time no big problems for 70 years, we are turning things fundamentally around. Why is that bad . The gentleman from oregon just said this is no big deal because busine
