Congressional Record entries

Entry Title Date
Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act Of 2012—Motion To Proceed May 14, 2012
Kay Hutchison, R-TX
"Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Tennessee. It is interesting, because there are four of us on the floor right now--the Senator from Wisconsin, the Senator from Tennessee, the Senator from Wyoming, and myself. We have one thing in common. Every one of us has run a business. Every one of us was in business before we came to the Senate. So we know when we are talking about new taxes--which is all we hear from the administration--that is not going to help this economy grow, because our small businesses are scared to death out there."
Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act Of 2012—Motion To Proceed May 14, 2012
Kay Hutchison, R-TX
"Well, of course. And the spending issue is very interesting. I look to my colleague from Tennessee, who is really one of the deficit hawks in the Senate, and when I look at the statistics that are being put out about the entitlement spending, the entitlement spending today is over 50 percent of our spending every year--mandatory spending. In 10 years it is going to be 75 percent of the spending in this country."
Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act Of 2012—Motion To Proceed May 14, 2012
Kay Hutchison, R-TX
"I want to ask the Senator from Tennessee, because he brought this up, not only is it so clear there is more going out than coming back in, what would he say to the fact we also--not we, because he, along with myself and the Senator from Wyoming--voted against the Obama health care bill, but interestingly, with those numbers the Senator just quoted, that bill cuts $500 billion more out of Medicare to pay for that overdraft the Senator is talking about. He was talking about a generational change as well. Oh, my goodness."
Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act Of 2012—Motion To Proceed May 14, 2012
Kay Hutchison, R-TX
"I am so pleased the Senator from Tennessee brought that up because there is a way for us to at least fix one of the entitlements in a relatively painless way, and that is Social Security. It is going to have a few changes that some people will not like, but it could be so gradual if we do it now. We could simply raise the age 3 months a year."
Voter Photo Id Laws May 10, 2012
Ted Poe, R-TX
"Mr. Speaker, when people fraudulently vote, they infringe on the rights of lawful voters. One solution is to require valid photo IDs. The Supreme Court has upheld photo IDs to vote, but some object."
