"Each day, we report to our constituents that economic growth and putting Americans back to work is job one in Congress; yet very rarely does our agenda reflect that priority in this House. In fact, the request to name conferees to complete the budget process to grow jobs and grow the economy doesn’t get heeded over and over again."

"The Republican leader has told me for a couple of years: Why don’t we do our appropriations bills? We have the former chair of the Appropriations Committee, who is now the ranking member on the Agriculture Committee, he knows as much as anyone here about financial matters. He is a man who is a humble man, doesn’t talk a lot—and I don’t want to speak for him—but I think everyone here wants this institution to continue, wants us to do regular order. "

"Let’s not forget the farm bill strengthens our national security. Our country doesn’t have to depend on other countries for our food supply—countries that don’t necessarily share our interests or values—and that makes us safer. The fact is we are secure in that most basic, vital necessity—our food supply."

"Meanwhile, the President self-righteously proclaims citizens should trust his government. Americans distrust and fear government, especially the “Infernal Revenue Service,” because the President professes ignorance of actions of lower-level malcontents, then doesn’t adequately hold them accountable. Heads need to roll. People need to be fired. Others need to go to the jailhouse. That’s what Americans expect of the so-called most transparent administration in history. Then this administration that is incredible with words can earn credibility with its deeds."
