Our constituents deserve better than narrow-minded political games.
There's Frog Jump on my GPS, so it's there. It's a real place.
I'm known up there as the guy from Frog Jump. And it's a good thing.
Chairman Hensarling is a good man who cares about America, and I respect him to the highest degree.
Trillion-dollar bailouts, bloated budgets, and boondoggle spending packages aren't working, at least for my friends and neighbors.
Kevin McCarthy is one of my best friends.
I may not be a polished politician, but as a lifelong farmer, I know that most problems can be solved with a little common sense.
The role of citizens, of Christianity, of humanity, is to take care of each other, not for Washington to steal from those in the country and give to others in the country.
Dust is part of rural America. It is completely unreasonable for the EPA to put a price tag on communities for carrying out activities essential to their well-being. This is a prime example of federal regulations gone too far.
We have to remember there is not a big printing press in Washington that continually prints money over and over.
This is other people's money that Washington is appropriating and spending.
Pat Boone is an icon in this country. He's not a guy who's going to pull the wool over people's eyes. He's going to tell them the truth.
I'm putting jobs over ideology.
Why should we make our constituents wait on job growth?
I strongly believe we must move forward with these much-needed reforms to the Ex-Im Bank by acting on a five-year reauthorization bill.
Transparency at the Export Import Bank has long been a concern and must be addressed.
We represent the people's money, and we have to be good stewards of that.
The farm subsidy program is something that was put into place over 60 years ago, and it was put into place to do one thing, and it's turned into something else.
Do we need farm program reform? Absolutely.
My constituents say, 'Congressman, have you balanced the budget?' And I'm going to say, 'Well, we're working on it.' And they are going to say, 'Well, Congressman, did you get rid of Fannie and Freddie?' And I'm going to say, 'Well, we're working on it.'
