| 06:46:21 |
|
I THINK IT'S SPORNT IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT, WE -- IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT WE DID HAVE A PLAN FOR... |
| 06:48:40 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, ONE THING YOU ASHREWDED TO WAS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL... |
| 06:51:00 |

ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICE -- MR. ROE: ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED, I WENT HOME THIS WEEKEND, THESE... |
| 06:53:27 |

|
I THANK YOU, MR. AKIN, FOR TAKING CHARGE OF THIS SPECIAL ORDER THIS AFTERNOON. YOU'VE BEEN DOING A... |
| 06:58:31 |
|
WHAT YOU SAID THERE WAS A MOUTHFUL, BUT IT REALLY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE, DOESN'T IT? WHAT WE'RE DOING... |
| 06:58:42 |
|
TO PAY FOR THE PRODIGAL. MR. KAY IN-- |
| 06:58:49 |
|
ROBBING THE PRUDENT TO PAY FOR THE PRODIGAL. I THINK WHAT HE'S SAYING IN VERY FANCY WORDS IS, WE'RE... |
| 06:59:15 |
|
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. |
| 06:59:19 |
|
PROCEED. |
| 06:59:20 |
|
THERE'S ANOTHER QUOTE, I THINK IT'S MARK TWAIN THAT SAYS WHENEVER YOU ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL, YOU'LL... |
| 07:00:59 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, THAT'S WHAT'S CONCERNING. THAT'S WHY THE STOCK MARKET GETS HAMMERED DOWN IS BECAUSE... |
| 07:01:36 |
|
I WANT TO THANK THE CONGRESSWOMAN FOR BRINGING THAT UP. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT TAXPAYERS UNDERSTAND... |
| 07:02:53 |
|
IF I COULD RECLAIM MY TIME. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REPUBLICANS GET ACCUSED OF, WE DON'T HAVE ANY... |
| 07:04:26 |
|
I KNOW YOU ARE AN ENGINEER, BUT I ALSO KNOW YOU KNOW A GREAT DEAL OF HISTORY. IF MY MEMORY SERVES... |
| 07:05:29 |
|
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. MAYBE I ASSUMED TOO MUCH. CERTAINLY, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. J.F.K. CUT... |
| 07:06:25 |
|
WOULD THE GENTLEMAN YIELD? I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE POINT OUT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OVER AND... |
| 07:07:02 |
|
CONGRESSWOMAN FOXX, YOU HAVE A WAY OF MAKING IT STRAIGHTFORWARD AND PLAIN. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF GUESTS... |
| 07:07:17 |
|
OBVIOUSLY, ONE OF MY HEROES IS THOMAS SOWELL WHO IS A STUDENT OF DR. FRIDMAN. AND DR. FRIDMAN STATED... |
| 07:07:43 |
|
WHAT YOU SAID WAS SO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND. IT'S SUCH A BASIC PRINCIPLE THAT WE SHOULD NEVER, NEVER... |
| 07:08:03 |
|
IF YOU WANT MORE PROGRAMS, YOU CREATE PROGRAMS THAT SUBSIDIZE THOSE AND YOU'LL GET MORE OF THOSE GOVERNMENT... |
| 07:11:55 |

| 07:12:26 |
|
AND I THANK THE GOOD DOCTOR FROM TENNESSEE PUTTING THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE... |
| 07:14:18 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, THE PROPOSALS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, THEY ARE SCORED BY DIFFERENT ECONOMISTS AND... |
| 07:16:06 |
|
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT I HAD A COUPLE OF BUSINESSES THAT CAME TO D.C. STARTING TO MAKE -- STRUGGLING... |
| 07:17:10 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. YOU KNOW, THIS PICTURE HERE DOESN'T MAKE THE STOCK MARKET FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE.... |
| 07:18:14 |
|
ONE OF THE THINGS TO GO WHAT MY GOOD FRIEND FROM OHIO WAS TALKING ABOUT ON THE CAP AND TRADE SO PEOPLE... |
| 07:19:31 |
|
JUST RECLAIMING MY TIME. CERTAINLY THERE ARE THINGS THAT COULD BE DONE THAT WOULDN'T COST ANYTHING.... |
| 07:20:04 |
|
WILL THE GENTLEMAN YIELD? |
| 07:20:07 |
|

|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. I'VE SEEN THOSE NUMBERS. ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE AVERAGE FAMILY IN AMERICA, WHAT... |
| 07:22:00 |
|
THAT'S UNFORTUNATELY WHAT THEIR PROPOSAL SUGGESTS. THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE AND THE PRESIDENT'S... |
| 07:22:15 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE, YOU'RE SAYING WE HAVE ANOTHER $1,000 IN THIS DEAL?... |
| 07:22:22 |
|
$1,300 IS THE AVERAGE. $1,300 IN ELECTRICITY TAX INCREASES. |
| 07:22:32 |

| 07:23:42 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, GENTLEMAN. YOU SAID IT SO SIMPLY. WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN, I YIELD? |
| 07:23:47 |
|
THE PRESIDENT'S BUDGET SPENDS TOO MUCH, IT TAXES TOO MUCH AND IT BORROWS TOO MUCH. AND REPUBLICANS... |
| 07:24:23 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. MAYBE MY MEMORY IS FOGGY. I THOUGHT I RECALLED THE PRESIDENT SAYING HE WASN'T... |
| 07:24:42 |
|
WELL, ONLY AMERICANS WITH JOINT FILINGS OVER $250,000 A YEAR WOULD EXPERIENCE HIGHER MARGINAL RATES... |
| 07:26:17 |
