When you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it. Why do we want to make it harder for small employers to hire people?

The bill that was about jobs, jobs, jobs has turned into a bill that's about spending, spending, spending.

Our challenge, our opportunity is to pass common-sense solutions ... that repeal ObamaCare and replace it with patient-centered reforms that will help our constituents have better access to high-quality health care in America.

The American people think the government in Washington is too big. That it spends too much. And - and that it's totally out of control. They want something done about it.

Earmarks have become a symbol of a Congress that has broken faith with the people. This earmark ban shows the American people we are listening and we are dead serious about ending business as usual in Washington.

We ought to be judged on how many laws we repeal.

Trust me. I'm going to make sure this healthcare bill is never, ever, ever implemented.
