Lummis Statement on Increasing the Debt Limit
Feb 4, 2010 -
Madam Speaker, two points I would like to make. One is this is not the same statutory pay-as-you-go as was in effect in the 1990s. During the years that President Clinton was working with a Republican Congress, they did balance the budget and they did create a surplus, but they did it using a statut...

Lummis: Pelosi Health Care Bill Worst Ever
Nov 3, 2009 -
Mr. Speaker, I lament hearing that people who attend TEA parties are somehow uninformed or misinformed Americans. They're hardworking Americans who are informed and have taken the time to become informed, and they know what's in this bill. But if you think that they have been misled into thinking th...

Lummis: Dems' Pay-Go Plan is Window Dressing
Jul 22, 2009 -
Mrs. LUMMIS. I thank the gentleman for yielding. Our deficit will soar to $1.8 trillion this year. The President's budget will triple our debt in 10 years and still under this bill be PAYGO-compliant. That is how disingenuous this bill is. This bill is so disingenuous that they didn't even allow it ...
