Congress should get the job done.

Congress should just do its job and pass a transportation-infrastructure bill - a regular bill that doesn't borrow money and mortgage my future.

We must take the time to do what needs to be done now, what is right, instead of passing a bad bill.

The bill that job creators and out-of-work Americans need us to pass is the one that ensures taxes won't go up - one that says Americans and small-business owners won't get hit with more bad news at the end of the year.

Can any of you seriously say the Bill of Rights could get through Congress today? It wouldn't even get out of committee.

It is time this Congress listened to the American people and minimum-wage workers, and it is time that we act.

Congress should... at least keep pace with technological advances.

We'll keep sending more and more conservatives to Washington, and we'll eventually get these bills passed. But don't be afraid to pass good, strong, conservative legislation.

We already spend too few days in Congress working on meaningful legislation; we simply can't afford to waste more time on legislation that doesn't move the needle to improve the lives of everyday Americans.

Since I joined Congress, I've been shocked at how many times we were forced to vote on 1,000-plus-page bills without ample time to read or review what was in the final legislation. It's no wonder Congress doesn't enact good policy.
