Entry Title Date
The Food And Drug Administration Safety And Innovation Act—Motion To Proceed May 17, 2012
John Barrasso, R-WY
"Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded."
The Food And Drug Administration Safety And Innovation Act—Motion To Proceed May 17, 2012
John Barrasso, R-WY
"Mr. President, I come to the floor today, as I have week after week since the President's health care law was signed, to talk as a doctor, someone who has taken care of patients all around Wyoming, someone who has run the Wyoming health fairs, giving low-cost medical screenings to thousands of citizens around our State, and someone who knows we need health care reform in a way that gives patients the care they need from the doctor they want at a cost they can afford. There were so many promises made with this health care law that I come week after week because there are so many broken promises."
Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act Of 2012—Motion To Proceed May 14, 2012
John Barrasso, R-WY
"Well, I would tell my colleague from Texas, who has been a leader in this fight asking for a budget, demanding a budget, as of today it has been 1,111 days since the Senate passed a budget, in spite of the law that says they must do so by April 15 of each year. So April 15 came and went this year, as it did last year and the year before, and yet there is no budget."
Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act Of 2012—Motion To Proceed May 14, 2012
John Barrasso, R-WY
"I would tell my colleague and friend from Texas, who is a wonderful student of this as well, this health care law is bad for patients, it is bad for providers--the doctors and nurses who take care of those patients--and it is terrible for taxpayers, who are going do get stuck footing the bill. So it is not a surprise this administration doesn't want to come to the Senate, is embarrassed to come to the Senate with a budget, because they know the American people would be so offended by the irresponsibility and the nature of such a budget."
Export-Import Bank Reauthorization Act Of 2012—Motion To Proceed May 14, 2012
John Barrasso, R-WY
"I just want to thank my colleagues who are here today sharing their time and their insight. They have a lot of insight because they have run businesses, they have worked to actually meet a budget and live within a budget, have dealt with government regulations. And the Senator from Texas was talking about these regulations. They are burdensome, they are expensive, and they are time-consuming. It is hard to budget when you don't know what to expect. That is what the American people who create jobs and who work jobs need--some predictability and some certainty so they can make wise decisions. And when you have a Congress led by the Democrats in the Senate who do not pass a budget, the predictability isn't there, the certainty isn't there. There is so much confusion and uncertainty that people have a hard time making the longer term decisions."
