Kevin Brady Quotations

Our focus is on ensuring America has the strongest economy in the world for the next 100 years and to do that, we need to get to the role of the Federal Reserve and we need to get it right.

And I am convinced that a single focus on preserving the purchasing power of the dollar, in effect, guarding against inflation or deflation, actually creates a solid foundation for the greatest job growth and the strongest economy that America can have.

What we lack is a good, strong business climate with lower taxes, fairer regulation.

There is a difficult leap between talking about balancing the budget and actually doing it.

This bill, the Sound Dollar Act, is all about looking forward about the role the Fed should play.

And again, President Obama's health care plan really is another drag on the economy. Until we get Washington out of the way, this president's recovery is going to continue to rank dead last.

We're going to have to find a way to serve our constituents and our taxpayers better and quicker and more accurately with fewer workers. I'm convinced we can do it and we don't have a choice.

I would ask the citizens not to go back to their old routine,

My guess is that all hands will be on deck, ... Those who are formally in leadership, and members who are influential and not in leadership by title, will all be fully engaged. That means Tom DeLay will be fully engaged.

needs everyone's attention this hour, right now, and it doesn't matter whether it's the state or FEMA or the Corps of Engineers.

I feel even deeper for them, hurt even deeper for them, because these were the communities and counties that first opened their hearts and homes to Hurricane Katrina victims, ... And now they need our help.

He has fought for us and fought for us and fought for us and now we have to fight for him.

Most of these counties have absolutely no power and no fuel, period and it is hotter than blazes, ... Ice has got to happen today and generators have got to happen today, because nursing homes and senior centers need them.

I think there's a much better chance, where before there was no chance.

Overall, we have to guard against favoring one type of business over another or creating changes that make troubles plans suddenly look solvent,

The American public will know if this is a violation of the law or a prosecutor abusing his power.

With the way energy costs are rising, people are a lot more concerned with what their bills are going to look like -- electric and gas.

While we think much of our help can come through traditional disaster relief programs, we know there will be expenses above and beyond that, ... We don't want those smaller communities to have sacrificed and not come out whole.

There is just a difficult leap between talking about balancing the budget and actually doing it.

We left the door wide open for his return.

East Texas needs everyone's attention this hour, right now, and it doesn't matter whether it's the state or FEMA or the Corps of Engineers. I don't really care whose fault it is. It needs help now. These communities are the last to complain, but they've reached the end.

We need to change the way we spend. We need to find ways to start paying for Katrina.

opens the door to a stronger effort for reform of the corporate tax system. Phil English and I have talked about this and have agreed we would like to make this permanent at some point.

Right now the urgent needs in these communities are ice, fuel, water and power. The delay in generators is a major, major problem across Southeast Texas.

This shelter's a Godsend for these families. They have no place to go,

I never imagined I was anywhere close to the legal limit, ... I take full responsibility for my actions.

I'm certainly not going to return it, ... Tom DeLay has been fighting for everything important: less taxes, stronger national security and to protect our families. He has helped us restore sales tax deductions to Texans, and he played a key role in getting federal road dollars.

I know how he operates, ... The person I know is not the one I read about.

I predict there will not be many who do return the money, ... MoveOn.org does not carry much weight in our office. Let's let the facts speak for themselves. Let's have it all out in the open.
