Statements and Speeches

» Hoyer Statement on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, January 28, 2009 As you know, we are dealing with one of the worst economic climates in memory: 2.6 million jobs lost last year; the worst housing market since the Great Depression; financial turmoil that has threatened the savings and retirements of millions.

» Hoyer Statement on Resolution Disapproving Release of Remaining TARP Funds, January 22, 2009 I don’t often quote myself. But today, I think that every Member of this House is thinking back to words we said in a similar debate four months ago, and wondering whether we can still stand by them.

» Hoyer Statement on State Children's Health Insurance Program, January 14, 2009 If you want a picture of American healthcare, in all its excellence and squalor, there it is: The best doctors, the latest technology, six weeks of hospital care for a sick boy, at a cost of $250,000—in a country that can’t find $80 to fix a toothache.

This one marks a responsibility that endures: our responsibility to an ally and a friend, a partner for peace and a fellow democracy, the State of Israel; our responsibility to stand by Israel and the Jewish people in a world where friends so often seem outnumbered by threats.

» Hoyer Speaks at National Press Club on Historic Election, Congressional Agenda, November 18, 2008

» Hoyer: An Emergency Like This Calls for the Courage to Compromise, October 03, 2008 On Monday, the salient dividing line in this House was not between parties: It was between those who understood the dangers of doing nothing, and those who had yet to be convinced.

» Hoyer Floor Statement on Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, September 29, 2008

» Hoyer Floor Statement on Renewable Energy and Job Creation Tax Act, September 25, 2008 I support this bill for two reasons. First, because it provides essential tax relief to American families and businesses. And second—and just as importantly—because it is paid for.

» Hoyer Statement on the Paycheck Fairness Act, July 31, 2008 ‘Equal pay for equal work.’ When we put the principle as bluntly as that, I doubt that anyone in America would disagree. It is a basic ideal of fairness: The value of work lies in a job well done, not in the gender of the worker.
