  1. The House will vote tomorrow on a "no budget, no pay" bill to force the Senate to finally join us in confronting our government's spending problem. It's been nearly four years since Senate Democrats last passed a budget, a shameful span during which one could make 179 trips to the moon and back. Click below to find out more about what could have been done with that time.
  2. President Obama told me several weeks ago at the White House that “we don’t have a spending problem.” Yet when you look at what’s driving our deficits in this chart from the American Enterprise Institute, “it’s spending that’s above normal”... while tax revenue is at “its historical average of around 18%.” Washington does have a spending problem, and the sooner Democrats and Republicans come together to make real cuts and meaningful entitlement reforms, the sooner we can begin unleashing robust jobs growth in America.See More
  3. I sat down with the Wall Street Journal’s Stephen Moore on Friday to talk about Washington’s spending problem, and the need for spending cuts and meaningful tax and entitlement reform. The president may not be serious about cutting spending and solving our long-term debt crisis, but I am. And I will never give up.
  4. I’m honored to have been elected by my colleagues to continue serving as Speaker of the House for the 113th Congress. We’ve got a big job, and big challenges. Our gov’t has built up too much debt. Our economy is not producing enough jobs. As I told my colleagues on the House Floor a short time ago, it is time to rise. When the day is over, and the verdict is read, may it be said that we well and faithfully did our duty to ensure freedom will endure and prevail. So help us God.
  5. Getting critical aid to the victims of Hurricane Sandy should be the first priority in the new Congress, and today I reaffirmed that with members of the New York and New Jersey delegations. The House will vote Friday to direct needed resources to the National Flood Insurance Program, and consider the remaining requests on January 15th -- the first full legislative day of the 113th Congress.
  6. As the U.S. House waits on Senate Democrats to act on the fiscal cliff, I’ve advised members to stay close to the Capitol this evening in case of further votes. The House has passed legislation to stop ALL tax hikes on families and cut gov’t spending – the real driver of our debt. With hours to go until the January 1st deadline, the Democrats who control the Senate have yet to pass anything.
