What They Spoke On

Debt and the federal balance sheet run through nearly all of Schweikert's indexed remarks. Economic anxiety leads at eight and the fiscal situation at six, with borrowing, the budget resolution, the debt clock and two headings on arithmetic accounting for most of the rest.

The business the Congressional Record printed their remarks under, counted, with the chamber's own procedure left out. It is what was before the chamber, which is not always what the member was addressing.

Where the Words Are

The Congressional Record marks David Schweikert as speaking in 69 items of business across 46 sitting days of this Congress.

Many of those appearances are procedural: yielding time, a request to revise and extend, a call for the yeas and nays. The count comes from the Record's own speaker tagging, which is not complete, so a member may have spoken more often than it shows.
