the focus now is not on tax increases. It is on programs to help us through the pandemic.

I feel this is a really critical area, both because of the pandemic and longer-term.

It will be my core focus, if I am confirmed as Treasury Secretary, to focus on the needs of America's workers.

We finally got them off of it.

If I am fortunate enough to be confirmed, I would strive to be a good partner in that work.

I think it is guilty of horrendous human rights abuses, yes.

I certainly believe in a fair and progressive tax code where wealthy individuals and corporations pay their fair share.

We need to invest in our infrastructure. We need to invest in R&D. We need to invest in training and workforce development.

You can count on me to do that in a bipartisan way.
