The housing market is instrikibly and inevitably linked to our progress as a Nation economically in growth.

We have to think beyond the traditional, and we have to do this.

I would just regret immensely if that nomination was not moved with deliberate speed.

I am still trying to get my hands around good old-fashioned derivatives.

Madam President, as a cosponsor, I rise today in strong support of the Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act. This is a bipartisan effort that will protect U.S. manufacturers from economic harm caused by unfair and damaging currency…
