This morning, 80 million Anthem health insurance customers woke up to learn their personal identifiable information could have been stolen.

Last year in the House I offered an amendment that would strengthen victim notification requirements.

I think the consumer has the right to know about that sooner than perhaps waiting a week as we try to walk the fine line here of law enforcement and not creating a mountain out of a mole hill.

I think as we lean one way or the other on this, I would just urge us to lean toward a quicker response, defining that.

So when you look at the Clinton years, we actually raised the top two rates on Americans, asking them to pay a little bit more to help balance the budget, created 22 million jobs, and actually saw a robust economy, asking folks at the top…

The Bush years, which everybody seems to want to go back to, President Bush's years only helped those at the top, left everybody else waiting and holding their breath--will it trickle down?

Now, we are back. Again, in 2012, we asked those at the top to do a little bit more. Our friends said the world would end. It did not end.

I appreciate your efforts to address currency manipulation in international forums like IMF and the G-20, but these actions have not kept pace with increasing adverse impacts of currency manipulation.

If we can work that out, we can probably work out some of these issues as well.

I think the President's idea has merit.

My hope is that we can move forward on trade, including TPA.

What that is going to do is, as we know, it is going to tighten up the labor market and hopefully is going to have a positive effect on wages.

Why are the retailers disabling their terminals, for example?

This issue is hardly a partisan one. In fact, it is distinctly bipartisan, involving stronger protections for sensitive consumer data.

Thank you. First of all, my thanks to Senator Moran for his leadership, and in a very bipartisan way.

Consumers expect retailers collecting their sensitive personal information will do everything in their power to protect that data.

I am troubled by the failure of retailers to take responsible steps to protect their consumers.

I would suggest that that approach to preemption is broader than this committee should consider.
