We have. Now what we need to do is to spend some serious dollars on implementing that technology that Alstom and others have.

I do not think we can turn the clock back. I really do think we need to move forward aggressively in this area.

To me, that is going to cost hundreds and hundreds of thousands of jobs.

The Chesapeake Bay has been struggling for a long time with sedimentation, all kinds of nutrients and so forth that have led to, that are killing parts of, vast parts of the Chesapeake Bay.

The folks in the Chesapeake who make their living off of, as watermen, do not much like this. They have called on their elected officials to work on the rest of us to try to clean up our runoff.

If this led to having Congress, once again, take up comprehensive climate change legislation, we think that would be a wonderful thing.

If we choose wrong here, the implications are very, very serious.

The UAW believes strongly that the regulation of tailpipe emissions under the Clean Air Act will help bring about these benefits while also creating jobs and helping to ensure a smooth and stable recovery for the auto industry.

We need coal, we need really clean coal actually, but put bad stuff up in the air and it just blows our way.

The real loser is the American consumer.

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are essential to the health and retirement security of millions of Americans.

I think people are going to have to ask themselves the question: which populations do they want to drop?

The Affordable Care Act will begin to bring down the per capita costs of health care throughout the system, including in Medicare.

Repealing the Affordable Care Act would cause needless economic harm and would set back efforts to create a more disciplined and more effective health care system.

And we will fight any budget plan that extends deficit-busting tax breaks for millionaires and the wealthiest Americans and at the same time, rolls back Medicare and Medicaid health services, and Social Security protections for seniors and…

We recognize that a variety of measures are necessary to accomplish that objective, but we will vigorously oppose any effort to undermine the integrity of those programs.

The challenge before us is to make these vital programs sustainable over the long haul, given the spending growth trends.
