I think one of the reasons that I felt so strongly about this over the last few months is that the leaders of Wall Street and the leaders of corporate America, they're spending other people's money.

This Administration refuses to force corporate polluters to pay for the harm they inflict on our environment.

If people know that there's no price they have to pay at the end of their lies and their cheating and their scandalous behavior, they'll just continue it.

I think we're going to get a lot of disclosure.

I had an amendment which was blocked by Senator Phil Gramm which would have said that not only does an analyst have to say that he or she owns the stock when they're making a recommendation, but that members of the immediate family, that…

I think it's a very interesting debate, and I'm working very hard to make sure that when we do make our move on this issue that we move on it in a right fashion.

I think the root cause of the scandal is thieving corporate leaders.

the Administration still refuses to support meaningful pension reform or a prescription drug program that works for all Americans.

The Administration wants to act on a case-by-case basis.

I do not. Because I believe what will happen then is the little guy gets squeezed out.

I think we need to take a look at how we can avoid that, because you're right, if they want to be hired again, then they ought to come down on the side of the business.

It's sad that... we used to count on... the checks and balances...
