Vietnam doesn't have freedom, Vietnam doesn't have markets.

They control our free speech through their ownership, and they control our free speech in China through all the devices that you have identified.

The way to deal with this is the Sanders-Sherman approach: Break up every institution that is over 2 percent of GDP.

I opposed the first five drafts of Dodd-Frank because they provided permanent unlimited bailout authority.

The problem we have, the problem that this committee has not fixed, is that the credit rating agency is the only game where the umpire is elected and paid by one of the teams.

Baltic States should at least match our 4 percent level and make up for the armaments they don't have.

NATO is important. Only one NATO country has been attacked during NATO, and that is the United States.

The foreign policy establishment has spoken. Everything that Putin does is wrong.

You can be sure that such loans will resume in the future unless Congress takes strong action.

We may be able, no matter how big the State Department is, to send five diplomats or ten diplomats to Six-Party Talks or any kind of talks.

We need to approach the problem of North Korea with both a clinched fist and an open hand.
