Too many Americans don't have access to easy payments systems and banking accounts, and I think this is something that a digital dollar, a central bank digital currency, could help with.

The Treasury and the Biden administration feel very strongly about having a Tax Code and enforcement of that Tax Code that is fair and doesn't unduly burden working people at the expense of corporations and wealthy individuals.

When Treasury--I mean, in this specific case, when the sanctions went into effect, there was a 45-day wind down period to allow U.S. businesses to conclude dealings and prevent undue or immediate harm to them.

The IRS is doing a terrific job in implementing the Child Tax Credit program.

The Emergency Capital Investment Program is a tremendously important initiative that will really strengthen the capacity of CDFIs.

It is very important to me that, as we work to solve the climate crisis and move toward a low-carbon future, we ensure that American families-- especially the most vulnerable-- share in the economic gains that can come from a clean energy…

We cannot solve the climate crisis without effective carbon pricing.

The President supports an enforcement mechanism that requires polluters to bear the full cost of the carbon pollution they are emitting.

We need a comprehensive strategy and a more systematic approach that actually addresses the full range of these issues.

In the long run, I believe the benefits will far outweigh the costs, especially if we care about helping people who have been struggling for a very long time.

I believe that it is imperative that the government does its part to catalyze an economic recovery that is both equitable and sustainable.

Right now, taking too little action poses the greatest risk to the health of our economy.

Members of the committee, these are very ambitious goals, and I know we will need to work together.

China is America's most serious economic competitor.

I signed the amicus brief because I was persuaded by the argument that Professor Card made and the strength of his empirical work.

I support, and will pursue actions that provide aid to fully distribute the vaccine, reopen schools, deliver badly needed aid to State and local governments.

Neither the President-elect, nor I, propose this relief package without an appreciation for the country's debt burden.

We must create an economy that works for everyone.

I am committed to leveraging the full powers and authorities of the Treasury Department to address issues of inequality as well as diversity, equity and inclusion.

Winning the economic competition with China requires us to make transformative investments at home.

Strategic competition with China is a defining feature of the 21st century.

The Biden administration will be willing to make use of the full array of tools to counter China's abusive practices.

These values must be reflected in our tax system as well.

Yes, we are committed to the cooperative multilateral effort to address base erosion and profit shifting through the OECD/G20 process.

We need to aggressively counter unfair practices that China uses.
