"I won't tolerate another boardroom bailout or let a bill go forward to give taxpayer help to companies that don't need any more of it."

"I am on the side of employees counting on promised pensions, good guy businesses trying to meet their obligations and taxpayers who shouldn't have to bail out the PBGC."

"I will make sure that any legislation helps the people that deserve help."

"Today, about one-half of all U.S. workers have absolutely no pension, no savings plan whatsoever."
