the G-20 is deeply concerned. They have confronted this debt crisis that is a crisis of confidence as much as anything.

I believe the taxes kick in in year one, and the benefits not to year four.

You have created this term 'jobs saved.' 'Jobs created and saved.' Now you've got well respected economists that believe this is a nonmeasurable number.

I would hope, as well, you would push the trade agreements with Colombia and Panama, as job creators as well.

I would not get held up over paying for a temporary one-time extension of unemployment insurance.

We absolutely need this extension.

I think that would be a helpful thing if the Administration would really push on China to float its currency. I'm with Senator Schumer on that.

I do hope you get a lot more aggressive on looking at this deficit. I don't want to see this crisis of confidence come to these shores.

You're not going to go with 15 percent ethanol?

Cap and trade--even if you support the idea this is a bad time for it.

We need faster, not slower growth rates taking place.

Businesses are not reluctant to hire because they are waiting to see what Washington will do for them, they are reluctant to hire because they're afraid of what Washington will do to them.

I rise to speak about Senator Byrd, as many of my colleagues have, and make a few comments about an extraordinary individual. Just the sheer numbers are very impressive. He was married for 68 years, elected to 9 terms, had more than 20,000…

I regret that on June 28, 2010, I was unable to vote on the confirmation of Gary Scott Feinerman, of Illinois, to be U.S. District Judge for the Northern District because my flight from Kansas City was delayed. I wish to address this vote…
