I think it's really key for us to get Congo and probably, as I mentioned, four countries in that region more stabilized.

I want to recognize you and your longstanding commitment to these difficult issues around the world.

I have been pushing them to do this. It really makes a lot of sense to do it.

I would urge you to look at that and I would hope you could look at this possible joint facility at Leavenworth.

we want to get away from this government bubble, fiscal and monetary policy, and start to ease off the pressure on that in a slow and prudent fashion.

I am concerned about weakening the Fed's independence, institutionalizing 'too big to fail,' and perpetuating the status of Fannie and Freddie as zombie banks.

Several of us in the Congress have joined on to a bill to press on China to allow its exchange rate to float.

It is my intention to offer an amendment that will eliminate the special status afforded to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

These costly and most likely inefficient programs will stay with us forever and be paid for by hard working Americans.

I urge you to resist any attempt to delay raising interest rates in order to offset these anti-growth policies.

Chairman Bernanke, I urge you to resist any attempts to delay raising interest rates in order to offset these anti-growth policies.

The Senate bill would establish a permanent bailout fund for large financial institutions that may exacerbate this problem.

I think we are in a path that is not a good one, and that at any point in time the markets could start to react negatively to our fiscal problems.

The budget deficit in 2010 will exceed 10% of GDP.

if the Chinese are not going to allow this float to take place, that we should be forcing this through trade policy, through the possibility of sanctions.

I wish today to join with the American Red Cross and celebrate March as American Red Cross Month. Throughout the history of this organization, the American Red Cross has demonstrated not only their fierce and patriotic loyalty to this…

this is a very simple but very important amendment in the sense that the new surtaxes on Medicare, on wages, and on unearned income are not indexed for inflation. All of my colleagues are familiar with the problem we have had with the…

I got to know at Leavenworth that's working on the operation to stand up Afghan security forces.
