I agree it is time to have a sanctions policy that does not make it more difficult for the Afghan people to have a chance to rebuild.
I wish they had been interested 5 years ago, or 10 years ago, when it might have made a real difference
I believe that President Biden made exactly the right decision to withdraw from Afghanistan
The military designed the withdrawal, and executed the withdrawal, they were given every resource and every bit of support that they asked for
The same military leaders who have basically been wrong about Afghanistan for nearly 20 years now, wanted to leave troops in Afghanistan but leave them there forever
I appreciate that you have conducted this review because credit union customers are counting on NCUA to protect them from unsafe financial practices and products.
Our financial institutions need to be built around meeting consumers' needs, not taking advantage of them
I am concerned that NCUA is not doing enough to ensure that credit unions are living up to their responsibilities.
The continued removal of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian children from their families and Native communities under modern-day assimilation practices
The good thing about this big package is how many different ways we attack the climate crisis.
If you care about women, then you care about this bill. If you care about babies to being taken care of, you care about this bill. But also, if you care about child care workers who are so often paid barely above poverty wages, you care…
This one has it all. And we understand the only way it`s going to go forward is if all of it goes forward if the things that all of us have been working on have a chance to be in there and to move forward.
We`re still working on it. You know, I think of it this way. We`ve got 50 Republicans who`ve said no, they don`t want any part of this. But we`ve got 50 Democrats who are all in their own boats trying to row in the same direction.
Look, you remember what happened in the early 2000s. And that is we had Federal Reserve that was unwilling to rein the giant financial institutions. So a bit at a time they deregulate here, they turn a blind eye there. And those financial…
The elephant in the room is whether you are going to be renominated for a second term as Fed chair. Renominating you means gambling that the next five years with a Republican chair who has regularly voted to deregulate Wall Street won`t…
I appreciate your looking at it as a fighter. But I would also add one more year of propping up a corrupt government and an army that would not fight on its own would not give us a better outcome, and anyone who thinks differently is…
So, let me ask you one more question, Secretary Austin. Knowing what we know now, if we would have stayed for one more year, would it have made a fundamental difference?
I believe President Biden had it exactly right, withdrawing was long overdue. The withdrawal was conducted in accordance with the advice of his military advisers who planned and executed every step of this withdrawal.
Right. Well, literally for months now, Democrats in the Senate, Democrats in the House have been operating with one goal in mind and one understanding, and that is there is going to be a lot that needs to be done in the reconciliation…
That it was actually an amazing undertaking. It was done under chaotic circumstances because the government had collapsed, because the party had melted away the Afghan army and that even in the midst of all of that, our military was able…
The debt limit is not about future spending--it's about meeting obligations we've already made, like the bipartisan, overwhelmingly popular CARES Act.
So let me just ask, do you regret slashing liquidity requirements designed to protect markets from crashing like they did in 2008?
