We must do all we can to encourage more individuals to save, whether through financial literacy programs, or through the Tax Code.

Pension benefits have been earned through hard work, and these employees have relied on these guarantees to fund their retirement.

It astounds me in this day and age that half of the people that get up and go to work every day in America are not in a retirement plan.

Today we should not allow the same thing to happen before we act.

It is an issue that deserves our much-needed attention.

I have said it for years: The cost of doing nothing is too high of a price to pay.

H.R. 5381, introduced July 31, 2014, by Chairman Tiberi, and H.R. 2117, introduced May 22, 2013, by Ranking Member Richard Neal are designed to protect longer-service participants

I suggested, Mr. President, why don't we do some modest tax cuts for middle-income Americans and continue to pay down the debt?

I would note that, as the chairman described, the response to Mr. Camp's proposal on the Republican side, I think it is fair to say, was more dynamic than the response on the Democratic side.

The biggest challenge facing Social Security right now is Republican budget cuts in the House of Representatives.

I am deeply concerned about the proposal several of our witnesses have put forth to cut Social Security's annual cost of living adjustments.

The best way for Congress to improve retirement security for all Americans is by protecting Social Security from benefit cuts.

I think we should think of a tax credit, a tax incentive as a spur to economic development in Africa.

I think that there will be an opportunity when we look to extend AGOA to address some of these issues in a vigorous manner.

I think it has got to be the White House that drives it.

Could you speak to what could be done in T-TIP or at WTO to otherwise help coax our European counterparts to provide more meaningful opportunities to comment on regulatory proposals so that Americans, American small and medium size…

If we cannot do the big, then let us proceed with the smaller bilaterals where we actually have had some success.

I suggested that we really focus the European trade proposal, T-TIP.

The point that I make on this is very simple. We started out with a bona fide effort to do tax reform. This is not the way to do tax reform. We need to go back to the drawing table and draft a proposal that the American people will come to…

The only thing that is missing is Oliver Stone. But there is time for that because there is an election 5 months from now.

If you came in here and said you agreed with everything that the Republicans have suggested, then they would say, We don't believe you.

Well, I am going to let you answer Mr. Ryan's question. Go ahead.

As you know, the President has set out a pretty assertive and a pretty aggressive trade agenda...

The passage of the ACA added years to that solvency

The problem is, as we discuss this whole notion of income disparity, one of the interesting parts of it is, while productivity has really been gained, real wages and salary haven't.
