There is no safer place in the U.S. banking system to put your deposits.

We have a responsibility to deliver for the American people by working together to draft and pass funding bills.

Thanks to the funding the Democrats passed, the IRS is now answering 90 percent of its phone calls.

We need a modern IRS.

This is a tragedy that affects each and every one of our States.

I view the two challenges as interconnected, and believe that Russia and China are working in concert to reshape the international order to our disadvantage.

CMS needs to stay in its lane. FDA is in charge of drug approval, not CMS.

I don't know what more evidence you could need than a Stage III clinical trial.

It is just extremely frustrating, as is the fact that the President's budget does not provide additional funding, specifically targeting Alzheimer's research.

I am disappointed that I haven't received an answer to that letter which was sent more than a month ago.

Furthermore, 200 Alzheimer's researchers have also written to CMS, and said there is no question, but that this drug should be allowed for patients who are receiving Medicare.

I just do not understand CMS's misguided and outright unprecedented decision to not cover a whole class of Alzheimer's drugs.

It is not CMS's job to second guess the drug approvals of the FDA.

I want to express directly, too, my deep concern and disappointment about that agreement.

Well, this does not strike me as a good deal for the taxpayers or for the consumers that you are charged with protecting.

You need people to be at work. You need people to be in the office.

Now, some of our colleagues, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, has recommended that we raise up to $2 million or even up to $10 million.

Well, I want to switch to relate it by different topics. But to me, it creates a situation where you are rewarding very wealthy depositors...

There is no safer place in the U.S. banking system to put your deposits.

The full faith and credit of the United States, that is to pay our bills on time like every families expected to, is not something that should ever be held hostage to score cheap political points at the expense of working people in this…

I do expect from you a detailed plan about how the IRS is intending to use IRA money.

Not getting that done would be catastrophic for our economy, so I hope we can do this in a straightforward, bipartisan way, as we have many times under both Republican and Democratic leadership.

Families, of course, are also counting on us to raise the debt limit, you just talked about this, without drama, without delay.

We need a modern IRS. And that won't just mean fewer tax cheats, stifling families when it comes to paying their fair share.
