Amy Klobuchar

I feel like we are back again, 'Groundhog Day.'

We can't keep doing this, basically.

We have already lost a million jobs that we could have had in this country.

I view this whole thing as the way we get the economy going.

I think people are just going to have to start thinking of this differently, that it's not a--if that's a tax increase, I don't know what is, when the industry that uses the infrastructure wants to pay a higher fee so that they can have…

I can't think of a better person to lead this subcommittee.

There's long been bipartisan support for transportation issues.

That's why I introduced legislation--the Senior Fraud Prevention Act with Senator Susan Collins (R-ME)...

The Supreme Court's decision in Actavis provides a helpful path forward to challenging anticompetitive settlements that are likely to cause consumer harm.

Senator Grassley and I have introduced bipartisan legislation that would make pay-for-delay agreements presumptively illegal under the antitrust laws.

Consumers deserve to keep and use cell phones they have already bought--it's just common sense.

We are on this cusp of opportunity, and I don't want us to go backward by sending the economy into a downward spiral.

We think this has to be done in terms of the long-term debt, but the debt ceiling is not the place to play games.

I think that negotiations on that number could occur.

Do any of the witnesses think that the President will sign a bill, or the Senate will pass a bill that either defunds Obamacare or delays the funding of Obamacare?

I completely understand using a discussion of the debt ceiling as a way to talk about our debt, and I have been supportive of the efforts of the Gang of Eight.

As Senator Klobuchar has said, we have seen this show before.

I think this opportunity to reexamine these programs to see if there are ways we can ensure that they are more transparent and accountable without sacrificing the benefits they provide to national security is very important.

I have long believed that our laws must strike the right balance between protecting our civil liberties and protecting our national security.

Deficit reduction must be done in a balanced way that includes a mix of spending cuts and revenue.

We all agree that the tax code is broken. It is overly complex, out-of-date, and inefficient.

We have an opportunity to achieve a better balance of spending cuts to revenue with tax reform.

I think we're off to a good start with Senator Hatch working with Senator Baucus to move forward on tax reform together.

A decision by the President whether to veto or let the exclusion order stand is due any day now.

I wrote a letter to the full Commission actually urging them to promptly approve such a study.
