Kent Conrad: “I have now voted twice for the TARP money because I thought President Bush needed it and I thought President Obama…”

I do, and I made that argument to the commission, and others on the commission made some of the points that you are making now.

The one thing I know for sure is that what is happening now is not working.

We did a whole series of things in our Social Security reform not to discourage people from working, but to encourage them to continue working if they are able to do so.

I urge you to vote for the confirmation of Dave Turk. I urge you to do it quickly.
