the crisis reminded us how important a healthy mortgage market is to our economy, not just to financial stability, but to families' ability to build wealth and strong communities.

I personally find it exceedingly strange and inappropriate that many States require hair barbers to have a license, but someone filing very complicated tax returns does not need a license.

Not only do the victims, who are disproportionately low-income and vulnerable populations, lose millions of dollars to these schemes each year...

It is imperative that Congress authorize any further military action against ISIL.

This is the most critical vote that any Member of the Congress will take, which is basically a vote on war and peace and life and death.

I look forward to getting some answers from our witnesses that will allow us to move forward in writing and passing an authorization.

I believe that an AUMF against ISIL should better reflect the President's promise and the strategy he has laid out to the American people.

If we passed an ISIL-specific AUMF, would the administration have any objection to specifically saying that the ISIL AUMF supersedes any preceding authorization for the use of military force in this engagement?

There are those who believe that it is up to our local partners on the ground to ultimately take this war across the finish line.

But in my view, we still face challenges. Most Americans are still waiting for the recovery to show up in meaningful income growth.

I have introduced legislation, called the Better Education and Skills Training for America's Workforce, that would provide a robust tax credit for businesses that pay for training for long-term unemployed workers.

This provision of law specifically states that QHPs cannot reimburse health centers an amount lower than the Medicaid PPS rate.

If the companies are on the hook for having to pay recruitment fees, they are going to start making sure that the recruiters are not doing anything that is illegal.

I wrote that section of law when I was in House of Representatives.

If Congress acts to force the President's hand in the next few months by overriding his veto, and if doing so contributes to the collapse of negotiations and our heading down the path toward a military confrontation, Congress, beginning…

For years, Congress has played a significant role in authorizing nuclear sanctions on Iran, and I am proud to have taken the lead role in what has been a bipartisan effort to pass a series of sanctions that more than anything else has been…

Neither are desirable.

I do not want another North Korea.

Congress should vote on the agreement, just as the Senate would ratify any important treaty.

I hope that we will find a bipartisan way for this Congress to responsibly weigh in.

I totally agree with you about the dual containment and what we did in Iraq, which is one of the reasons I voted against the Iraq War when I was in the House of Representatives.

I think we should be moving to reauthorize the sanctions that Congress passed.
