Bob Menendez

Every dollar the Federal Government saves is going to have to come out of the pocket of seniors on Medicare?

It seems that it is still one of your top agenda items.

Ultimately block-granting means a loss of a right.

Do you recognize Medicaid to be a valuable program and consider the coverage it provides to 74 million Americans to be comprehensive?

There is no doubt that this would result in catastrophic loss of coverage for tens of millions of low-income families and lead to tens of billions in losses to safety-net and other health-care providers.

One of the most beneficial components of the Affordable Care Act was the expansion of the Medicaid program that resulted in 11 million people nationwide and over half a million in New Jersey gaining coverage, many for the first time.

Can you commit to this committee and the American people today that, should you be confirmed, you will swiftly and unequivocally debunk false claims to protect the public health?

For those of us who have both authored much of the laws putting the architecture for comprehensive and effective sanctions in place, and those of us who believe that the legislative branch must be an effective check on the Executive, this…

I'm disappointed that you wouldn't support new sanctions on Russia for, among other things, interfering in our election.

Sanctions that carry the full weight of law are a critical component of our national security strategy.

After Senator Menedez's office called OneWest, I learned that my sale had been postponed until next month.

When you look at the ACA, it is really a Trojan Horse for tax cuts for the well-to-do.

Now, Mr. Mnuchin, a month ago you signed documents and an affidavit that omitted the Cayman Islands Fund, almost $100 million of real estate, six shell companies, and a hedge fund in Anguilla.

I urge your attention to it, in terms of thinking about how this very well may happen, because those pensions were underfunded.

Well, we will have to look at the consequences of any such recusal, because there are three members of the board who get a vote.

Are you aware that, if you are confirmed as Treasury Secretary, you would become one of three board members of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation that has the power to either accept or deny a pension plan termination application…

I need to be convinced that is going to be your drive now that you are the nominee for the Treasury Secretary who is supposed to represent all Americans.

You engineered a highly lucrative equation that made billions on the backs of homeowners, seniors, minorities, and military men and women.

I see this as an example of privatizing profits, but socializing losses.

We highly regret that we made even one error, especially to the service men.

I am not worried about the industry. I am worried about your direction at your bank.

One does not go and create offshore entities, at the end of the day, other than to avoid, in some form or fashion, the tax laws of the United States.

The only reason to go offshore, as Senator Grassley said... is that the possibility of avoiding U.S. taxes.

Thank you, Mr. Mnuchin, congratulations on your nomination.

I believe the new Secretary-General's long experience as U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees will be a unique asset.
