We have had a record 60 straight months of private-sector job growth.

Let us put the recent progress in perspective.

I have listened to my colleagues across the aisle complain about how the recovery is leaving too many people behind.

Today, under the leadership of President Barack Obama, the unemployment rate is 5.5 percent.

I believe that my Republican colleagues are looking at this issue in the wrong way.

I know that thousands of comments came in to my office, and all of them were in favor of an open Internet and net neutrality.

President Obama saved the auto industry. He saved the auto industry and he saved the Internet.

You would not have to be a security or a law enforcement professional to recognize that there are some very serious problems with your department, with the United States Secret Service.

the No. 1 goal of government is to protect our citizens and to protect our population.

In your deliberations, I hope that strong consumer protections for foreclosures are considered a plus, something for which States should be rewarded.

I think this was an important decision. We should be rewarding States that put strong consumer protections in, not penalizing them.

It is a pleasure to welcome our former colleague and good friend, Mel Watt. You are missed on this committee.

passage of the Affordable Care Act was, in fact, an open and extremely transparent process.

Chairlady Klobuchar has a bill in to create 100 STEM high schools across this country.

It is one of the highest unemployment rates for youth that I have seen in my lifetime.

For these individuals, Medicaid is a lifeline and Governor Cuomo has taken seriously the long term sustainability of the program.

I have introduced legislation, the Minorities and Women In STEM Booster Act to encourage more Americans from these sets and these communities to think about a career in science and technology.

It is a priority of President Obama to encourage more young people to go into STEM, particularly Minorities and women.

Financial reform, done properly, takes time.

This legislation bears your name and was the most sweeping overhaul of our financial regulation since the Great Depression.

The SEC has a critical role in our economy because it is responsible for overseeing and regulating the Nation's capital markets.

Thank you, Chairman Garrett, for holding this very important and timely hearing.

I have always said that markets run more on confidence than on capital, and I believe that is particularly important right now.

I have to think that 865 organizations and businesses can't be wrong, I tell you.

I fail to understand why we would in any way want to disrupt an agency that is helping export American goods, create American jobs, and is not costing taxpayers any money.
