What are the tools and resources you are going to need to do it better?

I would say, we can consolidate the way we communicate between the different Services.

I love the fact that they want to do everything and be everything and be the head of everything.

I'm certainly looking forward to casting my vote for you.

To me it is. Clearly, if we do nothing, small businesses are going to get creamed, taxpayers are going to get hurt and, most importantly, patients.

It is more and more expensive. If you follow what some of my colleagues want to do, they want to privatize it further.

If you count accountability, still allowing them to cut people off for preexisting conditions, no. It allows them to keep abusing the system the way they have.

They keep talking about our bill. Health care costs will go up. Health care costs are going to go up a lot faster. It doubled in the last 7 years, and it will double again, if we do nothing, in the next 6 or 7 years. Who is going to pay…

There is already Medicare, which seems to work for a lot of people, and Medicaid, which seems to work for a lot of people. You have military bases in your State, as I do, one of the greatest Air Force bases in the country, and they have…

This language now is anti-competitive. It will help the drug companies reap billions of dollars more in profits. It will restrict access to all kinds of life-saving drugs for people and too many Democrats have sided with the drug industry.

I also co-sponsored S. 904, the Fair Pay Act.

I co-sponsored S. 182, the Paycheck Fairness Act, which gives America's working women additional support to fight for equal pay.

On average, women earn just 78 cents for every dollar paid to their male co-workers.

That's why I was such a strong supporter of the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that restored a worker's ability to fight for her rights in court.

The Paycheck Fairness Act and the Fair Pay Act will not end discrimination in America.

For every man out there working, women earn 77 percent of what men earn in these areas.

The gap is even larger in the African-American and Hispanic communities.

Rosa, you have been a champion, as Tom Harkin has been, throughout your career: one of the most vocal and successful advocates for women and families for as long as I have known you.

The rate of young veterans committing suicide continues to rise at alarming rates.

Presidents of both parties, have typically not sent letters as they do when servicemen and women are killed.

There is legislation I introduced called the IMPACT Act, which would set up a Federal revolving loan fund.

Thank you for your focus especially on manufacturing, what it means to the auto supply chain and helping those companies get credit.

We have to do more to make sure that companies like Kitchen Kaboodle can gain access to credit.

How do we help manufacturers who want to do that in these more difficult credit times?

Solving this credit crisis on Main Street is going to require multiple strategies.
