I want a change of the rules here.

We need startup businesses. And I agree with you with some of these regulations that some of the smaller startups have to deal with, including getting them capital.

We need a willing partner, not a party that seeks to disinvest in America's future and threaten our vital society and our social safety net without regard to the damaging impact of austerity on our economy and its recovery.

We must get the economy moving so our hard working Americans can enjoy a rising standard of living.

We acted swiftly to turn things around.

I just don't think it would fly today.

Congress has the fiscal policy tools, I believe, that we need to act.

What did the Government shutdown do to you?

Those 16 days were just about the darkest that I can recall ever going through.

I always come back both amazed and inspired.

We had to turn them away, hundreds of them.
