Congress cannot go on with this 'snooze button legislating.'

The Treasury Department will have a key role to play on climate.

The good news is, Chair Yellen is exactly the right person to lead the Treasury Department through these big economic challenges.

I believe that under Chair Yellen's leadership, there will be a return to the productive relationship we expect between Treasury and the bipartisan members of this committee.

The committee does want to move expeditiously.

I hope she will be on the floor on Thursday.

I think we all understand that the country has been hit by an economic wrecking ball.

I also want to put on the record that the Treasury's record over the past 4 years on this was dismal, on things like FinCEN. It has got to do better, but do it in a bipartisan way.

What a shame. Anybody who doubts Chair Yellen's commitment to policies that give everybody a chance to get ahead, just has not been paying attention.

Congress cannot go on with this snooze-button legislating.

Right out of the gate, the Biden administration and Congress need to send major relief to America's working families.

I expect that you will respond to inquiries from any Senator on this committee, no matter which side of the aisle they sit on.

At the Federal Reserve, Chair Yellen challenged decades of conventional economic wisdom that put too much focus on inflation and deficits.

My top economic priority going forward is avoiding the mistake Congress made in the last recession--taking a foot off the gas pedal before recovery took hold.

Nobody deserves more credit than Chair Yellen for the longest economic expansion that we have seen in our history, which lasted until the pandemic hit.

America knows that they are getting mugged at the pharmacy counter.

I am developing a proposal to reform the taxation of capital gains for the top three-tenths of 1 percent of taxpayers.

Who better to lead the Treasury Department and help kick off the next economic expansion than the person who did so much to bring about the last one?

I am looking forward to working with Secretary Yellen on all these issues, and more.

The outgoing administration had a different approach. They were big on corporate tax giveaways.

My top economic priority is avoiding the mistake Congress made in the last recession, which was taking a foot off the gas pedal before recovery took hold.

This is the second time in 12 years that a Republican President leaves the office with the economy in ruin.

My plan would tax wealth like work, and it would minimize the ability of those who are particularly well-off to just defer, and defer, and defer paying their taxes.

The good news is Chair Yellen knows that going small on economic relief would be a big mistake.

This administration drove away our economic allies. It actually isolated us in the crucial fight against trade cheats in China and elsewhere.
