The time is now to move towards a sound monetary policy, and I hope that we can see that.

I believe the idea of broadening the voting responsibility to all the District bank presidents is warranted.

I think it is a mistake to think of this as partisan. I honestly do.

Our schools are in trouble right now. We have declined since 1996, and they are in real trouble.

Does it compensate for lost jobs? No.

Well, it doesn't make sense to me why you would tie up all that land to protect the looting.

The establishment of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument has had a devastating economic impact had on the economy and people of my city and Garfield County, Utah.

From my point of view, more of these kinds of policies will not effectively lower unemployment. I think they are a mistake.

In summary, the establishment of the GSENM has hurt the local economy, driven our residence to find work elsewhere, and burdened local government to provide uncompensated services.

raising tax rates would be a terrible mistake at this point in time.

If you reduce the incentives for firms to invest and expand, you are going to reduce the incentives for them to create the jobs.

You tax something more, you are going to get less of it.

Congressional Republicans want to cure our spending disease in part by reforming entitlement programs.

It is a spending problem, not a tax problem.

However, it has been a very weak recovery by any historical comparison, and that is why the unemployment rate is still over 9 percent.

These false attacks must cease if Americans are to come together to reduce Federal spending and grow our economy.

Excessive Federal spending is our disease.

Is there not also an economic catastrophe that could and would await us if we were to raise the debt limit reflexibly?

If you bring them in, make them pay a fine, get a Visa, the ones who do not come in, those are the ones you need to chase.

I think the uncertainty caused by the additional regulations is causing people to be more cautious in businesses in general to stop doing what they would do.

I believe my testimony, both written and oral, did address the job issue. I think the most important thing to do now, based on experience and economics, is to create a stable fiscal policy, a sound fiscal policy which people can rely on…

the difference is you will actually have an agency whose primary focus is to ensure that the American taxpayer, the consumers, their interests are protected.

this has been the stepchild of legislation. That is why we had all this predatory and abusive lending, and that is what this is aimed to stop.

All that is being asked here is that you take the laws that Congress has passed and make sure that there is an agency that protects consumers and enforces those laws.

In my view, the Administration's plan would grant to the Fed significant new powers, more powers than it has ever had before.
