If the next generation of Americans inherits a world economy where China continues to manipulate their currency given their growth, it is going to destroy American manufacturing.

Past U.S. administrations had refrained from identifying Beijing as a 'currency manipulator'.

I hope the Congress, the Democratic and Republican leadership, will get behind this bill because the time is long overdue to act.

We need to break that fear and do what's right.

People are dying for their Congress to work together in a bipartisan fashion to solve problems that affect their daily lives.

We borrow most of our money from China to pay our bills, and one of the biggest bills we pay is buying oil from overseas.

The current behavior of the Chinese government of manipulating the value of the yuan against all other currencies has a devastating effect in terms of the global economy.

They literally recruit millions of workers, put them in high-rise apartment buildings and set their wages, in a way that could never happen here.

there is no doubt that China is managing its currency to maintain it an undervalued rate.

If China were some island nation... manipulating their currency to kind of seize a market just to stay in business for a while, that would be OK with me.

If it is 25 to 40 percent below its true value, that means that a product produced in China... is getting a reduction in the cost of producing goods in China.

I want a good partnership with China. I want it to be mutually beneficial.

We're all living in fear of what China might do.

Our companies in Ohio and South Carolina are losing market share not because they are being outworked. They are being out manipulated.

Joe's my favorite Democrat and he's my favorite Republican.

I think some of you have been in that situation, maybe in the reverse role.

I want to recognize what Congressman Clyburn has done. He's been a great partner in dealing with this issue.

every lawyer that I know of who's appeared before her, regardless of their political persuasion or philosophy, has nothing but great things to say about Judge Childs.

I think when I get through talking you'll understand why we're proud of them.

under the law of war, it is lawful to interrogate someone.

I think it is a rational, logical decision, not generated out of fear or revenge, but out of necessity.

the decision to prosecute KSM in civilian court was a mistake.

I think you are making a serious mistake in the war on terror.

This is music to my ears because I think we do, also, because we are fighting a war, we do not have a viable jail.

I want to try to, if I can, you know, use some scenarios here to reassure people that the system needs to be improved, but is not completely by any means broken.
