It is hard to make the case that these policies are working.

I think it would be appropriate for the Fed to begin to consider exiting from these policies.

I warned that these kinds of policies would cause risks and would be harmful to the economy.

Those requirements were removed from the Federal Reserve Act in the year 2000. Those should be put back in.

It is very important to have a target for inflation, but that is not enough if it is accompanied by a do-whatever-it-takes philosophy.

We want those who are unemployed to be job-ready on day one.

Senator, thank you very much.

Today there are literally tens of millions of Americans who can't find a full-time job.

I don't think so. You might want to contact Sherrod Brown. He might have some better luck doing it.

What may happen, Madam Secretary, is that they may choose to put all their employees into the exchange.

But there is a lot of concern from everyday people out in my district at least regarding the implementation of this bill.

So no delays. That is great news. No further deadlines missed. That is great news.

Well, you are not on track to meet it. That was the question.

So you can assure this Committee there will be no further deadlines missed, no further delays in the implementation of the exchanges?

And since the bottom of the recession, you are more likely to be forced to go to food stamps to feed your kids than actually find a new job.

To that point, I would be cautious about claiming that the slower growth in healthcare costs come from ObamaCare.

I think the only scare we heard was the witness' claim that Republicans want to end Medicare as we know it.

I appreciate Mr. Reed's concern about the need to save Medicare. The clock is ticking. We need to act now, Republicans and Democrats.

But what we really need are 1,000 more doctors and nurses, not more IRS agents.

The President's new law is not helping families or local businesses, and this budget does nothing to offer them relief.

I challenge you and the President to save Medicare for its own sake, not conditioned upon wringing tax increases from hardworking Americans.

One of the top priorities for this Committee is to act now to save Medicare so that every generation of seniors can count on it.

Over 70 percent of small businesses said the President's healthcare law prevents them from hiring new workers.

Both Republicans and Democrats can agree that Americans need the right kind of healthcare reform, reform that lowers costs, improves health and protects the vulnerable.

Will you commit to authentic tax reform, fix this broken code for small businesses and families as well as big businesses?
