We have got to get a technology--I am not sure that human interaction piece is going to be----

It would seem to me that equalizing cards on a same standard makes common sense. Give me a reason why not.
It is my strong hope that as we approach this issue, we recognize, rather than pointing blame at each other, the only way this is going to work to protect consumers and give them the confidence they need is for the banking industry, the…

The idea that this should be accepted as a status quo is totally unacceptable to me.
It is frankly, to me, an embarrassment that we, the oldest functioning democracy in the world, cannot make these simple fixes.
Voting is the ultimate, most foundational civil right in our free society, and we should treat it accordingly.
I do not agree with my dear friend Senator Roberts that we do not need any federal legislation.
we think competitive grant program, or some of the ideas that Senator Boxer had, but you guys are the experts.
You should not have to be a marathon runner. That is not what our founders envisioned.
