Mark Warner

A core objective of the Bank is to support American jobs.

Thank you for calling this hearing.

I know at least for this Senator--really respect your service and hope we get a chance to work again in the future.

I think if we think back to that problem in the crisis when there was not any resolution plan or road map.

We will start seeing the types of volatility that you are seeing with other countries that are viewed by the market as weak.

It is going to have to be some combination of entitlement reform and revenue increases.

We still have time to do this, but will we? That is really the question.

To play around with even talking about a default, even a so-called technical default on U.S. debt, I think, is highly problematic.

I am passionate about deficit reduction.

I always like to continue to point out that while there were a number of challenges around perhaps Dodd-Frank, Title I and Title II, I think, with the support of the Chairman and Ranking Member, got 95 votes.

I think we are approaching the most predictable financial crisis in our lifetimes.

I personally believe the single biggest job creation entity... would be putting a long-term debt and deficit plan in place.

We've got to push this trade agenda; 95 percent of all the customers are abroad.

The Honoring All Veterans Act builds on the work already initiated by this Committee to address this issue.

I am honored to appear before my colleagues who lead the Senate in making sure our Nation keeps faith with the men and women who serve and sacrifice for our freedom.

The legislation also strengthens the Department of Labor's existing programs to assist both veterans with TBI or PTSD in the workplace and their employers.

We need to provide treatment, not just diagnosis.

I have introduced a bill, S. 1060, called the Honoring All Veterans Act, and S. 1147, the Chiropractic Care Available for All Veterans Act.

The Honoring All Veterans Act would build on the work already initiated by this Committee to address the issues.

We really need to have a comprehensive approach to deal with the signature wounds of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts.

I know Chairman Murray and Ranking Member Burr care as deeply about our Veterans and their families as I do.

This legislation will end the improper and unofficial system of 'reserved' gravesites for VIPs at Arlington National Cemetery.

I will not shy away from providing those who have served and sacrificed for our Nation with the benefits and services they need--more importantly, that they were promised.

The Honoring All Veterans Act requires the Department of Defense to identify and then close the gap between screening and treatment.

We can do better, and we must do more.
