- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People ask, 'How do you work with the other side?' Well, I start by not saying bad things about them.
- Poor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Washington is paralyzed by extreme political rhetoric that creates powerful sound bites but poor policy.
- Ground
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The big legislative updates that we need to compete in the 21st century and to raise living standards have been blocked by a reluctance to seek common ground.
- Last
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With Washington already broken, the last thing we need is a left-wing version of the Tea Party.
- Grounding
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have to start grounding our policies in facts and recognize that a strong economy is critical for funding progressive priorities.
- Government Programs
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Imagine a country where the vast majority of seniors live in poverty, a country where for many there are no golden years, but a time of struggle and dependence. That was the United States before the creation of Social Security, which has proven to be one of the most effective and important government programs in our history.
- Nov 07, 2020
In 1935, the year Social Security was created, the poverty rate for seniors was over 70%.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am dedicated to making sure Social Security will be there for future generations and have written legislation to strengthen the program.
- Need
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Social Security is not broke, and Social Security does not need to be privatized.
- Hospital
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No military or veteran family should have to choose between paying their bills and being together while one of our nation's heroes is in the hospital.
- Hospital
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many of the patients in military and veterans hospitals require long stays, which can place a large financial hardship on families who don't live near the hospital, which is very common.
- Estate Tax
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Repealing the estate tax won't create jobs, it won't boost GDP, and it won't add efficiency to the market. Instead, repealing the estate tax will simply add to the debt, hurt our ability to build a stronger economy and worsen economic inequality.
- Days
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We already spend too few days in Congress working on meaningful legislation; we simply can't afford to waste more time on legislation that doesn't move the needle to improve the lives of everyday Americans.
- Big Problems
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Whether you're a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, it is clear that we've got big problems that we need to address, starting with making our economy more competitive so that we can create more good-paying jobs for the middle class.
- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Instead of serving special interests, Congress should focus on the big picture. Globalization and technology have completely reshaped our economy in recent decades, and if we don't respond, we're putting the future of the middle class at risk.
- Deserve
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When active duty ends, we have an obligation to uphold our own pledge: a pledge to ensure that every veteran receives the care and benefits they deserve.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
During their service, men and women in our Armed Forces live by a common creed, promising never to leave a soldier behind. We should live by the same principle. When our veterans are asked to travel hundreds of miles for care that's offered right next door, we simply aren't living up to that standard, and something has to change.
- Depression
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The struggle these veterans face receiving adequate care for PTSD and depression is a tragedy that needs to be addressed, which is why I cosponsored the Clay Hunt SAV Act.
- Making
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a cosigner of the Veterans' Bill of Rights, I'm committed to making sure that veterans' issues remain a top priority in Congress.
- Health
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
America's men and women in uniform bravely defend our nation and our values. Their skill, dedication, and valor are the envy of the world. When their time in uniform is over, they are entitled to world-class health care, a benefit they've earned and that their country is grateful to provide for them.
- Enlisted
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Clay Hunt was the kind of individual that has made America a great country. In 2005, when his country needed him, he enlisted in the Marine Corps. Shot in Iraq, he earned a Purple Heart, and after he recuperated, he graduated from Marine Corps Scout Sniper School and was deployed to Afghanistan.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Veterans come from all walks of life, and they live in small towns and big cities, in red states and blue states.
- Care
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No veteran or active duty service member should endure a long hospital stay alone. Yet sadly, due to the high cost of travel, all too often our military families are separated while America's heroes receive care. Sometimes families sleep in hospital parking lots, unable to afford long stays in a hotel.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A family's love is often the best medicine, and in difficult times, I believe that our military families deserve the option of staying together.
- Hospital
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Free lodging for military families with loved ones in the hospital is something all Americans can rally behind.
- Easy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In my private sector career, two of my favorite sayings were, 'Strategy is easy and execution is really hard,' and that we should 'run at criticism.'
- Dozens
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As an entrepreneur and public company CEO, I've dealt with dozens of rollouts, and when unveiling a new product, the operating approach should be, 'Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.'
- Confronting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The administration must act promptly to ensure that the central premise of the Affordable Care Act is executable and, rather than dismissing criticism, should examine it in good faith and work to serve the needs of the people. President Obama must approach this problem like a CEO confronting a very bad product launch.
- Care
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am of the view that the Affordable Care Act will be a transformative piece of legislation that can lower the cost of health care in the United States - perhaps our greatest fiscal obstacle - and help all Americans lead healthy and productive lives, free from worry that a single illness could mean ruin for an entire family.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not advocating spending less on the elderly, but I am strongly advocating spending more on kids while also putting the country on a sound, long-term fiscal trajectory. To do that, we have to reduce the rate of growth of entitlement-related expenditures and add more revenues.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Two decades of experience as an entrepreneur and CEO has informed my view that our priorities must stress improving educational outcomes, rebuilding America's infrastructure, lowering health care costs, addressing climate change, reforming immigration, and ushering in an advanced energy economy.
- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm immensely proud to be a Democrat because of our party's history of fighting for justice, fairness, and equality. From Roosevelt to Obama, we've worked to bring seniors and children out of poverty, expanded civil rights, supported science and research, and pushed for equality of opportunity.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All taxpayers feel a tremendous sense of frustration as they see many tens of billions of dollars of bonuses paid to the same mega banks that were on the brink of bankruptcy and were only saved by massive government rescue money and support. We are not satisfied by the fact that many of them have paid the money back, nor should we be.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I strongly believe in a free market, and it is great when companies make money and pay their people well.
- Breach
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Do I think it is good policy for the government to own companies? Normally, I'd say 'no.' But in my world, if a firm puts itself in a position that it needs a last minute rescue, and the future is uncertain at best, then the investor who steps into that breach ends up owning the company. Full stop.

- Nov 07, 2020
Small businesses are more nimble and innovative than large corporations, and as a result are much more likely to develop the breakthrough ideas we need for global competitiveness.
- Our
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our employment future rests on the shoulders of the small employer, and we should be investing with them.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have been dealt a very weak hand by the financial market meltdown, bailouts, and recession. We can't act like it's a strong one.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Climate change is the environmental challenge of this generation, and it is imperative that we act before it's too late.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
While some politicians argue over whether to believe scientists' almost overwhelming consensus on climate change, the business sector is a believer and is wisely planning ahead.
- Climate Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Addressing climate change and positioning the United States as the leader in advanced energy should be a top priority for our country and our economy, and I applaud the Obama administration for the steps it is taking.
- Energy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many have criticized a federal carbon tax, saying that it would increase energy costs. Some continue to oppose it even when that revenue would be used to reduce other taxes in what's known as a tax swap.
- Nation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We can't let 535 people continue to limit the progress of a nation of more than 300 million.
- Electoral Process
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our electoral process has created perverse incentives that have warped our democracy and empowered special interests and a vocal minority.
- Many
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Congressional dysfunction is the logical result of closed primaries, too many gerrymandered one-party seats, and low-turnout elections.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We started CapitalSource because large banks were ignoring small to mid-sized businesses, and we saw a big business opportunity as a result.
- Financial
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
By any measure, CapitalSource outperformed both our direct competitors and the financial services industry in general, particularly in the context of the near collapse of the financial services industry where 19 of the 20 largest financial institutions in the country either failed or were bailed out by the government.
- Assumed
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Using static scoring, tax cuts are broadly assumed to 'cost' a raw amount of reduced revenue. With dynamic scoring, the new revenue likely to flow from increased economic activity produced by a tax cut is considered, improving the accuracy of the projection.
- Opportunity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If done correctly, dynamic scoring will provide a more complete picture of Congress's actions. This is exactly the type of modeling the private sector uses, and advances in data collection and analysis create an opportunity for it to be employed accurately.
- Health
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Federal research dollars invested at the National Institutes of Health seem expensive until we factor in the economic growth and jobs created by our world-leading life sciences industry.
- Foolish
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
New highways, ports, and runways appear economically foolish if we don't understand the economic growth that flows from such investments.
