I want to see the economy rebound.

I find it very difficult to see a scenario where financial regulation doesn't pass the Senate.

My dad just imprinted in my mind from a very young age that you always do what you say you're gonna do when you say you're gonna do it.

If it took multiple debt ceiling hikes, I'd rather achieve the savings.

The debt ceiling at some point has to be raised. I don't think there's anybody that questions the fact that if we ended up getting in a situation where the U.S. government was sending out IOUs like the state of California did at one point, that ends up creating quite a brand problem for our country.

I think today we've got the most complex issues facing America that we have dealt with in decades.
