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

I saved $8,000 and created a construction company when I was 25.

I started working when I was 13, picking up trash, bagging ice.

I think all of us who have been in Afghanistan on the ground multiple times know that what we're doing there on the ground is just not sustainable.

I want to see the economy rebound.

I was embarrassed when I went and told my parents that I was thinking about running for public office.

I'm a lawmaker, but I really don't like laws.

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

In business, you try to solve problems.

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.

Not every problem is solvable, okay.

We need to make sure we have secure borders.

It is not really our country so much is the problem, it's sort of the parasitic relationship that Canada, and France, and other countries have towards us.

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.
