"We need to continue investing in the programs that put Americans back to work in communities like Clark County."

"Everybody says they want to have private providers and we're saying fine. Let the states negotiate on behalf of a population in your state to drive down your costs. Don't just give subsidies to insurance companies for expensive insurance."

"Taxpayers have put more than $24 trillion on the line to resuscitate Wall Street after the economic meltdown of last year. With the help of this massive taxpayer support, the nation's largest banks are posting record profits."

"The Export-Import Bank is one of the most important tools America has to create jobs."
