It appears to me that no one has learned a thing; that Wall Street is still operating as if 2008 never happened.

You know what the economics are like in Red Lake County. There's no way a family can pay $15,000, $20,000 a year for health insurance and make it work. You just can't do it. It's got to change.

I fought NAFTA when it passed; it has been a big disaster for us, in my opinion. If we can renegotiate that, it would be wonderful.

I've tried to maintain my independence in Congress. Sometimes that has meant opposing my own party leaders.

The [Democratic] party's become an urban party, and they don't get rural America. They don't get agriculture.

A lot of it is backlash against all this political correctness that's going on.

When it [NAFTA] was sold, we were supposed to get two or three times more exports to Canada or Mexico than they exported to us. It's been the exact opposite.
