June 19, 2007“Strengthening America’s energy security by reducing our dependence on foreign oil and addressing the threat of global climate change will require transforming our transportation sector. Promoting a new generation of fuel-efficient vehicles is critical to this effort.

That is why I am pleased that the Finance Committee acted today to support additional tax credits for fuel-efficient alternative motor vehicles and plug-in hybrids. I commend Chairman Baucus and the other members of the Committee for recognizing the importance of encouraging manufacturers to continue investing in innovative technologies, and for enabling Americans to make cleaner, greener choices that advance our nation’s economic, energy, and environmental interests. I am hopeful these important alternative vehicle tax incentives will be retained throughout the legislative process, and ultimately enacted into law. I will continue to press to ensure that result.”

here: Hi, this is Senator Chris Dodd again, and I want to welcome you to my Podcast. It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to talk you with you and we’ve been busy here, obviously, with some issues that have been terribly important, and some that have been hardly important at all, but more the subject of Senate debate to score political points, rather than actually do anything for the country.
June 7, 2006 If I may, I wish to turn to the matter at hand; that is, the debate regarding the estate tax.

“I support tax cuts for all Americans. But this bill would irresponsibly and recklessly dig us $70 billion farther into debt while shelling out the lion’s share of benefits to those who need it least. Our nation has great promise but unless we get our fiscal house in order and live within our means we are living on borrowed time and that is wrong.
