Steve Mnuchin

“I've been focused on the West Coast economy and being a banker and lending in these markets.”

“We need a president that's going to be focused on growth.”

“Since I was first nominated to serve as Treasury Secretary, I have been maligned as taking advantage of others' hardships in order to earn a buck. Nothing could be further from the truth.”

“I earnestly feel terrible for any mistakes at the bank.”

“A stronger dollar increases U.S. dollar purchasing power.”

“The strength of the dollar has historically been tied to the strength of the U.S. economy and the faith that investors have in doing business in America.”

“I will use my expertise in technology to bring the IRS up to date.”

“I will maintain the position that, long-term, a strong and dependable dollar is in the best interests of the United States while recognizing that, at times over the long-term, that may not be the case.”

“We've been in the business of regional banking, and we understand what it is to make loans, and that's the engine of growth to small and medium sized business.”

“I don't support going back to Glass-Steagall as is.”

“We gotta get Fannie and Freddie out of government ownership. It makes no sense that these are owned by the government and have been controlled by the government for as long as they have.”

“I wouldn't in any way say I distanced myself from Wall Street.”

“The number one priority is going to be make sure that banks lend.”

“Our most important priority is sustained economic growth, and I think we can absolutely get to sustained 3% to 4% GDP, and that is absolutely critical for the country.”

“To the extent the dollar gains strength relative to other currencies, assets priced in those other currencies would become cheaper on a dollar basis.”

“I have given to Democrats in the past. I've always believed in supporting the best candidate at the time.”

“I've had several different careers.”

“We're really going to be focused on economic growth and creating jobs, and that's really going to be a priority.”

“I firmly believe that the U.S. has to honor its debt.”

“In the press, it has been said that I ran a foreclosure machine.”
