I think America needs to be highly concerned about the perception of the Syrians.

I think what is interesting about this whole process is what Senator McCain just pointed out, that JPMorgan appears to have developed its business model around the fact that they are too big to fail.

I have always said that the fact that we have institutions that simply are too big to fail shows how regulation already failed us.

I think the goal of Congress should be to get the American taxpayer off the hook for what happens at the banks.

I think the fact that we are even having this hearing would be evidence that we have not ended too big to fail.

I think the work that is going on should end up in that place, and I think it is to the benefit of JPMorgan and the system generally if we do end up in that place.

Do you believe that the Dodd-Frank Act either ended too big to fail or has any chance of ending too big to fail?

Thank you, Representative Ellison. When you talked about the 2 million jobs that we'll lose in 2014 alone and the loss of the gross domestic product, there is no question that these are the challenges we're facing with the budget before…

Absolutely, Representative Ellison. We are very proud to be not only the creator of collective bargaining, but I believe also unemployment compensation and other great provisions for workers across America.

I would like to thank the gentleman from California. As a member of the Budget Committee that marked up the bill yesterday, we had spent the entire day considering the budget proposal that was introduced by our Republican colleagues. From…

These concerns have been echoed by regulatory officials and policymakers globally, including by representatives of the European Parliament.

So when there is a conflict between what the directive of Congress was and then its interpretation by the Fed, FSOC will go forward with the interpretation of the Fed, as opposed to what Congress has specifically delineated in Dodd-Frank.

My concern is that the Fed's definition of 'predominantly engaged in financial activity' is going to cast potentially a far wider net.

Congress was very focused and very concerned about an expansion of this law to encompass companies that have nothing to do with the financial sector.
