Darrell Issa
The Public Record
Darrell Edward Issa is an American politician and businessman currently serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 48th congressional district, a position he has held since January 3, 2021. He is a member of the Republican Party and previously served in Congress from 2001 to 2019, representing California's 49th congressional district. Throughout his political career, Issa has been known for his focus on free enterprise and has been involved in various legislative efforts related to business and economic issues.
The House just recently released a five- separate committee report requested by the Speaker of the House on the aftermath of Benghazi. It tells the American people a story that needs to be told and has not yet been completed. The story is…
I am sad that the ranking member wanted to make it about politics or guns or internet statements.
I am shocked that we would go to other sources to find out we have been lied to.
This committee looks at waste, fraud, and abuse, and we have been stymied by this Administration's stonewalling.
I appreciate that. One of the impressions I got through this hearing was that the President was not well served in the implementation.
We don't blame anybody for trying to get a loan. Programs are there; Congress votes on them.
This Administration has consistently, over a period of at least the years in which the Republicans have been a majority, decided that they will decide what we need and then not give us what we ask for.
We wanted to incentivize banks to make loans to small businesses as across the Country in order to spur growth.
Participating banks have increased their loans to small businesses by more than $280 million.
I am going to open up by telling you you know that your place in history as a body designer is secure.
I would strongly suggest you go back, look at the record of previous hearings, and begin complying through the most expeditious means.
If I were a southerner and had been around animals long enough, I could say 'bull' in a better way. But it is bull.
Finally, and unfortunately, the most significant challenge facing the Postal Service today remains what it has been for the last two years: Congress's failure to act.
Our duty on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee is to protect these rights.
The Postal Service is a valued organization, constitutionally mandated, that we need to fix.
The Postmaster reported in the neighborhood of $16 billion in losses last year.
No matter what my position might be on five or six day, I can tell you that the postmaster would catch hell if he went against what the Congress voted for.
Cybersecurity threats represent one of the most serious national security and economic challenges we face in our Nation. Whether it's criminal hackers, organized crime, terrorist networks, or nation- states, our Nation is under siege from…
The post office, although required to be solvent, required to be self-funding, is in fact neither self-funding nor solvent.
My concern as a government watchdog and as a taxpayer is that, without reform, the American people are going to be left footing the bill for a taxpayer bailout.
As I have said repeatedly, Congress needs to pass comprehensive reform legislation that addresses not only delivery standards, but the full range of reforms needed to re-engineer the Postal Service for the next century.
