I would simply like to say that I think that the processes that we are examining have unintended consequences that we think we can straighten out. I thank Congresswoman DeLauro for her support in taking a look at this issue. We will be…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 81, line 9, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $1,000,000)''. Page 81, line 9, after the…

This is a consumer bill. My friends on the opposite side of the aisle who would try to kill this bill evidently do not understand that the day is over when predatory lending will go forth in this body. Mr. Chair, I yield 2 minutes to the…

It is absolutely unbelievable that the Republicans on the opposite side of the aisle now talk about wanting to work with us after they have done everything possible to undermine the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We move ahead with…

In the last decade, Wells Fargo alone paid more than $11 billion in fines, but has raked in over $197 billion in profits.
