I hardly think 30 seconds is sufficient.

The Bureau's accomplishments under your leadership have helped more Americans participate in a financial system that is fair and strong.

The Bureau has fined banks and captive lenders such as Toyota, Honda, and Fifth Third Bank, for discriminatory practices.

We must stop this debt trap, and we must fight any efforts to weaken, roll back, or stop the CFPB's upcoming rule.

Effective international efforts will require strong U.S. leadership over the long term.

Active U.S. global engagement is critical to our own national security and economic interests.

Throughout your testimony, you have spoken of the importance of expanding the Medicaid program to improve health outcomes.

I think this absolutely needed to be done, and I am very appreciative that you are doing this.

I have been active in opposing this dramatic consolidation of HUD's multi-family field offices throughout the country.

My message is, drop the interest rates. Look at 36 percent or so.

But we are not going to stand by and allow yet another what I consider unfair ripoff to people who can least afford it.

If you are willing to write letters to protect veterans from predatory lending practices, you ought to do that for everybody.

It is politically powerful and safe to talk about protecting our military, because these are people who put their lives on the line for us.

There is a problem that has been identified dealing with payday loans.

I believe our job and the job of the CFPB is to ensure access to safe, affordable credit to everyone.

Consumer credit products shouldn't be available if they hurt their customers.

I want you to know that not only am I concerned, it looks like we are about to have some bipartisan concern on this issue.

But I would really like to thank Chair Yellen for being here with us today to discuss the state of the economy and your role in ensuring that a full recovery is achieved for all.

Do you believe action should be taken to require the disclosure of beneficial ownership information upon incorporation?

I commend the good work of the task force, work that they have done during the past year under the leadership of Ranking Member Lynch, Chairman Fitzpatrick, and Vice Chairman Pittenger.

I want you to know that I am very interested in whether or not we can have a private/public operation that will do the best job for our constituents.

Let me apologize to everybody for Biggert-Waters. I am the 'Waters' of Biggert-Waters.

I really do commend them for the attempts that they have made to try and have this a bipartisan issue.

Our goal was to create a bipartisan solution to repair our ailing Flood Insurance Program.

I believe that it is absolutely critical that we start thinking about the program and how we can improve it for the long term.
