Maxine Waters

I would like to explain to those who are wondering why there are three individuals presenting who all seem to be opposed to the reauthorization.

This hearing is not going to be a forthright discussion on the merits of the Bank.

Now, I think this is ridiculous, and I want to get off of that...

Some have criticized the FSOC's designation process as being opaque.

The economic collapse of 2008 resulted in the greatest loss of wealth in a generation.

These partisan bills were nothing more than an effort to derail this cornerstone of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act.

It saddens me that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have aligned themselves with Wall Street predatory lenders and other bad actors in our financial system.

I am disappointed that a package to destabilize CFPB's leadership and its autonomy and tie its funding to the whims of the congressional appropriations process made its way through the House of Representatives.

Consumers deserve accountability not only from Wall Street, but they deserve it from Washington, too.

These disturbing developments once again demonstrate, I believe conclusively, why there must be substantial structural reform at the CFPB.

I have no doubt that all agree, including the Director, that invidious discrimination and retaliation are not only illegal; they are also morally repugnant.

The Mint is actively engaged in regular outreach efforts and public awareness events for both programs that include Members of Congress, including John Lewis and full Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Maxine Waters.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following new section: Sec. 4__. None of the funds made…

I certainly hope you will join us in using the full weight of this committee to take a close look at the findings of, and any recommendations from, the Inspectors General.

I remain disappointed that pay disparities among a wide range of classifications occurred at the Bureau as was outlined in a report that the CFPB released on Monday.

I have co-sponsored that with Gary Peters. This would help to create opportunities for small businesses by granting them access to capital they need to grow their businesses.

I have no further requests for time. I would like to thank all of those who have worked on this legislation. This is a fine example of how you take a rather difficult and complicated problem and work through ways by which you can ensure…

I would simply like to ask all of my colleagues to support this important legislation, and I would like to commend Mr. Hinojosa and Mr. Barr, and I would also like to commend Mrs. Capito and all who have worked so well together to ensure…

I simply ask for support for this important legislation, and I commend both Mr. Stivers and Mrs. Beatty for the wonderful job that they did in providing the kind of leadership that brought both sides of the aisle together. I would simply…

How quickly my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have forgotten the loss of millions of American jobs and trillions of dollars of household wealth caused by inadequate regulation.

This hearing, in my estimation, is nothing more than the latest chance for the Majority to air its ideologically-driven deregulatory agenda.

The Democrats did not ask for a cancellation of the hearing.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

I am very appreciative, and I thank you so very much for focusing on racism, discrimination, disparate impact, and intentional discrimination.
