We are dealing with the soul of the CFPB, and it is soulless.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters has fought hard for OMWI and has taken Democrats and Republicans to task about not having protections in place for minorities and women.

With 190 Democrats on record in support of a multiyear extension of the Bank's charter, and 59 Republicans on a separate reauthorization measure, including 5 on this very committee, the facts are unequivocal: A majority of the Members of…

It is the eleventh hour for the Export-Import Bank, only 14 legislative days remain until this engine of economic growth shuts down.

On this business about the private sector, who is stopping the private sector from investing or supporting exports?

I am dumbfounded as I watch what we do in this committee. And I don't understand why particularly those representatives who have rural areas in their district don't understand how they can do more to help their rural communities.

I don't think that should even be considered. As we look at the needs of rural housing, I think we should be talking about how do we not complicate their problems by consolidating in HUD with anything else.

I think it is important that we remind everybody that we are approaching that date.

And I must say something about SpaceX. It happens to be in my district.

the Bank is a scandal-plagued institution, and have used this excuse to call for the expiration of the Bank's charter in June.

I want you to keep going out into America and seeing what these companies are all about.

Mr. Hochberg, you need to know, and I think you do know that I have held several meetings in my district with small businesses who are directly benefiting from Ex-Im.

Even though we have debunked that argument over and over again, I would like to get a better sense of how the Bank indirectly supports small businesses through the supply chains of the larger companies that you support.

This is serious. And I can assure you that as eager and driven as some Republicans are to let the clock run out on the Export-Import Bank, there are others who are even more hopeful that they will succeed.

Dear Congressman Waters, Hanson Engineering Company is one of the many small businesses in the south Bay area of Los Angeles, California, that is dependent on Boeing contracts to support our business.

I am very, very suspicious that this is an effort to privatize public housing.

I am focused basically on how we can create more affordable housing for the many citizens of this country who cannot find places to rent.

this business of talking about this very important institution to be closed down for all of these phony reasons really is something that I cannot take seriously and the American public cannot take seriously.

There are a lot of people who are watching what is happening in the industry, and we find that we are afraid that what happened in the housing market with subprime lending is now what is happening with automobile lending.

We have to change this. We have to do something about it.

I feel like the greatest country in the world is being not only pushed around, but taken advantage of.

We have constituents who, no fault of their own, don't earn very much money, don't have money for food or for their bills prior to their next payday, and they go to a payday lender and then they get hooked.

I am convinced of the high performance, the excellent default rate, the support for both large and small businesses.

I have tremendous support from the California Chamber of Commerce.

I don't like payday loans.
