We found widespread failures in financial regulation that proved devastating to the stability of the Nation's financial markets.

It is very important that we hear from our Commissioners what they discovered about our financial crisis.

My colleagues on the opposite side of the aisle are claiming that regulation is a job killer.

Of course, the purpose of trying to rewrite the causes of the crisis I believe could only serve to undermine the Dodd-Frank Act and return the financial services industry to a nostalgic age of unchecked predatory lending, leverage, and risk.

There is a fundamental debate that is going on in the Congress of the United States today.

I find this discussion very engaging, and I am particularly interested, since I spent so much time on the Comcast-NBC merger.

I am very concerned about the representation that Dodd-Frank is going to lead to fewer jobs.

Why should we be so concerned to make sure that you can receive your patents abroad and maybe even infringe on small inventors?

I continue to believe that an unregulated shadow banking system created the crisis and that casino-style betting magnified and lengthened it.

Today's hearing is an opportunity to address one of the most critical questions facing our economy: How do we continue to move forward from the crisis and organize a secondary mortgage market that ensures access to sustainable homeownership at affordable rates for the American middle class?

While the economy has shown some signs of recovery, it is clear that more aggressive action is needed from Congress in order to put our country back on the right track.
