Rosa DeLauro

I am really concerned about the ways in which you propose to modify FDA's oversight in the name of efficiency and not public health, in my view.

Why shouldn't we continue to stay the course, focus our energies on what has been successful.

Dodd-Frank, which I was proud to support, has put us on the path to reducing that threat of the too-big-to-fail firms.

I am very, very troubled by how in fact--and as I say, this is both Democrats and Republicans--are unraveling Dodd-Frank.

I am, frankly, troubled by the efforts that are supported by both Democrats and Republicans that would scale back some of the regulations that have been put in place.

I think we all know how catastrophic the impact of years and years of deregulation was.

Who do you believe this serves? Does it serve the borrowers or the servicers?

Who made the decision? Did you make this decision to preempt States' rights?

Why does no one believe what you are doing?

You are preempting States' rights here.

Do you believe that States have a right to guarantee consumer protection for their citizens?

You issued a declaration to preempt State regulations on companies that collect student loans.

These companies have a track record of predatory practices, of abuses.

You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth.

The only valid passport out of poverty is education.

Do you believe that we have a crisis with gun violence in our country? That is a yes-or-no question.

In 2018, there have been 17 school shootings, not including one this morning, I might add, in Maryland, St. Mary's school.

We have a school funding gap in this country, much worse in high-poverty areas.

I have watched you advocate as Secretary for the privatization of public education.

No one is trying to impose a Federal takeover of education.

I am opposed to these short-term efforts.

We are not going to allow them to move forward on these issues which will deny people healthcare coverage.

I think the Administration has said that Idaho, that their plan would be out of compliance with the law.

Do you support the President's proposal to eliminate LIHEAP?

We introduced the bill again this year. It is a $5,000,000,000 fund patterned after what we do in disaster relief.
