Daniel Akaka: “I want to thank the first panel for your testimony and your responses.”

When Americans make wise economic decisions and are protected from bad actors, our economy and Nation are stronger for it.

Thank you, Chairman Brown. Thank you very much for holding this hearing today and for all of your work on consumer protection issues.

I am proud of the work we have accomplished on this Committee through both legislation, such as the Dodd-Frank and the Credit CARD Acts.

Well, thank you very much for that.
