Elizabeth Warren

I do not want to argue with you about what capital--

And we now know, from the Fed's own research, that when the economy hit choppy waters last year, those banks needed stimulus from the taxpayers.

We can't play politics with the full faith and credit of the United States.

When the tests were first set up, bank supervisors could restrict stock buybacks and dividend payments to strengthen the bank's balance sheet.

I will oppose your renomination.

Let me ask you the question then. I take it you do not have any regrets about any changes to the stress test?
