Mike Capuano

I for one do not care how much anyone in this country makes. The 'how much' is not my concern. The 'how' is a concern.

Let me encourage you to work as cooperatively and forcefully as you can with both of them because both of them, in my opinion, are participating in what I consider to be the slow and steady destruction of various neighborhoods around this…

It strikes me as though you are not doing much.

I am thrilled with the fact that there appears to be the possibility of some bipartisan, maybe even consensus, that this could be part of the solution to strengthening capital requirements beyond what is already in Dodd-Frank.

If we don't analyze exactly why the problem came up, we are not going to get the right answer.

I would love some of my colleagues on the other side to join me in reinstituting Glass-Steagall.

I have a proposal, H.R. 888, that not a single Republican will join, yet it is supported by the community bankers.

I think that any reasonable person here understands the deadline is not going to be met.

If it has paid for itself on your line, do you think it is a reasonable thing to say that it would pay for itself on any other line in avoided accidents?

We are here now. We are in June of 2015. How do we get this moving forward to keep people safe?

Thank you, Chairman Denham, and thank you for, remarkably gracious Ranking Member Capuano, for waiting so long.

We need to come up with a reasonable timeframe.

I respect that. But the bottom line is I don't know any other way to enforce it amongst bad actors.

If you are a week or two or a month late with a report, does anybody die?

Tell me how we get to where we want to implement as quickly as we can because that is what America wants, that is what I want.

Honestly, this is long overdue, in my estimation.

When you refuse to meet with the people that I represent, then I get mad.

I figured since you're not doing that job, I'll take that money and put it somewhere else where somebody will actually use it.

FAA is probably the most unresponsive agency that we deal with in government from this committee.

It strikes me that FIO and possibly FSOC is pursuing a backdoor way to take over regulation of U.S. insurance companies via international agreement.

Number one, they deserve their money back now that they are stable. Number two, homeowners deserve lower interest rates unless they are being told what the money is used for.

My problem is they paid it back, they are stable, they are heading in the right direction, and it is time to get back to more business as usual.

I supported all that. I am not--I totally agree with everything that was done up until they paid back their loans.

The answer is 'yes.'

Mr. Secretary, for everybody's sake, in your next FSOC report, can you put a chapter in there on debt?
