Everything I know that I want to make better about myself and my family... costs money.

How are we going to get to an end? How are we ever going to get any of these things addressed if we simply sit here and say, oh, we hate this, we love that, here are my speaking points for my campaign.

I guess I don't really have any questions because the truth is I already know some of the things that need to be done.

Dodd-Frank has done a very good job at containing the crisis that we had, putting us back on the footing.

We are making money, we are actually costing homeowners more than they should be charged so that we can use it as a piggy bank, yet we can't have an honest discussion on how to fix it.

We want to talk about how bad Dodd-Frank is. We don't want to talk about the things we can come to an agreement on to fix some of the things.

This is another one of these show-and-tell hearings with apparently no purpose to it.

I continue waiting for my Republican colleagues to acknowledge, as Mr. Greenspan has, that they have found a flaw in free market ideology.

This is another example of this Administration's intent to pick winners and losers in our economy, and I can no longer support the authorization of the Ex-Im Bank.

The Ex-Im Bank's guidance is bad for our Nation's economy, bad for the development of future technologies, and bad for the environment.

When the Ex-Im Bank goes away, government will still be picking winners and losers.
