Bill Huizenga

Do you have discretion as to whether to sell short-term versus long-term?

I look forward to continuing to explore how the Fed and FOMC will be properly tailoring the Volcker rule.

I have real concerns about the Volcker rule situation.

I hope these same colleagues will have that same enthusiasm to tackle the entitlement situation that we have here.

I appreciate that. I, like some of my colleagues, I know Mr. Barr and others have expressed desire to push for better, fairer trade deals.

The five agencies responsible for regulation of the Volcker Rule coming together on this notice is an important first step.

I am sure Secretary Mnuchin, yes, you are encouraged as well as I am by my colleagues' newfound concern with our debt situation.

China has a very large chunk of our debt. It's somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.2 trillion.

I would love to hear. I will write you about harmonization of data for Fannie, and Freddie and FHA.

I can't emphasize enough how strongly we need to do this.

This is all about making sure that we have an active economy.

Now we are talking about a bakery. We went from crumb to loaf to now we got a bakery going here.

That crumb just got bigger.

This is the equivalent of calling these crumbs, and that doesn't matter to people, and that somehow or another this is not going to move the needle at all.

I am just stunned by some of the conversations that are happening here about these bonuses.

Chairman Huizenga. Thank you for that.

I think this really gets to what both the Chairman and a number of us have said is, if you have a financial institution that is not in trouble, that hasn't tripped any of these legal wires. Really, what is the legal standing for the…

Despite the hyperbole you are hearing from the ranking member, nothing in this bill grants the Federal Reserve the ability to repeal the Volcker rule--nothing. Additionally, the other regulators, that alphabet soup of regulators, are still…

I would like to commend the bipartisan work of my colleagues and friends, Representative Ross and Representative Delaney. They have done a great job on this. Their bipartisan approach enhances the ability of FSOC to mitigate risk, a very…

I have to tell you, Director Mulvaney, it is good to have you here. The last director that was here pretty much stalled, obfuscated, ran out the clock, and filibustered his entire time.

The gentleman yields back.

As I wrap up, this is about making sure that we have a solid community banking system. We know that they have been under assault under these Dodd-Frank provisions that have come through, which I don't think were necessarily maliciously put…

I wish I had time to yield to the gentlewoman to hear that answer. She is talking about megabanks. This is, frankly, just a red herring in this whole thing. Congress has the opportunity to help more Americans realize a portion of the…

In the letter, she stated that the bill would ``improve access to credit'' and ``enhance competition among title insurance providers.'' Well, I couldn't agree more with the ranking member. She talks now of kickbacks. I am confused as to…

If the Volcker Rule did not apply to nonfinancial parents of industrial loan companies, do you believe that it would pose a systemic risk to the financial system?
