the scheme that Dodd-Frank puts in place that does not end too-big-to-fail.

I voted to raise the debt ceiling. I think we have to--we have an obligation to pay our obligations.

your Treasury Department has stiff-armed this committee in its oversight capacity by your unsupported refusal to provide complete responses to this committee.

Article I of the U.S. Constitution establishes and makes vital the oversight authority of the Congress vis-a-vis the Executive Branch.

My hope is that as we move forward, we may do some things to improve upon what was done in 1968, but not limit it and not circumvent what we have found to be a means by which we can continue to combat invidious discrimination.

It is disconcerting that unlike other illegal discrimination claims, disparate impact claims do not require the government or a private plaintiff to provide intent to discriminate.

It was abandoned because of greed. It was abandoned because there was a way to make money...

Discrimination based on race, sex, or other prohibitive factors is destructive and morally repugnant.

The protections afforded by the Federal Civil Rights Statutes remain important and necessary.

We would like to have some answers on this, because it appears to us an enormous conflict of interest.

Dodd-Frank also included numerous safeguards to protect consumers' personal privacy and to prevent the misuse of confidential information.

That is just common sense. And I think that this rule is a concrete example of the agency working with consumers and the financial industry to allow responsible access to credit and liquidity to American families.

Representative McHenry asked GAO whether HUD violated anti-lobbying provisions when the Deputy Secretary prepared and transmitted an email on July 31, 2013.

At the heart of this hearing today and this ongoing investigation about the IRS is that we have millions of Americans that live in fear of their government.

Regardless of what administration's in power, there needs to be a check on this.

What we find is that it was the politics that mattered, and that leads us to be more fearful of what the IRS is doing.

It is wholly ridiculous on its face that that is in fact not what a new market would look like without the government intervention.

It is past time to protect taxpayers and homeowners. It is time to pass the PATH Act today.
