If it did, would you have concerns?

Large banks have been fined a combined $160 billion since the crisis, yet recidivism continues and regulators have been very reluctant to impose harsher penalties.

I have not heard a lot of that discussion--is what you are going to do to address specifically those consumer protection issues.

Very disappointed. I support an ethics investigation. This kind of conduct should not be tolerated by anyone or any public official.

Thank you. Thank you, all. We appreciate you being here.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

And Senator, if I can add, in Hurricane Katrina the Congress provided these waivers on the match and the additional support on the Medicaid and Medicare side.

What we're asking right now, that money ends. So, aside from having the limitations and the catastrophe of the storm, we're now heading on a Medicaid cliff as well that's dropping us off from an effective $1.6 billion to $350 million.

It is really just a bad idea to rebuild a system that is frail, over again.

It is not for new construction or new types of renewable energy or burying lines.

Now my understanding of that then is that all of the talk that I have heard today, which is important talk about new infrastructure, burying lines, looking at how we add renewable capacity, that is something that is not going to be…

I, too, have constituents in Nevada who have loved ones in Puerto Rico and are just as concerned, not only about Puerto Rico, but the Virgin Islands.

It makes it very specific and gives you the tools you need to continue to help support and protect those artifacts.

Is the role to help stop the illegal export of culturally important artifacts?

What role does the department have to protect the rights of tribes to stop the illegal export of culturally important artifacts?

This legislation is very specific about elevating these artifacts. It is consistent and not redundant with the law.

I think the STOP Act remains consistent with Federal statutes. In fact, it goes further to explicitly state a prohibition of knowingly exporting or transporting protected tribal cultural artifacts.

We have a responsibility to ensure that the voices of Indian Country are heard.

We've got to figure this out for the benefit of those people that we're taking their data.

But to our kids, it's not too late.

You have an obligation not only to look at the data that you're collecting, but make sure you're protecting it.

What is so egregious about what you have done is now for the rest of their lives, the woman in Carlin and all of the people that I hear from Nevada, of the 1.3 million people whose identities were stolen, they are going to have to clear…

Identity theft in the State of Nevada and across this country is through the roof, and every day we dealt with somebody whose identity was stolen.

The consumer doesn't have a choice, sir. The consumer does not have a choice on the data that you're collecting.
