Please do not weaken the financial regulations that were meant to prevent a repeat of the financial collapse that led to the Great Recession. It will only hurt the middle class.

This bill needs to stay in effect. The regulations are needed now more than ever as you cannot depend on the big banks to just be honest.

I understand that the Indian Health Service made a mistake in overestimating the amount required in Fiscal Year 2017 to fully fund contract support cost payments due tribes under self determination contracts and self governance compacts.

I understand the Federal Government moves slowly but this is way too slow.

I remain concerned that we have not yet gotten to the core of the problem driving servicer misconduct.

Do you agree that we still need to address the way servicers are paid so that they do not profit more from foreclosures than from keeping families in their homes?

I think we need to address that compensation structure for servicers, and I am hoping you are committed to helping us do that.

We have consistently underestimated the power of these tools, leveraged properly and appropriately with diplomacy and strategy.
