Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 13, 2017
With all due respect to my colleague from the financial institution folks, one of the things in the CHOICE Act is the Mick Mulvaney-generated transparency amendments that we are not trying to strike. It is not like we are hiding anything. And I missed the part where it says, oh, the fact that they are not taxpayer funds makes it okay that we go ahead and try to sweep those into that. I also missed the fact, quite frankly, that this is different than something like the Bureau of Consumer Protection folks who were an out- of-control executive branch agency using federally appropriated funds to do as they darn well please. I missed the fact where we have got a problem with credit unions taking care of their own administration and their own insurance. And I, finally, missed the fact where, quite frankly, we have absolutely no problem with respect to these folks' performance record. So when you talk about going out and getting nontaxpayer-generated funds and saying we are going to bring those--by the way, good luck for these folks to get under our budgeting process. I won't say anything more than that, Mr. Chairman. Good luck. Whose budget are they going under? Who are we waiting for approval so we can say keep doing the things the way you were?…
