I am concerned as well that in this balance between wrongdoing by some lenders and consumers, that the agency may be erring too much on the side of these lenders that may be engaging in predatory practices.

So no hard time commitment on when we will get the 5-month-overdue report?

When do you think we will be able to get that report?

So, has it been filed in the 5 months since?

Many of my colleagues here today have rightfully highlighted the extent of the student loan crisis.

Is there a place that they can go to? What documents could they examine?

I think it's important to acknowledge here that people are suffering.

And is it true that this report also found a suggestive link between PFAS chemicals and liver damage?

Mr. Ross, isn't it also true that this report acknowledges that there is a suggestive link between PFAS chemicals and, I quote, increased risk of decreased fertility?

And is it true that this agency report acknowledges that epidemiological studies have provided evidence that there is a link between PFAS chemicals and thyroid disease?

I--like many of my colleagues here are very concerned about the use of PFAS chemicals which, as you stated, are in everything from firefighting foams to commercial household products like nonstick pans and water-repellant clothing.

But rather than trying to slow down climate or mitigating its impact, it seems as though the administration right now is ignoring its own scientists, national security professionals, and economists who warn that the continued increased…

Global, environmental, and ecological degradation, as well as climate change, are likely to fuel competition for resources, economic distress and social discontent through 2019, this year, and beyond.

Do you agree that the United States could face huge costs as a result if we fail to act right now?

Volume 1 of the assessment confirmed that climate change is real, it is happening now, and that humans are the cause.

Over the last two years, the Trump administration released the fourth National Climate Assessment, which is the Federal Government's definitive statement on climate science.

And would it help for the committee to obtain Federal and State tax returns from the President and his company to address that discrepancy?

To your knowledge, was the President interested in reducing his local real estate bills, tax bills?

Taxpayers built this New York golf course and Trump reaps the rewards.

Did the President ever provide inflated assets to an insurance company?

Does that treasure trove of documents still exist?

Do you think we need to review his financial statements and his tax returns in order to compare them?

And especially when they are--when consumers don't even get to opt in, or choose, or offer consent as to what data is being collected, we have an oligopoly of three major corporations that are trying to collect as much data as possible…

So they aren't as incentivized to actually come up with the most accurate 90-day predictor possible. They are incentivized to sell data.

If parachutes had a one in five error rating, I don't think a lot of people would go skydiving.
