“They have gotten chosen without any checks or balances, without ever coming before the Senate, without anything else, and they have huge power. People's privacy is at risk. But, also, we don't even know if they have made protections, so that China or Russia or some other country could look at all this information and use it, and then the next step could well be even worse. They could just decide ``I will cut this. I will cut that. I will cut this. We are finding something wrong with it'' and come right in. I mean, this is just outrageous.

It could have huge consequences and hurt average working people. This isn't something just, you know, up in government, two parties fighting; this could hurt average American families who get Social Security, who get Medicaid, who are veterans. In issue after issue after issue where the Federal Government is involved, you could find just decimation.”
