So only six above half a million in 2009, when you were looking at seven companies. And today, when you have three companies, you have 23.

The standard has not changed; the Treasury rules are the same, regardless if it is a new person.

So it is not just your good work at your office, which has been exceptional; it is because that is what the people in charge of our Government told the American taxpayer they were going to do, and it is not being done.

To quote President Barack Obama, if you have a business, you didn't build that; somebody else made that happen.

So, to cut to the chase, the special master allowed pay increases to take place with a company 74 percent owned by the taxpayers on the verge of bankruptcy.

Collins is exactly right. The American taxpayers are like, we were told X and we are getting Y, and we are sick of it.

We do need some controls put in place. The taxpayers are surely getting a bum deal here.

I hope you are getting more than that. Frankly, I hope they are getting more than that when they are making their decision.

And exceeding the 50th percentile.

Ally has continued to fail the Federal Reserve stress test year after year after year.

Such a deal. Such a deal.

There is no concrete plan at all to get Ally out of TARP.

Just weeks before ResCap filed bankruptcy, and it included, and I just want to point this out, a $200,000 pay raise for an employee at ResCap.

Man, we do need some controls put in place. The taxpayers are surely getting a bum deal here.

You want pay for performance.

the Treasury Department continues to abdicate its responsibility to taxpayers, breaking a firm promise our President, President Obama, made to the American people.

Do you think a company 74 percent owned by the taxpayers, subsidiary ResCap with its CEO compensation package of $8 million being proposed, cash assistance over half a million dollars, do you think that should be approved when we are…

Do you think it is appropriate for this administration to waive the work requirement for able-bodied adults receiving some type of social services?

This idea that we've been practicing austerity is just not the case.

We might be better off and actually help families, help our culture, help our country if we didn't have 70 different programs administered in the various agencies across the Federal Government working with the States if we focused that on…

If that's not a disincentive to work, I don't know what is.
