In closing, this underlying bill, H.R. 1315, is trying to gut the reforms we fought for and won in the new Wall Street reform law. The CFPB is set to begin work today as the cop on the financial beat protecting American consumers and the economy from Wall Street greed. Republicans want to delay, defund, and dismantle the Dodd-Frank law. Make no mistake, Madam Speaker: Republicans want to remove protections for consumers and investors. Republicans want to return to a time where consumers, investors, and the entire financial system are at risk. I urge Members to vote ``no'' on this question of consideration. I yield back the balance of my time.
