Very privileged and powerful bankers in our country have hurt our Nation deeply, yet it seems that they get special treatment

What you've done to middle America is a sacrilege.

You have no conceivable idea of the damage you have done and are doing.

J.P. Morgan Chase got $1.6 billion, Bank of America got $12 billion, Citigroup got $2.3 billion.

Many and also many of which, most of which, have gotten counter-party funds through the AIG transactions through the Fed.

I think it's important for us to unwind back to the beginning of what happened.

Mr. Chairman, I would very much like to ask that the committee use its subpoena power to obtain those records.

Mr. Liddy, as a member of the board of Goldman Sachs through last September, were you involved in any of the meetings or discussions leading up to the disposition of Lehman Brothers or Bear Stearns?

Were you ordered to give them the $2.2 billion by the Federal Reserve?

But in any case, you have a direct interest in Goldman Sachs. You have a financial interest in Goldman Sachs.

All right. Bloomberg News reported on April 17th that you currently own 27,129 shares of Goldman Sachs stock. Is that true?

Thousands and thousands of families in places like Ohio are affected by their recalcitrance, and arrogance.

It's very interesting to see who got funds, when they're responsible for three-quarters of the subprime mess in the housing market that this country is facing.

So it was paid to the Federal Reserve. That doesn't necessarily mean it's deposited in the Treasury to be refunded to the American people, I take it?

Have you paid the taxpayers back any of the money that they have lent you to date?

Well, you've given them $2.2 billion.

The American people have now given AIG nearly $200 billion, and I guess others have stated we own about 79.9 percent of AIG.

I want the historical development of that division.

I want to begin today by thanking Chairman Michaud and Ranking Member Miller for permitting me to join you today to discuss a matter that is near and dear to my heart--the mental health of our veterans.

I applaud your leadership in holding a hearing on this subject, which were few and far between during my tenure on the Veterans Affairs Committee.

I want to take a look in some understandable way, if it can be made understandable, of the impact of this exponential growth in contracting on so many levels.

We have to fight a political fight in this country to convince the American people that our soldiers' lives are worth more than protecting oil.

However, I liked what you said, Ms. Fleming, about start with a trunk line where you have people who have the will to do this, and let's get it done and show the rest of the country.

I support a national plan. As a planner by profession, I support planning.

We landed a man on the moon, and we cannot move rail, high speed rail around this country?
