"We created the CFPB to fill this void to make sure that never again would consumers be an afterthought in our Nation's financial system."

"Last month, the House Appropriations Committee passed a bill that kills the CFPB's independence."

"The CFPB has proved over and over that its creation was one of the big success stories of Wall Street reform."

"These hearings are especially important, and I am appreciative that we have them so that we do not forget the cost of the financial crisis."
