Thank you so much for your tremendous leadership and for being such a pleasure for me and our staff to work with.

Elder financial abuse is a growing problem that we cannot ignore.

Most of those sentencing laws, are they state or are they Federal?

I guess as people are looking at capital and they are trying to create a way of having return, and they know they can buy Spanish debt or some other debt of a sovereign and get a much greater yield, and you guys are not going to ping them…

I am fascinated that sovereigns have a zero weighting, period, unless they are in default and it goes from zero to 150.

It just makes no sense to me. And it is my understanding it was the Europeans that pressed us hard to move into this regime, and I am just wondering why we did not push back.

This makes no sense and we are not going to be a part of this.

I actually think it is a novel idea that you guys have come up with this countercyclical buffer.

I wish to thank the great Senator from South Carolina, the State where I was born. I do want to say the committee makes those decisions. I don't want anybody to be jumping the gun with the kind of statements made earlier about future…

this year we will spend over $3.5 trillion, 60 percent of which is taxpayer money, 40 percent is borrowed. Over the next 10 years we will spend $45 trillion. We have not had a budget in this body for 1,240 days. Not only is this…

But isn't an 80 percent rate almost beyond belief, even for the Federal Government?

What we understood as far as the settlement that took place is it wasn't done voluntarily, that CMS threatened to cancel your ability to deal with them.
