I think holding people accountable--and that is the point of capitalism.

I think that there is a lot more that needs to be done to improve the SEC's enforcement ability and its scope.

Why wouldn't we have a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect consumers?

None of you are here today to say that we should get rid of Dodd-Frank because of your concerns and the consternation that you have with one area of it.

The time has come now to actually enforce the mental health parity laws.

My God, can we not credit the President with something? He has made a difference in the lives of these people.

We ought to be proud of the fact that we didn't give a ransom, and we did bring them home.
