It is really proof positive that whatever the OCC has done is not adequate to make you realize the level of your offenses here.

You have up to 2 million separate accounts being opened, up to 565,000 bogus credit cards being opened by your employees in secret against your customers.

We must mentor and support Financial Intelligence Units in vulnerable countries that lack the rule of law.

Given the complaints that we have seen today, it may be time to consider whether a good intention by the government has gone awry yet again.

As an Air Force wife, I consider myself a bit of a patriot. It is important to remember that our servicemen sign up because they wish to protect and defend the Constitution.

We have an obligation to do what is right for the American people.
