I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for yielding me the time, and I thank him for his leadership. Indeed, the whole issue of data security is so vital to our constituents, so many of them have been victimized by identity theft. So I…

May I inquire how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Texas has 3 minutes remaining.

I would like to thank both gentlemen for their steadfast leadership on this issue. Basic economics tell us that when government fixes market prices, consumer welfare suffers. So it is not a surprise that researchers have found that the…

Yes, I do think you want a consumer agency that can stop the kind of abuses we saw at Wells Fargo and at payday lenders and in other markets, where there have been significant problems with taking advantage of consumers repeatedly over…

I plan to have dozens more hearings on the negative impact of Dodd-Frank on the American people and the economy.

The idea that we can make up for bad trade policies and restore the economy by letting Wall Street do anything they want didn't work in 2008. It is not going to work now.
