"I think that these companies who did not take--see the writing on the wall, did not take this Congress seriously..."

"the more regulation you have, the more compliance cost you are going to have, but you are going to have to hire people, but they don't produce anything."

"I think, Mr. Chairman, that it is time for us now to try to deal--first of all, we have got to admit that we are a schizophrenic committee..."

"If the answer to our economic problem is more regulation so that we get more people hired for compliance, we could go out and start hiring people to go rob banks."
