Kevin Brady: “I would remind the Chamber that more than 40 States, not just this administration, more than 40 States, Democrat…”

I would remind the Chamber that more than 40 States, not just this administration, more than 40 States, Democrat Governors and Republican Governors, use the exact same type of collection techniques, the same partnerships, to do what is right for the American people. I would point out that we have heard claims today of literally tens of thousands of people who have been harassed by these private debt collectors, all the abuses.

I would predict there will be no name mentioned. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
