I am increasingly concerned about the impact of Dodd-Frank regulations on real economy, economic growth, and especially job creation.

This is why Washington is a problem. This is why you are the problem, sir.

You can't be a compassionate institution because everything you do is through force.

Thank goodness for Congress that is looking out for the American people, not the CFPB.

I think it is the responsibility of the CFPB to stop collecting this data or at least tell the American public why this is being collected.

I don't think anyone in this body is saying that we didn't have to address a financial crisis, but sometimes too much medicine is really bad also, and can actually hurt.

This is not about one aisle against another aisle. This is about people, this is about our children, it is about making sure that we create an environment in which they are free to be as ordinary or as extraordinary as they choose to be.

If we are not dealing with the issues that we have here, what kind of credibility do we have anywhere?

I think that we have an obligation to do whatever we can to make sure that everyone has the right to work in a place and not feel as if they are going to be discriminated against or feel as if they talk about it they won't be retaliated…

I want you to know that I am proud of who I am. I am proud of my color, I am proud of my heritage, I am proud of my State, I am proud of my country.

I think that any time we find discrimination, we should have a hearing on it, and we should call people out; we should weed them all out.
