It concerns me, therefore, that just as this crisis is accelerating, our diplomatic capabilities... are diminished.

Most experts agree that a preemptive strike at this point on North Korea would be reckless beyond belief.

Any ratcheting up of sanctions must be coupled with aggressive diplomatic engagement by the United States.

The situation in North Korea is the most urgent and dangerous threat to peace and security that we face.

I am just feeling a little bit puzzled and confused because this hearing is talking about the supervisory responsibilities of the Fed.

Let me really quickly address the bad idea of creating a distinction between monetary policy and supervisory functions of the Fed.

The central question that the Republicans will be asking here today is whether Congress should hamper the Federal Reserve's bank supervision authority.

I have to warn you to prepare yourself for a discussion on the dual mandate of the Fed, despite the title of this hearing.

It is an oxymoron to say you are going to have a rule and then it is going to be flexible.

I think if the House, particularly Republicans, were interested in chipping away at the debt problem that Dr. Levy emphasized in his testimony they wouldn't be considering trillions of dollars of tax cuts that are unpaid for.

The latest CBO report says that 32 million people are going to be kicked off Medicaid.

Congress' failure to renew the payroll tax holiday took something like $120 billion out of the economy at a time when the recovery was still slow to take off.

This is just the most amazing opportunity of my lifetime to be able to sit and listen to people with the level of expertise that all of you have brought here today.

How can you have any credibility about being pro-growth in our economy and then saying the Fed should stay out of it...

The way to come back from that or to address that... is for the United States to take the opportunity in meetings...

I see that as a massive opportunity missed, and it sends the wrong signal only days after.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you all for this very important discussion.

We really do want to figure this out. But just listening to the witnesses here, it sounds like this is really like getting the camel through the eye of a needle here.

The absolute best tool the U.S. has against North Korea is our global leadership and credibility to lead diplomacy and sanctions efforts.

North Korea is a belligerent nation with nuclear aspirations and an unstable leader.

The Fed needs to act in the interest of the economy as a whole

Again, these are always extraordinary opportunities for the committee to hear from the best and brightest in the financial services industry.

You know what retirees need? They need the fiduciary rule that helps them save by making advisers put their clients' interests ahead of their own.

I am not sure how it would have served retirees for the Fed to not have acted in the face of the Great Recession.

You know what doesn't keep my up all night? The impact of the Fed's crisis policy on retirement savings.
