I don't want to go through that again.

It was not predatory borrowers; it was predatory lending.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chairman. And here I am adding on to my free MBA that I get whenever we have such a distinguished panel here.

I was here when Henry Paulson walked in and said, 'I need $700 billion to keep our economy from going into free-fall.'

I am on record opposing eliminating considerations of employment from the dual mandate.

I was here when Barak Obama raised his hand and was sworn in, and we were losing 700,000 jobs a month and our economy was in free-fall.

The Fed ought to have diversity of opinions that can be reflected through capable, competent, and qualified women as well as men.

It doesn't look right for the Fed to not have diversity, not only in the opinions, but diversity with reference to the people who serve.

I consider myself as well to be a staunch advocate of the Bank, its mission, and I do believe that the moral authority and the involvement of the United States has led to a safer and more just world.

I think that we ought to and should explore smart reforms that balance maintaining the Fed's independence but that also bolsters public confidence and faith in the Fed.

I was initially extremely suspicious of this hearing, due to some proposals that I think would disastrously inject partisan politics into monetary policy.

I actually think that it may be helpful to have had this hearing to discuss the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve System.

The Fed was created and established to be independent, and I think that independence has fueled a lot of these misconceptions and misgivings about the Fed.

I definitely want you to explain how the orderly liquidation authority would work.

I think we just have to stop derailing ourselves with nonsense.

But that failure, Madam Chairwoman, is Congress' failure, not your failure.

But I want you to know that I have recognized that in the time immediately following the financial crisis, I think the Obama Administration and Congress reacted very forcefully with smart reforms and stimulus to make sure that the U.S…
