Gwen Moore

I think it is important for Congress over time to revisit this issue.

It is critical for the Congress to ensure that the Federal Reserve is serving the public as well as possible.

The Federal Reserve serves the whole public. Its decisions affect everyone.

Gwen Moore and I have legislation to encourage them to do that.

I could tell you that, if it wasn't for housing programs, I probably would still be in poverty.

I have seen nothing to indicate that Secretary Carson is up to the challenge.

Nobody wants a cell phone that was financed by rape, murder, mutilation. Would you agree? That is immaterial.

At a time when our country needs to invest in infrastructure, it is really difficult for cities to do this.

I just want to join in with my colleagues in thanking you for all your hard work on that.

When people didn't have skin in the game, the credit rating agencies, that you raised this before the crisis.

The IQ of this committee has gone down dramatically since you left.

However, such a powerful approach towards sanctions... must also allow for careful calibration in its implementation.

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.
