If you are not going to give me the documents, exert your privilege.

If they didn't, I can't imagine what the Fed would do if someone didn't comply with your request.

This institution is entitled to those documents. Would you agree?

I think there is a little bit of revisionist history when we say, you know what, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac didn't have anything to do with the crisis.

The regulators had wild authority and power. They failed. And instead of taking a look at the regulation and the regulators, we have re-empowered regulators.

It's no wonder that big banks after Dodd-Frank haven't gotten smaller. Big banks have gotten bigger.

I appreciate the chairman yielding. I am grateful for Chairman Luetkemeyer's work on this important issue. Our financial systems are the bedrock of our economy. When financial systems work, our economy works. And we have seen when our…

The poorest community in a society, who rely on their government for help, are the ones who will be hurt the worst if a crisis comes.

It is concerning for us that the other side doesn't talk about restraining spending...

They have an obligation to be honest with this committee.

Spending at this rate is unsustainable and is the reason why so many of my colleagues and I actually ran for Congress.

This is really a hearing about Treasury and Treasury's, I would argue, dishonesty with this committee, this Congress, and with the American people.

I would be delighted if we did not have to have any debates about spending because we had Barack Obama...

I appreciate the gentleman from New Jersey yielding. I am grateful for his powerful advocacy for the unborn in his whole tenure here in Congress. You have been a true leader and an inspiration for some of us who have come after you. I have…

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. Tonight I rise to talk about our brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico. If you have watched the news recently, you are well aware that there is an economic financial debt crisis taking place right now in…

Does the panel--I think the panel has all agreed on the oversight front that Congress is entitled to do oversight over FSOC.

Do you know that there was a recent attack, some alleged by ISIS, in San Bernardino?

I would think that is far more serious. And the information that we are entrusted with is far more serious than the information you have and aren't complying with.

I believe when Chairman Hensarling asked the panel who had insurance experience, if I recall, it was Mr. Woodall and Chair White.

Is there a political analysis and connectivity with people in power that go into the determination of designation on FSOC?

If you are concerned about the questions that you get today about the transparency of FSOC, it is because the elected members of this body don't have timely compliance or any compliance from Mr. Lew or any of you.

Some of my friends across the aisle's arguments are: Don't let the people know. Let's not be transparent. Let's have the EPA implement rules with no comment, no transparency, and no input from the American people. That is not what our…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill, add the following new title: TITLE VII--OTHER MATTERS SEC. 7001. ASSESSMENT OF…

Today I rise to talk about a commonsense amendment, an amendment that takes aim at excessive bureaucratic rulemaking at the EPA. {time} 1930 The EPA has long been known to issue onerous and costly rules with little regard to the impact on…
