Thank you for yielding. Madam Speaker, just to be clear, the bill that is before the House today is not a repeal bill of the CFPB. It is a modification, a reform package to the CFPB. So when my colleagues and friends across the aisle talk…

Collecting information from the American people and their phone records is one thing, knowing who you call and when you call them. It is something far different, Mr. Speaker, when you see how they spend, where they spend, when they spend…

I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding to me. I am hearing the arguments from across the aisle about how the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is protecting consumers and protecting America from unfair practices and risks in the…

I appreciate that. And I will take you up on the offer to meet with me privately.

if there have been security breaches or cyber attacks, that necessarily hasn't been made public.

I think it is disrespectful to the elected body to not provide those reports as required.

I think earlier you said one of the main goals that you have is to be responsive: 'We want to keep Congress informed.'

I think today there are people who should qualify, after the QM rule, who now won't be able to get a loan.

I am fearful that the way this rule is written, low-income and moderate-income minorities who had an opportunity previously to work with a community banker to get a mortgage to buy a house are the ones who are going to be left out.

I understand the push, after the financial crisis, to have some form of a qualified mortgage rule.

I want to talk about ObamaCare this afternoon and the fact that the President came out to the American people and said that healthcare.gov was going to work like Amazon and Kayak, Web sites where consumers are able to go shop for products…

As I listen to the conversation this morning and the 1 minutes that are given, I don't hear many of my friends across the aisle talking about ObamaCare. When I am back at home, I am hearing from thousands of people who have lost their…

But you only get these kinds of rules from Bureaucrats in Washington who have no idea about our Wisconsin communities.

Having fewer small banks and credit unions serve our communities, I don't think makes us a better-served country.

Just a comment on the bipartisanship. It becomes very challenging to get things to move in this institution unless we are getting both sides working together and signing on.

I first want to thank you, Madam Chairwoman, for holding this important hearing.

I would agree, I think, with everyone today that discrimination still exists in America. It hasn't been rooted out, and I think it is incumbent upon the Congress and the country to do all we can to make sure we do root it out and make sure…

Last week Egyptian gunmen attacked a wedding at the Coptic Christian Church of the Virgin Mary, killing four and wounding many others. Among those killed were two young girls, a 12- year-old and an 8-year-old. As a father of six, I can't…

I would echo your comments, Madam Chairwoman, in that the CFPB is a large and powerful agency which is unaccountable.

We are here today to highlight the structural problems with the CFPB.

These defects, along with others, make the CFPB one of the most unaccountable agencies in American history.

But this underscores the point of the testimony that we always get. It is a bailout. If it looks like a bailout, it walks, it quacks, it is a bailout, just call it a bailout.

I have been working on legislation with the gentleman from Delaware, Mr. Carney, that would establish a pilot program that would allow emerging growth companies to trade at 5 and 10 cent increments.

Congress put aside partisan differences last year and passed the JOBS Act, which removed a number of barriers to raising capital to start a business.

I've got to tell you, this is remarkable. I hear a passionate speech from the gentlelady from Connecticut, and I hear my friends across the aisle applauding? We're here to provide funding for 9 million women and children because we're here…
