I think you are giving cover to a set of policies that aren't responsible, and we are all going to pay the price for the fiscal irresponsibility.

I look at this and I see the lights going off, the sirens are blaring, and I am almost setting a proverbial can on my counter and you are kicking it saying, listen, don't worry about $85 billion in cuts; do it a different day.

There is fat in the budget, and I think every American looks at how we spend our money and they say, I can cut 2 percent out of my family budget, small businesses can say, I can cut 2 percent out of my budget.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to adjourn will be followed by a 5-minute vote on approval of the Journal, if…

I support increasing capital requirements on our larger banks to insulate the American taxpayer from bailing out large financial institutions again.

My guys are concerned that they didn't really have an effective voice because we were concerned about the megabanks.

Have you all considered the overlay of all the proposed rulemakings and its impact on the consolidation of community banks across the country?

my constituents feel that the financial system is far from stable.

This hearing will hopefully highlight some of those concerns.

Being from a more rural part of the country, I keep getting that feedback from our small banks and credit unions about the compliance costs with all these new rules that are coming out.

Thank you, Chairwoman Capito, for holding this very important hearing.

I want to make sure that we do not restrict financial institutions from providing consumers with the power to choose.

Many of them tell us it is not making their lives easier.

I appreciate the gentleman for yielding. We're here talking about H.R. 4402 that's going to minimize the permitting process and the delays and streamline bureaucracy around mining. I want to be clear that there is no conversation in this…

There are a number of reasons why we should all vote to repeal ObamaCare: the tax increases on middle class Americans and the debt that is going to be piled onto the next generation of Americans. But I want to talk about the impact of this…

I think it is clear that we are not here because a private firm lost $2 billion.

On rollcall No. 317, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye.''

I first want to recognize the gentlelady from Illinois (Mrs. Biggert) and the gentlelady from California (Ms. Waters) for their great and hard work on the reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program. While I rise today in…

I have to say, I don't see a way to do what Scott just described.

I appreciate the gentleman from New York for yielding. As we talk about these issues--and I've been listening today as my colleagues have been discussing the tax policy--if you take a step back, if you look at all of the different rules…

Have them come talk to me. I am a reasonable guy.

And I guess, if you look at the background as to why we are seeing all these rules and regulations, it might be from some of the bad actors that Mr. Cole referenced, but, also, some of the behavior that has taken place on Wall Street and…

I come from a rural part of Wisconsin. I grew up in a town that has roughly 2,000 people.

the regulations are killing them. It is making it harder for them to do their jobs, to get capital out into their communities.

To be clear, we owe over $15 trillion in national debt. This year we're going to borrow $1.3 trillion and a couple of years before that. Every year we've borrowed $1 trillion. And I hear my friends across the aisle talk about a balanced…
