There's no federal government agency that ought to be immune from having to explain the potential financial impact of an action they've taken or intend to take. We deserve the specifics.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We don't need unelected federal agency bureaucrats in Washington telling our states what they can and can't do with respect to protecting their limited taxpayer dollars in private enterprises.
We're charged by Congress with regulating financial institutions. We take that mission seriously. We are tough supervisors and regulators.
We just ask the agency to make reasonable and honest decisions, and the public deserves no less.
The Federal Reserve, the Treasury, all the regulator agencies - if there's a problem of the financial mechanism in society, the only one to fix it is government. They've got a legitimate role.
Where the federal government and the taxpayer has had funds misused, we need to use the full extent of the law to get those funds back for the taxpayer.
The biggest issue I have with the CFPB is that I don't believe that they should be funded out of profits from the Federal Reserve.
The GAO just released a report that said 22 percent of federal programs fail to meet their objectives. The truth is we don't know how taxpayer money is spent in Washington, D.C., which is why I think we ought to put every agency budget up on the Internet for everyone to see.
As attorney general, I can either look into it or I can ignore it because they're a bunch of powerful legislators... and I'm afraid they're going to cut my budget.
I want to be completely clear that I strongly oppose 'Audit the Fed.'
It's time for some common sense from federal agencies.
