>> oddly enough, i was with chip connolly yesterday. i went down to their headquarters. it was a lot of fun. i loved it. i think they're a real disrupter. they're going to disrupt the business in some way. their already doing it. i think it's public out there that there are plans to sell 40 million room nights this year, 30 million of which are offshore. there's 5 million traditional hotel rooms in the united states. that's two nights of occupancy. it's not insignificant, but they're mostly a lower-priced product. we're priced at over $200 a night. they're probably priced around $100 a night. the average stay is five nights. hours is probably two nights. they're heavily skewed toward leisure. we're heavily skewed toward business. i think they're going to get into that market. i'm not terribly worried. they're a bigger competitor threat for the more limited-service hotels at a lower price point. >> i do see it especially in this area. i rent out my place, and i get all business travelers. all the time. it just seems like you said it's a natural next step for them. do you

connolly: i thank the chair. i'm proud to offer this amendment on behalf of myself, my good friend, congresswoman tammy duckworth of illinois. h.r. 899 boasts an orwellian title with attempts to deceive the public into believing that the unfunded mandates information and transparency act is simply an innocuous attempt to enhance transparency rather the subversive legislative assault on public health, safety and environmental protects that it truly is. h.r. 899 is simple low an effort to throw a wrench into the rulemaking process, ensuring that private industry, provided privileges and rights far above any other stakeholder in the regulatory process. in many respects, h.r. 899 represents the mitt romney principle on steroids, for it appears that in the minds of our friends on the other side of the aisle not only is it a fact that corporations are people, my friend, but under this measure, republicans appear to be embracing this that treats corporations better than people. regrettably, this bill provides private co

connolly: i thank the chair. gosh if there's a tired debate on this floor my good friend from georgia has just identified. it's that hackneyed phrase, crushing burden of regulation. that would come as news to most americans who have benefited from clean air regulations, which by the way has net created jobs, not destroyed them, and the republican narrative here couldn't be more false except that they're protecting their base, their corporate base, in my view at the expense of the average american sint who wants to bring -- to breathe clean air, wants to drink clean water and wants to protect their children. with that i yield back, mr. hairman. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman is recognized. mr. crawford -- mr. collins: i'm aplaced that my friend across the aisle, i'm not sure when you look at the workers i've named and look at the business owners who come to my office an discuss the fact that their jobs are being lost, things are being taken because of regulatory burden, it is. the tired argume

connolly: thank you, mr. chairman. i thank my distinguished ranking member and my friend from california. mr. chairman, i rise to oppose this latest republican assault on the cfpb. it's truly baffling to see my colleagues continue to attempt to undermine the only federal regulated -- regulation created to protect american consumers. contrary to the talking points of the other side this mashup of bills will only burden the cfpb with more bureaucracy, not less. for example, the bill would replace the director who has been on the job for just six months after the senate republicans held up his confirmation for two years with a cumbersome five-person committee. it also seeks to take it out of the federal reserve and make it subject to annual appropriations. they say it's to provide tougher oversight but that's a ruse. they stated they would defund cfpb altogether as they could. as ranking member of the subcommittee on house oversight, i would note that director cordray has been before this congress 46 times since cfpb was

whole issue i read several other national practice within the garden why is it meant is that mr connolly said the rules so are the allegations from the whistleblower bar is the case that the whole market has passed on to that the ship. the complaints include there are the handling of the case of the murderous if you wrote any in particular how can a kid to be at home day that the tone for a previous offence and over of assault cases said dr been properly investigated. guard the comfort of the case of false imprisonment and abduction of rio bomb damage cases work are the records were tampered with his old was the pressure on them and showed her use of the country today. a group of independents calling for the reform eight said he could no longer continue. i think he's lost the confidence of the home department of justice in just his country. ahh looks to be real about the good in that situation. the missus situation is complete enough to be on the road to many controversies of the smoke the message from alan shatter as being nothing to see here move home. thus most decidedly this did not

connolly for five minutes. mr. connolly: there is a decline in american leadership, but it is not overseas, not at all, it's here at home. since the 1970's, american workers have seen their wages fall or stagnate. the wealthiest american incomes have increased fourfold. even after 40 years of economic growth, today's generation takes home less than its grandparents did and high school graduates make 40% less than their predecessors did four decades ago. this problem ought to elicit bipartisan concern but my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have shown no interest in the consequences. for many of my republican colleagues, even talking about it is uncomfortable. it's time to realize that all too many americans, hardworking americans are falling behind. from 1979 to 2007, wages for the top 1% grew 156%. while the bottom 90% of us saw our wages grow only 17%. since 1983, 75% of the growth in wealth has been captured by the top 5% while the bottom 60% actually suffered a net decline. by 2010, nearly all low-inco

connolly documented very clearly that we had been able to drop dramatically tobacco use. and it kills more people than marijuana if you don't know that. but we've been able to drop that without locking people up, without arresting -- i think this administration has seen three to four million people arrested for marijuana since it's been in office. >> and yet we've been able to drop tobacco use without being coercive and we've been using fact based advertising and focused our efforts on things that matter rather than things that don't work. and i respectfully suggest that you and the department take a step back if you're concerned that somehow people think marijuana is benign. that part of the reason is that drug professionals can't communicate in ways that the rest of america does. i appreciate you're being here and i welcome any written follow-up to my questions. i'm not trying to trap you but i'm very discouraged by your inability to answer questions. >> let me tell you this morning, i spent the bulk of my morning with a number of parents from across the country who are
