mr. duffy, anything further? >> i just want to add that even if they reduce the penalty and that's fine, i always like to tell people you have to get your permits. we have complaints everyday. building a deck without a permit is going to cause problems. this lady is here for that. maybe next time she'll come get some plans done and come down like everyone else does. >> i'm sure that will happen next time. >> thank you. commissioners, the matter is yours. >> i would be comfortable reducing it to the minimum that the board -- >> $520? >> 2 two times. >> yeah, i would support that. i would also make it very clear if we are to vote on that motion that you have to get permits anytime you do building in the city of san francisco and hopefully this is a painful lesson of doing that in the future. we do see some mitigating circumstances. i think we are leaning towards reducing the penalty but we hope that you will take that into consideration next time you do any building on your property. >> i will move to grant the app

mr. duffy: thank you, madam speaker. mr. chairman, thank you for yielding. 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 that my colleagues and friends across the aisle talk about how there will be no consumer protection, that's absolutely false. we just want to make sure the consumer financial protection bureau works better and is more responsive to the american people. so i want to talk about a few of the things that this bill does. the first thing, it moves the director of the cfpb over to a bipartisan commission of five. now, i know my friends across the aisle have taken issue with this. however, when the cfpb was originally envisioned by the house democrats and former chairman, barney franc, they didn't have a sing the director, they actually had a -- single director, they actually had a commission. when liz liz warren, now senator warren, envisioned this package, it wasn't a director, it w

chairman. -- mr. duffy: thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for the work you've put in on this consumer protection bill. this bill is about accountability and transparency. as have been discussed today, the cfpb is collecting information on a -- almost a billion credit cards, a billion credit cards, which means if you're an american and you have a credit card, the cfpb is collecting and monitoring your transactions. so what we've done is said, listen, if you are here to protect the consumer, why don't you ask the consumer for permission and consent to take their information? if we care about the american citizenry, if we care about consumers and don't care about big government and the information they have on us, let's give them the power. let's ask them. that's all we do. empower the american citizenry. again, let's empower congress and the american people as well. when we don't fund agencies through this institution, we lose authority. we lose oversight. let's take that power and control back into congress and let's actually put th

from wisconsin, didn't just arrive from wisconsin, but has arrived here to the chair next to me, mr. duffy, for all of his hard work and leadership in bringing this very important piece of legislation to the floor. and i also would like to thank mr. carney from delaware for all of his hard work on the support of this legislation as well. what are we talking about here? today many small publicly traded companies are finding it more and more difficult to attract investors and demand for trading liquidity in their stocks. as a result, these companies may have trouble obtaining the investor capital they need for their companies to grow and create jobs. so h.r. 3448 would begin to address this liquidity crunch by testing a pilot program, whether increasing the minimum trading increment, also called on the tick size, for certain emerging growth companies, e.g.c.'s, from a penny to five cents or 10 cents and whether this would promote liquidity by incentivizing market makers and other investors that trade in these stocks. what it does do is concentrate their trading interests within a few price p

the primary author, mr. duffy of washington, has done excellent work, along with many other members of our committee. this is a package, mr. chairman, of commonsense reforms designed to make the cfpb more accountable, more transparent to the american people. the bill replaces the bureau's single unaccountable director with a bipartisan board. it puts the bureau's employees, whose compensation and benefits them $178,521, it puts on the civil service pay scale. it introduces a safety and soundness check on its regulations and gives the american people greater control over the massive, massive quantity its of personal financial data -- quantities of personal financial data that the bureau is collecting and maintaining on them at this time. mr. chairman, we do need consumer protection, but consumers don't only need to be protected from wall street but also from washington as well. h.r. 3193 will protect them from the cfpb, and the house should pass it without delay today. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: t

yeah from wisconsin, mr. duffy. >> you were throwing us for a loop. thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, madame chairwoman. we appreciate your time. especially those of us low on the dias. during his last testimony before our hearing, it was in july of 2013, chairman bernanke testified that in about five years we can expect a spike in our debt to gdp ratio arising mostly from long term entitlement programs and a bunch of other things including interest rate on the debt. president obama acknowledged the major driver of the long-term liabilities is medicare, medicaid and health spending and nothing else comes close i think was his quote. i guess to you, chair yellen, do you agree that there are serious economic consequences and risks associated with the risk to address the failure of the imbalances and agree with the president and the predecessor that the principle driver of the unsustainable national debt is long-term entitlements? do you agree with that? >> i do. >> great. we are on the same page. that's wonderful. and we also agree that we're not here to address this, you kno
