Basically, the federal Housing Finance agency is a very agency. Mel watt is very powerful because he doesnt answer to a board or commission or the president. Hes an independent regulator. The policies that he sets governing the mortgages that and freddie mac affect about 2 3 of american mortgages. Thats how many mortgages are freddieby fannie and now in the market.

Now, the chairmans opening remarks, he was correct. We are not here to analyze a poll that was taken about the va. But we are here rather to look at the investigations that have already taken place, and addressed certain deficiencies within the veterans system that no action was taken on, or at least not corrective action. In fiscal year 2013, the reported 93 of specialty primarycare appointments and 95 of Mental Health appointments were made within 14 days of the patients or providers desired date.

I know your hearts are in the right place. Rob race is holding you back. I cant imagine a world, dr. Lynch, where you would let someone in a bureaucracy not get thatenim or myself information, why you wouldnt have again out on a limb and theyill get it and if dont like it, too bad. And that mentality gets us to today, because what were all trying to do is solve this problem to provide timely quality care for our veterans. And everyone gets that, the you, us.
