Sen. Crapo discusses fire fighting funding with Agriculture Secretary Perdue
Date: 09/26/2017
A bipartisan group of western senators pushing for their legislation to fix “fire borrowing” heard strong evidence from Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and fire experts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Forest Service that Congress should pass their bill to end fire borrowing.
The Wildfire Disaster Funding Act, introduced by Sens. Mike Crapo, Jim Risch, Ron Wyden, D-Ore. and Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and five other bipartisan senators, would treat wildfires as natural disasters and stop the erosion of the Forest Service’s budget by reforming the way the federal government funds wildfires. The legislation would end “fire borrowing,” which has depleted funds intended for forest restoration, habitat programs, trail maintenance and fire prevention programs, such as thinning. More than 250 private and public organizations have supported the legislation.

This measure encourages the smartest, most innovative and creative minds in nuclear science to partner together to move nuclear forward.”

The legislation would also identify and eliminate barriers to innovation within the private sector, while strengthening collaboration with the national labs to maintain American preeminence in nuclear energy.

Date: 01/12/2016
Tonight President Obama used his final State of the Union address to outline his vision and priorities for our country. But again, he continues to pursue more growth in government and more unrestrained spending. I have disagreed with many of the President’s initiatives during his presidency. But our failure to deal with our fiscal crisis is paramount. Over the last seven years we have seen an explosion of debt, an unprecedented growth of government and a restriction of our privacy and freedoms. Our national debt has grown, now exceeding $18.8 trillion. We cannot continue to ignore our debt and simply try to spend our way into prosperity with borrowed money.

Crapo: "By Any Objective Measure The President's Health Care Plan Is A Disaster."
Date: 12/02/2015
By any objective measure, the President’s health care law is a disaster. Six years ago Christmas, the Senate debated the legislation that would eventually become Obamacare. It was passed in the most partisan and misguided fashion possible – by a straight party-line vote after rejecting any serious amendments from our side of the aisle. During that consideration, many of us warned the proposal would result in widespread dislocation of the American health care economy, increase taxes on nearly everyone, force people from health insurance plans and doctors they have and like, push up premiums and out-of-pocket expenses, cut Medicare services, and undermine the employer-based health insurance market that so many rely upon for their families.

Crapo-Johnson Bill Provides Multiple Layers of Protection for Taxpayers
Date: 05/01/2014
The federal government controls 95% of the secondary mortgage market industry of the United States. That's $5 trillion worth of mortgages, and U.S. taxpayers are first in line risking the security of that system. The Crapo-Johnson bill provides multiple layers of protection ahead of the taxpayer: it tightens up mortgage standards, requires the private sector to provide a significant level of capital ahead of the taxpayer, requires mortgage insurance up to 20%, and includes a mortgage insurance fund similar to the FDIC—all this before the taxpayer can ever be on the hook for a downturn in the market.

Crapo Talks 30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rate for Housing
Date: 04/02/2014
Senator Crapo explains that in order to maintain the 30-year fixed mortgage rate in housing finance reform, a government guarantee must be included in reform. However, the recently-introduced Johnson-Crapo housing finance reform legislation requires significant private capital to be placed in the first-loss position, ahead of the taxpayer, in the event of another catastrophic housing market downturn. We need to reduce the government's footprint in the housing market, wind down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and introduce private capital back into the market.

Crapo to CFPB: "Assurance" No Guarantee for Privacy
Date: 07/10/2013
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is collecting mass amounts of consumers' personal financial data, but has failed to provide Ranking Member Crapo with specific information regarding issues such as how many accounts they are following and for what they will use the data. When the CFPB was created via Dodd-Frank, a statute was included specifically prohibiting the CFPB from collecting "personally identifiable information." Although officials from the CFPB have stated they are "not interested in consumers personally," this hardly guarantees privacy protection from parties who are potentially interested.

Senator Crapo asked Mr. Cordray if he would help make changes to the CFPB. Senator Crapo, and other members of the GOP conference, believe that structural changes to the CFPB are essential. Moving from a single Director to a board format will bring about transparency and openness. In addition, the agency needs to be put on the federal appropriations process so that Congress knows how monies are being spent especially on items such as contracts and outside services. And finally, the prudential regulators need to have more than just informal input into the CFPB's policy and rulemaking decisions.

Both the SEC and FDIC have survived nearly 80 years and the board structure has provided sufficient transparency and openness so that Congress and the general public have a very good understanding of each agency's mission and operation. Unfortunately, the CFPB lacks this transparency and openness regarding its operations, budget and intended mission.

Crapo: Dodd-Frank Needs the Proper Cost-Benefit Analysis
Date: 02/14/2013
U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, joined colleageues in a hearing on Wall Street Reform and Oversight. Together, the hundreds of Dodd-Frank proposed rules are far too complex, offering confusing and often contradictory standards and regulatory proposals. Senator Crapo is concerned that the regulators do not understand the cumulative effect of the hundreds of proposed rules, and that there is a lack of coordination among them, both domestically and internationally. That is why it is important for the regulators to perform meaningful cost-benefit analysis so that we can understand how these rules will affect the economy as a whole, interact with one other and impact our global competitiveness.

Crapo to Lew: Why do we need tax reform?
Date: 02/13/2013
Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) joined his other colleagues on the Senate Finance Committee to paraticipate in the nomination hearing of the President's nominee to be U.S. Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew. This is a segment of Senator Crapo questioning Mr. Lew about tax reform. Senator Crapo believes there needs to be comprehensive reform of the tax code. Tax hikes are not the answer—they will not grow the economy or create jobs. We must dramatically simplify our tax code by eliminating complexity, favoritism and loopholes, broadening the base and significantly lowering the rates. True tax reform would contribute significantly to reducing our national debt and creating jobs.

Senator Crapo wants CFPB to Conduct a Small Business Panel on Mortgage Rule
Date: 09/19/2012
The Banking Committee held a hearing entitled, "Holding the CFPB Accountable: Review of Semi-annual Report to Congress." The witness was: The Honorable Richard Cordray, Director, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The qualified mortgage rule requires lenders to make sure borrowers have the ability to repay their loans. The CFPB is required to conduct a small business panel when issuing rules that will significantly impact small businesses. Since the ability to repay rule was transferred from the Federal Reserve to the CFPB after the proposed rule stage, the CFPB is not legally required to conduct a small business panel.

Crapo Urges Senate to Consider Amendment
Date: 10/21/2011
The unprecedented scope and pace of agency rulemaking under the Dodd-Frank Act make it more important than ever that our regulators engage in deliberative and rational rulemaking. Unfortunately, many of the proposed rules do not give sufficient consideration to how they will affect Main Street and the economy as a whole, interact with one another, or impact our global competitiveness. This amendment prohibits any funds from being used by the CFTC to promulgate any final rules until the agency (1) fixes its rulemaking process, (2) adheres to Congressional intent to provide end-users with a clear exemption from margin requirements, and (3) sets clear bounds on the overseas application of the derivatives requirements.

Senator Crapo's statement at Financial Regulatory Reform conference committee, June 29, 2010
Date: 06/30/2010
Crapo questions how the new pay-for on financial reform will work, calls the pay for smoke and mirrors by taking TARP funds that were promised to reduce the deficit to pay for new spending, and supports an amendment to use unused stimulus funds instead.
Under revised language, the conference report was changed to replace a $20 billion lending tax with a proposal to save money by limiting the Administration's ability to make new commitments under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and increasing assessments for the FDIC fund that protects depositors. Unspent TARP funds by law are specifically required to reduce the deficit and should not be used as a budgetary gimmick to pay for new government programs. Crapo argues that instead of using TARP funds that were promised to reduce the deficit to pay for new spending and raiding the deposit insurance fund conferees should offset the spending by cutting spending somewhere else in the budget.
