At the time, President Obama and Congress promised to hold Wall Street accountable and protect American families from unfair, abusive financial practices.
But six years later, we have seen firsthand that Dodd-Frank, as it is called for short, has allowed for continued taxpayer-funded bailouts and crippled Main Street businesses and community financial institutions.

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin), a member of the Financial Services Committee’s Task Force to Investigate Terrorism Financing, became an original cosponsor of the Prohibiting Future Payments to Iran Act after the Obama Administration on Tuesday disclosed that it had transferred an additional $1.3 billion in cash to Iran after delivering a $400 million cash payment the same day Iran released American prisoners.
WASHINGTON, DC –Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin), a member of the Financial Services Committee’s Task Force to Investigate Terrorism Financing, today released the following statement after the Obama Administration on Tuesday disclosed that it had transferred $1.3 billion in cash to Iran shortly after it delivered a $400 million cash payment the same day Iran released four American prisoners.
A Republican lawmaker is getting creative with his outrage over the Obama administration's $1.7 billion payment to Iran that coincided with the release of American prisoners.
Texas Rep. Roger Williams went on a tweet storm Wednesday about all the things $1.7 billion could buy instead of the payment to Iran.
Williams ended the rant saying the United States owes "nothing" to Iran because the country "is a state sponsor of terrorism that imprisons Americans and taunts our Navy."
