I think my last comment will be more of a comment than a question. We have heard in recent days that the cost of the ACA is going down to an estimate of about $1.2 trillion, with somewhere between 27 and 34 million Americans still…

For me, as I translate it into what I think is important for my constituents back at home in South Carolina, this is really about the cost and the availability of small loans and consumer credit at home in South Carolina.

these fixed compliance costs become like a regressive tax to my folks in South Carolina.

A regional bank, for my constituents, is a community bank with simple operations that simply expanded its footprint.

Obamacare plans often leave individuals with sticker shock and less access.

I will say that what continues to give me pause, and I think the net neutrality debate is a very interesting one, is the potential camel's nose under the tent regarding future regulation.

I think it is been nice to watch the interchange and debate, and I appreciate your testimony, both of you today.

I hope that we will make that a priority because, you know, with the challenges that we are facing, 21st century challenges of climate change, of flooding, of, unfortunately, terrorist attacks, it is becoming more and more of a pressing…

I do not believe that our Nation should have no regulations, but I do believe that regulations should be local whenever possible, limited in scope, and that the least costly solutions should be followed.

we are celebrating, or some are celebrating, the 5th anniversary without truly appreciating the lack of access, specifically in rural areas of my State.

Thank you for your leadership in this area.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I thank all of you for being here today. I am a small business owner in Texas, a job creator for 44 years, a Main Street guy, and in full disclosure, I am an auto dealer.

I appreciate you doing it cheerfully but also forcefully.

I think Commissioner Clyburn hit the nail on the head in terms of we are looking at moving to phase two of the Mobility Fund.
