Thanks, Chief, appreciate it very much. And again, Thank to the Chairman and Ranking Member.

Your own study shows that we are already doing that, and now you are adding additional regulation.

Do you agree with Energy Secretary Granholm's call on oil and gas companies to increase production to help minimize harm to American families?

Gas prices are 41 percent higher nationally than when the President, the current President, took office.

And so that was really the effort behind the Joint Chiefs' Legislation that Bennett and I have.

I understand the importance of the sugar program. Absolutely.

A failure of the bank, a failure with the regulators, and without any question, a failure at the top, which is the President of the United States, that created an inflationary effect that we haven't seen.

Are you committed to making sure that all these different programs we are talking about are truly farmer friendly and not mandatory, so that we can support agriculture in its diversity out there?

Good farm policy benefits every single American, every single day, because our farmers and ranchers produce the highest quality, lowest cost food supply in the world.

Well, you and I have talked about doing that, and I think that is important, but it also goes to right now 80 percent of the farm bill is essentially transfer payments, SNAP, nutrition, those kinds of things.

Would you agree that by supporting that farm network the way I think we are both talking about actually produces more food, more variety, and lower costs that benefit all those other programs?

The average person in our country has a bank balance of around $5,000. And those folks, because of the actions of the regulators and this Administration, will now be bailing out those who had balances of $5 million.
