The legislation before us today is not for the big banks. It is not for the bureaucrats and their swanky downtown office at CFPB. This legislation was crafted for the American people, the men and women who work hard every day to earn a living. These individuals want choice in the financial products they can buy. They want healthy community banks. They want lower taxes instead of Wall Street bailouts. The Financial CHOICE Act was written over the past several years with these people in mind. We will restore hope and opportunity for them. I thank Chairman Hensarling and the Financial Services Committee for their hard work on this bill. I thank Chairman Sessions for bringing this bill to the floor. Mr. Speaker, I urge Members to vote ``yes'' on the resolution, and then to vote ``yes'' on the underlying bill.
