I thank the ranking member for her strong leadership in this fight against the ``Wrong'' CHOICE Act. The bill before us is broken. I was Governor of Florida when the financial crisis and foreclosure crisis rolled through my State like a hurricane. Unrestrained greed on Wall Street caused a preventable disaster because at no point did anyone say: This is simply wrong. I remember 2008 and 2009: the bailouts, the foreclosures, and the long, painful road to recovery. The financial crisis exposed a broken regulatory system, allowing Wall Street to gamble with Main Street's future. With this bill, Members are being asked to again trust the very people who brought us to this financial crisis. Don't put them back in charge. Do not let them do it again. Please vote ``no.''
