David Scott: “You said that credit is a critical choice. It is almost a life-and-death choice.”

Agriculture is extremely important to our rural communities, but it is important to urban communities as well.

The regulatory impact on those hardworking families who provide us food and fiber, building materials, energy resources, I mean, it is a tax.

I would say that we would appreciate a strong safety net or a stronger safety net.
