I think that is the core of the argument here we have today.

I remain just a bit skeptical because it wasn't until this morning, in this surprise editorial in The Wall Street Journal...

Well let me ask you, is this a major, number one priority for the CFTC to correct this?

Yes, that is correct.

There is a good amount of very serious and legitimate concerns about coins that are being offered.

We, as lawmakers, cannot be unwilling to look at these Dodd-Frank rules, simply because they are too politically difficult to discuss.

I am proud to say this, that if it weren't for the most stringent capital leverage requirements that we put in place, our financial system wouldn't be as safe as it is today.

No law is perfect. And that is to say Dodd-Frank is not perfect.

But it said that there may be and should be an expanded Congressional role in overseeing the tariff decisions. And I am concerned do you support this?

Are you prepared, are you ready to be the one who will take full responsibility as the Treasury Secretary in charge when Georgia and this Nation inevitably enters into this high inflationary rate?

The people of this Nation are very worried. They are very concerned about this trade war.

I want to make sure, because we are going to be paying close attention.

You would not be where you are sitting without that helping hand.

Don't cut the helping hand off.

Without that, plus a helping hand, many helping hands, for us to come to where you are sitting, as a Cabinet official for the President of the United States, and, of course, me in my 15th year as Congressman.

I want you to think hard, man, about those helping hands, because, when you zero out the budget of the CDBG program, you are cutting off the helping hand for the poor.

Cobb County alone has experienced a $600,000 decline in CDBG funding this year.

I will remind everyone that it was Mr. Luetkemeyer and I who were working on this bill.

Our bill gets at the fundamental purpose of what we are discussing today.

I share your enthusiasm about using innovative technologies to solve many of the problems we have in today's financial system.

Thank you very much Chairman Luetkemeyer for holding this hearing.

Glad you will be the captain of the ship.

Will you be the captain of the ship?

That ain't the Democrats causing this, it is President Trump.

I am telling you, man. We have to stop this. If there's any message to take back to the White House, tell them to stop it.
