If he estimates $120 million over 3 years, I think he has done his numbers.

Look, we have to put an amount in this bill. And now you have a chance to tell us what you think you need.

I would say that the market, although it is enormous, there are--the legislation consolidates a lot of this regulation into entities.

When you say appropriate, tell me, what would you say? How much?

It is very important that we make sure that we provide you with sufficient funding to do this very much needed job.

And let me ask you, can you share with us, are there any benefits to this provisional framework that provide the Commission with authorities or information to which you cannot currently assess?

What will be the effect of providing no additional funding resources to the SEC and the CFTC to implement this proposal?

My concern is that by removing one of the reports from a lender's review, FHFA is potentially leaving predictive and positive credit history out of the credit risk assessment.

I think you are going to go down in history as absolutely being the most irresponsible leader of a bank in the history of this country.

It is my understanding, then, that your office has expanded what we refer to as examination procedures for banks with significant exposure to commercial real estate.

But I think what we are concerned about is the fact that these commercial risk markets represent only a small part of the total assets held by the larger banked community.

I think of any number of companies that have experienced Gary Gensler's, 'Hotel California,' approach to crypto regulation where there is no path to leave.

How does pushing these same consumers into opaque, risky, volatile markets advance these goals?

The supposed benefits of digital assets that we have all heard about, have yet to be seen in real life.

These sketchy types of offerings provide little to nothing in the way of disclosures to investors, who, quite honestly, are being used.

I have long been concerned about the risks and the pitfalls of cryptocurrencies and what they pose for our retail investors.

This is the priority that this Subcommittee and the Full Committee should be focused on.

These massive corporations and investors have been outbidding my constituents everywhere we look, and far too often the homes these non-occupant investors purchase will never resurface on the housing market.

I also want to ask the Majority whether you will work with me on the bill that I have introduced, H.R. 702, the Housing Oversight and Mitigating Exploitation Act (HOME Act), to protect the limited supply of housing that we have and to…

I would ask the Majority: When will we have a hearing?

Now is the time to invest in the farm bill, not limit agricultural spending.

We must be realistic about our goals and our timelines, and it is essential that the EPA works collaboratively with farmers, not punitively.

With the 2025 deadline looming, EPA has continued to move forward with an impractical timeline for states to meet the targets.

With passage of our Inflation Reduction Act (Pub. L. 117-169) last term, we made historic investments in rural America to help our farmers and rural communities mitigate climate change and continue to lead the way on renewable energy.
