On the recordJanuary 11, 2017
The bottom line is that my friends on the other side of the aisle, in their quest to satisfy the big businesses that fund these campaigns, don't like regulations that protect the health, safety, and well-being of Americans, including children, including the elderly, the weak, the sick. They are trying to get rid of the Affordable Care Act; trying to kill those regulations; trying to kill regulations on Dodd-Frank, which is protecting people from financial ruin by Wall Street barons. This is an incessant march toward a deregulatory environment. We can't let it continue unabated. We must protest. We must speak out. We must do the right thing to protect the people of this country. For that reason, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Chabot). The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Graves). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 7 Offered by Mr. Young of Iowa The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 7 printed in part A of House Report 115-2.
