I love coming down and listening to the majority leader when he comes down. You know, I was a real estate salesman. I felt like I was a pretty good real estate salesman. And a good salesman loves to hear another salesman. And I think the majority leader could sell an Eskimo ice cubes. But let me say this. He made a statement that the Republicans did not fool the people in November. We didn't. Y'all did. And I think the joke is up. I think the gig is up. I think the foolish is up, because now the ratings of this Congress are at 13 percent, which is about half of what they were when the Republicans in charge. So you're right. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.

We need to be giving an IQ test to some of these people at the CFPB who are making up these rules, who have never sold a piece of real estate.
In fact, a lot of us who were not on the committee when Dodd-Frank was passed feel kind of like that guy in the circus walking behind the elephant with a broom and a shovel.
If you have no regulatory authority over 99 percent of United States insurers, what do you tell your international partners about your ability to enforce the rules you agree with in our country?
I believe there is a place for Federal capital investment in projects of this magnitude, provided it is made in a fiscally prudent and responsible manner.
