Adam Kinzinger

I do have some serious concerns that without privacy protections, consumers could lose confidence in the online free market.

We want to maintain a marketplace of innovation and give consumers the tools to protect their personal information.

This is very important... it is extremely important I think to the future of energy in this country.

If I can just say quickly on that point, Aby Mohseni, acting director for licensing and inspections at the NRC, made this remark: ``Some senior managers contributed to the manipulation of the budget process and information to apparently…

If my colleague wouldn't mind, and you mentioned it just a few minutes ago, this idea passed this body with a large majority. That to me seems like this is the will of the American people. It's not just some agenda or some crazy…

Sure. And paying for a long time. Let me add, for every year we delay opening--Yucca Mountain is not going away; it doesn't disappear off the face of the Earth--for every year we delay, it's costing us half a billion dollars more than what…

I have had people who run grain elevators come in and talk to me about the impact that Dodd-Frank is going to have on their business.

We're trying to find that balance between too much government regulation, which freezes up the system and continues to stagnate the economy, and no government regulation, which also is bad for the economy.

There is a role for the government in the economy, but what is that role, and we definitely don't want to have too much of a role

We can go to Washington, D.C., and we can talk about laws and we can talk about bills and all that kind of stuff, but you really don't know how it impacts people until you hear from people

Yes. How many times is Washington going to be dishonest with us and just say, I know it didn't work in the past, but it's going to work this time? The President himself said the shovel-ready jobs--chuckle, chuckle--weren't so shovel-ready…

What's amazing to me is we've conditioned--I mean Republicans and Democrats, not ``we.'' We've only been here less than a year. But the American people have been so conditioned to believe that if there is any difficulty, the answer is a…

Do we have any idea approximately how much American money is being bet on those sites?

Well, thank you, Madam Chairman, for putting this on.

And ultimately, you know, if it is unregulated, it is almost impossible to put them out of business.

And again, we are talking about regulated sites right now, correct?

I think government needs to put an end to needless regulations that do little to protect the consumer or protect jobs.

I mean, you have a lot of people that want jobs out there. And when you talk about killing jobs from the government perspective, that is not a good way to get on the right train of creating jobs.

In a fiscal climate where every dollar is precious, we do have to be focused on protecting jobs and we have to be focused on our economy.

Congress is still waiting. Instead, the IWG devised voluntary nutrition standards for food marketing to children that would require product reformulation with no scientific evidence that these new marketing restrictions would lead to…

Well, thank you. And again, this appears to be a good example of where government and private sector seems to be working well together.

It is going to be through that free market.

It would be really sad to think of where we would be, frankly, without, you know, technology innovation right now as an economy.

I think as we, you know, here in Congress debate things like the economy and jobs and what is the proper role of government, you know, does government micromanage an economic recovery or is it the private sector, which I believe?

Can I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 1 minute.
