I thank the gentleman from Georgia and appreciate his comments tremendously. I think he made some very good points. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Smith).

I thank the gentleman for the reminder from one of our Founding Fathers, and I appreciate your service to the citizens in Georgia. I yield to another Member from the great State of Georgia (Mr. Loudermilk).

I thank the gentleman from Florida. I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Jody B. Hice).

... to supervise financial firms in a manner that promotes the stability of the financial system as a whole and limit the systemic damage that would result if a large financial institution does fail.

I worry that what might happen to Indiana's exporters as these trends continue, especially with China's new role, it could disrespect trade rules.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Indiana will be postponed. Amendment No. 4 in the Nature of a Substitute Offered by Mr. Van…

May I inquire as to how much time we have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Indiana has 2 minutes remaining, and the gentleman from Maryland has 9 minutes remaining.

First, I would like to just mention that CBO is actually projecting that our economic growth is going to slow down. That is happening under this administration's policies, and it is not helping Americans recover as quickly as possible…

I believe that we should focus on shutting down terrorists' financial resources by whatever means necessary.

One of the most effective ways the United States has disrupted terrorists in the past has been to cut off their financing.

Dodd-Frank has failed in bailouts and failed to lift the economy, as the President promised.

It is critical that we preserve Americans' confidence in the objectivity of their central bank for the 21st Century and beyond. That is why the Fed must adopt a rules-based approach to monetary policy and focus on the long term.

This economy is not working for the American people.

It is about equality. It is about equality for our privately insured credit unions to have the same opportunities as other financial institutions.

I remain troubled at the Fed's bloated balance sheet and I remain unconvinced that there is a viable exit strategy from the Fed's policy of quantitative easing.

The American people can ill afford the inflation, debt, and insecurity that this misguided approach threatens.

I have authored a bill, the FFOCUS Act, which eliminates the Fed's dual mandate in order to focus on price stability.

This agency has been given some of the broadest, most unchecked authorities in the history of our Federal Government.

As I have said in the past, it is important that Congress examine the CFPB at every opportunity, particularly given that there are still considerable structural challenges at this agency.

I do believe that if we would address those issues, the trajectory of our economy would change.

I can tell you, the American people are not trusting of this Administration right now.

Do you think that the confidence level of the American people in the IRS... is going to be increased at all?

I want to talk about what, really, I think is holding up the economy, and that is the health care law.

I just think that if we want to help make a difference in the Congo, the best thing to do is to be involved economically and to share our best practices, to share the system that we operate under with people there rather than really…

Some people may pat themselves on the back and say, well, we are making sure that we are not using their resources or their minerals, but we are only hurting the people of the Congo.
