I thank my friend from Virginia for his passionate defense of free enterprise and illuminating the true cost of socialism, and not just the $93 trillion price tag that he mentioned, but the true cost, which is the cost of our very freedom by empowering government at the expense of the people. At this time, to continue our discussion, Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a true capitalist. Who better to defend the system of capitalism than a man who is, himself, a businessman, an entrepreneur, a risk-taker, a capitalist: my good friend and a terrific member of the Financial Services Committee, Congressman Roger Williams. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Williams).
