Barney Frank: “it was because they were banking crypto, not because they were insolvent.”

This bill--and I will differ specifically with Mr. Labrador on this--empowers people to take my tax money and use it to do things and then exclude me and Jim from its benefit.

I was one of three Members of the House who voted against that. Three of us, Ron Paul, Dave Wu, and I voted to allow this bigot to continue to demonstrate his bigotry.

We should have made it much higher, $125 billion or more, and we should have indexed it.

If you're going to dip your fingers in the Federal till, don't complain if a little democracy rubs off on them.
