Barney Frank: “covering all forms of financial activity”

I want to respond to Ms. Waggoner who reads the bill--yes, you read the bill; you don't read every other line.

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.

Yes, I was frankly struck that Mr. Labrador went to such great pains to deny this.

I was particularly pleased that, unlike some others, he did not exclude Muslims from that tradition.
