This bill would erase all of the progress we have made since then and put us on the road back to economic ruin.

I am not afraid of regulations, but I am not in favor of over-regulation.

They really hate you, don't they?

I will not be apologetic for my votes for pro-growth policies like the stimulus.

I think those were timely and provide additional accountability and stability to the financial system.
