Steny Hoyer said "I think we all understand that the Chair of the FTC is a controversial figure. I get that. To draw a piece of legislation this broadly, I think, misserves the role that the Congress established the Commission to pursue. We can certainly step in when there are abuses. This says any rule-- good rule, bad rule, no rule. None of the funds to implement, administer, or enforce any rule, not the rule that is necessarily under consideration that we have been discussing, but any rule. I think that is bad policy, and I think, as I have said, it is dangerous to the American worker and the American purchaser of goods. I think that we ought to hone in on the particular and not paint with such a broad brush that will cause harm to the ability of the agency to do what we set it up to do. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
