On the recordNovember 3, 2015
So it is my contention that when you have a trucker in Bangor, Maine, or a teacher in Lewiston, Maine, in the greatest district, in the greatest State in the country, and they are doing their best to put aside $50 or $100 a month to make sure they plan for retirement, but because of these Dodd-Frank regulations over an industry that poses no systemic risk to the economy, if that happens and these regulations prevail, then these folks will have to work longer, and will have less money in their nest egg, and that is not fair, and it is not compassionate.
