I appreciate your leadership on this and so many other issues. I am going to have a couple of questions for you in a minute because I, like my colleague and friend from Arizona, wasn't here when Dodd-Frank was created. I like to say I wasn't here for the creation; I just have to live with the echo effects of it. I have to figure out what it means in this post Dodd-Frank world. By the way, it has been mentioned tonight it was 2,300 pages. It sounds a little reminiscent to another bill that maybe they had to pass to find out what was in it. I think if it wasn't for ObamaCare--the Affordable Care Act--and that famous statement that was uttered about having to pass it to find out what is in it, this would be the poster child for that. This would be the poster child for Federal Government overreach. It was an agenda waiting for a crisis to come along.
