Bill Huizenga

At this time I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlelady from Texas (Ms. Granger).

I, too, would like to reflect the comments of my colleague from Financial Services, as we have. As the son of a disabled World War II veteran myself, I certainly know what that Greatest Generation had done. No matter where they…

I now yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Posey), the sponsor of this great legislation.

So I think there is a lot of concern by a number of us as how we are going to be dealing with these roles.

I am sure you are a very smart man, very well-read, so I assume that you are well aware that in recent months, Federal Reserve Chair Yellen, Governor Tarullo, and others have stated that insurance companies 'have unique business models,' I…

We have to address it, and I think we need to do that legislatively.

H.R. 4318, The Endangered Species Litigation Reasonableness Act, introduced by Rep. Huizenga, would place a cap on attorney fees that can be awarded by the courts.

The purpose of H.R. 4318 is to help make ESA decisions less susceptible to litigation

Most UP residents call for more management and control to curb the negative impacts that a growing wolf population has had

It adds insult to injury to have attorneys profiting with their hard-earned dollars

However, I do not think the Supreme Court was referring to 'whatever the cost' applying to exorbitant, run-away lawyer's fees.

The math isn't adding up.

I have seen some projections that anywhere from a 6 percent to an 8 percent growth rate would need to happen here in the United States for us to take care of what our spending problem has created.

What I am concerned about is when we are using $230 billion, $240 billion to service our long-term debt, how long before we see interest rates go up.

Are we doing anything, though, to then mitigate that--what would be $18.5 trillion in debt instead of $17 trillion in debt for our long term?

So if we had simply doubled our level of stimulus spending, we wouldn't be where we are at?

Central banks that operate independently will deliver better results than those that are dominated by the government.

What has all this spending in QE2 and 3 and Twist and all the others really accomplished?

The logic of saying, if we are not going to come up and replace this Volcker Rule with another rule, somehow we condone bad behavior by somebody else is ridiculous on its face.

I can't help but note that we are the only advanced economy that has adopted this prohibition on proprietary trading.

I am very concerned about that. For those people out there trying to lend, this--these assets, there is a real fear that there is too much of that constriction on there.

QM has really sort of dominated this Qualified Mortgage definition, and I would like to head a little in that direction.

As Congressman Huizenga noted, one of the reasons consumers awarded us the prestigious J.D. Power Award 4 years running is because our affiliated arrangements have led to a smooth closing process.

I disagree with my colleague over there.

Investment in the IMF is probably a better return than the bull market of 2013.
