Kit Bond: “You mentioned that you are still confident in the official $5.8 billion estimate or whatever it was that OMB came up…”

I think one of the most critical values that will come of financial reform, if it gets passed, which I strongly encourage, is that without question, no one is carving out the products that you address.

I would humbly suggest that you put more, not less, in the force structure for the Guard, which is a bargain for our military defense.

That number needs to be publicized because that is the greatest prophylactic to let people know if they are going to do it.

It seemed to me that that policy was designed to bail out lenders on their risky investments but did little to save a home with a risky loan for the homeowner.
