I just want to be clear that Mr. Frank and I both voted against the bill that you're talking about, so don't try to make it sound like it's Mr. Frank's and my bill. We voted against the bill. This is Ron Paul's bill. We thought it was a terrible idea then, and we think it's a terrible idea now.

I want to be clear that the reason I would not raise my hand is because I would not make a unilateral decision.
The real problem was that I think because there was this competition to make money for the private sector, there developed a race to the bottom.
Due process cannot be dispensed in 5-minute exchanges of questions and answers, or by politicians...
I don't think you would want either Republicans or Democrats, I don't think either one would want 15, 20 percent of their economy in conservatorship for years and years.
