We have been begging you guys for a decision to allow haying, because people have to make decisions right now about what they are going to do with their herd.

I wish to make some concluding remarks. No. 1, I share the concerns that Senator Barrasso expressed. I hear from ranch families and I hear from farm families about the unaffordability of their healthcare premiums. I hear about high…

I do not know how things can get worse for our ranchers out there. If they are making it, they are making it day to day right now, and they do not know how they are going to carry this over into the winter.

We need to quit talking about it, and we need to develop strategies that actually achieve the result.

I think the time for talking is over and the time for doing is now.

I want you to come up with solutions to this and cut our small community banks some slack.

I think it is critical that we be aware of what those indicators are and that we work together with the private lending industry.

When you look, many current and former regulators also publicly state that the Volcker rule is way too complicated.

If we do not have a system that is adaptable, if we do not have communication and adaptability, then all of this means nothing.

Do not do things that do not make sense, and if it did not make sense, we are not going to ding you if something happens.

Across-the-board cuts and a shrinking of the overall Federal workforce are not the answer to making the Federal Government more efficient or effective.

I fail to see how we are going to get to 21 percent and still do what I know needs to be done.
