“I would like to add, just one more time, to the critical importance, please. There is a reason why I think Mr. Casten and so many others have been driving this bipartisan legislation, and why the Senior Security Act was bipartisan is for a pretty simple reason. We all recognize that we have to do whatever possible to keep these fraudsters, these hucksters, these snake oil salesmen from scamming our seniors. It is beyond upsetting when you hear these stories of what has happened to our moms, our dads, and so many people in our community who have been, frankly, ripped off by these scam artists. This legislation--not just this amendment, but the legislation--will help protect our seniors; will help protect investors; and with my amendment, will make sure that when people are ready to retire, they have the nest egg they need to not just take care of themselves and have the medicine they need but, of course, buy a gift for their grandkid and make sure they are able to have those resources that they spent their whole lives saving for. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.”
