I commend you for taking the time now to open up the floor to the other side of the aisle and give to them what they will not give to us. You were giving to them the opportunity to give input to our side of the aisle. And when I say, our side of the aisle, this is not just a partisan issue. This is not just something just for us here in this room or Republicans or what have you. We are really extending a hand to the other side. We are offering them to give input to the American public to explain themselves. Was it an issue of them trying to carve out something for one particular industry in their home State, or was this something even less nefarious than that, simply that they realized that raising the minimum wage can have the harmful impacts that it does?

For the sake of the American taxpayer and preservation of the free enterprise system, Congress should put the Export-Import Bank out of business.
So, if your policies, as Ben Bernanke indicated it does and you are nodding your head as well, benefits the stock market, raises asset prices, who are you benefiting? The rich. Who are you hurting? The poor.
Ex-Im has transformed the role of Government from a disinterested referee that guarantees a free and open marketplace into a biased actor that tilts the scales in favor of its friends and businesses.
Accurate and transparent financial statements are absolutely critical to maintaining investor confidence in our markets.
