I would like to make one final point on this. I mentioned during my earlier remarks the improvements that the industry has made on its own in this year. And I should also point out, I think Mr. Castle would appreciate the fact, that the Managed Funds Association, which is the funds of the association of the hedge funds, in essence, are in support of this legislation as well. They have indicated the hedge funds are currently subject to numerous regulations already relating to advertising and broad reporting requirements, ERISA and other securities. But they do as well see the benefit to look at both sides of the equation from a balanced approach, both the risk and the potential difficulties as well. So I just wanted to add that to the Record as well.

Do you see a need to benefit the Goldman Sachs CEOs of the world and pay them more than the small, local banks on Main Street where my constituents have to invest their money?
Yes, we have the opportunity today to save capitalism from cronyism. Yes, we have the opportunity to protect the American taxpayer and the American Dream and to preserve free enterprise.
It is hard to imagine anything more unfair and un-American than having the Government financially support mega-corporations at the expense of small businesses and American workers.
For the sake of the American taxpayer and preservation of the free enterprise system, Congress should put the Export-Import Bank out of business.
