We do not want to go back to the world of 2006 and 2007.

What have you learned from that foreclosure crisis? And how will you ensure we avoid another crisis?

I appreciate that. The next question I have for you is, can you describe what you consider appropriate tribal consultation in this area?

We need an advocate, someone who is going to fight for our tribal communities. We have a system that appears to be broken and we need to fix it.

What do you envision that tribal consultation to look like?

Tara has the experience and the commitment to serve Indian Country.

I believe decisions about me should not be made without me.

We are all here in a bipartisan way to support our tribal communities, to support getting the resources where they need to be.

I never understood why we work so hard, we spend a lot of money to create a cure for acute diseases for individuals to save lives and then we price it out of their hands.

The Forest Service's budget eliminates the Legacy Roads and Trails line item, and counties in Nevada will not have the funds to make these repairs if this is zeroed out.

Can you ensure that numerous individuals, stakeholders, and businesses will have their voices counted during this review process?

I am concerned about the prospect of opening 54,000 acres of U.S. Forest land in Nevada's Ruby Mountains for oil and gas leasing.

Welcome, it is great to see you here.

I represent Nevada, which is within the San Francisco Federal Reserve District. We are one of the most diverse districts in the Nation.

I am very concerned that cost-benefit analysis fails to capture the human and economic cost of massive financial system failure.

I want to make sure that those folks are not discriminated against. I want to make sure that they are not redlined.
