Yes. Basically, this notion that there are a lot of people online and in our society who are saying a lot of things, but the gap between the rhetoric and the action, I think, is sort of what I am trying to get at.

I can't help but echo the comments that others have made with how irresponsible the CECL decision feels from the outside.

We need to do more not only to expand our capacity but make it more affordable.

We should be equally disgusted when El Paso happens as Dayton, which are two different ideologies.

I think the independence of FASB generally is a good thing, right? I think, generally speaking, it has been positive.

Today I rise to honor two Summit County deputies who went above and beyond their job description to rescue an elderly couple from a house fire in Green, Ohio. On November 19, 2019, just before 10 p.m., Deputies Chris Boyd and Bill Wandling…

I certainly appreciate the progress, right? But for me, even a dollar is too much for our taxpayers to be contributing to China.

Efforts to reduce the loss of life and property from windstorms is of extreme importance to my family, my friends, and my neighbors.

It is important we continue to support the Federal research done through NWIRP to improve our understanding of windstorms.

Each year, lives are lost, billions are spent recovering from the destruction caused by tornadoes, hurricanes, and windstorms.

I'm a somewhat new father, 19-month-old son, and obviously the flu with respect to our children is something that's near and dear to my heart and many hearts in this room and across the country.

Clearly, these are troubling for any parent, I think the uncertainty maybe more than anything.

Thank you for calling this hearing, and thank you to our panel for all your work.

I think the fear that I have, and I think everybody should have, when we look at this Warren bill, which I think would be a disaster for jobs, and certainly for my community, is the effect that it would have on the real economy.

On November 2, 2019, the communities of Olmsted Falls and Columbia Township of northeast Ohio mourned the loss of firefighter Brett Wilson. Brett was off duty the morning of October 27 when a car struck a nearby utility pole, causing power…

I thank Ranking Member McHenry for his leadership on this issue. Let me start by saying that I fully support the Export-Import Bank and recognize the important role that the Bank plays in supporting businesses and jobs across my district…

Thank you both very much. And I want to share a story.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you all for being here.

Properly focused, I think the Bank does help lift nations out of poverty while building a robust institutional integrity.

How on earth should U.S. taxpayers be subsidizing that?

Yes, because money is fungible, right? And, so, if we are lending at subsidized rates, and yes, these might be noble projects, but that means that China can use other dollars more effectively for their SOEs and to expand whatever their…

My fear is that instead of being focused on this task, the Bank has instead become an important tool for China to expand its ambitions.

I think it is worth additional scrutiny, and I yield back.

We seem to be in agreement that they should. How do we get them to go from here to there?
