I don't think we have mentioned that, but I do think it is important to keep that in mind as we debate what is happening in our markets.

Thank you, Mr. Gonzalez.

I do think it is important that we take a step back and recognize that whether we are talking about the crypto or NFT markets or SPACs, the proliferation of riskier investments has been driven by a zero-interest-rate world

over the last year we have seen significant changes in the way that retail investors of all stripes are engaged in our capital market system

I completely agree. You also correctly point out that having multiple avenues to go public is a good thing from a competitive standpoint.

I think that is another area where I think from a disclosure standpoint we probably need to do a little bit better work.

The good news is I do think we have found one area where there is bipartisan agreement with respect to the need to modernize our grid.

I am skeptical that the World Bank and the IMF are equipped to do that, only because my impression... is that China in many ways has blocked any attempt at getting the transparency that we want.

I also want to thank Ranking Member McHenry, ranking member of the full Financial Services Committee, for putting his trust in me to lead on this task force.

I believe these discussions are important to have.

I believe that this committee, and particularly this task force, should embrace this innovation and continue to consider ways that Congress can provide helpful clarity to industry without stifling innovation.

Technology can help to not only propel forward our advancements in the financial services industry, but can also foster further inclusion and opportunities to our unbanked and underbanked communities.

Thank you, Chairman Foster. First of all, I want to say how pleased I am to work with you as I take on the role of ranking member of this important task force.

Thank you, Chairwoman Stevens and Ranking Member Waltz, for holding this timely hearing today to continue our discussion about the important role that NSF plays in our research economy.

I think with this we should not make that mistake again when we have misguided policies that incentivize jobs overseas, in China, but we are not getting the ROI here in the United States.

My fear, as always, is that there is a growing consensus on the other side of the aisle that rapid technological changes are becoming so disruptive and renewable energy is so cheap that there is no economic risk in accelerating or even…

If you look at Germany as an example, instead of using market incentives to establish a viable and cost-effective introduction of renewables, they deployed massive subsidies to wind and solar technologies that increased household energy…

This bill is poorly timed for sure and also pretends that tradeoffs that are natural to the economic environment no longer hold.

We are playing with fire if we are going to gamble our fiscal future on the assumption that interest rates will never rise again.

There is no free lunch. The taxes will affect the economy.

Online child exploitation is one of the worst issues facing our society.

the way that I have come into the climate debate is by focusing a lot on Lake Erie, which is right in my backyard

One thing I like about the Science Committee is we actually talk about facts, unlike the narratives that I see coming out on social media.

This hearing is supposed to be about GameStop and Robinhood, and I thought it was supposed to be about preventing a halt in trading that we saw that day.

I am in the T+1 camp.
