If I know anything about the Republicans, Republicans are pro-business.

So stop the presses again; we have politics that are entering into this.

But when we want to say, well, the Department of Energy's entire loans program is a broad scandal, political favoritism, pay-to-play.

I think this is easily explained, because Fitch couldn't predict China's illegal dumping and the impact that it has.

What does that mean?

I mean, really. And bottom line, Mr. Silver turned over his Gmail accounts to the Committee, so we have that.

This is about fairness. Our solar industry is getting decimated.

We are losing market share here from people who are subsidizing their exports and crushing our industries.

I'm going to shortly yield and ask unanimous consent that the gentleman from Minnesota would be able to have the balance of the time.

We cannot be unmindful of the fact that we are designing systems here which do pick winners and losers.

I want you to tell me that too; I am interest.

But when you have a centralized government and a centralization of power on business part, you put those two things together, there is a different philosophy at work here.

This is all about centralization of power, literally. We could have a different model, we could be decentralizing power, we could be investing in decentralization of power, get more people involved in manufacturing, let's say…
