Steve Russell: “We can't fix everything, Mr. Chairman, but we can fix $16 fees that add up to millions of dollars that could educate…”

I cannot be one of those today. I just cannot. There will be follow-on testimony that we will hear from our colleagues, and I respect that. But quitting is going to have disastrous effects.

We are not going to see reform in saving or realize anything close to that by eliminating Mrs. Russell's ability to go buy a can of beans in the commissary.

I cannot imagine any scenario where the formulation of a militia or ideas along these lines would be a good thing.

We can do better. We look forward to working with the Committee in making that a reality.
