I thank the gentlewoman. Mr. Chair, again, let's go over the facts. We are getting off base. The Bank doesn't lose taxpayer dollars. It returns money to the Treasury every year, $500 million to $1 billion. We are reforming. This is a Republican reform bill. We should be happy when Democrats want to cross the aisle and support Republican ideas. This is a Republican reform bill. And to the gentleman that makes the argument on this amendment, the aircraft section of the portfolio is over on collateral 1.4 to 1. These are bogus arguments. These are amendments to kill the Bank. This is sad when people put their political scorecards above their constituents. This is about jobs in all of our districts. They are not using the facts. The facts are that this creates lots of jobs at no cost, and we are reforming the Bank. Read the bill. Read the bill, Mr. Chairman, and maybe we would have more than 313 votes next time we vote on this.
