ROBERT HURT: “Capital formation for small companies is critical to the success of our economy.”

These critical investments allow our small businesses to innovate, expand their operations and create the jobs that our communities desperately need.

I, too, am concerned that the SEC often deviates from its three-part mission.

I think every member of this committee can agree that with millions of Americans out of work, our top focus in Congress should be enacting policies to help spur job creation throughout our country.

This committee has heard time and time again about the unintended consequences and negative impacts on the economy of Dodd-Frank and the Basel III capital requirements.
