ROBERT HURT: “The best way that we can help the homeowner in the 5th District of Virginia, my district, and across the country stave…”

If Washington persists in imposing a one-size-fits-all approach, these capital markets and those who depend on them will be adversely affected.

When I travel across Virginia's 5th District, I continue to hear from my constituents that Washington is making it harder, not easier, for them to do business.

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.

I think that those of us who live in rural areas depend disproportionately on community banks.
