The fdic has the history in being able to do that. Clearly were in far better shape than we were. Of all the economies around the world the one thats doing the best is ours. It wasnt a miracle. It was because of hard work that we put in place here that allowed us to arent there unintended consequences such as the issues of market liquidity, for example . I do want to comment on one aspect of hansling. I was amazed to read i wish i had his ability to say ridiculous thing and be unphased by the potential reaction. He complained nothing has been done since the bill passed about fanny may and freddie mack. The man has been in control of the house of representatives. Hes chairman over the committee that has jurisdiction. Its the great republican myth. The republicans controlled the congress from 1995 to 2006 and did nothing about fanny may and freddie mac. We would have if we retained control worked on it in 2011. The republicans have been in control of the congress and the house certainly

Today about president trumps first 100 days. And i would suggest that yes, the Supreme Court is a big deal. But the things that the chairman is working on right now potentially have the longest impact of anything coming out of this administration. That is definitely doable. So i have been at Freedom Works for 12 years. And 12 years ago, when i started this was one of the first issues we worked on. And last year i was very nervous that we were going in the wrong direction. President obama passed new regulations on the internet that i feared was primly stop innovation. Particularly 15 billion devices connected to the internet. That number is gonna go up to 50. So obviously well get into a whole new level of change. And we can either try and regulate that change or we can let the market develop. So we are encouraged to hear that chairman ajit pai, the announcements you will be making today. Well be looking at opening up the internet for development and in a way that will increase competit
And that is what brought us here. Not that time there was a puerto rico referendum that shows since march that year. That is the problem. Not allow the government to play games.

None of the oil profits benefit the people. They are going to the regime. They are being used to buy support. They are being used to buy the weapons of oppression. They are being used to kill venezuelan and true owners of the resources at backcountry the regime is using for a salve. So, i dont see the oil profits going to the people. I do believe that there ar
I want to welcome you to the subcommittee. I appreciate the commissioners appearing to offer their testimony today. And we appreciate that we have been able to hear from you in advance of this hearing. Beencc has not reauthorized since 1990 and its current appropriation is 430 million. It is charged with the administration of Communications Act. Reexamine the Core Functions and restore a culture of humility that was lacking under the regulatory class left by chairman wheeler. The fcc plays a vital role in our increasingly Technology Dependent society. The subcommittee has released a draft for consideration. I would be remiss by not discussing Net Neutrality. The commissions decision to classify the internet as a public utility was a power grab laced with the irony of suffocating the most innovative part of our economy with in 1930s era law. This gave new meaning to the term progressive. Reply comments to the commissions are due august 18. We hope you are keeping that wed whacker handy.
