Answer. All the opposite side has to do is to stop supporting a bill that would allow the biggest banks in america to rip off the people one more time. We bailed out the richest banks in america with the peoples money. The people do not want that anymore. And so this provision thats in the bill that would allow them to basically put us all at risk because they want to trade these derivatives and be protected with fdic cannot go on. And so there are a lot of other things in this bill thats unacceptable. I am the Ranking Member of the Financial Services committee and i worked on doddfrank. Theyre trying to undermine doddfrank. Theyve been trying to get rid of doddfrank piece by piece. We have to fight it every day. I am not going to let the people down. Democrats are not going to let the people down. Were not going to vote for anything thats going to give the store to the biggest banks in america one more time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleladys time has expired. The gentleman from kentucky the gentlelady from new york. Mrs. Lowey mr. Speaker, im very pleased to yield one minute to the distinguished minority whip, mr. Hoyer of maryland. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from maryland, the minority whip, is recognized for one minute. Mr. Hoyer thank you, mr. Speaker. Ever aker, and members, since the conference report was reported out, leader pelosi and i have told everyone how objectionable the two provisions that have been discussed are on our side of the aisle. We think they should not be in an appropriation bill. We think that they should be considered on their merits or demerits. Unfortunately they are on the bill. I rise in support of the bill. Notwithstanding, i have vigorous objection to these provisions. I rise because i frankly think that pursuing c. R. s, continuing resolutions, on a continuing basis is harmful to our economy, harmful to the growth in jobs, harmful to our National Security and i regret, i regret that the Homeland Security bill has not been included for a year as well. We undermined National Security by that limitation. But nevertheless in a world of alternatives i have concluded that it is better for us to cromnibus as it is referred to than it is to defeat it. So i urge my members to vote for this cromnibus tonight. And i yield back the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. The gentlelady from new york. Mrs. Lowey mr. Speaker, may i ask how much time is remaining . The speaker pro tempore the gentlelady from new york has three minutes remaining. And the gentleman from kentucky as four minutes remaining. Mrs. Lowey mr. Speaker, i am very pleased to yield one minute to mr. Farr, the gentleman from california, a distinguished Ranking Member of the committee. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from california is recognized for one minute. Mr. Farr thank you very much and thank you for yielding. I want to thank mr. Rogers, the chair of the committee, for bringing a bill to the floor. I wish it was the full bill. And not most of the bill. But i also want to the world to note that even though theres some poison pills in this issue, there are is a very progressive appropriations bill. And it shows that when you do reach compromise, and i hope that the party that will be in the majority next year will understand that we wanted to do a full process, we wanted to be vetted, we dont want poison pills, but in the end get the bad language out, which you did, and you can have a bill that has bipartisan support. We dont want things to get worse in this country. We want it to get better. A c. R. Would be the worst thing that could happen. But also as a body that believes in exposure and the publics right to know, we should never allow these poison pills to be in this bill. Hold your nose and make this a better world. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentlelady from new york. Mrs. Lowey mr. Speaker, im very pleased to yield 30 seconds to the distinguished gentleman from texas, mr. Doggett. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from texas is recognized for 30 seconds. Mr. Doggett mr. Speaker, this bill puts a big bow on a holiday gift for the wall street contributors who get special treatment in the provisions of this bill. Once again here in the holiday season, its all about stuffing the silk stockings. And these people want to gamble with our money. When these big banks win, they get to keep all the money. But when they lose, they look to the taxpayer to bail them out. It was wrong to do so before and this bill removes key reforms that are vital to preserving our Financial System and our economic security. We ought not to yield to the big bank contributors who at the same time this same bill frees up additional money for individuals to pour into the campaign that pollute our democracy. I yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentlelady from new york. Mrs. Lowey thank you, mr. Speaker. Our most important responsible is to responsibility is to Fund Government corporations.
