This… this jackass is what Pelosi and the Democrats consider a competent chair of financial services.
Bigger question: how incompetent is the committee’s staff?
I mean, one of them must’a written this question for ‘er.

(What? *heh* Yeah, I’ll bet they write a heckuva Five-Year Plan)

stuff that’s hard to do (Falcon Heavy nails a triple landing)

Today was a heckuva twofer!

A launch is not very interesting, if you already know it was successful,
so this time we’ll just concentrate on these nail-biting landings

And whaddaya mean WE, Kemosabe?

If we allow farmers to earn a profit in what they grow, if we allow them to contribute their fair share in combating Climate Change by growing cover crops, allowing the technologies that invest in precision tilling and farming, capturing more of that carbon out of the air is another way in which they can make a profit. Keep those farms together, pass them on to the next generation, and allow them to provide us our food and national security, our independence from the rest of the world, our ability to provide for the rest of the world.
