                           WALL STREET REFORM

  (Mr. SCHAUER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SCHAUER. Every day that Republican Senators block Wall Street 
reform, another day goes by that our Nation's middle class and our 
Nation's economy are at risk. Heads I win, tails you lose; I'm sure you 
remember that game.
  Well, those are the same rules that Goldman Sachs rigged up to 
routinely bet against its own customers. Heads they won, tails their 
customers and the American people lost. And AIG, who the taxpayers 
bailed out, was a full partner in this fraud.
  My constituents are angry. They want their money back. They want 
commonsense protections that will end too big to fail and make sure 
they never get stuck with the tab again. The House has already acted to 
protect hardworking middle-class families from the abuses of Wall 
Street. It is time for the Senate to do the same.
