mr. stevens and mr.goebel in terms of the value and opportunity that mutual funds have created for working class families that i represent in my district. you know, i have companies like procter & gamble, gillette, where -- and i came out of the iron worker industry myself, the building trade, and i know there are a lot of hard working families out there that at a very low cost are now able to invest and over their working lives accumulate, you know, significant wealth because of the structure and stability of mutual funds. so there's great support here for that. i do want to talk about, you know, most of the controversy here has been focusing on the reserve fund and breaking the buck. and i just know that there's, there's, there's less and less support in this body and in the senate for government guarantees where the good faith and credit of the american taxpayers is at risk. and that's what intrigues me about, mr. goebel, your testimony regarding this buffer for the money market mutual funds as a priv

mr. stevens point about not prudential regulator because that deeply into its structure can't do the job for money market funds. we need to rethink whether it's a good idea to have a free market regulator also been a prudential regulator cared but we cannot lose sight of the fact that money market funds are prudential regulation in the regulator needs to act like one. >> this a definitional squabbles more than anything else. but from where i sit, and makes no sense to designate 642 money market mutual funds are systemically important financial institution and saddle them with federal reserve oversight and capital requirement. if there is a deficiency year, there are reforms needed, they shouldn't be rocket to the designation process. that is my key point. >> thank you all. it sounds as if that designation would take a lot of energy out of our money market fund sector when we desperately need or energy in the marketplace. ideal but the time. thank you, chairman. >> the gentlelady goes back for time. to the gentlelady of colorado. he indicated at the most salient and poignant question of t
