Quote: "Just think about it. Even if we weren't in the middle of this terrible recession, why would the government ever speculate about killing thousands of jobs in order to centralize the lending process? Not only will a government-controlled direct lending program put people like my constituents in Fishers in the unemployment line, but it will erase consumer choice and competition in lending."
