At 3:17 of the video:
“By the end of the year?” – audience member.
“The house will pass it, probably in October.” – Barney Frank
Who else is deaf?

Apparently you failed to read the actual transcript. Next time instead of watching the pretty moving pictures, read an article before leaving a snarky comment which in the end only shows you failed to read and thus are merely an unthinking reactionary.
Moreover, the audio from the clip is garbled and hardly clear.

If you would like people to read the transcript instead or in addition to watching the video, you should actually post a clear link to it in your entry.
After scouring the post for this reference, I finally realized that what you’ve actually done however, is just copy-paste the first bit of a post on the ronpaul site.
Bad form.

Well Bob you see those little parenthesis at the very beginning of the article in all CAPS, that is standard form for reprint in journalism. Additionally how is it necessary to “scour” when at the bottom of the article in bold where it says “source(s): We promise next time to make it a neon flashing graphic for your apparent eye problems. “. Sorry however all of this was over your head. We will try to dumb down our coverage just for you in the future.
