<p>The reality is that the <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=gop+dailywire&amp;rlz=1C5GCEM_enUS998US998&amp;oq=gop+dailywire&amp;aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3j69i64l3.1604j0j4&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GOP</a> can&#8217;t do much in Congress without full control of the Senate and with a Democratic president. Worse, it seems whenever the Senate GOP does do something that advances legislative action, it&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bad-news-for-americans-bipartisanship-is-back-here-comes-amnesty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bipartisan nonsense</a> that always advances the leftist agenda — they never seem to be able to get Democrats to move to the right.</p>
<p>Yet that doesn&#8217;t mean there aren&#8217;t a few bright spots worth highlighting in the nation&#8217;s capital. Consider freshman Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL), who has had a stellar week, particularly as she grilled federal bank regulators on Wednesday who say that they need more federal power in order to protect the American people from the financial crisis.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Britt scrutinized Federal Vice Chairman Michael Barr during a hearing on the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, asking why they need more power if they haven&#8217;t used all that has been given to them.</span></p>
<p>&#8220;So you&#8217;ve talked about your review, which is ongoing. In that review, will you take a look if you used all of the tools in your toolbox to prevent this both before and after?&#8221; she asked.</p>
<p>Barr claimed that he would like for the formal review to be submitted before answering her inquiry — which is reasonable. Yet it raises the question, the government can&#8217;t confirm or deny it used all of its &#8220;tools&#8221; — why is it asking for more power? The GOP senator narrowed in on that point.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">&#8220;I find it concerning though when you all were asked, &#8216;Would you like to see more powers, more strength?'&#8221; she pressed. &#8220;E</span><span style="font-weight: 400">very single one of you said yes. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">… I think this is what people hate about Washington: we have a crisis and you come in here without knowing whether or not you did your job, and you say you want more.&#8221; </span></p>

<p>It&#8217;s a good question and one that the Democrats don&#8217;t have an answer to. Their knee-jerk reaction is that more government power is always the solution. Now, President Joe Biden is demanding more banking regulations — without even seeing the formal review of what happened to SVB. Thank goodness for folks like Britt who can expose that logic, or lack thereof.</p>
