brownley: rebuttal. pamela harris was able to secure a $26 billion settlement for people who had been mistreated by the banking community, and she was able to bring back to california $18 billion to california out of that $26 billion settlement for the whole country. she brought back $18 billion. yes, we took $400 million of that money and put it towards the general fund in a place where we had to cut to help and support consumers with, wrestling with issues with the banking community and refinancing their house. you know, it's been difficult in the california state budget to balance budgets because we have people who assign the grover -- who have signed the grover norquist pledge and other kinds of things that does not allow for us to have all the tools in the tool box to be able to take a balanced approach. but $18 billion came to california. we passed an important piece of legislation. the homeowners' bill of rights. and my opponent voted against it. strickland: there's no, you know, yeah, okay, $18 b

this will start with julia brownley. following up on economics, with respect to the financial collapse of 2008, where have we made progress to prevent another collapse of a similar magnitude in the future? how vulnerable are we in the foreseeable future to another financial collapse? what would you propose we do in the house of representatives to minimize the chances of another one occurring? >> this question, for me, really defines my candidacy, and it is the center of what i believe our differences are in terms of values and visions for our country. i believe that we have come back in 2008, as you suggested, we faced the worst economic crisis we have ever faced since the great depression. everybody suffered. i believe the actions taken by president obama to have a stimulus program, to create jobs, to hold on to jobs. was the right approach to do. if we are looking forward, i believe we are looking forward to strengthening our economy and the covering our economy. the growth is slow. i believe we are on the right path.
