i am pleased that secretary donovan in commissioner stevens are taking a proactive approach to seek bipartisan are working through the process. the same commitment to reach a consensus could not be said for the administration's approach. despite the complete collapse of 2008, the administration barely mentioned the reform of these entities in their budget this year. the time for action is now. the federal government should not be playing this large a role in the nation's housing finance system. we need to determine what the appropriate role is. i look forward to the hearing and the testimony of the witnesses. thank you. >> next, for one minute and 10 seconds, mr. hensarling. >> of all the dumb regulation and legislation that caused our economic crisis, none was dumber than that. the federal government told them, we will make you -- we will let you monopolize the market as long as you securitized and insure mortgages for people who cannot afford to pay them. regardless of the good motives, it is ultimately one of enriched executives, cookbooks, political bullying, a massively insulated housing
