to illustrate the real impact of the job losses we certainly could look at the home foreclosure numbers. nationally foreclosures -- the foreclosure stated rate the homes that are starting to enter the foreclosure process is 1.4% compared to just 1% a year earlier. the foreclosure inventory stands at 3.9% compared to 2.5% a year earlier while 7.2% of mortgages are are delinquent compared to 4% earlier. in texas the inventory of foreclosed mortgages is 1.7% compared to 1.5 the prior quarter and 1.45% for all of the past year. needless to say, these trends are troubling. what is most troubling is the fact that these are not foreclosures due to an unexpected uptick on the adjustable rate mortgage or the result of some subprime mortgage swindle. these problems have for the most part been purged from the financial system. these foreclosure numbers represent homes in trouble or lost due to loss of family income related to loss of a job. we can take away the bank's ability to foreclose or force bankruptcy judges to modify mortgages but these actions ignore the source of the problem. the downward trends in

reaching 10%, thousands haven't lost homes to foreclosure and millions haven't witnessed half their retirement savings disappear. by imposing this national energy tax and creating a massive new bureaucracy to regulate the entire economy this bill will drive up the cost of doing business in america, sending jobs overseas to china and india. nations that flat out refuse to reduce their own carbon emissions. we are told america must lead by example. are we to believe that after the government drives america's economy into the gutter, the rest of the world will do the same? america should not be the first lemming to jump off a cliff because nancy pelosi, al gore and others are convinced china and india will follows over the ledge. republicans have a plan to invest in more energy here yet democrats refuse to allow us a vote on this plan. i urge my colleagues to vote no. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california. mr. waxman: i'm pleased to yield to the gentleman from illinois who made sure in this legislation, among other important cricks, that we looked out for the interests of low-income people. mr. rush, i want to yield a minut

national mortgage association, as that company was placed into government conservatorship. the crisis that devastated fannie mae's liquidity and capital base also threatened millions of american homeowners with foreclosure. new management had to shift the company's focus from maximizing profit and market share to helping hard-pressed american families stay in their homes. as a result fannie mae is the agent for the president's home affordable refinance and modification programs which offer financial relief to millions of americans. members of the committee, the financial stability program is essential to president obama's and secretary geithner's plans for recovery. our economy declined sharply last year, in part because credit stopped flowing. without access to credit, small businesses cannot buy the new equipment, raw materials and inventory that they need to expand. and larger businesses need well-functioning credit markets as they adjust to the changing nature of the global marketplace. if confirmed, i will keep in mind that the financial crisis isn't mainly about banks. it's about alleviating the real hardships americans are facing every day. i will strive to be a prudent investor on behalf of the
