one of the things that struck me, a commonality among much of this whether it's fannie or freddie or whether it's medicare or many of the, crop insurance it's all hidden subsidies to chris worked on budget issues a lot and there's lots of stuff that really outraged you about what's on budget. it seems to me some of the worst of these, what we call contingent liabilities by their essentially hidden, so let me ask you is it the corruption particularly worst with this element of budgetary secrecy to? >> i would say some. i would say, the extent to which their hidden is extraordinary. >> i remember when everybody kept telling me gse has never failed. we've all told these things would be great and i'm sure that's true -- >> the case of thinning and freddie, one of the problems there was they weren't keeping honest books. there was no discovery. but i give you an example of just how difficult a lot of these issues get is that tom cotton who of course is a new senator from arkansas voted last year against the farm bill. he was the only member of the arkansas delegation to do this. early in

finney freddie ag the tarpon -- tarpans the autos. so bush's president in 2008 he chose with nancy pelosi to see the economy is going into the tank we need a stimulus in they said okay. on the one hand it would be better:would be worse for government so they worked with him on that. when obama call will last he did not ask for a stimulus because we had done focus groups. where europe gather people to try things out on them but people don't have firm opinions because they are airheads. [laughter] if you would get the focus groups in october of the undecided people will do is a decided between obama or mccain or nick cave or bush? maybe a few people but those guys don't know anything. [laughter] of focus groups reported stimulus was a bad word with negative connotation so that is why it was called the economic recovery act that recovery was more attractive than stimulus. in vice period's most people would rather be stimulative then recover. it was overruled.

three week or operate with him on fannie freddie, the t.a.r.p. and they are those. people see what happened to bipartisanship? bush is president and in 2008 he it comes to harry reid and nancy pelosi to bury partisan and able people. he said the economy is going in into the tank. they said let's work one out. it would have been worse for government so they worked with him on that. a year later when obama asks obama did not ask for a stimulus because we had done focus groups. you know what a focus group is. together people who don't have firm opinions. the problem with that is very often people don't have firm opinions. if you look at the focus groups in october of an election-year only in the sighted people in october can be in a focus group. who is undecided between obama mccain or bush and gore or bush and kerry. maybe if you have three of this or for bad. anyway the focus groups reported that stimulus was a bad word. the negative connotations of that is why it was called the economic recovery act. my leadership decided recovery was a more attractive thing. i said

en freddie. i want to go back to an economic story in the university of maryland, john joseph wallace has written a lot on corruption predicate only at the state level in the 1800s. you talk about this in the book. and of course especially in this era of greed default and we remember in the 1820s 30s and 40s of the state level default so one of the things professor wallace identifies in his work is entry barriers. to me whatever you think about fannie and freddie, there are lots of arguments about the financial crisis, one of the merits of that chapter is this is not about city versus fannie it is about here are specific institutions that got privileges no one else got just like the united states but what professor wallace argues in his work is you have all these state-chartered institutions where legislators were handing out charters in what he saw as the really big change above the 1840s and 50s, the creation of general corp. laws so anyone who wanted to start a bank or corporation didn't have

i briefly want to tie fannie mae and freddie mac into the story.y had unsafe and unsound financial practices with an unprecedented lobbying operation to protect investors and pad bonuses of executives. and for and for those who study the subject fannie and freddie are government-sponsored entities not part of the government but instrumentalities private corporations the public charters. my book starts by discussing the corruption inherent to the 1st two the 1st and 2nd banks of the united states, the states, the experience with the bank, the 2nd in particular eerily similar to the experience of fannie mae and freddie mac. normally when we think about the 2nd bank we are want to think of nicholas biddle who was a very farsighted financier. if we. everything beyond him we tend to think of the bank were andrew jackson comes across as much worse. but that is as far as the common understanding usually goes. it overlooks something which is that the bank have been in place for about a decade before bilking on board and was terribly politicized and self-in

[applause] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible] first of all let me say how much i really enjoyed the book. obviously some of the issues dealing with finance or close to my own heart having spent my time on the hill trying to work on financial issues. but also my dissertation work was on radio two areas during the progressive era. i found that chapter to be very much adventuress. the subtitle of the book is sort of device at the government and i think it really is the book less about the size of government than about the structure of government. in fact, if you read this book and immediately read marxist historian classic tribal conservatism you'd be hard-pressed to find a difference on the errors. i would suggest a site of a government that title might be off putting some of my friends on the left this is a book at anyone in the political spectrum would enjoy. it's a great introduction to the history. some of my critiques would be again this will reflect my biases as an economist. t

i want to talk to you about fannie and freddie. since fannie and freddie went into receivership, they borrowed $87.5 billion from the taxpayers. very difficult, very risky. but since that time they paid back $225.5 billion. that's about a $40 billion profit give or take 20% rate of return. could you tell me what you've done with the $40 billion you've gotten back beyond what the taxpayers lent? secretary lew: congressman, as you know, it is -- it becomes part of federal receipts and general fund. mr. capuano: that goes in the general fund and we congress and you the administration, the normal course -- we can spend it any way we want? secretary lew: as a practical matter, it's part of what's helped us reduce our overall -- mr. capuano: i think the other side has a problem with more receipts. i get that. it's come to the general fund for all intents and purposes and spent it on whatever we wanted. that's not the issue. that's a different debate. but that $40 billion, that's only the beginning. what has fannie and freddie been allowe

the purpose of the guarantee fee is to offset fannie mae and freddie mac credit from defaults. if you use the guarantee fees to offset new spending, you are doubling the revenue. in december of 2011, congress passed a two-month extension of the payroll tax cut that was offset by increasing the gp's for 10 years. this was simply a tax increase on folks in the united states who pay mortgages to justify congressional spending. additional attempts were made to use the extension to cut offsets in other legislation. directing the guarantee fees to the treasury department rather than protecting taxpayers from mortgage losses was used because it technically brings in a new source of revenue. any increase of guarantee fees should be used to protect taxpayers from mortgage losses and as a repayment for the bailout, not for a gimmicky offset. that's why i'm offering the scorekeeping amendment with senators warner, corker, and markley, to ensure that transfers from fannie mae and freddie mac will not be used to offset increases to the deficit. it is one, a congressional mandated can only b
