there is a study recently released by the university of chicago, university of college of london, george mason university economists which have said that this package of reform bills coming out of the financial services committee will reduce consumer borrowing by at least 2.1% and reduce new jobs by 4.3%. and since the study comes to the conclusion that interest rates will rise by 141 basis points which will yield in the loss of over one million jobs over the next five years. so if we are concerned about job creation why are we moving forward with such a measure? i yield. mr. hoyer: i thank the gentleman for yielding. let me start at the beginning of his statement which was written by lewis carroll who wrote "alice in wonderland," of course, when he said i characterized the stimulus package, which i have not. the c.b.o. said that the recovery act gained us 600,000 to 1.4 million new jobs. so the gentleman likes to do this. he's done it a number of times. said finally we're talking about jobs. as a matter of fact, in february we passed legislation with no help, frankly, from your side which in

. >> george mason university, as long as we are talking about innovation and rethinking policy, i'd liketo get fundamental and point out that the u.s. seems to be the only advanced nation that uses its prime policy debating forum to create detailed operational policy for very critical efforts such as environmental familiarization, and i am aawear this sounds like perhaps a hypothetical question, but i'm wondering if there hasn't been consideration on the fact that all of the bipartisan commissions that have dealt with tricky subjects have usually come out with far more cogent and agreed upon parameters or solutions or understanding than the congressional bills that are piling up with thousands of pages. even if one passes something, how is innovation and change in response to new conditions going to come about with documents that are created in such a laborous and -- laborious and difficult fashion. >> i said later the science advisor to the president is not allowed to have personal opinions. perhaps the topic i'm least allowed to have them is the organization of the united states congre
