maloney's motion. in that sanderson example that i gave earlier, households up until recently have been spending $700 a year on flood insurance annually, even if there hasn't been a flood in 4 1/2 decades. we can save a lot of people a lot of money if we just make sure that these dams are built well, that they're maintained well and that they serve their function not only now but in the foreseeable future. so with that, madam speaker, again i thank mr. maloney for bringing this issue to the attention of the membership of the congress and again i rise in support of his motion to instruct. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized. the gentleman from pennsylvania continues to reserve. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. maloney: madam speaker, in my opening remarks i also should have mentioned the chair of the subcommittee, mr. gibbs. i'd like to thank him, in addition to the chairman and th

joining the table now, congresswoman carolyn maloney, democrat of new york.irector of the new york city coalition against hunger. maya wiley, and still with with us, republican consultant, katon dawson. so congressman, let me ask you this, why is it politically, strategically beneficial for any of your colleagues to lead the charge against food stamps? >> well, you've got to put it in perspective. this is the same team that closed the government for 16 days, that cost the economy, by some economist measures, $24 billion. this was a self-inflicted wound. so they put this pain on the public and then they're causing more pain by not continuing the recovery money, the $5 billion, that is so desperately needed. this past week, i went to two of the centers in the district that i represent, and when you see the faces of the children and the adults, many people are working, but they're on minimum wage. they need this supplement for their families. many of them are looking for jobs. economists tell us, for every job opening, there are three people waiting in line, and

and we have susan maloney and we have senior fellow at the foundation for the defense of democracy, alsofficer. thanks so much to all of you for coming in. we just heard from the spokesperson from israel. not rulie ining out a strike ove six months of this interim deal. listen to what prime minister netanyahu said earlier this morning. >> what was concluded in geneva last night is not historic agreement. it's an historic mistake. it's not made the world a safer place. like the agreement with north korea in 2005, this agreement has made the world a much more dangerous place. >> is he right? is the world now a much more dangerous place because of this agreement? >> i would disagree. this is not a moment for euphoria but a moment for cautious optimism. iranians put their foot on the nuclear brakes. the regime remains intact. there's a difference between what's ideal and what's viable and i think what netanyahu was calling for and what he hoped for was not really viable. >> what do you think? >> i think we're definitely in worst shape. i think the most important gathering last week was not i

maloney's question of high-cost areas as you point out if we don't act. we are going to see a job and this is a great country it varies from one to another. there are a lot of areas for $297,000 to buy the biggest home in town. i would like for the record these loans between 625 to 729 hazara understand they perform well and they have a low rate of default and they are not considered to be a weak part of your book of business. is that correct? >> it's a very small amount that are up to the higher loan limits the district in carolyn maloney's district and while it's hard to calculate you are making money on this 2% as i understand is that correct? >> as far as i know today, yes. >> so we can increase government costs and cause a spectacular decline in home values in high-cost areas by allowing the current limit to expire. i would hope if congress wants to bring its approval rating above its current levels that we would instead authorized you to continue your program for high-cost areas. as to reverse mortgages, you indicated that it's not a significant str

former chairman maloney. >> thank you, mr. chairman and vice chairwoman. it's a particular pleasure for me to welcome chairman furman as he is from the city that i'm privileged to represent. i can say unequivocally new yorkers are very proud of you and the role you've played not only in this position but in other positions in the administration to assist president obama in the economic recovery, which has led to 44 straight months of private sector job growth, the gdp has grown for ten straight quarters, and housing is rebounding. the economic recovery is showing resilience in strength, even though businesses and individuals have faced unnecessary uncertainty and harm because of the government shutdown. that fight that really hurt consumer confidence, reuters is saying it's one of the lowest points it's ever been. i'd like you to comment on this self-inflicted damage. how much do you think it cost our economy, and what other factors could slow and hold back our recovery? but it was interesting in your testimony that you pointed out that even with these man

maloney: mr. speaker, we all know about black friday and cybermonday, but i am proud to support giving tuesday. a national day dedicated to charitable giving and volunteerism. on december 3, giving tuesday will harness the collective power of charities, families, businesses, and individuals to transform how people think about, talk about, and participate in the giving season. launched by the 92nd street y in new york city in the district that i'm privileged to represent last year, giving tuesday inspires americans to take action to improve their local communities and strengthen our country. thousands of partners in all 50 states are joining in this national movement of individuals and organizations that believe that everyone, whether you are a large donor or individual volunteer, has a role in helping to solve the challenges our communities face every day. americans are the most charitable people in the world, and giving tuesday is a day for us as a nation to celebrate our spirit of generosity. i

maloney for five minutes. >> thank you brank and member for this hearing. as my former senator patrick moynihan used to say everyone is entitled to their own opinion but not their own fact the fha has succeeded in meeting its mission to strengthen the insurance fund and reduce its role as the housing market continues to recover so i want to complicate you, commissioner and your staff for your hard work. i want to point out that there were unexpected losses associated with the worst years of the housing crisis and a hit harder than any other sector in our economy and while 1.68 billion mandatory appropriation was recently requested to ensure that at the end of the fiscal year 2013 the mutual mortgage insurance fund has sufficient funds to the capitol reserve account to pay for its expected future losses, these accounting projections are based on the data from the fall of 2012. it's not a bailout as the commissioner pointed out and it's not a reflection of the ability to pay claims on the outstanding loans insured by the mandatory fund but the appropriations

maloney. >> thank you. i'd like to thank all of the panelists for their public service and thank the chairman and the ranking member for this oversight hearing. there is a success story in the state that i'm privileged to represent, new york state. nearly 50,000 new yorkers have enrolled in health insurance plans through the new york state health program. almost 200,000 new yorkers have completed full applications on he new york state. the customer service operators have provided assistance to more than 142,000 new yorkers. and the rates for the plans represent a 53% reduction compared to the previous year's individual rates. and in addition to the cost savings, it's estimated that nearly 3/4 of individual enrollees will qualify for financial assistance. this is according to an official state report from new york. so this is certainly good news, but we do need improvements on the federal user experience. and i'd like to ask mr. park, have improvements been made daily on the website? are you working to make
