mr. cleaver. as you know originally i was thinking about dealing with the question of the subpoena, et cetera, except if you don't mind, i am so focused on out of this money that goes to these too big to fail banks. and trying to understand, number one, not only the fact that g d goldman sachs got $121 million, jpmorgan, $910 million, and that with the rise in interest rates from a 25% to 50%, this will double. this money keeps -- it's going to big banks. it's a subsidy to keep them from lending money and we have this big need that's being discussed by my colleagues about this high unemployment rate. and the lack of creativity and thinking about how we can deal with this and these banks too big to fail who we are fining evidence because of the predatory lentzing shs et cetera, are getting support from the feds. please, please explain that. >> it's an essential tool that we need to adjust the level of short-term interest rates. and from the standpoint of the taxpayer, our payment of those interest

mr. speaker. first of all, i'm a strong supporter of the good work that is represented in h.r. 3700. i congratulate chairman luetkemeyer and chairman -- ranking member cleaver for their hard work on this as well as chairman hensarling and ranking member waters. this bill is an improvement over the status quo. this amendment would extend some of the been fits of h.r. 3700 to folks who live in mobile homes. and that happens to be an awful lot of vermonters who are working real hard making ends meet. the idea of a bricks and sticks house is a dream for them but love the mobile home they have and they have economic challenges staying in that home. that is true in vermont and across rural america. what this amendment would allow is for the section 8 housing vouchers to be used for some of the obvious expenses that are associated with owning a mobile home, mr. speaker. right now, only the land rent is what can be included in the voucher. in addition to that, obviously, you have the true cost of the mobile home that the owner pays for the housing in addition to the land rent. the mobile homeowners pay other costs including utilities, insurance and financing for th
