I thank the chairman for the additional time. Mr. Speaker, it accommodates manufactured home purchases up to $75,000 while maintaining the tough restrictions on lenders to prevent any borrowers from being taken advantage of. Yes, that is right, this preserves those consumer protections. As Members of Congress, we have an obligation to protect the American people from regulations that harm their ability to purchase an affordable home for themselves and their families. We need to end government policies under the guise of consumer protection that are actually protecting Americans right out of homeownership. It is not consumer protection, Mr. Speaker, when you deny people affordable housing. I thank the chairman for his leadership on this issue and I applaud both Democrats and Republicans who support this commonsense solution.
