. >> finally below 10%, but it seems to be languishing in this sort of state of -- it's really so much higher than we're really accustomed to. >> it is much higher than we're accustomed to, and that 9.5% number equates to about 14.6 million people who are out of work. 8.5 million of them lost their jobs as a result of the recession. and what's also scary about that number is it doesn't equate to numerous people who have given up looking for work and who aren't collecting unemployment benefits and who aren't accounted for in the system. so, it's actually an even larger problem than what the numbers show. >> rebecca jarvis, as always, thank you so much. do appreciate it. betty nguyen is at the news desk. let's find out what else is going on in the world. good morning, betty. >> good morning, harry. and good morning to you at home. >>> lines in the shifting sand in afghanistan this morning as the country sets a timeline to take over its own security. cbs news correspondent mandy clark is there with the details. she joins us there live. good morning, mandy. >> reporter: good morning. this

we spent more than $1 trillion to create jobs, but as of yet unemployment rates still languishing over 9.5%. our nation's plagued with debt and not creating a budget further amplifies the problem. mr. speaker, we are spending too much money, even worse, we are spending too much money on programs that do not work and even worse than that, we have no plan to pay any of this money back. and this problem is further compounded by this house's refusal to pass a budget. it's time we cut spending and act real meaningful tax relief and put more money in the hands of the american people. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlelady from pennsylvania rise? >> to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlelady is recognized. mrs. dahlkemper: mr. speaker, most people understand that we have a real tangible need for the safety net of social security and medicare. the hard lessons of history compelled us to create protections for our seniors who deserve security in their

if the money wasn't just sitting there languishing in the stimulus bill, then maybe you could see their point, but relate particularically, the money is there and should be used to offset the extension of unemployment benefits, because one thing that we do know, there is a consequence for borrowing these vast sums of money. and we know that expanding the deficit to the $1.6 trillion that we are going to see this year is ultimately money that is going to have to be borrowed and because that money will have to be borrowed, it could raise the interest rates and subsequently have an effect on inflation. so why not do the sensible thing and spend the money that you have already allocated in the stimulus bill which isn't doing any good anyway, if you need to extend unemployment insurance, that would be the correct place to do it. i have some other points but i yield back and hear your thoughts on that. mr. brady: i would like to follow up on your point on unemployment benefits. the republicans support people down on their luck. there have been extension after extension. our point and our prin

the war in afghanistan was allowed to languish without suv strategy or resources for far too long. so i do commend the president for refocusi our efforts and our strategy. however, none of us should be under any illusion that all of the problems are behind u and in the weeks ahead i look forward to working with you ambassador holebrook and dr. shaw to put in pla safeguards to ensure that the funds we appropriate for programs in afghanistan with the civilian components of the administration strategy are integral to the success of the military and the strabability of the region. we want to make sure that these funds are being used for their intended purposes, reach the intended recipients, i know you are committed to it. this committee is committed to it. we know we have a lot more work to do. thank you for coming today and we look forward to continuing to reach our goal, thank you very much. the committee is ajournded. >> how ironic that you hold this committee today the day after you ted for the $37 blion for the war. it put 95% of our funding into war at the same time. we also nee

approval of pending trade agreements with countries such as colombia, south korea and panama have languished awaiting approval by congress. according to research conducted by our colleagues on the ways and means committee, the inaction of these trade agreements is costing america jobs and market access. in fact, implementing the colombia trade agreement alone could create an estimated eight million u.s. jobs. mr. smith: every day we delay, the more our economy loses to our international competitors. earlier this month, the canada parliament improved their access to this market and putting our producers at even more of a disadvantage. trade is an indispenseable part of american prosperity and congress needs to take decisive action on these trade agreements. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from wisconsin rise? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. kagen: mr. speaker, let us never forget. never forget how we got into this economic mess. it was the losin

letter, putting forth a number of recommendations in the hopes of salvaging the administration's languishing sudan policy. my concerns echo those expressed by six n.g.o.'s calling for secretary clinton and ambassador rice to exercise, quote, personal and sustained leadership on sudan in the face of a stale mated policy and warning u.s. credibility as a mediated. sadly the author's assessment can be applied elsewhere around the world. it seems president obama and the administration as a whole have struggled to find its voice when it comes to the promotion and protection of basic human rights and religious freedom. in these most cherished ideals which are at the heart of the american experiment have been sidelineded by this administration's policy. this is difficult for people who yes or no to freedom and look to america to be their advocates. looking back to sudan in a nation i visited in 1989 and most recently in 2004 when senator brownback and i were the first congressional delegation to go to darfur, i remained concerned that the country is headed to a civil war if the u.s. fails to exert

those are 5,000 additional political prisoners that languish in prison. we got to remember who the castro regime, who they are. this week alone they blame the united states for sinking the south korean ship that killed 46 sailors earlier this year. they blamed the united states. this is the same regime that holds an american hostage, mr. allen gross a. jewish american contractor providing humanitarian aid to cuban jews within that island and nation. this is the same regime that last month fidel castro himself compared israel to nazi germany. and yet some want to give concessions to that regime. some want to help that regime with billions of dollars. let's demand elections and freedom for the cuban people. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlelady from ohio rise? without objection, so ordered. >> thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, today i rise to call on my colleagues and particularly my colleagues in the senate and those republicans to give much needed relief to 15 million out-of-work americans and e
