the present situation is both fiscally and morally wrong. mr. chairman, many opponents of the health care law are using the announcement as an opportunity to attack the entire law. in the context of those claims, i want to set the record straight on two important subjects. first, with or without class, the health care reform bill continues to be a financially responsible law that will reduce the nation's debt. when we passed that bill, cbo told us it would save $200 billion over the next decade. class was responsible for about $70 billion of that savings. that means even without class, the numbers still add up. the health care law will save taxpayers over $120 billion over the next decade, and more in the decade after that. second, i want to address the myth that the administration announcement somehow hobbles the health care law. it does not. the class program was an important part of the law that provided a new and important long term benefit, but even though the administration has decided not to move guard with this program, the rest of the b

mr. palazzo: it is morally irresponsible to continue trying to balance the budget on the backs of our men and women in uniform. as a nation, our economic and personal security depends on a strong, capable, well equipped and well trained military. so i want to salute all those who have served and all those who are currently serving. thank you for making america safe and exceptional. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the time of the gentleman has expired. the gentleman from illinois. >> mr. speaker, i rise today to give the voiceless victims of domestic violence. i want to tell the story of one woman from my state of illinois who endeared years of abuse and called our state's domestic violence help line for help. in quigley: in her call the woman explained over the years she suffered black eyes, broken and knocked out teeth and broken bones. she said she couldn't take it any more but she couldn't leave because she feared her abuser would find her and kill her. she was so suicidal and said she needed to end it with the pills she had been collecting. luckily this woman reached out for he

moral/cultural issues and second amendment issue. >> schieffer: the final question here. you've also been quite critical of the other frontrunner, mr. romney. if mitt romney or herman cain got the republican nomination, could you support them? >> absolutely. i'd support, you know, anybody in the republican field. i mean, ron paul would give me a little indigestion. i'd have to take some antacids on foreign policy. but other than that, no. i mean, they are far superior in many other ways than this president. i would have no problem supporting them. but there is a better candidate out in field, bob. you're talking to him this morning. >> schieffer: all right. we have to leave it there. thank you so much, senator. thank you so much. >> thank you, bob. >> schieffer: and we'll be back in one minute to talk about condoleezza rice's new book. and that republican race for the presidential nomination.

mr. romney. host: let me ask you one question. he was born in the moral,faith through -- mormon faith through his own family. does that make a difference, the he was born into the faith rather than somebody who converted in the faith? caller: not as far as his ability to believe noncredible points of doctrine. i know many people who were born into various denominations and they really don't think it through, they simply say, you know, this is what my mother to -- or grandmother subscribed to and they do it without any study of the holy scriptures. i have a book in front of me now because i have been in the process of writing lessons on cults and the mormon faith is not the only cult. host: you call it a cult. you say it is a cult and not a faith? stkpwhro tpeubl is a >> michele bachmann is arriving for a town hall meeting. this is part of her campaign tour of new hampshire. this is part of the lakes region tea party. you are watching live coverage on c-span. >> hi there. thank you for taking the time to come out. i am so glad you are here. >> that is one

love your moderator to i'm trying to mr go ahead jeff the idea that you can talk yeah yeah i hear the idea that you can talk in these terms and with no sense of moral obligation and with no memory no historical memory of the difficult periods especially after world war two and rich you're of found itself and so little historical memory about the value of the common market and the idea of throwing nations out when trying when things get rough is it difficult to save greece yeah you bet it's difficult to save greece and maintain it in the eurozone can greece take a substantial haircut yeah i can do do we need a substantial maybe even fifty percent haircut yeah can greece develop have a primary surplus next year the numbers suggest they can of course the debt load is very big and has to be cut. radically but the idea of saying that they're going to cut their currency by fifty percent were two thirds and somehow they'll just bounce back because you guys are going to go visit them and spend money there is just. it's hard for a nice guy and i'm generally very soon. i go usually a very sensitive i miss kind but i do kind of anger and i do it and you on th

mr. lincoln knew that slave labor in illinois would drive down the price of white free labor. you name it, whether it was an economic cause, moral cause, the cause of the war was slavery. grant had the idea that this could be a war of attrition. you know, he coined the phrase total war where you take it to the population. sherman's march to the sea, we're going to destroy the enemy's capacity to resist. so we're making that the idea that he could use his extraordinary powers as commander in chief to destroy the enemy's capacity to make war, free your slaves, okay? so people say, well, the emancipation proclamation freed no one. they knew it was freeing them. frederick douglass had sentinels all through the south telling them, run away now! and grant got the idea, why don't we put them in the army? we now could fight this war of attrition. no end of manpower available as we're marching through the south, we're putting these men in uniform. some of our listeners may have seen the movie "glory" and all that that meant. that was a very interesting period in grant's life. so he becomes president, and he has this, basically, impossibl

mr. stroman clemency from the death penalty. when asked why, he said i was raised by teachers but they raise me with good morals and strong faith. they taught me to put yourself in others' shoes. even if they hurt you, don't take revenge. it will bring something good to you in them. might islamic faith teaches me this, too. someone said this is an act of war and a lot of merits want to do, but he had the courage to do it. i decide that forgiveness was not enough, that what he did was out of ignorance. i decided i had to do something to save the person's life. unfortunately, his efforts were in vain anyway, and he was put to death by the state of texas. but not completely in vain. he was a valid white supremacist who took pride for a long time in what he did. in the end, his actions and trying to get him clemency completely changed his mind. and he said, in the free world i was free but is locked in a prison inside myself because of the hate i carried in my heart there this is really touched my heart what he did. and heart of many others were want to especially for the last 10 years all we have heard about is how evil the islamic

mr. king mentioned, it is that extra teacher time is so fundamental to building that sense of morale and excitement about what the teachers are doing. it's the schools to really invest the time, gathers over the summer, on an early release day, database or teachers or and an part of an experience of helping close the achievement gap and see results on a constant basis. so that's number one. as jennifer mentioned, we also see some interesting models, where schools are staggering schedules here there's a school in new york, brooklyn generation school has an interesting model for 200 day school year, where teachers only work the traditional 180 days, but the students are at school 200 days into the three staggered scheduling students take two times during the year take a four week intensive class with a different set of teachers, which allows them to do this. during this time, teachers have time off and they also have a week of professional development and planning time. for teaching at that school is very sustaining, interesting and engaging experience. so, we are trying to work with schoo

mr. pence: madam speaker, i rise with a grateful heart and thank you for your bipartisan leadership in bringing this legislation to the floor. i believe that ending an innocent life is morally wrong and it is morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars and use it to subsidize abortion or abortion coverage in this country. as it stands today, obamacare requires to pay for abortions and subsidize health care plans that cover abortions. this legislation will correct that profound flaw in this legislation. now, i know president obama issued an executive order during the heat of the legislative battle over obamacare, but we all know executive orders do not carry the force of law and can be overturned by the courts and superseded by statute. obamacare should be repealed. but in the meantime, let's take this moment to say yes to life and repping the values of tens of millions of americans and make right that which was wrong in obamacare itself. let's pass the protect life act and protect taxpayers of pro-life values all across this country and do it now. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from new jersey. mr. pallone: i yield two

mr. jackson: the house of representatives does have a history of passing resolutions that have been privileged in the past on questions that are offensive and morally repugnant to many americans. there was a minister on the south side of chicago, for example, for which this house took up a particular resolution and denounced that minister for language that he used on numerous occasions against minorities in the united states. . and consistent with the language with this resolution that i have offered, the house has taken a position in the past that allows members of congress to express their conscience and their sentiments about the matters that are in front of us. now, as a member of congress and a member of this institution, my final argument is that each one of these presidential candidates, whether they are on the democratic side or republican side stands a chance to stand in front of us and provide us with a state of the union address, a state of our country's fiscal health, its social health, its mental health, its physical health and protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic. if my motion for someone that might stand in front of me a
