to provide a tech logically literal population needed by the industrializing united states in the 20th century. morill's land grant institutions were not only responsive to the united states of the 19th century, their emphasis on science and technology positioned them well for the united states of the 20th century. fourth, the focus on low cost educational opportunities and range of practical fields for the children of the industrial classes not only helped to create the human capital needed to advance the country, it democratized american higher education. in 1860, only 1% of the young people in america between 18 and 24 were enrolled in colleges and universities. a century later it was 30% and today we are pushing 60%. let's access to higher education, which in the 1860s, was largely restricted to the offspring of wealthy and well-positioned families, was now available to the children of the working class farmers, clerks, and mechanics. the american dream of progress in a land of opportunity was made real for millions of first generation college students who attended morill's peoples colleges. for these re

but just the idea that you can get this act passed, essentially giving united states land to people who we weren't paying a lot of attention to before the war started, is remarkable. same congress gets the college act passed. if you live in a state that has more than one public university and the second one is something state, that probably came into existence thanks to the moral land grant college act. it allows for the sale of certain public lands, the revenue of which would fund a public university, specifically or especially for technological. but this congress passed the trons continental railroad act. it would be a private partnership, but essentially, the u.s. congress is going to subsidize the correction of a railroad all the way to the pacific coast. this congress established the department of agriculture, no such thing until this congress. they passed the legal tender act, greenbacks, bills, money that could be recognized as money. we talked about how crazy finances are, north and south, before the war. if you're a bank and want to print your own money, you can do it, whether

the united states breach, this becomes law, will void the nation's release of its original land claimpen the united states to a liability that was valued at $100 million in 1986 dollars. the breach will also open the portion of the nation's original water plains settlement. this settlement is key to the negotiations going on now with salt river projects, the central arizona water conservation district the state of arizona, the maricopa stanfield district and the central arizona irrigation districts. all affecting a very precious commodity in arizona which is water. so at the expense of those liabilities, and that breach -- that wreach could cost not only the state of arizona but the united states taxpayer millions and millions of dollars and loss and settlements that are so vitally needed around the water issues affecting arizona and the west. with that, let me thank the chairman and mr. lujan and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from alaska. mr. young: i can say that this is intha difficult for me because i have a rule about laws that ar

united states? what was popular about the united states. they were always concerned about overpopulation. this is an island nation and it's got a pretty bounded land christmas they were worried of having too many people and that's part of what starts the colonial project in the first place. in the era of 1812 there's a very famous population theorist by the name of thomas malfis and they thought overpopulation was facing england and the war in general and that overpopulation was the cause of human suffering and the cause of starvation and the cause of want. he not only thought britain needed to be careful about overpopulation, but thomas thought the united states' growing population which was such a source of pride was a huge problem because he understood in very direct terms that the growing european-descended population of the united states was encroaching on the land claims of indians and he critiqued american population growth. he said it had to be questioned, quote, in a moral view because he said it would lead to the extermination of indians. so thomas is critiquing the rise of american population basically because he sees that it leads to a

united states including entry by terrorists. from bringing instruments of frism through the international land border of the united states. there are three reasons why this amendment and indeed the underlying bill is important. number one, a sovereign country controls its own borders. we are not doing that here. we need to. number two, we will never solve our overall immigration issue until we can guarantee that we can in some way lower the anger and the rage and the anxiety that's out there. if indeed we can look at our fellow citizens and with a straight face say, we have control of the border, all of a sudden the ability of solving other problems, some of which are easy and some are complex, the ability to do that increases. and third, and most importantly, violence against women. the women who are raped along these trails, whose garments are left on these trees as a trophy to the coyote who raped these women, these women who have no other source to go, they have no one to complain to and no one to ask for pr text, this must stop. the border patrol can stop this practice. right now, what we're doing is simply putting u

land use regimen which everyone is required to comply with. we have an agricultural preserve like no other in the united states, and we're very concerned about the integrity of that agricultural preserve, so it is -- our deire is that everyone who acquires and anyone who acquires land in napa county plays by the same set of rules. >> okay. >> miss tucker, do you have the question i asked mr. gabaldon, what do you think that we should be doing here to make and improve the process of recognition? >> i think that there are some realizations that have to be made. the first one being indian people are not people who are like little -- little pegs that fit in square holes. we have the same results of what happened to us, but it doesn't happen in the same way, and when you've got that kind of situation, what happened in the great lakes is not what happened with my people. what happened in california isn't what happened to my people, so when you're looking at indian people, you have to look at historically where they are, what has happened to create the situation that they are in. in 1947, when we had the first opportunity to voice, it was about a treat

who owns the land in united states? have everybody out there that, this land is your land, this land a s my land you probably wrote it. the land is our land. where does the oil from. outnumbered the land. therefore, we the people own the oil. okay? so then you have exxon mobil saying, we'll drill it for you bill because i can't drill it myself. i say okay guys, give me a fair cut when you find it, all right? sure, bill. they drill and there it goes, texas goad. great stuff. and then they load it on the tanker and send it to china. i don't want my oil going to china. when oil prices here are so high. >> john: you want to punish american companies that are good at refining? >> bill: i still got to pay the $3.50 a gallon here. i want you to be deported, all right? no, but my oil is your oil and i don't want it shipped over to china which raises my price on the oil. why don't you see this? >> john: because they would retaliate. free trade is good, this is a bad idea. to your last point you say that gas stations collude and s

who owns the land in united states? let's have everybody out there that, this land is your land, this land a s my land you probably wrote it. the land is our land. where does the oil from. outnumbered the land. therefore, we the people own the oil. okay? so then you have exxon mobil saying, we'll drill it for you bill because i can't drill it myself. i say okay guys, give me a fair cut when you find it, all right? sure, bill. they drill and there it goes, texas goad. great stuff. and then they load it on the tanker and send it to china. i don't want my oil going to china. when oil prices here are so high. >> john: you want to punish american companies that are good at refining? >> bill: i still got to pay the $3.50 a gallon here. i want you to be deported, all right? no, but my oil is your oil and i don't want it shipped over to china which raises my price on the oil. why don't you see this? >> john: because they would retaliate. free trade is good, this is a bad idea. to your last point you say that gas stations collude

and so a lot of women's role in this war is being seen as advancing the united states' ability to claim land through settlement. you need families to go and live on the land in order to realize the abstract claims the u.s. is making to control that territory. >> how was the u.s. able to muster forces enough to fight this war? was it a popular call? >> the answer is they were not able to muster enough forces in this war. they struggled throughout the war. it's very difficult. >> because the war wasn't popular? >> well, it's also that the american people can make more money staying on their farms or running their own shops and so the military pay was pretty low. the bonuses were pretty low until the last year of the war and then they have more success recruiting more soldiers for the war. the news had just gotten out about what a miserable experience the soldiers were having at the front, that there was a great deal of disease and a great deal of suffering and hunger because the american war effort was so chaotic. and then there were a fair number of defeats so for all of those reasons, it was

land of opportunity. so let's talk about this notion that the united states of america isn't a land of opportunity we thought it was well earlier richard wolfe who wrote occupy the economy challenging capital capitalism join me and i asked him if he agreed with this theory that our society in the society it matters more on who your parents are and how hard you work and here's what he had to say. yes i agree that's becoming worse but you know it's been true here in the united states for quite a while we have a very elaborate myth solid g. about people having all kinds of chances but when you look hard at the statistics you really don't see that you are pretty well constrained in the united states by where you're born and who you're lucky to have as parents or not so lucky but the but stiglitz is right it is getting worse as the gap between rich and poor in the united states keeps widening beyond that we were that we've ever seen before for at least a hundred years yeah it's so interesting i mean i see these new stories and read these articles about people especially you know higher income people in new york c

land. the people of the united states have won. better access to affordable health care and nation's unsustainable health care costs will be controlled and we'll be a stronger and more competitive country. i want to say that i'm proud of the work that the caucus has done to expand not only access but to take our nation closer to health equity and i want to thank all of our partners who work with us who supported us to make this day possible. and to applaud the administration and secretary sebelius for their diligence and commitment to implementing this law. we look forward to working with them to make sure provision that still remain are fully implemented and to work with our state partners to make sure that no state denies any of their citizens the right to medicaid expansion that we provided in this bill. now it's time for those republican colleagues to begin to do the work of the people. to pass job legislation. to pass our transportation and our appropriations bills and take care of the people that we were elected to serve. >>

land of opportunity. so let's talk about this notion that you know in the united states of america it's not the land of opportunity that we thought it was and i only write this all down i've got gerald celente a publisher of the trends journal and the director of the trends research institute good to see you gerald let me just ask you about this theory you know that the american dream is in fact a myth. well it wasn't that one time it is now of course when i was a young man just getting into the workforce the gap between the c.e.o. of the average worker was about twenty to one and now depending on whose data you look at it's about three hundred fifty to four hundred fifty to one you look at now look at the college grads coming out what does about say say fifty three percent of those under twenty five years old with a graduate degree with out of college are either unemployed or working menial jobs i mean these are real hard numbers and they're real hard facts and gerald you're not you're not two hundred years old i mean i think you make a good point in saying that these changes have really happened you know just in

wouldn't deny that in essence what is happening here is that the same company the united states to drill in federal lands or waters would pay a royalty, and in essence, they are paying a royalty. the only thing they are disguising that royalty as a tax? >> i wouldn't agree with that characterization one iota. treasury has -- has worked -- irs has worked for years with companies to figure out the complicated, and they are complicated, i will grant you that, i'm going to say allocations. talking about royalties, talking about taxes, talking about all kinds of fees? we have all kinds of fees as well and trying to come up with a system that works. i think they have done that over years and years and years, but i think if you're not careful, you could -- you could have a lot of unintended consequences. >> well, i'd be happy to get involved in talking about how we tax all u.s. companies foreign income. i think that would be great, but when you -- what you criticized in your testimony that i read is the administration's attempts to force the big five oil companies to play by the current rules that all other u.s

united states. federal, state, private lands. but if you listen to the republicans, they say not enough breaks to exxon mobil. no. no. no. we have to give them more. this poor be leaguered companies. and they are at an 18-year peak in oil production in the united states and you know who is beating them up? wind and solar, geothermal, biomass, plug-in hybrids. very scary things to the republicans, so scary that because they control the speakership and the rules committee, we aren't allowed to debate wind and solar. they are prohibiting it today. a prohibition on the discussion of wind and solar. when i asked for an amendment in place that we could gite to have a national renewable electricity standard setting goals what our country should have in wind and solar by the year 2020? you know what they said? we are gagging you. you can't have that debate on the house floor. you can't raise the words wind and solar and yet they are saying it's all of the above. all of the above that exxon and shell and bp want. and you know with wind an

harrison changed tactics a bit because they hold to the idea that no indian should sell any land to the united states under any circumstances and that is directly opposite him. he has to adopt a number of tactics to try to win the profit over and he is a tool of the british and we have to watch out for him but basically there isn't any real -- there are occasional flare ups and threats of force but you don't have actual combat until 1811 which most stories argue as far as the ohio valley goes the war of 1812 starts in 1811. >> how long was he in this position and when did it presidential aspirations come into effect? >> one of the things i find interesting is his early career, he is in office for about a month. she did not do a lot during his presidential days but his earlier career is more fascinating and he has much greater impact on american society and westward expansion and westward policy. what got me interested in william henry harrison was i started being interested in the shawnee war chief this ended up leaving the confederation of indians fighting against united states and the war of 1812.

cover consent we could get assistance or landing rights from countries like i don't believe saudi arabia would do it but the united states might do that. just remember that the distance from the united arab emirates to northern iran is as far as from israel maybe even longer so. this kind of a landing rights would be helpful only in case of attacking targets in thousand new round another. convert. might to be. might be but again problematic. might be given by a judge which is on the north side of the rain and border they have good relations with israel trouble is that to get from israel to observers and you have to overfly turkey and at the moment i don't see with the current relations between israel and turkey i don't see the turks giving any israel any aid if we look across the border at syria why is serious so important for western nations could it be that it's the last obstacle before any invasion of iran that is a tough one why syria is important. is it important. to the west and the state i don't see any western country in the intervening in syria as they did in the if there is so much attention and focus on syria

unit of gold and earlier silver, as required by article 1 section 8 of the united states constitution, the supreme law of the land, congress would again establish by statute after due deliberation the sustainable gold value of the dollar, that is to say the convertibility points of the dollar to gold. third, by international gold standard is it meant that gold, not paper dollars nor any other currency nor the special drawing rights of the international monetary fund, so-called sdrs, only gold would be the primary means by which nations settle their residual balance of payment deficit in order to rebalance world trade as it has not been since 1914. the gold monetary standard was proven in the only laboratory available to human beings, the laboratory of 3,000 years of human history. the gold standard was universally accepted money. it is the necessary remedy for the defect of unstable floating depreciating, manipulated central bank paper currencies of today. it is the primary cause of today's currency wars and of systemic inflation and deflation. indeed, the federal reserve system, america's central bank is the hea

the health care reform law stays in full -- fully remains the law of the land in the united states. kate baldwin has been watching all of this unfold. kate, you're outside the supreme court. give us some more on what was going on inside the supreme court. >> reporter: what was going on inside the supreme court is the chief justice, he announced the ruling and began reading part, a summary, really, of the opinion, the majority of opinion of the court. and that has been happening. and of course, we then quickly got word from my colleague, bill mears, who is inside on the press office, receiving this ruling as soon as it came down, to read it back to me. >> hold on a second, kate, hold on. tom harkin, the democratic senator is standing in front of the u.s. supreme court. the senator from iowa, i want to hear what he's saying. never mind, we got that audio coming from the rally. you see some senators there with tom harkin. kate, sorry i interrupted. but go ahead and pick up your authority. >> not a problem at all. as you and our colleagues have been skus idiscussing, there wa confusion
