it does not violate paygo rules. we are going to have a vote shortly on a point of order on this bill and a vote to support the point of order, plain and simple, says we've spent enough now on our veterans. that's what it says. we've spent enough on our veterans. a vote to support this point of order says despite the fact that we have paid for this bill, despite the fact that one in our four young veterans today are out of work and despite the fact that veterans suicides are outpacing combat deaths, and despite the tact that more and more veterans are coming home today, we're not going to invest in those challenges. it says we've done enough. well, madam president, this point of order puts a price on what we as a country are willing to provide our veterans and says we're not going to do a penny more. it's a point of order that not only will it kill our ability, i would tell my colleagues, to pass this bill, but it will also affect every effort we make to improve the lives of our veterans going forward. in fact, just

the paygo resounded and somebody said his it reagan high. the job line dropped into a shuffle resembling hip-hop if not for the tremendous racket with every muscle strain. taking to the floor below the stage the drum line was the common response. they tried to get their voice is as deep as they could but they stop to fix the sashes of uniform the middle school a little overwhelmed somebody introduced the woman responsible the woman from reagan high anabel garza. rehearing how smart you are, we're here to identify our future readers. and those of you better not coming we hope we can change your mind. one kid called by good. [laughter] xiii. they have seen their middle school both to the same desperate race to make the members. big brothers and sisters going to the middle school closure order now she wanted them to come to the high school for more of the same. she introduced the band, agitated, yearbook and quarterback. as you can tell we have the best looking kids, the most beautiful girls, the most handsome boy is. the drum line takeover. th

. >> through history some things do paygo and president cargo -- president carter talk about the u.s.egypt, throughout the mill east lt. colonel robert maginnis. turn to the obvious question how could any ambassador enter a safe house that was not save with the consulate not protected in one of the most violent and volatile places of the united states? >> we will know but he felt uncomfortable he had friends. they celebrated him as a hero. bet he knew the al qaeda flag was flown over the city. for some reason somebody did not tell him what was brewing. 9/11 was a red flag. they should have known but they failed. lou: if this was the ambassador's choice not to have marines but to have responsibility for his own death that to waste should not be his but a matter of state department, protocol amd requirement. >> absolutely. the marines are there for the very reason. next-door supposedly the ambassador told the marines not to take live ammunition into the yard for the people to get over the fence. that thinking is dumb in this part of the world. think of what could happen anywhere in the

we played games with paygo. we didn't do any oversight. we didn't even have a hearing. there was no hearing on this bill. you took senator burr's suggestions which were commonsense, and applied it broadly across the government. but we didn't match the honor and integrity and valor and purpose. and when i meet with veterans in town hall meetings, i ask them why they serve. you know what they tell me? because this is the greatest country the world has ever known, and they want to keep it that way. what we're doing today doesn't keep it that way. it doesn't keep it that way. it perpetuates the same problems that have created the very, very dangerous situation that this country's in. so when we make a claim that everybody agrees with this bill, i just want to say i don't agree with the bill. there's a whole lot of ways to help veterans that is better than that, that gives them a permanent job. we passed the g.i., the post-9/11 g.i. bill; right? you can get paid a stipend while you go to college to learn a new skill, the same as a noncom officer. you get paid for the books a

it violated paygo.y word -- crap that congress has done for years that says one thing and does another. and so it was a gimmick. we knew it was a gimmick in terms of getting around the spending. it's time for us to start acting responsible. if we want to create another veterans program, we ought to do two or three things. one, we ought to know what's happening to the other job programs, all six of them. there already is a preference for hiring of veterans in this country. number three is if we're going to spend $1 billion, we ought to cut another program to do it. and we didn't do that. what we did is we took ten years of, quote, semi-cuts that aren't real to pay for spending over five years. that's how you get further in debt, not less in debt. >> okay, senator, so we understand the problem with that bill, but what's being done, then, to help veterans coming back? 11% unemployment. twice that for our youngest veterans. what are we doing now today to help veterans get back to work? >> here's what we nee

however to comply with the paygo rules, we manipulate the system again. we include revenue increases, equal the cost of the bill; we do that by requiring a continuous levy on payments to medicare payment providers and s and also by revoking passports in cases of seriously delinquent taxpayers. i hear that's going to be pulled. but nobody knows. nobody has seen it. that's why we have committees, so we don't have to play with things before we have a base bill that we know what we can do on. the bill already violates the budget control act's aloe act'sn for federal affairs funding. it is subject to a 302(f) point of order because it is outside the bound of their appropriations. the bill states a distinct preference for the veteran vetef iraq by stating that these jobs are for veterans who have served since september 11, 2001. as with the veterans caregiver bill in 2009, this is blatant discrimination against other veterans. one class of veterans is better than other class of veterans? tell me how? did somebody that died in the vietnam war less honorable than
