those costs. we're thinking about rate stability as you've seen there in their presentation the the especially the first year that rate increases very high. and so this is really forcing us to look at what kind of cuts are deferrals we can make to either you know reduce the rates or smooth out the rates over the long term. but and we're also thinking about mitigating projection risk. >> so we don't want a situation where we're in now where we're looking to make up rates in the falling rate cycle. and then the last thing is really transparency and this is not just from a process standpoint but also from monitoring. so we're looking at mechanisms to help us monitor expenditures, making sure we have the right reporting requirements as well makes making sure those service level agreements are memorialized. so just kind of looking at kind of confirming what a lot of recology has presented in terms of their rate proposal. as you can see the first two years the rates were pretty flat. that second year ra

lower costs. while consumers struggle to keep up with products, the biden administration consistently hampered innovation by imposing unnecessary and duplicative resolutions on manufacturers. this will enable the trump administration to safeguard consumer choice and lower costs. i thank the gentleman from georgia, mr. clyde, the 9th district of georgia for leading this legislation and i urge my colleagues to join me in supporting h.j.res. 42. and we are going to miss our good friend from texas. i just got to know him in the last 24 hours and i missed a lot by not knowing him longer. i urge support of this resolution and i thank you and yield back. mr.griffith: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. pallone: do you have additional speakers? mr.griffith: i do. mr. pallone: i yield myself such time as i may consume. i just wanted to clarify some of the comments that we are hearing today from the other side. my colleagues across the aisle said at one point

you said you'd bring down costs on day one, donald trump. yet here, one month in you're doing something that would raise costs significantly for the american people. and when republicans cut medicaid, it means health care costs will go soaring for tens of millions of kids, seniors with is disabilities. why are republicans doing this? why are they creating all this havoc, this cruelty and this harm to the american people? simple. to cut taxes for billionaires and have the american people pick up the tab. make no mistake about it, this is what a transfer of wealth looks like. a way from working americans and into the bank accounts of the billionaire club. meanwhile it's not much better in terms of foreign policy and our own security. our allies across the world will look at america and see a country in decline under donald trump. they will watch in horror an american president continue to curry favors with war criminals like vladimir putin, while publicly berating friends, brave, valiant people who have risked their lives and have seen he so m

almost 37% of their litigation costs. their liability insurance premiums have gone up 235% since 2018. their average cost for negligent security lawsuit in georgia is five times higher than in florida. nine times higher than in texas. twenty-one times higher than south carolina 27 times the average cost with a similar lawsuit in alabama. when we talk about how to continue george's success as a top state for business for the next 11 years, and how to keep our states best and brightest days ahead it starts right here. stories like a waffle house, stores like the small-town smaln grocers and childcare facilities. the mom and pop to make the community special. healthcare providers who are there for us when we need them the most. without them our state is not the same and george it will never walk to its full potential. when she was the coming days will be comprehensive but fair. in georgia what we believe those who do wrong should be held accountable. if you have been wrong you deserve justice but also believe the legislation

low cost. i know as we use this city, a limited side is trying to make this shift by phasing out that these is on onto the excess and replacing them with these electric ones. but what's in it for these drive us? let's go around town with one and find out photo to extra driver. so now i'm seeing the color blue represents an important shift away from the black and yellow office . old diesel, vic show the suff ma'am, was among the early adopters of an electric authentic shop as part of the city of its source trade in scheme. he gave up his baltic shots for years simple. and the only reason why it was 22 years old and used up a lot of fuel and cost a fortune to maintain. then what i think. so when i found out about the he trade in the scheme, i went to the agency and discovered that i could receive a subsidy for this either extra people making the step has been a real blessing because they do have the auto guarding the day. but a bounce probably sold it on his scheme, drivers for offered up to 70 p

theying north rising cost -- theying north rising cost -- they ignore the rising costs. it is so bad that even members of their own caucus are breaking ranks to vote for commonsense reforms such as the rolling back these radical anti-energy agenda items that the biden administration foisted upon us in the is 1th hour of their administration and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from colorado is recognized. mr. neguse: i thank the speaker. it feels like i'm living in the twilight zone. again, i understand the gentleman from new york very much wants to spend a half hour debating labeling requirements for pool heaters. i get it. it's important to you. it's not important to me. not important to the people that i represent. in the five minutes that you just spent describing the reasons for this bill in your view, the stock market has continued to go down. more corporations have announced that they'll be increasing prices later this week because of president trump's tariffs. i don't understand how you b

they care about inflation, rising costs. in a new npr pbs marist poll ahead of tonight's speech, americans are split on the administration's efforts.

we need to factor uncertain and rapidly increasing cost for cost of guantanamo bay.migrant center or moc at guantanamo bay and range of cost and impact overall budget everything from medical care and sanitation for migrants as well as expenses and personnel to gitmo. increasing gitmo's capacity by the president's directive. >> i'm waiting for further direction. at the initial point we have a cost estimate of what it would take for 30,000. >> we don't know, we will work with dhs, 30,000 unless we know the migrant flow will come, we are waiting at this point. >> well, as that process, planning process, can you get me those data. >> yes, sir, and i will work with osd. >> the fiscal year, project for mass migration, 13,000 migrants and cost $33 million in fy17 just as a comparison. in addition, to pursuing the cost in 2019 the commander of detention ops cost more than a hundred thousand dollars and as you're going personnel cost associated with effort even for the first 2500? >> no, we do not. i can say the cost of running gitmo at this point, just the facility over the

so this total cost under these findings works out to a per capita costs to californians of $7,074 annually. this report pegs a combined federal, state and local costs nationwide associated with illegal immigration at $182 billion annually. and that's probably a low number. state and local taxes paid by californians account for 1/6, just in my home state, of the nationwide costs associated with illegal immigration. including in k-12 education, housing and nutrition assistance, in-state tuition, in-state tuition at public colleges and universities, health coverage under the state's medical program, which is in trouble, sweeping sanctuary policies which make our cities less safe. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from indiana seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i speak unanimous consent to -- i seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you. mr. speaker, i rise in recognition of the outstanding leadership o

all that will be where we cost too small. oh, for the social democrats, but i think this is watched digital and government the next german government, if there will be the next german government composed by the conservative centers over democrats. needs to to do is to push for some of the highest what's going wrong for china is the german economic model, broken why has joined the industry failed to remain competitive? yeah. okay. i'd be a small company company, economic model. it's of course, a, a big feeling these days in germany being widely discussed, many germans, my fellow citizens here in germany. they're very much concerned about the state of germany's economy and where it is heading to in the future. i wouldn't say that everything is bad, so we still have many companies that do well. export companies, service and sector companies. smaller, medium sized companies, including large companies that are still leading in global in each market. we still have a well functioning labor market, high employment, rising view of wag

while we tackle homelessness and the cost of housing, our families are burdened by other costs. we must do more to help them afford day-to-day life. when i travel across the state and i speak to parents, i hear one thing time and again. childcare costs are out of control. on average, an arizona family pays nearly $15,000 a year for child care. that is more than students pay for in-state tuition to public universities. more than 75,000 arizona children, one in four, have parents who need childcare but cannot access it. and every year, childcare disruptions cost our state billions of dollars in economic activity. i was a working mother who raised two kids and i understand these challenges intimately. that is why i am putting forward the working families child care act to lower the cost of caring for your kids by two thirds. [applause] >> through partnerships with employers, we can make life easier for families who are struggling with the high cost of raising a child. hard-working families will win. employers will win, and most importantly, our kids will be better off because they

the although i'm adrian said again, and this is counting the cost on i'll just 0 your way to look at the world of business of economics this week. russia has weathered crippling western sanctions. the us says that there are extraordinary economic opportunities in the nation, but all of that on will american companies get back into business in russia. the you and india want to boost economic ties. the aim to finalize a free trade deal by the end of this year. so all the 2 sides growing closer and will they be able to reach an agreement? it's seen as an historic shift in germany stance on pondering limits. the nation is likely new governments agreed to relax depth was to boost defense spending. so what's behind the plan? and will it be approved with a lack of jobs instead of go thousands of people are competing for a limited number of work visas in spain. while so many senegalese people unemployed and come to countries president to fix the problem up to 3 years of western sanctions. russia could once again be open for american businesses, but that's only if a deal can be done to end th

it costs on the 200000, but how is it possible? i'm going to show you today got to it has given the new spring a fresh look more new features for the interior add more power under the hood. and the price remains reasonable, meaning the spring cost far less than the competition, such as the central n e. c 3, which will launch in europe in 2025. the new spring also has a lot going for it visually. let's talk a little bit about the exterior of these. i know this such as spring electric enough to say, i really liked the design. i think it was a little bit boring. i like the color. i like these brawls comp time. they're all caps. i like this overall, it's trim here on the we're just like the overall trend on the doors. it really looks great. it's upgrade to the todd to another level. and in the front you have got any d lights which is not cheap at all. i would say you have got to be not yellow, but which really fits the call. and on the bottom of the lip, you can see the album design. yeah, probably not. everybody will love it, but i li

and so, the, the costs before costs sharing went from 16.91 to 16.93 and after cost sharing after employers it went from 15.27 to 14.87. and so that difference was the increase in the member contributions after costs sharing. so now i'm going to turn it to anne to go through some of the specifics from this valuation and then, we'll come back to some risk assessments. >> so one of the changes that we did not anticipate in last year's valuation, we did not know where those charter amendment that's were back in the ballot back in november and two of the charter amendments did pass. the first was charter amendment h which was for the active firefighters who are currently in that prop c tier, those are the ones that were hired after 2012 or january 1, 2012. and the increases is their benefits were, isolated to the benefit multipliers in the benefit formula. your formula is a percentage of pay that final average pay service. so all of those benefit multiplier at those age members increased and now at the level of the non prove c members. there were no changes to the prop c member contributions cu

but that's it for this edition of counting the cost. i'm adrian, so they've gone from a whole team here. and so how, thanks for being with us. the news on al jazeera is next the economic collapse, the east of domains and the civil war. i just want to be clear, i read opposing the roger parts of the why were you at the but they found even to, you know, we need to finish that. is it on the know, did you really? that's what allegations the new to the movie has son goes head to head with for mr . and i can president, reino, but congress thing go i am the mean for the day before you were born. i know we so much i called of the problem at the head on al jazeera ton is call me this policy is missing in the aging to set out his priorities for the yes. how, who the world's 2nd largest academy. we actually some trades hired some post 5 of us and what direction will it take to manage the worlds fastest aged supplements? special coverage of trying to send me to sessions on this. one out of the pod came into these dates, new military abuse, poco aro

to do it in the energy costs. so a big point today is going to cost you $91500.00. if you're in the republic of ireland, the most expensive place in the world, a bit going to might be going. it will cost you $321000.00 to get that big point. there's clearly not economically viable, and there are plenty of other european countries where the costs do over a $100000.00 to do it. so there's, there's no revolt and boot time it costs to them over $9900.00 to mind. a big point . one of the cheapest places in the world to do it. that's why it works so well for the boot cities. interestingly, iran is the cheapest place on earth in terms of energy costs. so mine big coin and just over 1000, by $1200.00. that, but iran, you're writing government is clumping down, and individuals doing it because of the amounts of energy best sucking from that of that not to very stable power. so burner boots on also charges tourists a $100.00 a day to visit how sustainable as a guide given the following visitor numbers and the need for the e

but that's it for this edition of counting the cost. i'm adrian so they've gone from a whole team here. and so how, thanks for being with us, the news on al jazeera is next the shake model was for translation and international understanding is inviting nominations for re to 11th edition, starting january the fast and ending march the 31st 2025. for more information, please visit the awards official website at w w, w dot h t a dot q a the it's arlita is back in the gyptian proposal for garza's reconstruction and governance without displacing palestinians. the company bulk of this is just a lot from dough. so coming today, the united states wants to trade war against canada, canada, and mexico and china hit back in heavy tire of 7 post by donald trump. fee is the levies could push up prices.

and so your layering a lot of risk and a lot of cost on top of that, some government. so at the end of the day, we cannot tell a company, we cannot force a company, let's say, to share a technology to teach somebody else, you know how you make your product. um, but the reality is that governments can, in fact, put quite a lot of pressure on companies to do that because they are the ones who pay. that's public money. that's tax pare, money that is paying for the research that allows for a vaccine to be developed and produced by pharmaceutical companies in times of crisis, global south nations. believe pharmaceutical companies should be full to shape tech know how and why the intellectual property rights to allow low for production. that just would, because you need to be able to ensure that that is the best approach that it can compromise the sky. like if it's that are ongoing by that company and that the recipient company actually is able to receive that it has the capabilities, etc. or you can start on a very long road that means to nowhere. and so this has to be volu

given that cost, i would like to ask you about the national debt and the cost of financing it. we now spend more to service the debt annually than we do on national defense. how concerned are you about the accelerating pace of government are owing, and the borrowing cost which will affect families in the form of higher mortgage rates? chair powell: we don't comment on fiscal policy, other than to say that as my predecessors have said, that the u.s. federal budget is on an unsustainable path. it's not the level of the debt is unsustainable, it is that the path is unsustainable. there is no time like the present to start working on this. the longer we wait, the more painful it will be. it is something we will have to do in the long run and the short run. sen. mccormick: and as a practical factor, how do you factor that into your policymaking decisions? chair powell: we don't. we are here to achieve price stability and maximum employment. it is up to congress to deal with fiscal issues, and we leave that to you. sen. mccormick: as a more practical question, which falls in your bai

it's really good story to use a on causing the cost manufacturing date for being with us. thank you. bye. off to his election victory last year, president press 0 dialed by fi permit sweeping reforms to help improve living conditions incentive goal. but today, many sonically, as young people still struggle to find the works of leaving the country in droves, looking for opportunities elsewhere. more than 300000 unemployed people have applied for seasonal visas to work on spanish funds ahead of a harvest. but with only $350.00 spots available, competition is 5th. i'll just here as nicholas hack reports. now the village of traffic, the incentive go on moment this is only there was a well in the village if that again then abdul aziz in guy would not be trying to go to spain. he sees in his fields and taps possibilities. songs about the water he says, is like a magic turning sand into crops. this is the zip of people. see the cell that i can grow solid carrots beans and 9 units. i could in enough to feed my family and not have to go to europe and the good you are hoping to fund

house democrats, we are working hard to lower housing costs, lower grocery costs, lower insurance costsnd lower utility costs and child care costs because we know america is too expensive. we want to drive down the high cost of living. but on the other side of the aisle, we haven't seen a single bill introduced by republicans to drive down the high cost of living, address the affordability crisis in the united states of america. not a single executive order issued by president trump has anything to do with driving down the high cost of living. not a single administrative action taken this year by the trump administration has anything to do with driving down the high cost of living. in fact canses aren't going down in the united states. grocery prices are going up, inflation is going up. republicans are crashing the economy in real-time. so you betrayed the american middle class, working class, children and seniors with this $4.5 trillion budget scheme. and don't come to the house floor and act like this was being done in the fiscal responsibility. enough. there is nothing in the republi

[applause] lowering costs is our top priority. no one in this room could single-handedly bring down prices, we could tackle the biggest items in the budget. let's start with housing, it is a tough market right now. mortgage rates are above 6%. home prices have shot up 50%. the median age of a homebuyer is 56 years old. that is an all-time high. just a quarter of homes went to first-time buyers. rebecca from carlton told me she wants a nice kitchen, small yard for her dog. she recently toured a house in detroit and competed against 40 other bidders. young people are suffering the most. i want to call attention to the fact that this crisis disproportionately impacts young, single men. they by just 8% of homes sold today compared to single women who by 20%. as a dad of three, i know the lieutenant is passionate about housing. he's focused on making our state a better place. we both know every young person wants to protect and provide for themselves and their family. if you can't buy a house, it is hard to build wealth or feel like yo

and it's slightly dry or cost a lot. drive to spain and portugal on sunday, the right and then has moved into something from the northwest eventually with a bit of snow on the tops probably of the alps. now the co installment of costs run across into was morocco. now do you have, you're bringing costs a lot of rain, some snow, maybe through the very top to be up. this mountain is almost certainly going to be some flash sucking here. the rest of north africa is pretty dry. the infectious disease experts say the next 10 demik is coming to, i mean we're definitely not perfect. and i think that's very clear. an organism we know about or a deadly new book called disease x. either way, there's cause for concern the slots in the curve investigate analysis. the around the although i'm, adrian said again, and this is counting the cost on the 0 you'll. we can look at the world of business at economic this week. russia has where the crippling western sanctions the us says that there are extraordinary economic opportunities in the n

in hawaii we face the highest housing costs in the nation. the people of hawaii also asked us to make housing more affordable and available to all of the people across our state. housing is the single largest expense for hawaii families. it accounts for up to 38% household spending on average. 38%. and even before fire destroyed nearly 4000 homes on maui in august 2023, we faced an estimated 50,000 housing units short statewide. now, hawaii's building regulations have driven up the cost of condominium development. they have driven it up 50%, making this the highest cost of housing in the country. and because of our lack of affordable housing, we face a shortage of teachers. we face a shortage of health care workers, which has plagued us for years. and more native hawaiians live in the mainland than in our state. i know that was mentioned another speeches. together, we took action. we approved 10,800 new units of low income housing for struggling families. and over the past 18 months exemptions extent -- established in our proclamations have i

to these obligation to reimburse these costs is absolute under the dda so whatever costs public works or public utilities have in support of the implementation and the program to the city is obligated to reimburse those costs we and we build them for those quarterly and again these are the the departments with whom we have work quarters and and the the budgets for the individual work orders and then we come to the subsidy cost budget. there's a fair amount of volatility in the subsidy cost budget again primarily because of the housing our of our capital support for housing projects vary can vary dramatically from year to year but also as we're looking at bringing additional parks online and we're having the conversation about switching from rubicon to to recreation and parks department, there's there's some increased costs in that area as well. but we have external funding sources to draw upon to balance this budget. there is the the $1.5 million park subsidy obligation from to cd and then we have the cfd revenues that we can draw upon for parks related costs costs related to the new

cost efficiency is both. it's not just about cuts costs and it's revenue and receipts as well. not raise or lower taxes. i have no opinion on that as irs commissioner. i'm saying let's collect the taxes that have already been enacted. >> this is the one that says doge presses to check federal benefits payments against irs tax records. elon musk want tosser much for fraud and privacy law bars the irs from disclosing irs forms to other parts of the government. how safe are irs tax records and does doge already have them? >> it's such a important question and if you allow me, i want to talk a little bit about this question of fraud. what is fraud and what is error and how do you stop it? then i'll address your question about the data. because when the and i've been working on this for virtually my entire career. one thing i learned and i don't have the monopoly or the right answer. not here to say i figure it had all out and know how to solve the problem. i have lessons learned and one of the lessons learned as you're getting ready to make a payment to a grantee, to a contractor,

and hopefully at a, at a lower cost. i think behind the acts is a pretty simple principle, which is more self reliance. let's say less i'm begging and waiting for the international community to come and save the date. in september 2024 delegates a great to create a system. the new shows health experts have rapid access to deadly new pathogens that could cause time damage, be transactional mechanism could enable global south net. she was to access cheap protest vaccine and commercially benefit from sharing disease dawson, how to implement the system. so it's a, it's old, remains a challenge. currently we don't have any rules that obligate governments to share the samples or the data quickly where all countries say we will all share sex scenes technologies until actual property, all of that. and the fact that we don't have those rules puts everybody at risk. what a number of the industrialized countries i think are afraid of and what the pharmaceutical industry is afraid of is if we allow and build capacity in other parts

costs aren't going down, they're going up. inflation is going up and not a single thing has been done to drive down the high cost of living in the united states of america. not one executive order, not one administrative action, not a single bill has been introduced, let alone presented on the house floor and passed to address the affordability crisis in the united states of america. under donald trump and house republicans, the economy is tanking in real-time. at the same moment house republicans have introduced a reckless budget that would set in motion the largest cut to medicaid in american history. it will devastate children, devastate families, devastate people with disabilities, devastate older americans, result in the closing of hospitals and the shutting down of nursing homes. and all of this is being done to pay for massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors like elon musk. unacceptable, unconscionable and it's un-american. the house democrats are committed to doing everything we can to stop it. and we're committe

fee cost? and how much does it cost to deploy a ship, a plane in an air defense system to fire at it? both ukraine and russia are now racing to expand the drone production and adapt to rapid innovations from the other side. something that ukrainian soldiers say the west and allies also need to learn is for sure. yeah. but from what i see in here and available were not a single needle army. it is that it is ready to resist the cascade of drones. and as long as you are paying the allies, look to ramp up to the defense spending. drones are already shaping how the was of the future will be for let's get more on this now with marine and they were on, she's with the defense studies department at kings college london, and she joins us from munich. tell us ukraine has been remarkably adapted, scaling up its production of drones, how they've done it, and what lessons can be learned a good afternoon. well, um we have to understand that. um, the ukrainian and forces have to be very flexible and you've see

is at the cost?> senator my understanding is under baseline scoring by cbo >> does continue even though we only passed one year authorizations. follows current loss of the idea is if you're going to extend >> even though it hasn't been authorized as the baseline incorporates higher >> even though it hasn't been authorized why would extendd, currente activity for the tax code? that's my extending of the discussion at the end of the day this is a decision for congress as to what you use as the baseline it's not something if confirmed as deputy secretary of the treasure would havee any roe in determining. >> i appreciate that but that's not what i asked for that so senator warren asked through what i asked is if your rent went up by $50 is the cost to you next month when it would takeec affect $50 or the cost to repay now plus $50? >> in your question at my rent payment to my landlord in the nextth month would be $2050. >> i appreciate that. the reason i ask a question the oversimplified version is base

the surgeon costs are partly due to an outbreak of bird fluid. this led to the calling of millions of chickens. the price hike of such an essential part of the american diet is feeding into water fears of inflation and its leaving many consumers and restaurant owners shell shocked. few foods there is crucial to the american breakfast as eggs. but the price is searched by more than 100 percent in the last 12 months. and that's left consumers and restaurant owners scrambling for solutions. eggs are really important. we go through a lot of eggs. they're usually $46.00 a case. and right now they're a $146.00 a case. this is a 3 is impose the surcharge of $2.00 on old meals containing ex employees. say most customers have sold at the move for now the others. it's yet another reminder that the cost of living in the us is going up. it's a good mix. i mean, some people have been keeping up with sort of, you know, the shortage of eggs. and so they're not surprised, and other people, you know, are upset because food's really expensive. the shortage of eggs

is that the cost? mr. faulkender: senator, my understanding is under baseline scoring by cbo, spending does continue even though we only pass one-year authorizations. taxes follow current law. the idea is if you are going to extend spending, even though it has not been authorized, if the baseline incorporates higher spending even though it has not been authorized, why would we not extend current activity for the tax code? that is my understanding of the discussion. at the end of the day, this is a decision for congress as to what you use of the baseline. . that is not something that i if confirmed would have any role in determining. >> i appreciate that. that is not what i asked. that is what senator warren asked. i asked, if your rent went up by $50, is the cost to you next month when it would take effect $50 or the cost you are paying now plus $50? mr. faulkender: in your question, my rent payment to my landlord in the next month would be $2050. >> i appreciate that very much. the reason i asked that que
