i do not know the gentleman's district from arkansas as he does. i suspect good things can be done with the money. i see the point. the arts center of grand prarie, i guess they do wonderful work, but i don't know how it's related to juvenile justice. congress has the authority to spend the money. doesn't mean it's smart, doesn't mean it's wise, doesn't mean it's helpful. but, yes, congress has that power. . my complaint is twofold, number one, when we are borrowing money from the chinese, sending the bill to our children and grandchildren, spending more -- encountering more debt in the next 10 years than the previous 220 combined, we have never seen levels of debt since world war ii. is there any time that we decide maybe something isn't a national priority? as good a work as they do at the art center of the grand prairie, i would submit to you there are alternative uses for this money that would help families in america and it is not a priority. we must start this spending discipline somewhere. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gen

from central america that they were afraid or in danger of being won over to come as some up to arkansas to study and christian colleges to study business, marketing, these kinds of a free-market oriented disciplines and then to go back to central america and help build a sort of pro american pro u.s. pro free-market alternative two that. now, that is one way to tell a story, but if you know the history and central america and the '80s, it is as you say a much darker story. the u.s. was deeply involved in creating and propping up dictatorships throughout the region that were grossly viciously murderously lacking in respect for human life for any sort of values of freedom that we would recognize as such. and this story seen from this angle is really interesting and is much more sinister because not because wal-mart had any direct connection with that history and that is important the evangelical right did have a direct connection and many cases with some of these repressive regimes in central america and enthusiastically bringing supports and material support to to some of these regimes.

they wouldn't be doing that in arkansas. but the question that i specifically have right now because this was much appreciated. i don't think any of the senator's thought that the law was going to be applied this way and that again, you're going to be on a judicious body, deciding. but what's happening right now as of july 12 v. atv and snowmobile, manufactures have to submit to the cpsc a report that lists each component part that is made of metal and is accessible to children, and there may be hundreds of these parts. and a problem for them is they are try to figure out what is accessible because of the cpsc is supposed to issue a final rule on accessibility and what's accessible on august 14. so there is this lack where they are supposed to give all their parts but they don't know what's accessible to august 14. and so what they are trying to get is some kind of an extension so that they can find out what the cpsc defined as accessible before they go through these hundreds of parts that they list. and i just wondered if y

for this legislation, it has been done away with by the events here in washington, d.c., kan., and arkansas. there have been a rise in hate crimes over the last few years much of it directed at latinos. 10 years ago i testified in favor of this bill, which i think is limited in scope and rational in what it wants to do. expanding the scope of the federal hate crime legislation to include gender, ability, sexual orientation, doing away with a jurisdictional requirements and allowing the federal government to assist in prosecuting investigating of these events. the time is right, the time is now for the passage of legislation. >> last year we passed the intelligence act of 2008. there was a lack of adequate protections in it. today the new york times reported that national security is violating even the very permissive standards imposed by correctional authorities. collecting and reading an immense number of e-mails, to and from the united states citizens brought by an without warrants, caused by the abuses discovered by the fbi in national security letters. how do we justify continuing these

host: next from arkansas. caller: i am very wary about inflation. of all of the bank bail outs and auto bailouts. this president has created the hugest deficit in history, that our children and grandchildren will never be able to pay for. he should return to the bush tax cuts that created jobs, and put money in many american pockets. host: the bush tax cuts are still active. they have not been repealed. caller: great. this president needs to continue them. host: virginia on the independent line. caller: this is worse than inflation. if they don't extend the bills again, they are worried about obama putting debt on their children, but they do it themselves. with their credit card, if you over extend yourself, and you are worried about 5%, maybe you should cut back on your spending. host: do you have credit card debt? caller: i have one credit card. i am paying it down, and i will have it done before the end of the year. people want to put things on cards, and they look at obama and say, you are running up the deficit. look at your own personal financ

diane, you are next from arkansas. good morning. caller: good morning, steve. i do not have a whole lot of opinion on this, as i do not think it makes much difference. what is concerning me this morning is i was watching the president's talking to the french president yesterday. has anybody mention that that our flag behind them was dragging the floor? has anybody said anything about that? host: at the news conference? caller: in france. host: i have to admit, you are the first to pointed out. caller: that really irritated me. one of the rules of the flag is that it is not supposed to touch. it was the only one. there were three flags there. it was not just touching, there were three or 4 inches touching. host: this is the video that we have from yesterday. we will continue to watch it. it might have been in what was called the location inside. thank you for bringing that to our attention. we will go to atlanta next. should this deal between fiat and chrysler be blocked? ruth later ginsberg is fielding a question -- ruth ginsberg is feeling the question -- fiel

host: arkansas. good morning. caller: i was listening to other people and thinking what i would talk about. the first thing i want to say is that he is republican. i wonder if he has read "medicare and you." if you had read this book you could not say what you just said. we had lacrosse in 1954, and now my husband is 72 and we do not have the finances to pay insurance. the only thing we have now is medicare. and also, it is not free. they take to under dollars out of our social security costs, which leaves us very little. when we see a doctor, we have to pay a copayment. we pay the doctor if we get a cold or a shot, anything like that. we pay extra. it is not free. all of the news media keeps saying, "oh, medicare is stored to be free for everybody. but if it is free for everybody, what our senior citizens paying money out of their social security? >> she is right. she made the point i made, as well, that 90% of beneficiaries have some form of coverage, because medicare alone is not enough. so she is one of the 10

in april of 1989, and i'll try reversed -- al traveled to arkansas to recruit this governor to assume the chairmanship of the dlc. together, bill clinton, al, marshall, and bruce read or write the new orleans declaration which lays out a bold new governing philosophy for the new party. soon thereafter, clinton delivers a speech in cleveland the proposal to the forefront of national politics. later that year, clinton launches a presidential campaign as a different kind of democrat. >> we offer our people a new choice based on old values. we offer opportunity. we demand responsibility. we will build an american community again. we are, as democrats, a revitalized democratic party.

from my father's reelection campaign to congress back in memphis and how i was so excited that this arkansas governor and this tennessee senator would be the nominee is for the party or were the nominees for the party. i shared with the fellow i was speaking to on the telephone, and he agreed that it was the first time since i was 6 years old but a democrat was boy is to win the white house and i felt good about it. in 1980, 1984, 1988, i was excited about our candidates. i cannot forget about 1984 when i was excited about jesse jackson's candidacy as a 14- year-old freshman student. and in 1988 by him again. but there was something special about bill clinton in 1992. the man now speaking to helped to lay the foundation for so much of this. a young man who noticed in 1984 and 1985 that middle-class america and the mainstream america was not being represented. their concerns are not being addressed, and there were not given the tools to achieve their dreams and aspirations. i thought back on the great leaders of this organization from chuck robb to dig gephardt to jim jones, at 2 barbara kine

the tarp money, this story pointing out a quote from a senator from arkansas who says tarp was never meant to be a permanent program but an initiative meant to stabilize our financial markets and bring greater confidence to investors and businesses. it is only appropriate for that program to be phased out as expeditiously as possible. the first paragraph pointing out this detail that a bipartisan trio of senators will introduce legislation to make sure wall street bailout money paid to the government cannot be recycled to keep the program continuing. next is marlin from illinois. good morning. caller: here in illinois and employment is up to 10.1%. i disagree with the collar. -- unemployment is up to 10.1%. i disagree with the caller people are unemployable. i am finding a hard side job in information technology. -- i am finding a hard time finding a job in information technology. i take offense to the caller saying people who are unemployed cannot find jobs. host: some political stories this morning. the mayor of los angeles saying he will not run for governor. the decision may help

one day he was on the arkansas river, he started counting a herd of buffalo and it took a couple days and he heard from some friends who saw the same thing. he figured they were probably trailing in a wedge shaped, so he made the calculation that he must have been looking at four million of them. then he looked at a map, if there are four million here, there are probably 15 of these areas spread around north america, and sixty million buffalo. now the number is thirty million, how much land, when people rated cattle and sheep. at the end of the civil war the number is down to fifteen million and between eighteen 72 and 1882, that final fifteen million was reduced to less than 1,000. people recognize this as a problem too late. the animal was saved by ranchers who thought it would be cool, there were none around but they did, like bits of scraps and lots of supply and demand. once people decided to start saving them, they had breeding programs and one of the most important ones was in montana. people were trying to save them from genetic things, pretty soon they hit a couple thousand o
