bartlett versus strickland says yes, when we said majority we meant majority so it has to be over 50%. unfortunately, they didn't say over 50% of what so the denominator question i said before, citizen voting age population, voting age population, fifth circuit and ninth circuit, i guess 11th circuit, a lot of the circuits where you might care about the citizenship issue say you have to look at citizen voting age population which causes some challenges since we don't have the same citizenship data at the, you know, you don't have it on the census forms so you have to use survey data, so bartlett says it's over 50%. it leaves open two issues, the first is that one about the denominator. the other is about minority coalition districts, so can you group together african-americans and hispanics, for example, in particular areas, in order to surmount that 50% threshold? the recent texas decision has a cryptic sentence saying maybe not, saying the district court's decision in texas if it thought you could do that might not, they might not have really understood what section two is about but

it may have been congressman bartlett's bushy gray moustache that made him a target for the jokers at the american moustache institute. the institute is lobbying for a tax break to cover the expensive grooming habits of those who sport hair on their upper lip. >> moustached americans are earning about 4.3% more on average. >> costs are such as beard and moustache trimmers, moustache wax, facial hair coloring implements such as just for men hair dye. >> reporter: bartlett's primary opponents are fuming that the deficit hot congressman would fund this for the tea party might be pushing a tax loophole for the folliclely overearring. >> honestly with people in district 6 probably about 15% unemployed i think we have some other issues that are a little more important than facial hair. >> reporter: bartlett's press secretary may have started this whole controversy, but when i asked her to interview the congressman, she declined and said nothing to discuss. his chief of staff put out a statement saying, "for the record, roscoe is pro moustache but does not believe that americans should pay f

i talked to bruce bartlett soon after he had finished his new book. you made the point america's top earning 1% had an effective 33.1% federal income tax rate in 1986. and an effective rate of only 23.3% in 2008. you say yet the top 1% had kept paying at the 1986 effective rate, quote, the federal debt today would be $1.7 trillion lower. that's a lot of money. >> that's right. when i say effective rate, that means the taxes they pay divided by their income. so that tells you what the revenue is that the government gets from taxing them. and clearly, they were doing okay at the beginning of that period. that was ronald reagan's administration. up till 1986 the top statutory rate was 50%. now it's 35%, and all the pressure is on to lower that even further. this just doesn't make a great deal of sense to me. when people say, oh, we can't raise taxes on the rich, they'll go on strike, they'll move to another country, but within recent memory, it hasn't been that long ago that we had rates that were substantially higher and these people did just fine. >> w

bartlett? >> thank you, our chairman mentioned the task force smith regarding the lessons learned from task force smith, one of the reasons that the army could not get enough soldiers and equipment in was because there were a limited number of transport aircraft t army has decided not to procure c 21. when it comes to providing support out to the last technical mile, are you convinced that the air force will be able to meet all of your needs and if they don't, will the army have to increase the use rate for other assets? i think that everyone knows that the air force was never very enthusiastic about the c-27 j, they did not want the plane. in a logic that i had trouble understanding, the pentagon assigned the plane to the air force and asked them to be at the beck and call of the army when the army needed that support. did i not think it was a prescription for really a effective military. and i understand now, that because of limitations in air strips in afghanistan we do not have enough c-27

this is bartlett saying this.> what is the likelihood that democrats will gain courage and republicans will gain compromise? >> frankly, one of our political parties is insane. we all know which one it is. >> this is, by the way, coming from someone who worked with ronald reagan. >> this is a reagan aide saying this about the republicans. >> well, i would say this, reverend. most important vote that will occur in this year will be the year -- the day when the senate adopts their rules for the next session. if they don't modify that filibuster rule which mitch mcconnell has used fairly well and they don't take away these holds on it, everything should be brought to a vote. if the president appoints somebody to be a judge, they ought to have their day where they are either voted up or down. and until you change those rules that the senate is operating under, we are paralyzed. we in the senate, we in the house pass things all the time. we send it over to the house, it dies simply because someone either puts a hold on

bartlett versus strickland says, yes, it has to be over 50%.nfortunately, they didn't say 50% over what. the denominator question i said before, the voting age population, the 9th circuit and 11 circuit has circuits with the citizenship issue saying looking at the population that causes challenges because we don't have the same citizen data at -- you know, not on the census forum, and you have to use survey data. bartlett says it's over 50% leaving open two issues. the first is that one. the other is about minority coalition districts, and so can you group together african-americans and hispanics in certain areas in order to sur mount the 50% threshold? there's a cryptic session saying the district court's decision if it thought you can do that, they might not have understood what section 2 is about, but there's, you know, if they wanted to be clear, they could have been, and they were not in that case. >> i think just to go with that, the supreme court was so focused on the word "koalation" that they didn't focus on coalition of what. the clai

carter certified in writing, and i know this question has been asked before i arrived by congressman bartlett. he certified in writing to congress that the global hawk system was essential to national security. global hawk was $220 million cheaper per year to operate than the u2. the decision to pull 18 global hawk block 30 global hawk out is shortsighted in my opinion. your recommendation is a complete reversal of your position. can you explain how an asset can be critical to national security and then less than one year later be terminated? and can you answer how the air force will compensate for the loss of this capability? >> i'm going to have general dempsey speak to that. but it is -- i mean -- look, we are very committed to unmanned systems. we think that's the future. but at the same time, we've got to make judgments about which ones are most cost effective. and i think that was behind the decision here. >> this isn't about global hawk. it's about global hawk block 30. it's become too expensive in relation to other capabilities we have. >> i have one final question, if i could. the f-

critz's district, that both chairman bartlett and i went to that is a very real concern on behalf of industry that the skilled workers are not going to be there after such a lengthy shutdown. so after going cold for three to four years, how can we be sure that that capacity will be able to regenerate itself? >> well, it's a great question. it's one we're very concerned about and very focused on as well. what we have attempted to do at this point is really a two-prong approach. first of all, the department of defense is leading what is called the s2t2, a analysis of all of our industrial partners to try to assess those greatest vulnerabilities, the kinds of things that you mentioned, mr. reyes, and to figure a path forward for all the services jointly as to how we might lessen that challenge and burden on the individual locations. beyond that, the army itself is doing an industrial baseline. our folks and our acquisition community are looking at those things as by way of example, you mention the abrams shut down in ohio. what we're doing with gdls, general dynamics land systems, the c

bartlett was asking you about the f-35, and of course at cherry point, because of the depot, the interest in the f-35b, knowing that at one point in a discussion i had a few months ago, there was a thought that maybe at some point in time as this f-35 becomes online and becomes a reality that there might be eight squadrons going down to cherry point. well, i realize in this very difficult budget year and none of us know what we would like to see today, might not be a possibility tomorrow. so if you would expand a little bit more on how you feel that the progress that's been made on the f-35, and knowing that you believe that we do need a strong fighter system in our country, if you would elaborate just a little bit more on that, i would appreciate it. >> thank you, congressman. you know, the only way the united states remains the strongest military power in the world is to keep developing new generation fighters that have the technologies and capabilities that we are going to need in the future. and i had the opportunity to go to pax river and see the development that is behind the f-35 a
