bartlett put in the record, if i might. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. udall: but in conclusion, i did want to again underline that i find, as always, senator enzi someone who's thoughtful, practical, pragmatic and i heard in his comments a call to action where everything would be on the table, including providing for greater solvency of social security and medicare, for cutting spending and ending duplication but also for looking for additional revenue, which i think we all agree we could start to do by simplifying the tax code, reducing rates and then taking a look at individual tax rates. i wanted to make those comments before i move to my comments on the anniversary of september is september 11.mr. president, i we years ago. it was a beautiful day. low humidity. for us coloradans, low humidity is something we've come to expect in all cases. bluebird skies. but it turned into a terrible day with terrible events and i thought i'd reflect on what they mean for our country 11 years later for a few minutes. as we've all said today and we all know, these a

bartlett? >> thank you very much. i would like to emphasize what actions it and can put our discussion in context. about every six or seven hours there's another billion dollars increase in our deficit. that drives our debt up more than $1 trillion a year. more than a trillion dollars a year our debt increases. as the chairman said if we were to zero out everything that we vote on here, we had no in ih, no military, no homeland to get him now department of transportation and it's all gone, no department of education, we zero all of that out, we would still have a deficit. we borrow about 42 cents out of every dollar we spend. so clearly the sequestered does not solve our deficit, the debt problem. if the sequester a cursor defense will be cut something a bit more than $50 billion this next year. defense is a bit less than one-fifth of our spending. so if you're going to cut defense and the other discretion programs, let's be fair and cut across the board all of the programs. that would mean about $250 billion that we

let's go back to what steve bartlett says. i will see mr. bartlett's quote that i had at the beginning. don't take my word for it. this is ronald reagan's economic advisor. he says the ryan plan is a monstrosity. the rich would receive huge tax cuts while the others would be shredded to take care of them. how far do you think they would get today with that kind of a statement? again, the ryan budget would rip up that source of a contract, replace it with a sort of survival of the fittest, winner take all. it's sort of a tough luck, you're on your own. if you're wealthy, life in the right circumstances, you're okay. or if you win the lottery, god bless you, you're okay if you win the lottery. but otherwise tough luck, you're on your own. i agree with what president clinton said last week when he said there are two competing philosophies here. one is the romney-ryan budget philosophy of you're on your own. the other philosophy is what i think we have been proposing, and that is that we're all better off when it's a -- we're all in it together

ryan's plan isn't even an act of courage, bruce bartlett says.it's simply pandering to the tea party, where i think mr. ryan is of the tea party, so i don't know of his need to pander to it but anyway that's what this reagan person indicated. a real act of courage would have been for him to admit as all serious budget analysts know that revenues will have to rise well above 19% of g.d.p. to stabilize the debt. close quote. in the coming weeks and months, we will continue to hear a lot of back and forth about the heartless policy proposals coming from paul ryan and members of congress who support his plan. mr. president, this is a deadly serious debate, deadly serious, with enormous consequences for our country and for every person in it. it is my sincere and urgent hope that as more americans come to understand exactly where the ryan-romney plan would take our nation in its life saving programs and others, and that they will decide to run in the opposite direction, away from it. the republican budget is a slap in the face to millions of americans

>> thank you for the question, chairman bartlett. we started to learn over the winter that there were a variety of symptoms that were emerging and it was in april of this year where we had our restricting breathing working group that had a combination of f-22 pilots and the professionals across the medical field where we really got into substantial discussions about symptoms. as well as research done at duke university and with the united states navy where we broadened our area and symptoms like light-headedness, dizziness, fatigue are actually ambiguous across things like toxic exposure, hypoxia, hypocapnia, hyper glycemia, dehydration. but i say for me as a task force lead the a-ha moment came when we had different services from nasa and from industry together. that's where it really started to emerge in our mind. >> how difficult is it to differentiate between the symptoms of hypoxia and hypocapnia? >> chairman bartlett, i tread on dangerous ground now engaging in a discussion with you about your level of knowledge about this. wha

bartlett is correct because not only does he cut taxes in a very dramatic way for the richest among us -- let me just be clear. first thing he does is extend all the bush-era tax cuts. then on top of that he cuts the top rate from 35% to 25%. that provides over a trillion dollars of additional tax cuts for the wealthiest among us. and they refuse to do anything to close the tax loopholes that are allowing certain wealthy people to avoid paying taxes in this country entirely. i've shown on the floor of the senate many times a picture of a five-story building in the cayman islands called the ugland house. the ugland house claims to be the home of 18,000 companies. a little five-story building in the cayman islands claims to be the home of 18,000 companies. i say that's the most efficient building in the world. can you imagine 18,000 companies operating out of a little five-story building down in the cayman islands? all those companies claim they're doing business out of that little building for a reason. they claim they're doing business out of that little building in the cayman islands

former ronald reagan economist, economic advisor bruce bartlett on the ryan budget said this -- quote -- "distributionally, the ryan plan is a monstrosity. the rich would receive huge tax cuts while the social safety net would be shredded to pay for them. -- to pay for them." shredded to pay for them. well, mr. president, the ryan budget rips up the social safety net, disinvests in our infrastructure, cuts funding for job training, cuts money for education, cuts money for health care. as i said, it is a negative defeatist viewpoint that will set our country into a death spiral of stagnation and decline. the romney-ryan budget would replace that unique american social contract that we have with a survival of the fittest, winner take all philosophy that tells struggling, aspiring americans and their communities tough luck, you're on your own. mr. president, i agree with former president bill clinton, we have two philosophies here. the romney-ryan budget, tough luck, you're on your own, or the other philosophy that we're all americans and we're all in this together. we're all mutually su

bruce bartlett. former reagan economic advisor. here's what he said. of "distributionly,ally, the -- distributionally the ryan plan is a phopb -- monstrosity. the rich would receive huge tax cuts while the social safety net would be shredded to pay for them. shredded to pay for them." again, youdon't have to take th. i think the bishops had something to say about that. when the bishops said "the ryan budget fails the moral test." "the nation's catholic bishops reiterated their demand that the federal budget protect the poor and said the g.o.p. measure 'fails to meet these moral criteria'." the ryan budget -- the ryan budget. well, mr. president, a centerpiece of the ryan budget again is its promise to repeal the affordable care act. obamacare, they want to repeal that. well, again, once you get pass past this political -- past this political theater and look at what the repeal of the obamacare would mean, not a pretty picture. it would reopen the drug doughnut hole, requiring seniors to pay about $600 more per year on average for prescription drugs. th

bruce bartlett, an economic adviser to president reagan, said that the ryan budget "was a monstrositystributional in, because it shreds"the social shreds which we have built up in america over the last 100 years at least. i just find that governor romney's statement just kind of bewildering, baffling. host: his comment that these folks believe they are victims and believe the government has a responsibility to care for them. guest: i don't see that at all. when i see a poor family that don't have much and they are struggling to make ends meet and they want their kids to have the best education and get into good schools and get a good education so they can do better in, their in they don't see themselves as victims, they see themselves as part of the american dream. my father had a sixth grade education. my mother was an immigrant. we did not have much of anything. what they wanted for their kids was a decent life. they wanted a good education and other kids could have a better life than they had. that's not victimization, that's the american dream. host: senator harkin is our guest. d

steve bartlett, who was a congressman from dallas and who later left the house, became mayor of dallas and now i think he's the executive director of the business council here, was there to testify. he had been very instrumental in not only helping us pass the a.d.a. but helping us pass the a.d.a. act amendments of 2008 which the second president bush signed into law. well, i say this to my friend from utah, this is not something that popped up overnight. this has been a long time coming, a lot of effort has been put into it and as i said, all the departments have said there is no conflict with our laws, we don't have to change anything. i also say to my friend that -- that, you know, we do want to be that city on the hill, that shining city on the hill and this is one area in which the united states has no equal. we have taken the lead in the world on this issue. countries come to us to see how they can do something, what they can do for people with disabilities. 116 nations have already signed it and the european union. if we don't sign it, then when other countries then they have to

bartlett is correct because not only does he cut taxes in a very dramatic way for the richest among us -- let me just be clear. first thing he does is extend all the bush-era tax cuts. then on top of that he cuts the top rate from 35% to 25%. that provides over a trillion dollars of additional tax cuts for the wealthiest among us. and they refuse to do anything to close the tax loopholes that are allowing certain wealthy people to avoid paying taxes in this country entirely. i've shown on the floor of the senate many times a picture of a five-story building in the cayman islands called the ugland house. the ugland house claims to be the home of 18,000 companies. a little five-story building in the cayman islands claims to be the home of 18,000 companies. i say that's the most efficient building in the world. can you imagine 18,000 companies operating out of a little five-story building down in the cayman islands? all those companies claim they're doing business out of that little building for a reason. they claim they're doing business out of that little building in the cayman islands
