welfare for large corporations that do not need it, including insurance companies that are based in bermuda, australia and switzerland. my amendment already has the support and advocacy of a third of this body. 33 senators have signed a letter saying do not cut food stamps because it protects half a million struggling americans who too often do not have a voice in washington when they desperately need it, and it makes modest cuts to an already over generous corporate welfare system. it's just common sense. standing by those who are suffering is the core, it's a core value of who we are as americans. so if it's in your heart and if you believe that feeding hungry children is the right thing to do, then stand with us, stand with america's veterans, stand with the aarp and american seniors. stand with struggling families and children all across this nation. let's keep food on the tables of people who need it. when we do, america will be stronger, and this body will be stronger. i yield the floor. withhold. the presiding officer: under the previous order, the senate stands in recess until 2:15

corporations pays nothing in taxes, while corporations are stashing their money in the cayman islands and bermuda and other tax havens, we have made devastating cuts in programs that people can ill afford. just as a result of sequestration, this is what is happening in the real world. at a time when over 20 million americans are unemployed or underemployed, unemployment insurance checks which average about $300 a week -- try living on $300 a week -- are being cut by 10.7%. in other words, those who are out of work through no fault of their own are having their unemployment benefits reduced by more than $32 a week on average. now, $32 here is what people spend for lunch. but if you're a working family and you're unemployed, $32 is a question of whether you buy food for the kids or not. we've got to replace that loss. at a time when early childhood education is more important than ever, when we do an abysmal job in terms of childcare and preschool education already, as a result of sequestration 70,000 kids are losing access to head start and early head start programs. that is unacceptable. madam pr

yet we got bermuda to do it. >> yeah bermuda took in the ugers from there. >> right. >> michael: youe once a vocal advocate of the guantanamo military commissions, but in recent years you have changed your mind. why happened there? >> one of the things is it was intended to be a temporary facility. it was said they needed over $200 million to rehab the facilities because gitmo was intended to be temporary not permanent. and second when i came into the job, i thought we were committed to doing this right and making this a credible process and something we look back on. my generation looks back with nostalgia onner in -- on nuremberg. >> michael: how much have conditions changed since 2005. >> not a lot. the physical facilities are pretty much the same. i used to be a bail bondsman, so i have seen a lot of jails and prisons, but it's not about the physical conditions it's about the what happens. they sit there year after year because of their citizenship, and i would hope if that was an american we would object that that kind of thing was happening. so it's the legal basis to begin wit
