. >> let me thank you, chairman bono mack and i thank you for those kind words in wishing me a good birthday next week. wife been looking ford it for a long time and it's finally come. let me thank the witnesses for their anticipated testimonies today. we know the schedule is kind of disjointed this morning, but thank you so much for your patience. madam chairman, there is no more important issue to working americans than the ability to get and keep a job. provide for their families and ensure that when their children grow up, they, too, can succeed. the causes of the most recent recession are many. they are indeed complex while the solutions can also be complex, one thing is certain. the creation of jobs benefits the entire economy and recent monthly employment reports we've begun to see the fruits of that labor. over the past two years the manufacturing sector has added more than 450,000 jobs. not since the clinton administration has the sector seen such fast growth. in a one-year period from january of 2010 to january of 2011, immediately after the worst of the recession, the manufacturin

i'm particularly indebted to chairman bono mack for calling me up to her office in the first week that i was in office to really begin to educate me about an issue that frankly three years ago was not on the public's radar screen, but is clearly in front of the public today. i included prescription drug abuse as a initiative as part of the administration's national drug control strategy. as has been mentioned, it's been categorized as a public health epidemic by the centers for disease control and prevention. the scope of nonmedical use of pharmaceuticals is striking. cdc found in 2008 that the opioid pain relievers were involved in 8,000 deaths and are involved in more overdose deaths as has been mentioned than heroin and keck cain combined. the vast majority of pharmaceutical drugs originally enter into circulation through a prescription. the quantity of prescription painkillers sold to pharmacies, hospitals and doctors offices has quadrupled from 1999 to 2010. when i testified last year before this subcommittee in april, the administration had just released that month its comprehens

the campaign also enlisted the help of republican congresswoman mary bono mack and also cathy mcmorris rodgers. both women defended romney by hitting back at the obama administration. both women, of course, voted against the lilly ledbetter fair pay act along with a vast majority of republicans in congress. the silence was deafening, wasn't it? joining me tonight is lilly ledbetter, the namesake of the lilly ledbetter fair pay act. the law helps women fight back against pay discrimination. she is also the author of "grace and grit," and we want to thank you, lilly, for joining us tonight here on "the ed show". >> thank you, ed. i am so grateful. >> well, what's your response to the probable nominee of the republican party not knowing what your law was all about? >> i'm disturbed. i'm very disturbed. and i'm extremely concerned, because that tells me he's really further out of touch with women and our rights than i thought, to not know how he would respond to that, and "we'll get back to you"? that should have been a no-brainer, ed. it should have been very quickly. absolutely not, i wo

bono mack: i stries in strong support of this bill. this would prevent rogue nations, terrorists and cybercriminals. we need to act before a disaster takes place, not after it. and this is our chance. as chairman on commerce manufacturing and trade, i've spent the past 16 months holding hearings and thoroughly examining the issue of online privacy so as a co-spon or of this legislation, i have carefully reviewed its privacy provisions and i'm satisfied it will not negatively impact american consumers. frankly, the privacy concerns are exaggerated. there's no bookyman hiding in the closet and big brother is not tapping into your hard drive this provides no authority to the federal government to monitor private networks, none. additionally, all information sharing with the government would be completely voluntary. the bill also encourages the private sector to anonmies the information it shares with the government and other entities, including the removal of personally idebit official -- ident fieable information prior to sharing it and
