if any of you have been there and stood on custer hill you may have experienced what i did. you looked to the south and you see this string of white crosses coming across in your direction. you are almost on the top. almost at a place where a person might be able to determine the military underneath the attack. and sometimes in dozens or scores. it comes very real. looking over the countryside you see roughly what custer would have seen or the indians attacking him would have seen. the biggest change is a railroad line and a lawn that railroad line, several times a day a gigantic train leaves from montana heading towards south carolina or west virginia to create electricity. when there is no train on the rise and everything looks the way it looked at an earlier time. if you look down and the winding river you are likely to see a lot of horses that belonged to the pro scouts who came to that site with custer and that actually inherited the battlefield. it is very immediate and at that point i started thinking about it. writing a book about the killing of crazy horse required

i think next crockett general custer is my favorite. that doesn't mean i love him, just he's a pretty interesting fellow. >> exactly. that idea that you have to be for or against someone. as long as they are interesting that's what's important. and making them interesting. as a matter of fact sometimes the rogues are more interesting than the good guys. and custer is someone who covers the same period and is much more after the civil war much of a frontier figure than jesse james. jesse james fits into the definition of western by the 19th century standards easily but, you know, he lived in places like tennessee and traveled to atlanta and mississippi he saw himself as a part of the north and south conflict more than the west as a region though that is very important to that definition is important. custer really when you get more into the frontier experience, and as many great western historians, you know, flexible heather richardson has done this with a couple of books, the western history is very interesting these days and integratin

the custer went out. growth in the future is due to the same thing we talked about in the future. intensity of services and if you have the retirement of the baby boomers, their entitlement to a medicare benefits starting this year for people turning 65 this year and then continuing for the next 20 years until we all breached sufficiently high age. that that the projected expenditures exceed the projected income rates in all years. even though the difference narrows quite a bit the economy recovers. the affordable care acts savings can't. netted in particular in the costa a hell of levels of starting in 2014 or thereabouts, it is growing very rapidly and then levels off. one might think, okay. that is the baby boom showing up. they are all there. that is a little too simplified. what is is the combination of the baby boom becoming eligible for benefits plus growth and utilization services, prices for services, and all of that overtime significantly offsets by one of the key features of the affordable care act. that is starting almost immediately for most medicare providers the pay

that fix was necessary to address a loophole created by the courts in the custer battles decision were iraqi funds administered by the u.s. government were subject to fraud. this was a damaging loop all because it essentially said that contractors were free to defraud the government as long as the money was from a foreign country that entrusted the u.s. government to administer it. ultimately, we closed that loophole in the fraud enforcement recovery act which was signed into law by president obama. today's hearing is no less important because criminal acts committed by u.s. citizens and contractors abroad would threaten our foreign relations. as such it is right for us to examine the ways we can bring these criminals within reach of our law. legislation extending the reach of u.s. criminal law to contractors was introduced in the last two conferences. both times that legislation failed to clear both chambers and was never signed into law. chief among their concerns at a time was a lack of clear exception for contractors that were employed by the intelligence community. in 2007 preside
