south dakota is one of the. today south dakota has over 10,000 more jobs than we did before the recession. south dakota, in fact, is two and a half% above our pre recession peak. the nation remains about 1% below pre recession levels. south dakota's average personal income growth continues to be among the highest in the nation. in the third quarter of last year personal income growth compared to the same quarter in 2012 was the highest in the nation. we have reached another important milestone as well. our per capita income now exceeds the national average. numbers available for 2012 indicate that the average resident earns about 3 percent more than the average american. one consequence of western and the economy is that 2013 saw a 1% decrease in the number of people on medicaid. at two and a half% decrease of those enrolled for food stamps. this is the first year in recent memory that enrollments in these programs have dropped. of course not all our economic, and we can be proud of our success in many areas. s.

and south dakota are more likely to stay in south dakota. we have to work even harder to make that happen for rural areas, and that is where we have been focusing our efforts. we have already made important strides. two years ago we expanded the rural health care facilities recruitment program for fields such as registered nurses and physical therapists. as a result of this expansion we have 120 health care professionals that were successfully recruited to 49 rural communities, including communities like fall more, stock or, mission and timber like. we also need more capacity in our educational pro grams. in fiscal year 13 we increase the class size of the men school by four students. in my budget this year i am proposing that we add still another 11 students per class. no in five years we will have 60 more than school students being trained in the state that we did before the expansion began. in the future we must work to and residencies to keep these additional medical graduates doing their residency training right here in south dakota. we

they don't wore be the minimum wage because nobody gets paid it in north dakota.s has paid up to $500 bonus to get people to come to work and it's been done by the private sector, most of that on private land developing oil and gas. now, from your perspective, is this a success story for america or is there something profoundly wrong with north dakota being so prosperous. >> first of all, the geological lottery, where they happen to be on a place on earth where there's fossil fuels that will create more global warming. north dakota has the highest rent, higher than manhattan. the inflation is going up. the people who have been in north dakota for many years are seeing an influx of all kinds of people who, like gold mining, so it's disrupting their way of life. and what they're making in wages is now being eaten up with higher prices. >> ralph, there's a state that has almost as much oils a north dakota does, california. and yet california has decided they don't want to do the drilling, so they have a very high unemployment rate. it's craziness. >> silicon valley.

the presiding officer: the senator from south dakota. north dakota. ms. heitkamp: thank you so much for this opportunity to talk about something that is -- i ask that quorum call be rescinded. the presiding officer: without objection. the senator from north dakota. ms. heitkamp: in north dakota in spite of all of the discussion about our great energy renaissance and all of the above and the new manufacturing and yes, we are going to be a test site for -- for the unmanned aircraft, in north dakota we live and we breathe agriculture. in summer our plains are filled with beautiful sunflowers and canola fields and flax and if you have never seen a field of flax i'll send you a picture. it's the most amazing view especially when the canola is next to the flax. our ranchers take serious provide in their cattle herds that graze around our state. and the wheat, grain, corn and soybeans farmers provide help feed the world and are the best products produced in agriculture today. agriculture also supports 16 million jobs around the country including thousands of man

again, we've seen this up in north dakota and other areas.be right on, within feet of someone's land, but these people are going out there and interacting in the community, they're going to the same places and going that our people frequent. based on what we've seen in north dakota, we can expect some really bad things to happen. >> gary dorr, if the president of the united states was doing this interview right now, what would you say to him? >> i would call out to black eagle as he's known to the native people. i would ask him to look at his own initiative on consultation and these tribes that are all along from montana all the way down to texas. we deserve that consultationment we enjoy a special relationship with the united states as a nation to nation government and as your former nebraska senator last night or congresswoman said, she said that they were not consulted. we don't consult with the states, we consult with the united states of america, the federal government. and that has not been met. in the programmatic agreement, we were no

. >> i would like to add one comment, jack dalrymple from north dakota. we are one of the lucky ones in north dakota. we have a very strong economy. we actually have a budget surplus in our state, so we were able to deal with the effects of sequestration, but they are real. many cases. especially in areas like flood ortrol or water supplies especially roads and highways. we have had to make up for substantial amount of funding with our own state funds. and we feel blessed that we were able to do that, but these are real dollars, and of course we would like it if the federal funding would continue at the levels that it had been, but, you know, we find our way to stay ahead. i think what frustrates people is the silliness that you get into indie sequestration process . of a part-example time information person at our national park system who provided information to tauru tourists on the interstate highway every summer on how to find the park. the total cost of the part-time person was $35,000, and the federal government chose to cut and he got quite a bit o

let's go to north dakota a talk about that.hen we will come back to wyoming. >> one of my favorite topics, thank you. north dakota is the greatest job creator in the nation for the fifth year in a row. what i want to bring up is that we keep talking about how we create opportunities. i think the opportunities are here, now. i see it out there throughout the country, and especially in a place like north dakota. i can advise a young person in north dakota to go through an 18 month program and come out and start at $85,000 a year today. why would that person want to pay yale $200,000 when they can go for 18 months and get paid $85,000? the opportunities are crazy. they are out there. we don't know that really the job is to coach people to get to these opportunities. why are we hearing over and over from the national media that things are so tough and terrible? i see opportunities out there for everybody. energy is an incredible opportunity. i run into people and i say, the u.s. is producing more petroleum than saudi arabia. they q

i never thought i'd be doing this, when i was growing up in myrtle, south dakota. but sometimes opportunities come your way and i think that you have to be prepared for that and obviously look at how you think you can put your gifts to their highest and best use. >> how does job thune make a decision, when -- john thune make a decision, when you're looking at a bill, an issue, what's the process? >> the issues we're dealing with here, the world has gotten very complecated. there's a lot of information coming at you on any particular bill or any particular vote so you surround yourself with good people, people who understand your basic philosophy, and hopefully are keeping themselves very informed on the issues. but then you have to spend a lot of time getting informed. i think in most cases, your decisions are sort of shaped by two things. one is, your sort of core values, conscience, whatever you want to call it. and secondly, informed by the people you represent. you have to stay very much in step with and understand the core of the people you represent on any gi

if you look at north dakota, the average hourly wage in the oil and gas industry in north dakota is $45.90 an hour. i'm a lot more interested in generating lots of jobs at those wage levels where people can provide for their family than continuing the path where more and more people who are struggling lose their jobs. in north dakota which is experiencing a boom because of shale gas and oil, the unemployment rate is 2.6%. in north dakota, does anyone know the hourly pay for a cashier at walmart? $1.50. -- $17.50. in north dakota, mcdonald's is offering a $300 signing bonus because people can make so much in the oil fields it's hard to get people to flip burgers. that's the potential of growth. and i got to tell you it's happening in my home state of texas as well. "the dallas morning news" reported last year that, quote, in west texas, the flood of money and workers into the region is im possible to miss. increased oil revenue is turning around poorer school districts. a high school graduate can earn more than $80,000 driving trucks. from 2001 to 2012, the number of texas upper middle-inco

we ought to duplicate north dakota and that means open up energy production all over the countr country, fracking, you tell me, these five things, i would think the alternative party in the country could agree with? >> well, sean, to quote jerry mcguire, you had me at hello. >> i'm trying to get an answer. >> i completely agree. yes, yes, yes and yes. you're exactly right. but look, that is presenting a positive pro-growth vision. there is a better way. we can bring back economic growth and get people back to work but not continuing down the road of the obama economic policy which is hurting millions of american's all over this country. >> are you seriously considering, a lot of people banter your name out there, are you considering a run for the 2016 presidency? >> well, i appreciate the question. right now i'm trying to win the senate. i think republicans can take control of the senate in 2014. my view as a senator, as a voter, the person who i intend to vote for is whoever is standing up and leading, whoever is effectively leading. i hope everyone stepping up. i hope we have an abund

obviously we have service centers in north dakota, we have rural post offices in north dakota but we have a growing population in north dakota and i can tell you stories about the post office. including my favorite one that i heard of my last trip back, the local lady who delivers mail for years under contract, everybody knew her and she knew everyone, always check in on the elderly, she lost her contract on a cost- saving measure and they hired a company out of california who hired ex-cons who threw the mail in the ditch. that is the way i look at the post office these days, through the eyes of my constituents who, let me tell you, you might think that is an isolated story but i could go on for at least 20 hours telling you about the post office. but my interest in doing this and doing this amendment is trying to have some accountability for what is going on as they make decisions, whether it is service centers, whether it is going forward. i know it looks like a fair amount of increase in bureaucracy, but from my standpoint, we cannot just sit idly by without some accountability to
