setothe key is that sweden and denmark started with a very high tax rate in the 1980's. you cannot raise taxes much beyond 42% of the economy. it gets very inefficient. there are natural limits on how much you can spend on health care. it is an unfortunate way to do it. i think everybody recognizes that, in order to feed health care, you have to raise taxes. there's really no other way. sooner or later, we will reach limits, which the united states is not comfortable with. the third point is that there's a lot of inefficiency on health care. here is a map of the dartmouth at less referral regions. there is a lot of money going on. if you count out the last time differences in medicare expenditures between los angeles and minneapolis, you end up with a really nice car.

why denmark likes why germany? why the netherlands as opposed to the u.s.?ome hints that this is a scatter diagram and shows as before the change over time in gdp on health care spending and again you can find u.s. in the upper left-hand corner which is 7%. and you notice the sweden and denmark on the lower right-hand corner down below, 1%,. the key is that sweden and denmark started with a high tax rates in the 1980's. you can't raise taxes much beyond 42% of the economy. it gets very, very, very inefficient. you can show this theoretically but you can see this empirically. their natural limits of how much you can spend on health care. it's a very unfortunate way to do it, but it will happen. and i think everybody recognizes in order to basically feed health care you have to raise taxes. there's really no other way. i think that sooner or later you're going to start reaching limits that the united states is not comfortable with. >> u.s. two more minutes. >> okay, the third point and this is something getting back to tom's points as well as that there's lots

the one who tried to kill the cartoonist in denmark last week. people are always afraid of the ai in the north -- aqim in north africa. there are almost no al qaeda in afghanistan. if we trace back plots that have any connection to terrorist groups in the west in the last eight years, we see that nine are traced back to afghanistan. -- none car traced back to afghanistan. there were all traced back to pakistan and now to yemen in somalia. so, in order to promote national security here, we need to focus on the group that can project to the west. and those are the groups i just mentioned. the afghan insurgents do not project to the west. they have a domestic agenda. ok, so, what our our stated goals for being in afghanistan? to disrupt, dismantle, defeat al qaeda and its allies. this is mostly done for the destruction and dismantling in afghanistan. they have moved to the fatah, as pointed out by bruce. we have not defeated al qaeda. al qaeda was not dead, as was shown last week by the killing of the cia officers. ok, so what is the search going to

>> that's a good question, brian, in denmark they looked at this, a state based health care and resources were pretty much the same, they doesn't see a difference in socioeconomic groups and that points to the fact maybe there are some kids falling through the cracks. unfortunately, this is another study, can't tell us the awes of it. it's a devastating developmental disorder, but perhaps there are even children falling through the cracks who don't have the resources. >> brian: dr. leigh vinocur, good to have you here as always. >> a pleasure. >> brian: a mexican priest is gaining attention in the u.s. for unorthodox practices when it comes to church sacraments. casey stegall has more on this, hello, casey. >> reporter: brian, good to see you, we're talking about sacraments inside the roman catholic church. well, there are very strict rules. they're usually done by a parish, by a priest and almost always done for free. in fact, charging for sacraments is one of the oldest transgressions of the church, but apparently, happening more and more here in america according to clergy, especially

the speaker of the denmark's parliament says that climate change is not a real threat to and it is dangerous to talk about it. the president of south africa says that hiv does not cause aids. >> if democracy is so messy, are you suggesting an alternative? here is the microphone. here's your podium >> going forward, i think that is the role of people -- here's your podium. >> going for, i think that is the role. the balance of power is greater than it has ever been. you can take advantage of those pools to give poor nations a greater voice. you can understand the effects of climate change next year. that is the role of these new forms of communication. we're not going to get it from the coal energy giants. we're not going to get it from the people of con . . . . it, individual responsibility, a change in behavior? there is a popular school of thought known as nudge. it is a big brother who encourages you to encourage you -- who encourages you to do the right thing. is there something from the bottom up that could lead people to put down the cheeseburger and switch out to their inefficient liv

let's go to our next caller in denmark. scott, an independent line. caller: he should have conservative members of the house and senate. it started to work really well when president clinton had that. i believe that they all got things accomplished and we were prosperous. as far as that first caller, it is typical progressive thinking to say that everything is races against the president. but it is the progressive policies that he wants to take over the country. i believe that compromises would be better suited with, not necessarily republican, but conservative thinking. in the united states here, we have a gentleman in the state assembly that is under the democratic ticket but is also a conservative, many people also agree with him. i'd think it works better that way. thank you. host: looking at a piece from "the washington post, the race in maryland, what could happen? looking at what is happening there with more of an interest, the gop wanting to look good in maryland for governor. "a string of republican victories has raised the stakes considerabl

it was our defense and now the fellow who tried to kill the cartoonist in denmark last week, the underwear bomber, and people are always afraid of north africa, so there are few afghans in al qaeda and almost no how can it in afghanistan. if we train the cloth that have a connection to afghanistan, non are traced back to afghanistan. those are traced back to terrorist groups. they all trade back to pakistan, so in order to actually promote national security, we need to focus on the group that can protect the west, and those are the groups i just mentioned. the afghan insurgents do not project to the west. they have a domestic agenda. what are our stated goals in afghanistan? to defeat outcry debt and its allies. this is mostly done for the destruction, so we have not defeated al qaeda. al qaeda is not dead as was shown last week by the killing of the cia officer. what is the surge going to do for the next 18 months it is going to depend on implementation, and it is going to very -- vary. some will be good, and those will be trumpeted in washington. those that are bad and will be trumpeted.

and above denmark and chili. host: that's right. for the first time the united states is second place in north america in terms of economic freedom. canada is freer. host: is this because of efforts such as the tarp funds that were distributed and the stimulus? guest: that's right. host: that are there others? guest: it was the underlying factor that just went into so many of the other variables. there are ten variables in the index. tarp. that is the government intervention into financial markets to break contracts, to regulate pay, to essentially take the aut motive industry and put it under the protection of the united states government. from one perspective people can say, well, it was something we needed to do. but when we're looking at the index, we're comparing 179 countries against standards and they're all held opt same standard. the united states is on the same as bangladesh and we found that this intervention just contravenes so many of the principles that are in the index that they lost score, significantly in financial

a chicago resident was arrested for his role in planning a terrorist attack in denmark and assisting the deadly 2008 mumbai attacks. and of course, the killing of a young army recruiter in arkansas in may and the tragic shootings at fort hood in november are examples were blown extremists have struck military here at home. last year's cases demonstrate the diversity of new threats we face, some involve self radicalized terrorists, influenced by the internet or their time in prison. others receive training or guidance or known terrorist organizations brought either in person or over the internet. and the targets of the attacks range from civilians to government facilities to transportation infrastructure and to the military both in the united states and overseas. on christmas day, the attempted bombing of northwest flight 253 has made it clear that the threat of attack from al qaeda and its affiliates continues to this day and we can and must do more in response to these threats. as directed by the president, the fbi has joined with our partners in the intelligence and law enforcement

long time leaders like norway, sweden, denmark, the netherlands, the u.k., japan, and others continueto reach billions through their longstanding work in dozens of countries. multilateral organizations like the world bank, the imf, the undp, the global fund to fight aids, tuberculosis, and malaria have the reach and resources to do what countries working alone cannot, along with valuable expertise in infrastructure, health, and finance initiatives. nonprofits like the gates foundation, care, the clinton foundation, oxfam international, networks of ngos like interaction, as well as smaller organizations like a sea on -- accion and transparency international bring their own resources, deep knowledge, and commitment to humanitarian missions that complement our work in critical ways. some foundations are combining philanthropy and capitalism in a very innovative approach, like the acumen fund. universities are engaging in critical research, but the so- called urgent problems like hundred and disease, and to improve the work of development, like the work of the poverty action lab at mit. e

making a lot of profit, not a way of creating increase homeownership so a lot of the great ideas from denmarknd elsewhere sounds great but, you know, you are talking about getting people into homeownership. what we are talking about is a malfeasance and regulated industry there's a lot to get away with murder and hopefully we have a congress that has i have to think of a nice word to do this, has the fortitude to change the system so we return to ethics and law in our system of regulating financial service sectors. >> ralph, you have a question? >> a degette was in 1988 or 1978 we worked to get the alone passed -- [inaudible] what is your view on the promise of the bank and failure of that bank and monitoring of the bank to provide the loans for housing but also to hit a low income development?

recognize that these islands were then occupied by foreign nations, england, holland, france, and denmark, a period that saw the native people enslaved and driven almost to extinction. remainings of these times can be found on the land protected in this bill as well. it is not only the history and culture found in the continental united states that matters, but st. croix is a part of these united states and we owe it to those who live there now and those who were there long before this nation came into being to value this history and to respect this culture. this legislation does that. this legislation deserves our support. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. all time for debate has expired. pursuant to house resolution 1038, the previous question is ordered on the bill as amended. the question on engrossment and third reading of the bill. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. third reading. the clerk: union calendar number 230, h.r. 3726, a bill to establish the castle nugent nati
