right now, the washington echo chamber is in full throttle. it is as deafening as it has ever been. as we come to that final vote, the echo chambers telling members of congress to think about the politics instead of thinking about doing the right thing. that is what mitch mcconnell said this weekend. his main argument was that this will be really bad for democrats politically. first of all, i generally would not take advice about what is good for democrats. [laughter] [applause] but setting aside that, that is not the issue here. the issue here is not the politics of it. but that is what members of congress are hearing right now on the cable shows and the gossip columns in washington. it is telling congress that comprehensive reform has failed before. remember what happened to clinton. it may be too politically hard. yes, it is hard. it is hard. that is because health care is complicated. healthcare is a hard issue. it is easily misrepresented. it is easily misunderstood. so it is hard for some members of congress to make this vote. there is no heart -- there's no doubt about that.

he closed the speech by echoing the words of the civil rights moment and he said over and over again, and we shall overcome, and we shall overcome. i was sitting next to martin luther king jr. at a home in a local -- at a home in selma when he said, we shall overcome, and tears came down martin luther king. and we all cried when we heard the president say, we shall overcome. and dr. king said, john, we will make it from selma to montgomery, and the voting rights act will be passed. congress did pass the voting rights act, and on august 6, 1965, it was signed into law by the president. now, mr. speaker, this past weekend we heard from the majority leader and my colleagues, mr. cohen, that we went back to selma along with mike pence and senator brownback and several others, the faith and politics institute, on a journey. during this journey we brought our fellow members of congress on this unbelievable trip of the historic civil rights act, not just in selma but montgomery and birmingham. we ended our time together in selma by crossing one more time on the edmund pettus bridge, crossing

it was in a way that echoed the declaration of independence, the inalienable rights, life, liberty, ande basically the declaration of independence or echoed closely [unintelligible] there was a very defined meaning there was a very defined meaning of privileges or ies as the protection of substantive fundamental rights. the congressional debate about the 14th amendment very clearly indicates that the privileges or immunities clause were supposed to incorporate the protections of the bill of rights against the state's and protect other enumerated or unenumerated fundamental rights. the clear statement of that is one by jake -- by jacob howard, a senator from michigan. he was designated by the joint committee to present the 14th amendment to the senate. he does so in a speech that ways out clearly that privileges and immunities are a broader set of substantive liberties. that is echoed by a number of critical framers and founders of the 14th amendment and is not really disputed even by the opponents of the amendment. the fourth point is a little technical. the awarding -- the wording is b

commissioners, regardless of administration over many years now have echoed these same concerned, and it does reflect the complexity of trying to assure, especially in the world of internet sales, that the products that are being purchased are what they purr port to be, and being able to assure that while a product may be f.d.a. approved for use in the united states, when that same product is actually manufactured elsewhere, it is not manufactured with the exact same specifications that is manufactured for use in the united states, and that can have very important implications for patients. if it is a different formulation, different bio of quifflepts. it may require a different dosing schedule. it may be formulated even with other components. and of course the labeling for use may be different from what f.d.a. reviews and approves. so we need to have a program that can really get into that level of analysis to assure that patients get what they need, that their health care providers as well as the patient understand what may be different about these drugs even though they have the sa

this is echoes of the words we heard in this chamber in 1993, when members of the other side said the clinton economic plan would be a job killer. the former chairman of the budget committee, our friend from ohio said at that time that if the plan worked, he would become a democrat. well, he didn't become a democrat, but the plan worked. it created 23 million new jobs after it was passed. so it's a speeshous claim of deficit reduction. some say the deficit reduction will go up. around here, we don't rely on hear say. we rely on the congressional budget office and here's what they said. they said the deficit will go down by $138 billion in the first 10 years and over $1.2 trillion in the next 10. with all due respect, the men and women who serve this country in the cold war served honestly and always gave a fair accounting of what they do. when we hear these remarks on the floor, they are not an accurate representation of facts and they frankly do dishonor to this bill and this debate. . the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from colorado. mr. lamborn

as we come to the final vote, the echo chamber says, think about the politics. instead of thinking about doing the right thing. that is what mcconnell said this weekend. his main argument was, the schoothis will be bad for democ. i would not take that advice. but setting aside that, that is not the issue here. the issue here is not the politics of it. but that is what members of congress are hearing right now on the table shows and the gossip' columns in washington. it is telling congress comprehensive reform has felt before. remember what happened to clinton. yes, it's hard. it's hard. health care is complicated. health care ills a hard issue. it is easily misrepresented and miss understood. it's hard for some members of congress -- and misunderstood. there's no doubt. what else is hard is what leslie and her family is going through. that is hard.

i echo the sentiments of secretary clinton. i think the prospects are quite good.e president has been very realistic in terms -- the president discussed that there might not be able to have zero nuclear weapons in his lifetime. others are attempting to develop them. we will do this in a realistic way some of the other steps of trying to get control of fissile material, these are concrete steps to move in that direction that i don't think anyone expects us to come close to. >> to what degree will missile offensive be addressed? is there some kind of linkage on future plans with the u.s.? is any concerns you have about russia? >> can i ask the undersecretary to address this? >> president obama and president medvedev of discussed this agreement. this is a strategic offensive weapons treaty and there is a relationship. that is where this discussion ended. when you see the treaty and the protocol, they are -- on missile defense. when it comes to romania, the approach is in phases. we have gone too extensive lengths to brief the russians. frankly, most of the status revi

i want to echo that what we are talking about is that this is a hearing not to discuss if we're going repeal don't ask, don't tell. it is clear that secretary gates and barack obama are going to repeal the law. the question is how the services implement the repeal to make sure there is no disruption to the force. i am grateful that you volunteered to co-chair this working group. we should move forward with care. we should also understand that this review cannot be an excuse for july. a repeal must be a dual track process. the working group of the services must figure how to implement the changes but it is the duty of congress to change the law. there is no reason why these things cannot happen simultaneously. the 2010 defense authorization act did not become law until october 28, to test nine. the 2009 became law in 2008. my point is that if we repeal don't ask, don't tell and the fiscal year 2011 defense bill, it will not likely become law until at least seven months from today. secretary gates stated that the working group should finish work by december 1 of this year. congress coul

that is echoed by >> that is exactly by a number of critical framers and founders of the 14th amendment. really not disputed even by the opponents of the amendment. 4th point is a little technical. that is the wording of the 14th amendment while similar to the article 4 privileges and immunities clause is broader in important ways. the most important is that the article four privileges and immunities clause is really a quality provision or nondiscrimination provision that prevents discrimination of the privileges and immunities. whereas the 14th amendment is really a guarantees of rights. next point is that the founders of the 14th amendment, and that's really where we get to this case, the founders of 14th amendment intended that the right to bear arms would be a privilege or immunity of the united states citizenship. this is a very clear point made in the history. and it's a surprising -- it's for a surprising reason. i think we debated heller and just ties had thisball back and forth. we are all talking about the history from 1878 to 1891 when we rad if id to the bill of rights. i th

it reflects the fact that for the moment, given the echoes of this crisis the most responsible thingo is make sure we are providing the support and investments to lay a foundation for strong sustainable private sector growth and these things need to be temporary and targeted which is why we proposed in the present budget to begin the process in fiscal year 2011 to bringing down the deficit over time. to your third question, today the american people are providing most of the financing to our deficits for temporarily exceptionally high deficits. over in the last year or so we have seen the savings rate of americans start to rise again. it has risen from a modest negative to the positive 4% territory. our current account deficit which we are borrowing from the rest of the world has fallen sharply. if you just step back what you have seen so far is a very high level of confidence among foreign investors in our financial system and a willingness of americans to provide financing the government needs to get through this crisis but you are absolutely right to underscore the fact that these

[laughter] that's the critical advice. right. buy many. it's a pleasure to be here with ken and with lee and with jeff feltman who i think i came to know mostly as ambassador to lebanon where i think he provided a model of what good an american ambassador can do if he understands how to use the resources and reputation of the united states and of the department of state fully. that isn't the last nice thing i'm going to say. [laughter] i do want to -- [laughter] >> the exit's right here. >> i do want to, i want to divide my remarks, which will be brief, into four categories, and it won't cover the whole spectrum. but human rights, iran, syria/lebanon, israel/palestine. and talk about this past year. i was going to say and leave it at that that i thi

hiring plans, and i think this echoes what mr. that we all referred to in our testimony. coming to the issue that you raise about the long-term unemployed -- in both of our prepared remarks, mr. joerres and i referred to training. the history of training programs is, to some extent, a checkered one. the importance of training cannot be denied -- the importance of education. there is a short-term and long- term component. in the short term, i propose that repair the unemployed who are getting income support which is very much needed with a pool of unemployed, for example college students or teachers who have been laid off, and get them together in a training program that can give people basic job skills. in that way, you are giving people important things to do while they are looking for a job. i think we all agree that when you have long spells of joblessness that erodes the chances you are going to get a new job. it erodes your skills and it arose your ability to find a new job. all of those things are important. >> do you see an

. >> can i first of all echo what the prime minister said about michael, i will say i did not serve with him but i always admired his writing, his brilliant or a tree and his dedication to this house of commons. what i did not agree with much of what he said, at least about the soviet union and disarmament. he held all hoosiers with conviction and with passion, and that is how we should remember him. can i also join the prime minister in paying tribute to the for serviceman who lost their lives in afghanistan in the last seven days. corporal stephen thompson, rifleman jonathon allott, rifleman liam maughan. we pay tribute to their bravery and their service and does the prime minister said, we will not forget what they have done. yesterday we had the inquest into the deaths of four soldiers in afghanistan in 2008. at the time the defense minister, the honorable member, link to their deaths to the commanders choice of vehicle. this was flatly contradicted by what the coroner said. so will the prime minister now apologize on behalf of his minister? >> the minister apologized at the time and

i mention the fact that the consumer movement worked as an echo chamber for what was being done. the consumer movement was essentially a throwback to the classical progressive era, and there are many elements in the consumer movement that weren't interested in distribution of power. the consumer concept comes back to 1914. so it's like this is a -- this was a concept out of an era in the united states that was very corporatist, in which people believed in top-down control. you basically had to some extent an alliance between what you could call the laissez-faire people, which is essentially let the people who control our private corporations, and then you have the people who expected to pick if the power afterward,s, who said, once those people screw up, we will have control. it's happened various times. it just happened now. we have this corporatist right now. so, one of the things we have to do is to understand the rate to which people are on the left have helped to lay the groundwork for this revolution that was affected by the chicago scores. >> i'm a generation of the major

just a kind of a polarization of both sides, and we can see that this happened through the kind of echohat happen on both the right and the left through partis partisan glogs and the use of social media has a way of hardening both sides of the debate. >> reading the comments. i'm going to wrap it up. mark zimmer, thank you, quick, what's the solution? where do we go from here? really quickly. >> we need to change the language. in addition to changing the language we also need to change our practice and address this in the country. >> same thing, tim. five seconds. >> mark's right. we have to bring me back and i'll tell you more. >> thanks to all of you. ben zimmer, mark and tim. we appreciate the conversation and appreciate our viewers weighing in as well. >>> coming up, we have seen the suffering and damage from several earthquakes abroad, but did you know that an equally powerful quake could hit the southern u.s.? we'll take you to the say that was hit by the strongest earthquake east of the mississippi river. designed to match both the realities... of today's business world and your

i want to echo what my fellow panelists have said. i just been used to differ reduce. one that was $2 per words of a lot of edits another publication that paid o $300 and i was never through an editing process like this before in my life i think i end of me gained 1 penny for this review because it is not something we do for the money so before we get to the question of what types of reviews are out there you have all mentioned why you do it how it comes to you professionally but let's talk about the people who were reading the reviews for a moment. what are they looking for and what have you learned about what they need? our book reviews important to them anymore? should i volunteer or go down the line? >> as a science person there is a specific person and some of that is in a sense tiny the public how much they can trust a book and i feel that my role as a reviewer of the science three -- book is to say does this could face scions for the public in the excess the ball and accurate way and telling a story to be interesting to them? what i did not too long ago ever som

. >> the gentleman's time has expired and i thank him for echoing some of my sentiments on these issues, and an unusual occurrence. and, given the time, if it is all right with you i'm going to recognize myself-- no, i am sorry, mr. rohrabacher is here. you are next mr. rohrabacher. the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman. how much aid have we provided to afghanistan since 2001? >> i am not sure the precise number since 2001. >> how much have we provided this year? >> this year we are proposing in the fy2011 budget that we would be spending 3.9 billion dollars, and that is down from 4.4 billion in 2010 when you include the supplemental amount with the inactive amount. >> okay, and how much will we be providing iraq? >> i believe that is going down as well from $700 million to $400 million but i will doublecheck those numbers for you. >> so iraq-- what are some of the programs we are spending 400 million for in iraq? >> which programs are priorities in iraq? our immediate priority is support for the elections and successfully completing the elections and w

this tactic echos the shtick from senator grassley last week, taking credit for certain elements of theen though he voted against the bill and he was propagating the death panels are in the bill lie. in the meantime, a day after a health insurance industry attorney insisted it did not have to offer coverage to children with pre-existing conditions for four years, the industry backed down. karen ignani saying that the industry intends to fully comply, this in a letter to health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius. ms. sebelius stated her intention to create new regulations that would remove any doubt about kids with preexisting conditions 47% of respondents favoring appeal. ignored. 50% do not. that would be more. of that 50% more than half want more reform and more government involvement in health care. let's get back to mr. cornyn's memo and turn to the senior editor of "the atlantic" magazine, josh green. josh, thanks for your time tonight. >> good to be with you, keith. >> the republican line will be give us credit for the good stuff in the bill even though each and every

. >> holman: at a briefing later, speaker nancy pelosi echoed the optimism. >> i'm very excited about the momentum that is developing around the bill. i say to you every time i see you-- one day closer to passing historic legislation, which will make history... of course, but progress for the american people. >> holman: the house leaders posted their final version online yesterday. the so-called reconciliation bill shares features with the measure that already passed the senate. both would extend coverage to more than 30 million americans; require every american to obtain insurance by 2014 or face a penalty; provide subsidies to buy coverage for families of four earning less than $88,000 a year; and ban insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. the house measure also makes changes to the senate bill. it would drop a special medicaid deal for nebraska and add more medicaid funding for all states. >> we do want the language to be closer to what we had in the house bill, because that represented a compromise between those who have a legitimate concern about t
