this is expiration day, too.e of that may be accounting for this rally, too. >> and we're at new highs, by the way. 2108 here on the dow jones industrial -- excuse me on the s&p 500. we have quietly moved up to new highs. i'm happy they got the press conference, this got resolved before the markets closed. it was a great way to end the week. the important thing is they asked the head of the euro group, could greece survive without a third bailout. this agreement is going to expire. he said there would be discussions beginning on a possible follow-up arrangement. this is opening the door to the possibility of a new deal. >> does that mean we will be here again in four months? >> yes. it certainly kicked the can. the problem is they didn't want to let them leave and they didn't want a new arrangement. what do you do? you kick the can. >> so do you buy europe here? i think you were buying european stocks anyway. >> we talked last week the european hedged index is up 12% this year. in dollar terms -- in euro terms it

funding expire. other republicans suggest the preliminary texas district court injunction which blocks implementation of the president's executive actions on immigration is reason enough to continue holding hostage the funding for homeland security. these are dangerously wrong conclusions. secretary johnson and agency heads have warned that if the c.r. is allowed to expire, national security operations will be disrupted and essential personnel will be required to work without pay. they also warn passing another c.r. will not address the uncertainty of being able to meet our long-term national security needs. our national security cannot wait for the unrelated issue of the president's executive actions on immigration to work its way through the judicial process, which at best is likely to take several months. by contrast democrats have a responsible solution. two weeks ago, appropriations committee ranking member nita lowey, and i introduced h.r. 861. it is a clean appropriations bill that funds the d

my time has expired. thank you. >> the time of the gentle lady expired. the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. mchenry, vice chairman of the committee. >> director watt, thank you. good to see you again. and always good to see on the plane coming back and forth from your former district in charlotte. >> congratulations on that beautiful baby. >> thank you. thank you, mel. i appreciate it. i appreciate your kindness and friendship over the years. we have been able to have conversations even when we disagree about issues. and so i just want to ask you a few questions. but, you know, you know me fairly well. i figured at some point you'll cut me off here. so it seems that we have some conflicting actions you've taken. one is you suspend the g fees, right? and you move away from risk based pricing. at the same time you start up holding reserves to the housing trust fund and allocating capital housing trust fund. one respect you're conserving capital for an assessment, and the other you're moving capital away from the enterprise. how do yo

we've had these provisions in law, they've already expired. so here we are acting under retroactivity already. it's time to get rid of these short-term fixes and embrace long-term solutions. this legislation simply makes the provisions permanent, encourages companies to donate food to help feed the hungry, it makes it he's area foreindividuals who might want to -- makes it easier for individuals who might want to use their i.r.a. money to help charitable organizations. it intend advises land owners to -- it incentivizes landowners. i want to address one other provision that's in this bill that i actually offered -- authored with my colleague, mr. davis from illinois. to help simplify the tax code for private foundations. he's been a strong advocate in leading this effort. i think we would all agree that private foundations make a world of difference in our communities. we have them in our states. in minnesota we have 1,400 donations that donate a billion dollars a year an yull to those in need -- annually to those in need. these are really imp

so that's why we got stuck with the expired product, is 'cause we ordered too much.monis: this is all expired? -john: yes. lemonis: why don't we just throw them out? john: 'cause that's like $4,000. lemonis: why'd you buy this much? becky: let's have that argument again. john: he's asking you a question. lemonis: it's not an argument. i'm just asking a question. i mean, we're selling expired merchandise. i'm just curious. becky: i ordered enough for a year. lemonis: you made a huge inventory mistake. becky: i'll cart them out of here in my [bleep] car 'cause i'm sick of hearing about the [bleep] smoothies, honest to god. lemonis: but, no, it's not the smoothies that i have a problem with. what i have a problem with is not having an inventory system and an ordering system. and when you make a mistake, you just have to understand that it was a costly mistake. becky: yes. lemonis: i can't stress enough how important it is for any business to have an inventory system. a simple spreadsheet would have saved john and becky from having to throw out thousands of dollars of ex

all time for debate has expired. pursuant to house resolution 121, the previous question is ordered on the bill as amended. the question is on engrossment and third reading of the bill. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. third reading. the clerk: a bill to amend the internal revenue code of 1986 to improve 529 plans. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> i have a motion to recommit at the desk. the speaker pro tempore: is the gentleman opposed to the bill? >> i'm opposed to it in its current form. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the motion. the clerk will suspend. for what purpose does the gentlelady from kansas seek recognition? ms. jenkins: i reserve a point of order. the speaker pro tempore: the point of order is reserved. the clerk: mr. ted lieu moves to recommit with the following amendment. add at the end the following, parents right to know brokerage fees and impact. section 529 d of the internal revenue code i

what's what we're proposing. >> the gentleman's time has expired. mr. ryan is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. congratulations on your promotion. we live in a society today where we put our food in the microwave and hit a button and hope in 35 seconds we've got a hot meal. if we're driving around we can go to fast food restaurant and immediately eat. if we get on the internet we try to click and if a web page doesn't come up in 2.5 seconds we're upset that we can't access it quick enough. i understand that urgency that we all have culturely now. i think this hearing there's a high level of delusion coming from my friends on the other side. i say that with all due respect. no one talked about the previous decade on how we got to a point where our deficits were almost 10% with a complete economic collapse. it wasn't our economic philosophy implemented at that point. it was yours. you had the house senate you implemented supply side economics. you deregulated the markets. you fund the police on the beats and make sure everything was happening in

it expires in three years. as a country we decide we want to keep fighting after that three-year period, we certainly can. but congress would have to take another vote. >> so this resolution will give our armed forces and our coalition the continuity we need for the next three years. it is not a timetable, it is not announcing that the mission is completed at any given period. what it is saying is that congress should revisit the issue at the beginning of the next president's term. >> if the case is compelling enough, that men and women from america's armed forces should be put in harm's way, in a war context, because the case is so compelling that we need to be doing that, then it shouldn't be that big of a problem to win a vote in congress for them to do that. that's the way it's set up, right? but the timing, the three-year timetable, that would be awkward. if the congress passes this resolution that president obama proposed today, to give legal authority to fight the war against isis, it would expire 2015,
