greta goodwin of gao, who's testifying before the committee for the first time. and i presume you're very aware of what goes on here. i always compliment the gao because i find them so helpful for so many of my investigations and i -- i think you do good work for us. i look forward to hearing. now i go to senator klobuchar. sen. klobuchar: well, thank you very much, mr. chairman. and thank you for holding this important hearing along with senator cornyn. we led that bill of the justice for victims of trafficking act. it wasn't an easy bill to pass, but i am pleased that people came together and supported that bill because as much as we talk about the problem of sex trafficking internationally, it's the third biggest criminal enterprise -- human trafficking is -- across the world after illegal drugs, illegal guns but we really can't be a beacon on this issue until we clean up our own shop here at home. and that's what the justice for victims of trafficking act was focused on. i think sometimes people think that this is a distant issue something that only happens i

one amendment would require gao to do a study on whether an extension. probationary period is in fact required. the second amendment would exempt from the moratorium imposed by title 6 any rule that's been included in the u.s. regulatory agenda for at least one year. the third amendment would strike the language in title 5 requiring the office of personnel management to include in its annual report an official time, a description of any space designated at agencies for official time activities. mr. chair, in anticipation of a hopeful response on approving those amendments, i have myself restrained myself and offered no amendments to this bill. i thank you for your patience and your understanding. >> mr. connolly, thank you very much. miss holmes norton, you're now recognized. welcome. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman, and may i say how delighted i am to be before this committee on a matter not involving the interference with the rights of the district of columbia. >> my amendment would strike certain sections of the bill, 402, 405, 405b, 406, 407 and

tom friedman: let's talk about the gao and geopolitical impact.ith these accelerations, they are actually exploding these states, and exploding the politics. what do i mean? there is a whole set of states whose borders are primarily straight lines. in my view these are deeply artificial states and they were propped up by the cold war. you had two world powers throw money at them. there was no china, no robots. the cold war was a good time to be a kind of flimsy little state. now you take all of that away, climate change is here, much more population, china can take all your low-wage labor. what you see is a lot of these states can't make it. some we have tipped over. in the case of iraq, they took themselves over. the borders with straight lines are artificial. they are like caravan homes in a trailer park. they are built on a slab of cement with no foundation. no basement. accelerations are, they are like a hurricane going through a trailer park. i have been to niger and senegal. all these weak states, they are basically being exploded by these f

well, they've read the pentagon audits and the gao reports and the "60 minute" exposes and so on. it's horrendously inflated. waste, fraud, abuse is only part of it. we're still building cost-overrun military weapons systems dedesigned for the sovit union era of hostility. like, the f-22 should never be built. you could put it on this stage. that's how much $200 million of elecectronics cost, profit in overruns. why are we building more submarines, nuclear submarines? one trident submarine--nuclear warheads can destroy 200 cities. that's beforore it reloads. why are we building more aircraft carriers, $15 billion a carrier? we got 13. the next country to challenge us is italyly, has two. [laughter] it's the military industrial complex that eieisenhowower ward us against. people don't like that. they'd rather have that money go where eisenhower wanted it to go in his famous "cross of iron" speech that you can look up on the internet--april 1953, when he said, "is this the way we want to live? we can wipe out the soviet union. they can wipe us out." and then he did what no other pre

the gao has said this. you can do it for workers going forward, new workers coming into the system.is that unions push back on that because you're sharing risk as opposed to giving a guarantee. that's the bottom line. >> yeah, that's the bottom line. but remember, we were pointing about how california cities like stockton and san bern dean though were tipping into bankruptcy? they hit the bondholders, this is a nationwide crisis going on. the political will, though, has to be behind it. charles: liz macdonald, thank you very much. >> sure.charles charles anheuser-busch inwe have raising their after after that british exit vote had an impact on the british pound. scott martin on why the details, why this deal is actually getting a rubber stamp in an era, in an administration that hates big deals, why let the biggest deal of them all go through, scott? >> yeah, it's pretty interesting, charles. obviously, there's some politics at play here. some of the deals you're talking about have been in the health care space that the government has been meddling in. this one's interesting, you me

the gao report on refundable tax credits that came out last month gave some specific examples of kind of the odd and counterintuitive results that these rules can have. it is time we think outside of the box in developing alternatives because the policy objective is clear. supplementing help for children who are being reared by workers, whose earnings fall short of supporting themselves and those they care for. in carrying out this policy, if our rules are unrealistic, then non-compliance is inevitable. regarding the mechanics of how the irs operates, we must stop this insane project of budgetarily starving the agency, whether it's to force it to improve or to obliterate it, the irs must have the resources to carry out its assignedded responsiblities effectively and efficiently, otherwise, you well, you get what you pay for. the irs i say needs to be quick on its feet turning away from some of the traditional look back way we do tax administration. taking corrective action overly after returns are processed and refunds are gone. we need to look at opportunities to look now. and in rec

the other thing was that gao would do a follow-up review of the analysis to make sure it is accurate before the flights began. would you agree with that? >> yes. >> all right. thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. before i begin my questions, i'm going to start with you, mr. s rasmussen, i'd like to make an fyi to the secretary and director. you probably already know there's been a task force being created, chaired by the chairman on the judiciary and ranking member looking at police accountant and aggression towards law enforcement. six republicans, six democrats. we're going to try to do this in a bipartisan way. we're going to try not to retreat to the same tired corners and talking points on this issue because the reality is, whether you're this color of your skin is black or brown or your uniform is blue, you shouldn't be afraid of being targeted when you walk the streets in the united states. my good friend and fellow texan, sheila jackson lee, is on the committee as well. as well as my friend cedric richmond from louisiana. we would welcome y'all's perspective and number of y
