we have more than 12,000 hoosiers employed by german companies. and more to come. hoosiers have had a long standing interest in issues affecting the nation at home and abroad. i'm no different than that. but when i was there, i thought it was important to speak about what i believe would be the right response to russian aggression in ukraine. i'm pleased to hear there are more sanctions maybe coming tomorrow. the truth of the matter is i think we need less talk and more deeds. and bypassing and moving rapidly to pass the transatlantic trade partnership and frankly by deploying a robust missile shield throughout europe including in poland and the czech republic that was off lined in 2009 by this administration would send a very strong message to putin and to russia that nato countries and the united states are going to respond by growing stronger economically and strategically. i believe that -- i believe that's going to have a lot more influence in the long haul than more sanctions and more talk. however mayor torous those are, at the end of the day, i think i've a

particularly affordable housing those units represents one of our chapter itself opportunities to make hoosiers available now. the housing authority estimates we can bring those online for one hundred and 15 thousand a unit we can do that quickly depending on the construction of affordable housing to fruition. the cities 2013 survey found families including hundreds of children is homeless in san francisco. there's, in fact, a church that is used as a shelter in 25 to 50 families use the shelter almost every evening there's no facilities and showers only a few toilets and sinks. we shouldn't allow those units to be vacant when we have shelters that are empty. in february of this year we were projected a surplus in new and unanticipated revenue. i know this is not something we traditionally do we have not duplicate ♪ the past we earmark funds but we contacting can't use 1960 policies we have in san francisco in 2014

working with over 150 classroom teachers and college and university faculty, as well as input from hoosiers all over the state, to write our own standards. gretchen, i just believe as i did throughout my years in congress, that education is a state and local function. decisions about standards, our curriculum or textbooks are best made by the families, the parents and the communities that rely on them. i'm proud of our state for stepping forward. i think we're leading the way on reaffirming that principle that education is a state and local function. and i'm proud of the process and the standards we're creating. >> it's a very divisive issue, even within the same parties. glad to have you on the program to explain your decision. governor, thanks for your time. >>> a major drug bust in a suburb targeting wealthy kids in high school and college. who just got busted and their surprising connection to the school. >>> and new information on the teenage stowaway. >>> and george h.w. bush is known for his sock collection. now you can own a pair. we want to know, which of the former president's soc

now other states may follow the hoosier lead. mike in chicago on this.>> we could be looking at the beginning of a domino effect. oklahoma senate approved a house bill rejecting common core. indiana was the first to turn back on this national set of standards. the program is intended to elevate the performance of struggling schools. schools say a federal overreach, take over and does not nurture schools that are performing well. >> while some states may have needed to improve their standards, settling for a status quo of mediocrity for every state certainly shouldn't be the answer. we should be striving for something much higher than that. >> wisconsin and kentucky are also exploring the potential of pulling out of common core. the program does have its supporters, republican governor of michigan rick snyder is one of them. >> curriculum itself and how it's taught is at the local level. bringing the high standards with common core and flexibility in the local school district and the school with the teachers on how that gets applied and delivered to the s

when i tour businesses in the eighth district of indiana and meet with hoosier families, they tell me they are concerned about the enormous debt burdening our country. just like hoosier families and businesses that have to make hard decision when is money is tight, washington must do the same in order to sustain our role as the leader in the free world. we are over $17 trillion in debt, it's clear washington, d.c. has a spending problem, and there are two very different pathways to address this issue. my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would continue us on the failed status pathway of more spending, more taxes, more debt. their plan does not address the long-term drivers of our debt. it raises taxes on families who are already struggling to make ends meet, and has no intention of balancing ever. it does nothing to protect and strengthen the medicare safety net promised to our seniors. put simply, their plan does not implement serious reforms necessary to put us on a path to a sustainable future. mr. speaker, our budget has a different vision for america. our budget plan save

thank you and i yield back my time. >> next i would like to yield to another hoosier for two minutes. >> mr. chairman. thank you mr. chairman and thank you reg you member van hollen for this hearing today. the reality is in today's economy americans are struggling to find jobs. paychecks are shrinking. they are working harder but they are falling further behind. why? the answer is pretty simple. this economy is in fostering the creation of enough good-paying jobs. hard-working americans deserve a healthy economy where everyone has a shot at a brighter future. that is what today's budget is all about. this budget resolution is a responsible plan for creating a strong economy. that means tightening our belts balancing the books and making the government live within its means. that means making sure the social safety net provides a hand up and not a hand out. that means spending tax dollars more wisely. this budget resolution may be revolutionary to some simply because it calls on congress to make choices. neither party has been very good at that for quite a while now. that is why congre

the hoosier republican did get the answer to his question in the correct subcommittee hearing aroundorner and on the left. >>> one disgruntled court stenog rfy may end up doing what a bevy of defense attorneys could not, getting their client's convictions thrown out. the new york post reports the court reporter repeatedly typed, i hate my job, along with other gibberish, instead of testimony. the botched transcripts are allowing criminals to claim evidence is missing. one lawyer handling the appeals says, quote, i never had a situation where a single court reporter was responsible for so much damage. this since fired stenographer admitted screwing up on purpose. >>> finally, fast food is taking a standard against an old cold war enemy. mcdonald's has decided to temporary close its restaurant in crimea. it did not mention the ongoing tension in the area, instead citing operational concerns beyond its control. >> a moscow contention wants to retaliate by closing all the mcdonald's chain stores in ri russia. and here in the u.s., mighty taco posted this soon, banning president putin fro

. >> hoosiers should be very proud and take every opportunity to be engaged in the fact that we're the first state in the country that's really going back to the principle that education is a state/local function. >> brown: now, oklahoma and other states are moving to follow indiana's lead. the criticism initially stemmed from republicans leery of federal involvement with some labeling the program "obama- core". pennsylvania congressman john kline chairs the house education committee. >> that's the ultimate fear-- that the federal government does get in the curriculum business and tells the states what they're supposed to teach. >> brown: there's been criticism on the left as well, particularly over testing requirements. new york's democratic governor andrew cuomo has said execution of the standards was "flawed". >> brown: the program still has its champions, though. one is the republican former florida governor, jeb bush. last sunday on fox news, he made a push for common core. >> if you don't have high expectations, high standards, you're not going to go anywhere. the idea that it's

so i introduced the save american workers act because i want to help these hardworking hoosiers and other americans who are just trying to make ends meet. by simply he repealing this provision and restoring the traditional 40-hour workweek, we can help make an america that works. now, i urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this bill. i commend my colleagues on the other side who have already signed on as co-sponsors, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from indiana reserves. the gentleman from michigan, mr. levin, is recognized. mr. levin: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. on the n: my colleagues republican side in the house, they are so blinded by their ideology that they will not or cannot see reality or hear other voices. so here's the reality. seven-plus million people have n rolled in private plans through the a.c.a. marketplaces. the a.c.a. is working. millions have new coverage under medicaid. up to 129 million americans with pre-existing health conditions, in

i hear daily from hoosiers in the 2nd district asking me to support policies to create jobs and boost the economy. reduce our more than $17 trillion debt. they want me to support policies that ensure our kids have a shot at the american dream. this common sense budget resolution does just that. it promotes job creation. it supports energy expansion, moves toward energy dependence. it rolls back federal red tape. this budget protects seniors and low-income americans by ensuring that medicare and safety net programs like the supplemental nutrition assistance program will be sustainable in the long term, protecting the programs for the americans that depend upon them. it provides state flexibility in medicaid, strengsens the work requirements and makes structural reforms to medicare. this budget will help to reduce poverty, boost economic mobility and strngen our national economy, increases funding for veterans, supporting a strong national defense. provides a responsible, sustainable plan for our economy. thank you and i yield back my time. >> i'd like too yield two munlts to another mo

that's 3 % of hoosier services -- 3.% of hoosier services exports. successful implementation are expected to increase indiana exports to the e.u. by roughly 33% and could boost net employment by up to 13,780 hoosier jobs. currently major indiana exports at e.u. include pharmaceuticals, aerospace products and parts and medical equipment and supplies. again, i'm a strong advocate of free trade, free markets and i think that trade agreements have the opportunity to strengthen our economy by creating new global markets and supporting existing ones. i encourage all of my colleagues to support the bipartisan congressional trade priorities act so we can further and hopefully finalize many of these ongoing negotiations. and bring final trade agreements before congress for approval. and i once again thank the chairman and happy to yield back. mr. sessions: i thank the gentleman for discussing not only the impact in indiana but with the knowledge that indiana in fact is really a micros could much of what this country -- microcosm of what this country really lo

i ask the entire sixth congressional district to join me in recognizing these two outstanding hoosier legislators. i have no doubt these great men will bring the same commitment, dedication and enthusiasm that they've had during their service to their constituents and their communities and apply that in the next chapter of their lives. thank you, mr. speaker, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the chair now recognizes the gentleman from virginia, mr. wolf, for five minutes. mr. wolf: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, our nation was founded on two core principles -- freedom of speech and freedom of religion. both of which are contained in the first amendment of the constitution. no one in america is arrested for criticizing elected officials, including the president. no one in america is imprisoned for going to a mosque on a friday, a synagogue on a saturday or a church on a sunday. the fact that we as americans can express ourselves so freely and choose to worship whenever and wherever we want are part of the american greatness. that is why i am so tr

in my area, a report was released by saint mary's college, found an alarming number of hoosier girls affected by acts of sexual violence. indiana ranks second out of 46 states for the highest number of rapes among female high school students and this is unacceptable. 14.5% of indiana's female high school students and 5.2% of indiana's male high school students have reported being raped. this shocking number only accounts for those attacks that are reported. as we all know, most assaults go unreported. since joining congress, i've worked to put an end to sexual violence. working with the house armed services and the house veterans affairs committees, i have authored and supported a number of provisions aimed at combating the growing number and the epidemic of military sexual trauma. today i call my colleagues to raise awareness about sexual assault and how we can all work together to prevent it, to respond to it and to say no to sexual assault together. and i yield back the balance of my time and i thank you for this opportunity to join you in saying no more to sexual assault. mr. ree

these hoosiers work every day with students, and because of this provision in the affordable care act, our students will suffer. mr. speaker, i strongly support this legislation and urge my colleagues to vote in favor. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. rangel: mr. speaker, i'd like to yield three minutes to r distinguished minority whip. maybe after he's had a chance to express what makes common sense that our republican friends might change their minds. but i'd like to yield for the hard work you've done in this area and good luck. mr. hoyer: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend. and i might say -- the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. hoyer: the chairman in exile of the ways and means committee in his confidence of my ability to change minds is wonderful but probably overstated. i regret that but i will try anyway. the previous speaker said that people were going to be forced to reduce hours. now they will only be able to .educe it from 40 to 39 in oth

related to intelligence, whether or not it's classified and that if you do, then you will probably hoosier job and your security clearance. so lots of organizations, eithei think even the "washington post" would frown upon its employees speaking for the company or after disclosing the internals of the company and ice was you could even do it that you get yourself fired. but what the post can't do is a death penalty your career to our 4.1 million jobs in this country that require a classified clearance. across the government, 4.1 million. so if you run into me at the promotion ceremony of some general and as a cocktail party and we talk about what's happening in crimea these days, purely unclassified conversation, and you don't log that and report it, then you could lose your ability to work anywhere in your chosen field. i think that may end up being a pretty significant deterrent and a real shame because a lot of the context and the richest of the stories that you get from the reporters that you admire, suppose there's any you like reading, that a lot of what they know, a lot of the abili

young: let's consider the kentuckian or the hoosier who is currently working 39 hours a week band aws -- and because of this provision their employer is unable, under the current economic conditions to offer them obamacare sanctioned health insurance. so, they're incentivized to move that person, that hardworking, hourly worker, down to 29 hours. that's a loss of 10 hours per week over the course of -- of 10 hours a week. over the course of a month that worker is losing an entire workweek. how is an hourly worker leek that who has to pay for food and shelter and clothing and other basic expenditures supposed to take care of their family? it's unfair and someone needs to stand up for our low and middle income workers and i think that's the essence of what this is all about. >> absolutely. i totally agree. you're absolutely right. i would commend the gentleman for being one of those leaders in our country who is standing up for the working people of this country and i would just note that the president of the teamsters union, james hoffa, he said that this rule will, quote, destroy the

hoosiers understand the problem, but they wonder if washington even cares. republicans owe taxpayers a clear plan to tackle the debt and jump start the economy with the private -- with private sector job growth. that's why my colleagues and i are offering a commonsense reform to washington's broken budget process. we have to force the federal government to take an honest look at how its policies affect americans struggling in this real economy. it's not too late to save the american dream from a future of debt and decline but we have to do that work now. we owe taxpayers a clear vision for how we can force washington to stop spending money we don't have and make ends meet without raising taxes. that starts with reforms like the pro-growth budgeting act. i thank the budget committee for their hard work and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from georgia reserves. the gentleman from maryland. mr. van hollen: i reserve. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from georgia is recognized. mr. price: i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the gentleman f
