so, my question is, if o & b, cbo and the federal reserve is predicting positive gdp, an upturn in economicactivity somewhere in the next 6 to 18 months, we have concerns about the fiscal sustain ability of these levels of debt. having our debt go from 41% of gdp to 82% of gdp in 2 10 years, triple the national debt in 10 years, does this meet your definition of prompt attention to questions of fiscal sustainability? >> well, congressman, i'm not sure whose projections. cbo projection i guess that is. i would say that that picture's concerning not only because of the level but because of the fact it continues to rise. sustain ability means there are countries that have 80 pez or 100% debt-to-gdp ratios, i'm not recommending that. clearly you can't have a debt-to-gdp level that continues to rise indefinitely. it's very important that we have now, or very soon, a plan to stabilize at least the debt-to-gdp ratio so it doesn't go into a continued increase, which because of interest payments would make sort of a vicious circle going forward. >> i've seen one analysis that clearly to keep the deb

if that were to happen. now this doesn't address oall o the issues connected with a war in the area, if this would happen, so, the russian elite would benefit the most, the price of oil which undermines chinese economic development and bogs us down in a war and impacts us negatively in the economy, some people, mr. putin himself, would not view as an international disaster, that is perhaps another reason why we have to think not just twice but three times or four times about that option. and this is also another reason why we have to make certain israelis don't do it because we'll be the ones who pay the price if they do it. there is no reason to calculate that an israeli strike would be effective conclusively in preventing the iranians from acquiring nepsz. it would be painful, it would be damaging, but it would probably actually accelerate their efforts because they would become more explicit in a setting of national rage, nationalist fanaticism and a very unified militant posture against israel and the united states together. so there is no benefit for us, there is no real benefit for israel in this, eith

if there's any way i can help with additional information on the future on that issue i will o rtainly be glad to do so. ae technical facts, if you come in cold to this issue and look at the technical, scientific, engineering facts, the nuclear power plants, there is no competition. and you say what about their performance in the real world? the performance has been astonishing. on those 2 bases there should be some good reasons not to use nucler. we find ourselves looking at nuclear as a last resort. it is not a last resort, it is .he obvious solution and there are some good reasons not to do it. all of these technical facts are bipartisan. they are true in the real world and unavoidable. the alleged problems nuclear faces don't occur in the real world. not really occur in the real world. waste -- who is being hurt by waste? we have back up information on that. that is scarce stuff. it is not occurring in the real world. -- that is scare stuff. the president says we do not need yuca mountain. we do not need that. we never did need it. it was a dumb idea from beginning to end. was a du

disease control and prevention says if you do nothing, it goes to this point; and the congressional budget office after looking at the bill suggests it's 2 scrierks o% or f we pass the bill. now, why is that? how could it possibly be higher if you pass legislation that's supposed to fix it? well, mr. president, it's for that reason: because of what h.r. 1256 does. it is not a public health bill. it is a bill that locks in the most risky products and grandfathers them to the food and drug administration and allows no pathway for reduced harm products to come to market. it actually takes some reduced harm products that are currently on the market but haven't been sold since february of 2007, therefore, they're gone. there's no ability for the f.d.a. to look at this product and say, my gosh, in the name of public health, let's keep this product on the market, because the united states senate legislatively is telling the f.d.a. what to do. why does it matter what agency we put this in if, in fact, congress believes they can fix it, then why haven't they fixed it up until now? if writing a bill that legislates how to fix it would work, why haven't we do

providers to choose efficient provider partners, so that the o orthopet does the procedure at the most expensive hospital, they never get a reward, but if they do it at a more efficient hospital, less expensive, they might have not have to change anything they do and this way they could be a winner in per episode bundles. now, the attribution of episodes to -- of patients to different episodes or different providers, can be a challenge. it's easy with the major surgical things. initially, this actually has been pursued by private insurers, as a modification of fee for service. basically, bonuses or penalties in for per-episode efficiency and cms to me is laying the groundwork for this in the future for medicare, as they are implementing, as directed by congress, resource use reports, which basically are for information only, reports to physicians on the efficiency with which episodes of treatment that they're involved with are provided. now, there's been some criticism by some of the proponents of c capitta ted of per bundles uses. i would bundle them in two services. one is leaving of the incentives to generate more episodes of care in

o÷things. we need to control cost. that's the core problem that we're facing in healthcare, if we on your provisions that all employersrequired to pay along with all employees. this pay or play kind of proposal is essential in our view if you're going to base the reform on the employment insurance because, one it, takes some cost pressure off the federal government for providing the subsidies. everybody we get covered in this is somebody who doesn't need to have a federal subsidy out of tax dollars. two, it helps stabilize those employers who are providing coverage because they're no longer picking up the extra cost of covering the cost of care for those people who don't -- whose employers are not covering. and the overwhelming majority of businesses do now provide coverages that have been cited here and want to continue provide it. the only increase in cost is those firms that are not currently offering benefits. mostly small, low wage firms and your bill addresses their concerns in terms of -- in terms of subsidies and tax credits to provide benefits but also offers the option to pay into a fund that would allow emp

we are supposed to be having a one o level of safety for regional and major carriers and i want to hear from our new administrator babbitt randolph if he thinks that is the case and if the faa has kept up with the changes in the industry, it does this standard exists at one bubble? is that enforced to what level? i sent a letter to the department of transportation inspector general to review the faa's role of the certification of training programs airlines require to the extent the faa can verify the pilots are receiving training and the ability to verify the qualifications of pilots to operate specific aircraft for i am pleased the inspector general is here with us today. also i sent a letter that they study safety practice in place to deal with icing conditions let me say that ntsb appears to be doing a very thorough job which is not a surprise to gain an understanding of this crash may need to fully understand it and it what changes need to be made to ensure it does not happen again. this will be the first of two hearings and our witnesses today are a babbitt randolph administrator faa's, calvin scovel inspector general at depart

and that all has to be evaluated if we're going to be operating running the finest country that has ever had the privilege of being soverage o on this earth. our process has been broken. and because of the sense that power can dictate, then it has dictated. for two years, we haven't had a legitimate appropriation process in the united states congress, not until this week, not until the justice appropriations bill was offered. and even then, it wasn't a legitimate process. it was offered under a rule that i had never seen before and i believe it is historically unprecedented, which is pre-print your amendments in the record and we'll make them in order. they can tell us in advance what the rules committee is going to decide in advance and we filed 127 of them or some number near that. and that allowed the majority to read our entire playbook. allowed the majority to evaluate the political implications and plan their strategy. and what was the strategy? the strategy was well he, we dare let them debate this, because they are going to bring up things that are embarrassing. we dare not allow votes because the members will be hel

the recovery act, if you said one doesn't and economic depression -- depression has anything like clinical depression, how much specific to mental health was there in the recovery act? o. how i remain a little concerned about all of this as the other reason why, why i don't get really scared about the absence of specifics one of the things that is crucial to the approach that has been emphasized come at the first level about creating a broad framework that will address issues of benefits broadly and a delivery system broad labor costs of not having details about mental health is not necessarily a bad thing. but to the advocacy we will all be involved later down the road, i will make one point*. most people never see a mental health specialist for their condition. bay go see a pediatrician, a family medicine, gp and if we just take the case of the mental health condition as 398 days reliably diagnosed and effectively treated 75% of the time, a depression, generally it is identified less than half the time and less than half when identified is it treated responsibly. so not necessarily right now because it may muddy the waters but at some point*, we have to get involved
