speaking of the best in the country, was it not great for iowa state and iowa to windows bowl games this- to win those zero games this year? -- those bowl games this year? [applause] i want to congratulate the coaches and players, the fans, for all of their support. this was a great thing to have those teams be the winners in the bowl season. i also want to welcome the president of iowa state university, two members of the board of regents, and i thank you for your service to the state as well. [applause] as you can see, we have a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time this session. but nothing that we do here is more important than doing our part to help create and retain good-paying, private-sector jobs. and i want to recognize and thank those who have the courage and foresight to stand up and join me in passing the initiative in the last session. this was an important step. let's remember what ijobs did, and why people across iowa support this. this is fair and equitable. every county will receive funding that can be dedicated to the high-priority infrastructure projects of

well, we don't have a lot of spas in iowa. we don't have those fancy things like they got in florida and texas and arizona and california, wherever else all this stuff is going. but what my seniors need is they need the peace of mind of knowing that medicare -- medicare is going to be there for them in the future. they need to know that they're going to get the benefits that we put in this plan that's in our bill that will help our medicare beneficiaries -- and here's what it is. as aarp says -- "the new senate bill makes improvement in the medicare program by creating a new annual wellness benefit, providing free preventative benefits, and most importantly for aarp members, reducing drug costs for seniors who fall into the dreaded medicare doughnut hole." "the bill also makes improvements on age rating, a discriminatory practice that allows insurers to charge exorbitant, age-based premiums to older americans. finally, aarp strongly supports provisions in the senate bill to strengthen long-term services and supports. we also a

but megan says this sure beats iowa city. >> consider yourselves lucky, it's a little chilly in iowa.> reporter: so for those braving the cold, many of them at least here on lincoln road coming in to get some ice cream, it's not too terrible. it is expected to dip in the 40s, and that is a big concern for crop growers as this freeze watch continues throughout the night. we are live tonight on lincoln road, miami beach, blake fuhrman. >> we talked about the crops, and that affects the economy. tourism as well. the economy is bad, tourism depends on the economy, what is the concern on that? >> it's a big concern. i'll tell you, though, a couple people we spoke, to what's helping out is iowa is in town for the bowl game. atlanta is in town for the orange bowl game. the pittsburgh steelers travel, huge. they've brought tens of thousands of fans down here. at least this weekend because of football, you can see we're fine. this is as busy as we've seen lincoln road here in the last several weeks. the last thing we need is for the temperatures to dip into the 50s, the last reading we had 55

we started the campaign in iowa two years ago. it was our members in iowa who met with candidates in both parties to talk about libraries, schools, hospitals, and clinics in i would not have high-speed connections and what that means. our organization is not just about the standard of living, but also about employment, where the skills come from, and how to contribute in a meaningful way. it is not just to go to work, but to feel like your work is meaningful. >> one of the ways the fcc is looking to try to shift resources is to take it away from traditional narrow band sources. what do you think of that approach? >> in one word, great. the universal service fund -- we see boys going forward as an application -- we seek voice going forward as a software application. the $8 billion a year could be used to stimulate private sector investment in low density areas or underserved areas. congress needs to get involved in that as well. we need about $350 million to upgrade our internet to the standards of korea, which is ironic to most am

would the gentleman from iowa indulge? when you hear the term structural deficit, this is the structural deficit, the difference between spending and taxes. this chart runs from the 1970's through 2019. and if you look at the -- thr dotted line is today. well, look at how the gap between spending and taxes ap and grows and separates going forward. and here's where we are today at a massive point in terms of the difference between spending and taxes. but over the years, regardless of who was president, regardless of who was in congress, we didn't have those abrupt, wild and dramatic swings. and in fact, when the republicans controlled congress under a democrat president, you actually had tax receipts higher than spending. these are the years that that the gentleman from iowa talked about that you are most proud and i'm most proud as a nonmember of congress during those years. and one more chart. this chart shows you where spending went over the last period of time, 1969 to 2008. this very high number for defense, when over

[applause] charlene and city are with us today. will you join me in recognizing them here in the chamber. [applause] what have we learned from these results into iowans? we learned that the spirit of iowans is not broken regardless of the and adversity we face. as we enter a new decade, a part in the session, and crept into budget, we have some fundamental choices in spite of some real challenges which remain. will we move this date forward by reforming and reorganizing state government? will we continue to be a leader in renewable energy and green job creation and stay on the path to economic recovery? will we continue to make investments in our kids by expanding access to health care and adequate funding for early childhood education and education at all levels? will we fight for the men and women who wear the uniform of the united states military? fina

it was in iowa because of the political interests. it was our members who took it up, met with the candidates in both parties, talked about the libraries, schools, hospitals, clinics and iraq are not having high-speed connections and what that means. and so, to our members it helps say that our organizations not just about important as it is the standard of living, but it's also about obviously coming you know, where will our the skills you need and how to contribute any meaningful way way to this country? you know, it's not just a good word. we feel like your work is meaningful. >> one of the ways that the fcc is looking at trying to shift some resources to having to deploy your broadband is by taking it away from traditional narrowband voice services that are supported by the universal service fund. what do you think of that approach? >> guest: great. one word, great. the universal service fund was focused on simple voice. we see voice going forward as an application of software application. and we need to move -- the universal serv

iowa gets to go first. we take it seriously. somebody has to be first. i don't have confidence in anybody else to do a better job. but it's still only a recommendation. but what happened in massachusetts last night was not a recommendation that affected the rest of the country like iowa makes when they do the first of the nation presidential caucus. what happened in massachusetts last night was a decision for the rest of the country, a decision that will bind the destiny of america. they understood that and they stepped up to that cause and their conscience and their sense of responsibility kicked in. so i am very proud of what the citizens of massachusetts have done. they have mobilized the political effort that many of them hadn't seen ever in their lifetime. i talked to a lady that said she's worked in political campaigns for 50 years. 50 years. she said, when the polls closed and they counted the ballots, they cried their eyes out and then they got up and went to work again this time, i imagine there were tears among these groups. they probably did c

we've been joined by the gentleman from iowa, and i'd like to yield to mr. king for his comments about the balance budget amendment. mr. king: i thank the gentleman from virginia, mr. goodlatte, for leading on this special order tonight and for leading on fiscal responsibility here in the united states congress. this balanced budget amendment is something i'm proud to be an original co-sponsor of. i've done so every time that this has been offered since i've been here in congress and the dialogue that's here tonight adds so much to something that's been missing completely, i think, from the administration and from the white house. and we went from a point of republicans pushing towards a balanced budget in listening to the pay-go arguments of the blue dog democrats demagogue on the issue, i don't know where they've gone today, seems to me they've gone underground, i don't hear anything about them about balancing the budget anymore because they understand that in order to fund this kind of profligate spending that we have, this $1.4-plus trillion deficit crea
