but how is louisiana going to get out of its mess?l these other states get out of their mess? or in the end, do all 50 states end up pitching in? >> you know, the $1.6 billion shortfall we face is for fiscal year 2011. we're going to have to do like every family and business, tighten our belt, do more with less, an we've already seen that. for example in the state of louisiana, i'll give you a couple of examples, we are operating group home services, that was costing the state four, $500 a day to provide thoses -- those services, private sector is doing it for $200 a day. we've gotten out of that business. we have to be more efficient with the dollars the people send to the state capitol. the difference between us and washington, d.c., they've grown spending from the economy from 18 percent to 24 percent of the economy, they want to grow it to 26 percent. we understand in the states you can't tax, spend or borrow your way into prosperity. you have to make tough choices. bill: it doesn't seem like all the states understand that. >> wel

we have not cut the mfp in louisiana. we have cut spending 26%, however, and what that means is, here in baton rouge, we have two schools for the visually impaired and deaf, and by putting them together in one campus, we are able to save millions of dollars and we are able to provide more community- based care. we are providing the services that our people want, many more services to more people in our state. in that larouche, we had a state-operated hospital that needed to be rebuilt. we did not have the money to rebuild a new hospital. we are now partnering with the largest not-for-profit hospital operator in the area. we will be able to deliver trauma services and better quality of care than was ever a available before in the capital city region and save taxpayers millions of dollars. those are some of the kinds of things we are doing to reduce spending and improve outcomes for our taxpayers. host: charles in shreveport, louisiana. go ahead. caller: thank you so much. i have been holding. first of all, bobby, tell the

those losing seats are illinois, iowa, louisiana, massachusetts, michigan, missouri, new jersey, new york, ohio, and pennsylvania. for 32 states, there is no change. texas gained the most seats this decade, a total four, and indeed has gained seats for seven consecutive decades. the next graphic shows the national staff shot of the 2010 census apportionment of the u.s. house of representatives. california will have 53 seats. texas will have 36. new york and florida will each have 27. seven states will have only one representative. the average population size of each house district will be 710,767 persons, and this is up from 646,952 at this time in 2000. i might note that in 1790, each representative represented 34,000 people overall. population change. over the last 100 years, the rate of growth of the u.s. population has gradually slowed, and this is as you can see from the red line on this graphic. there are two notable decades here. between 1930-1940, the small growth rate of 7.3% is thought to be related to the great depression of the 1930 loss. between 1950-1960, the high growt

thomas porteous, jr., of the eastern district of louisiana. judge porteous was summoned to answer, which he did on april 7, 2010, and the house of representatives filed a reply to the answer on april 17, 2010 and amended the reply on april 22, 2010. on the same day that the articles of impeachment were exhibited to the senate, members present in the chamber were administered the oath, as required by the constitution for impeachment trials. those senators who were not present to take the oath, and those who have been elected to this body since the oath was administered, should be sworn today. however, before the oath is administered to those senators not yet sworn, there is one preliminary matter to be addressed. the senator from illinois, mr. kirk, was a member of the house of representatives during this congress when the house voted on the articles of impeachment. if the senator wishes to make a statement about his participation in the senate phase of this impeachment, this would be an appropriate time to do so. mr. kirk: mr. president? the p

-- this is a quote -- "under louisiana commercial law, markers are considered checks as defined by louisiana statute." markers are uncashed checks, not debts, for the purposes of bankruptcy. at trial, an f.b.i. agent called by the house confirmed this interpretation, that a marker was a temporary check. in other words, these judges, who are not part of a sinister plan to undermine the bankruptcy laws of our country, these judges all said they actually agree with the interpretation that this is not debt. some people might disagree with their interpretation. but at most, it's an equipoise. they don't -- they did not believe it constitutes that, period. should they have gambled in their bankruptcy? of course not. that's a -- but that's not a failure as a judge. that was a personal problem that the judge overcame. let's move on to the last article. the fourth article of impeachment is a deliberate attempt by the house to resuscitate the pre-federal charges by recycling them through the confirmation proce process. and, by the way, senator leahy had asked about perjury in the confirmation process

for example, louisiana with a 1.4% growth and west virginia with a 2.5% growth can be contrasted with texas with a 20.6% growth. in the west, there is even a wider difference between montana at 9.6% growth and again in nevada with 35.1%. i turned to the implication of the 2010 officials said its results on the membership of the u.s. house of representatives. as you know, the constitutional purpose of the census is the redistribution of the membership of the house of representatives across state proportional to the population. the official 2010 population count at the state level on congressional apportionment is a shift of 12 seats affecting eight different states. those states gaining seats include arizona, florida, georgia, nevada, south carolina, texas, utah, and washington, as you see on the graphic. those losing states are illinois, iowa, louisiana, massachusetts, michigan, missouri, new jersey, new york, ohio, and pennsylvania. for 32 states, there is no change. texas gained the most seats this decade, a total of four and indeed, that state has gained seats for seven consecutive
