the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: is it also true, mr. speaker, that a bill considered under suspension of the rules does not pass if it receives a simple majority vote but no2/3 of the vote? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is correct. mr. mcgovern: and further parliamentary inquiry, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the geleman will state his inquiry. mr. mcgorn: does this mean that speaker boehner's bill to raise e debt limit and to destroy medicare would have failed if it would have been considered under suspension of the rules yesterday? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman has not stated a quirequoir. mr. mcgovern: thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from california, mr. dreier, and the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. mcgovern, will each control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from california. mr. dreier: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their

governor patrick is in rockport, massachusetts. ohio governor john kasich is in richmond, massachusetts. republican governor scott walker joins us from his state capital in madison, and los angeles mayor antonio villaraigosa is out at the aspen ideas festival in aspen, colorado. i want to thank all of you for being with us on this holiday weekend. governor kasich, i'm going to start with you. you were a part of that foursome two weeks ago, along with the president, speaker boehner, vice president biden. people thought that get- together, that bipartisan foursome might begin a sign of cooling off here in washington. but it seems to me that things are worse than ever. what do you think has happened? did somebody get mad at somebody out on the golf course? >> i think it's too early to conclude that, bob. look, i mean, the purpose is to get republicans and democrats together in washington. i was there when we did it. i was one of the architects of the balanced budget in '97. we've lost a lot of that ability to talk to one another as pe

>> what we did in massachusetts is a decision massachusetts makes. i understand the most recent poll there by a factor of three to one people support that plan. but we also have in massachusetts a curriculum for our school system, and all of our schools teach to the same curriculum. if the president were to impose that on the nation, it would be wrong, and in my view unconstitutional. it is simply wrong for the bedroom government and the president to shred the constitution by saying we are not going to believe in state authorities and state responsibility. we're going to have washington tell people how to live their lives. that is an american. it will not work. >> i would love to spend more time on this. we have a question that comes from anthony. if you are elected president, will you engage in foreign military action without a congressional declaration of war? >> the most important thing is to protect the american people. there are circumstances where immediacy is necessary. if you are going to engage in a war, you go to congress and received congr

the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: i yield 1 1/2 minutes to the gentleman from virginia, mr. moran. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. mr. moran: mr. speaker, according to grover norquist who is apparently the real republican strategist, this is about ensuring that democrats will never again have the revenue to govern as democrats. but what does he mean by that? is he talking about when roosevelt rescued us from the great depression? in the 1930's? or when we saved the world for democracy in the 1940's? or when we built the middle class with the g.i. bill in the late 1940's? or when we won the race to space in the early 1960's? or when we started medicare and passed civil rights laws in the mid 1960's? or when president clinton raised taxes, balanced the budget, generated $20 million -- 20 million new jobs, cut poverty, grew the middle class, passed on projected surpluses as far as the eye could see and enabled those at the top tax rates to take home more aft

the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: i yield myself five seconds. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mcgovern: my colleague from california keeps on saying that the boehner bill was bipartisan. i remind him not one single democrat voted for that bill because democrats do not want to decimate social security. mr. dreier: would the gentleman yield? mr. mcgovern: at this time i'd like to yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. fattah. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for 30 seconds. mr. fattah: i assume that something that the american people are gullible, but this is not a coincidence or happenchance. we got a republican majority that took us from trillions in surplus to trillions in deficit. added a $7 trillion prescription drug plan. unfunded wars. and then refused any additional revenue. and choking off our country's ability to pay its debt. now they want to walk us towards default. there is a special place in the shadows of the hist

the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: i yield 10 seconds to the gentleman from maryland, mr. van hollen. the speaker pro tempore: is recognized for 10 second. mr. van hollen: just to be very clear. what we did was eliminated the overpayments to some of the medicare advantage pns and, and -- madam speaker -- madam speaker -- the speaker pro tempore: the house is not in order. the gentleman will suspend. the gentleman is recognized. mr. van hollen: thank you, madam speaker. we used much of those savings to close the prescription drug doughnut hole. inour budget you took the hole $500 billion, but you reopened the drug doughnut hole at the same time you are eliminating the medicare guarantee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from california. mr. dreier: madam speaker, let me yield myself five seconds to say i thank the gentleman for once again pointing to the fact there is nothing in the boehner proposal that there's anything that cuts social security or medicare. madam speak

neal of massachusetts. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts, two minutes. mr. neal: thank you, mr. levin for yielding. this argument today is not about new spending. the argument today is paying our bills. this is the credit card that has come due for the irresponsibility tt we witnessed in this chamber and across this congress for eight years of the bush administration. two wars and $2.3 trillion worth of tax cuts, a prescription d medicare drug bill that came due . the president's chief economic adviser at the time said it was going to cost $300 billion in iraq. they fired him. dick cheney said $60 billion in iraq and in and out in six to eight months. 10 years later, we are in iraq. we have created 2.2 million new veterans. they are going to need our care for years to come in our health centers, for the v.a. it's going to be expensive. paul wolfwitz, in and out of iraq in a few months, a few billion dollars. the bill, our friends, hasome due. we cannot send a message to markets anywhere that the full faith and credit othe united states of america is at risk.

for what purpose does the gentleman from massachusetts rise? >> i rise to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. morekey: i thank the gentlelady. for what? why would we zero out the wind and solar budget? why would we zero out the energy efficiency, the conservation budget for what? well, so that we can have larger tax breaks, they tell us. because in another room, not too far from here, there are a whole bunch of republican negotiators saying that the $4 billion a year which are the tax breaks for the oil industry, they're off the table. you can't touch those tax breaks for the oil industry. can't touch them. and over the next 10 years, that's $40 billion for the oil industry. so we're out here, kneecapping the wind and solar, kneecapping the ability of solar to become equal with natch and -- natural gas and coal, and in another room, no more than 100 feet from here, they're meet, deciding what the big deal is going to be between president obama and the republicans here in the congress and in that ro

we put in place a an experiment in massachusetts. some parts are of the worked well and some didn't. there are some things that other states could learn from what we did. there are things that i would say do not do under any circumstances but the right idea of mine used to have states statecraft their own programs, craft their own solutions to these issues and let states compare one another to see who is doing at best and i think by doing that end up letting individuals be able to make their own choices in health care. you have a setting where you keep the best of if you will the federal system we have where states can compare ideas without having what i think the president did. at the president did was to say i'm going to take one idea and impose it on the entire nation, take away the rights of states and individuals to make their own choices. i think that was a huge mistake so i want a free-market health care system which i think is the best way to bring costs down and i want to return to the states the authority and responsibility

the same thing happening in massachusetts.sachusetts has been a cost containment nightmare and they have been forced to implement price controls. one of the issue is massachusetts had the lowest number of uninsured in the country. right? they had 94% of people who were insured. 6work were not. why not deal with the 6%? romney wanted to be historic. he had had to mandate that everybody go into romneycare. the biggest issue is they didn't have the guts in massachusetts just like president obama to make the penalty for signing up, greater than the actual premium. what you have in massachusetts is a bunch of people are getting sick. they're just signing up when they go to the hospital. they are paying the penalty. >> bob: some people are getting sick in massachusetts? are they eating bad cod? >> andrea: you know what happens. a bunch of people jumping in at different times. driving the cost through the roof. frankly, romneycare is obamacare. it's absolute night mary. >> bob: by the way, no exchanges set up except for few states. >

your health care bill in massachusetts.ant to give you an opportunity today to address the conservatives, the tea party movement and explain to them, because that keeps coming up again and again. what happened? what the bill was about? how you differentiate that from obamacare? when you went to iowa, the democratic party lovingly welcomed you to the state and said because you paved the way for health care reform in massachusetts, we were able to pass the affordable care act, obamacare. it seems to be their strategy to say the same thing. to explain to conservatives that is their big area of skepticism for you, because it is one issue that comes up. in your own words, what do you want to tell them about it? it does not seem to go away >> first, if i were president, i will repeal obamacare. the first day of my administration i will say to the secretary of health and human services, i want a waiver for all 50 states from obamacare. we had a bill that is 70 pages in length. he has a bill 2,700 pages. >> you have to pass it to f

the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: madam speaker, at this time i'd like to yield one minute to the gentleman from texas, a member of the committee of the ways and means, mr. doggett. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized for one minute. mr. doggett: this republican ploy is too clever by hat. at the very same time republican senators are filibustering against bringing up this proposal in the senate. the house republicans are insisting on bringing it up here so they can vote it down. while it is imperfect and imbalanced, this reid proposal protects educational opportunities for college students, it protects retirement security through medicare and social security, and it provides more important resources for public services than the reactionary house republican budget. with house republicans still at fault for refusing to seek any type of middle ground, the reid bill is the least worse alternative to avoid default. as desperate as they were last night,o cobble together a handful of vot

there's a lot of talk that you're being recruited to run in massachusetts and that democrats in massachusettsould really like to have you run against skroth brown? >> i really have to say, i've been working 14 hours a day on trying to stand this consumer agency up really for more than a year now. and it's been wonderful work, but it has been all absorbing work. i am so looking forward, i'm going to take a step away from this. i'm going to take my little grandchildren and my great nieces and nephews and we're all headed to legoland. it's time for vacation. >> legoland sounds like a great respite from washingtonland. >> yes, ma'am. >> you're not ruling out a race for the senate because massachusetts beckons. >> massachusetts does beckon in the sense that it's my home and i need to go home. and when i go home, i'll do more thinking then. but i need to do that thinking not from washington. i need to go home. >> well, we know you must be exhausted. if you do run presumably you are up to speed on the red sox nation and all the other things that really trapped the last democrat to run against scott

frank from massachusetts. mr. frank: first, madam speaker, i want to reassure the gentleman from texas i don't think you're sinister. i think he is opposed to effective consumer protection. i think he and the other republicans, at least some of them believe the chairman of the committee that the regulators serve the banks. i do think they were opposed to it last year and appreciate his honesty, his approach towards openness when he said, per haps they're against it. perhaps, shmerhasps, they're against it. they understand there would be a good idea to weak continue. but let me respond to his point about about confirmation. it's bogus, madam speaker. he says, we're just trying to hold this up until there's a confirmation. but 44 republican senators, 44 republican senators have announced that they will not allow any confirmation to go forward. they will filibuster it and they have more than the 40 they need to do that, until the agency is weakened. they have said they will not allow it to go forward until we allow t

we forget that massachusetts, virginia, pennsylvania, had been in existence. they didn't have the dhaka see that two out of three could vote. that's better than england, one out of six could vote in england. we had the bill of rights, the english bill of rights, we have habeas corpus, trial by jury, we experienced self-government. so it made so much easier for us. the french have a parliament they had nothing to draw on. they had no experience with electing people. it's not surprising they spiraled out. so we have to keep that in mind. we are deeply indebted to our british heritage of all of those rights that we are part of our common law and traditions, so that made a big difference. >> professor wood, thank you for being here. in your work, and ben franklin you recount of benjamin franklin testified in front of the parliament that they do best, or america as it was, was not -- could not be governed by parliament and yet was still loyal to the king. could you distinguish how for americans the ideal of loyalty to the king was different from loyalty to the parl
