hamilton, middletown, west chester they can probably afford this. new enforcement. but i can take you to chickasaw, mercer county in my district. they don't have one full-time person that works for the village. not one. look at the mandate on every city, village in america, right here in this bill. so that we're not only going to tell you what the codes are going to be, but we're going to tell you how many people you need to hire to enforce this in this section of this code. i did take time, most of today, trying to understand what was in here. how about page 53. solar energy systems building permit requirements for receipt of community development block grants. so, what are we doing here to amend the community block grant program? we're going to impose global warming requirements on all the cities who get cbdg moneys from us? that's what it appears to say to me. or page 54. any met propoll tan city or urban county during such fiscal year, the cost of any permit or license for construction or installation of any solar energy system for any structure required by the

host: next is bonnie from middletown, new jersey. caller: good morning, senator mccain.arlier we had talked about the deficit spending, there is a difference between deficit spending and what you would do with private insurance. during reagan's time, we became -- we went from being the biggest lender nation to the biggest debtor nation. now we are trying to invest in our people. my main issue is your view on health care. 90% of bank of this -- of bankruptcy is are due to catastrophic illnesses and with the unemployment rate creeping towards 10%, that is only going to become more so. you are offering a $5,000 tax credit for health care. my insurance costs $20,000. collectively, between my employer and myself. how is $5,000 going to help? and the cost of the private health care is due to the private insurance -- interests. the insurance companies are driving of the costs with the public plan and, certainly, with the single payer plan that would be eliminated. i do not understand your reluctance to a public plan if you are so concerned about competition. isn't that what hel

. >> let's hear from middletown, new jersey, george. you are on with liz garbus. >> hi, how ya doin'? certainly interesting topic and i'm looking forward to watching this special. my assessment is that in often cases it's misinterpreted, i think one has to look at who wrote this into the constitution and why and i believe that it was the people giving themselves the right to protest the government which is who they feared the most back then. but now it's taken out of context many times, to use for every, you know, little thing there was a case where somebody wrote something distasteful on a shirt and i myself don't have a problem with that in the street but the school didn't want it and if the people in the school said the person can't wear that shirt, it should be respected as the school's rules, not as the person's right. now it's the person's right to wear that shirt at home or in the school but in many cases the law goes too far and gives too many -- gives more rights to the people. i don't know if i that happene happened -- >> let'

including the fairfield, cedar rapids, and middletown facilities in my district. i am very proud also that the ndaa includes an amendment i offered with ms. bordallo to improve national guard readiness by requiring the secretary of the army to report to congress on the creation of a trainee's transens and students account. at any given time 13.3% of the army national guard is nondeployable. and this account would serve as a temporary unit for these soldiers. in so doing it would end the practice of borrowing sold frers one unit in order to improve the readiness of another. and will improve both morale and overall readiness. i strongly urge support for the rule and for the underlying bill. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from florida. mr. diaz-balart: it's my privilege to yield three minutes to the distinguished republican whip, mr. cantor. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. cantor: i thank the speaker. i thank the gentleman fr
