mr. carter: i yield back. go ahead. mr. davis: and why it's so critical now to your point, we've seen agencies in the last administration and this administration who've gone into overreach but most importantly what we've seen happen, in the last congress where there was a democratic supermajority in the house, in the senate with a liberal democratic president who is out to keep his campaign promises. the american people spoke in that election and they spoke in the election that followed last year that they did not agree with the overreach, be it legislative or in the regulatory side and made a change certainly in this body. the administration proceeded at that point to attempt to enact cap and trade rules, an energy tax on every american by regulation when their own -- when the congress in a democratic supermajority could not pass those bills, to send them to the president's desk, they were intent on doing it by executive order. the same thing that we see happening potentially with the card check. could not pass in the last

mr. carter: mr. speaker, i rise in support of h.r. 298, a bill that would designate the united states post office located at 500 east whitestone boulevard in cedar park, texas, as the army specialist matthew troy morris post office building. mr. speaker, i have the high honor of representing the brave men and women of fort hood, texas, the largest military installation in the world. every day that i have the opportunity to serve in congress, i do so knowing that my number one responsibility is to give our men and women in uniform the support and resources they need to be successful. each time i visit fort hood i see america's finest, the soldiers who put it all on the line to allow us to live in the greatest country on earth. only three days ago we celebrated veterans day, a sober reminder that freedom is not free. and today we here on the house floor remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country, another reminder to all of us that freedom is not free. representing fort hood, texas,

mr. carter. the speaker: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. carter: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise as a proud member of this conference committee and of this committee. the constitution of the united states gives us instructions that we are to watch our treasury and protect it and make sure that the money we spend out of that treasury is appropriate for the operation of this country. chairman rogers and the three ranking members who have operated in this particular minibus have been very noble in that effort. a commitment was made under the budget control act that we would stay within $1.043 trillion and this first start of finishing this appropriations process will see to it we meet that commitment. chairman ronellers has been very, very distinct and positive that he will meet that commitment and this is the first tep to meeting that commitment. it's important that all know that this is a noble effort. we have funded what is needed and we have given an open process both in subcommittee, committee, and on this floor. and by that, we have shown the american people th

mr. carter was at 51% when it came to job approval. mr. obama, 43%. you look at them as a harbinger of things that may come. when you see the lowest in modern hit. what does it tell you? >> when you are lower than carter is a phrase you never want to hear. that's enough to keep your political consultant to awake from now until 2012. carter had been lower in his third year. then there was a rally around the flag when our hostages were taken in iran. so he bummed up into the 50s. but president obama flat lined at 43. you look at gallup the last three, four weeks. flat at 43% approval rating it many hard for an incumbent president to win when he's down that low. megyn: most pundits say you have to be over 47% to win. the problem for president obama, his trending is not going to the right direction. it would be one thing if he were down low, and he was trending up. but it may be the opposite for him. >> we are a year away from the election. and politics that's a lifetime and a lot of things can happen. this is a president of firsts. first african-american

mr. carter: i rise to speak in opposition. the house is not in order. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman may proceed. >> it never creases to amaze me. not once, but twice today, you have taken two bills on the floor that have gone through subcommittee, full committee, unanimously and came down. this bill accepted every single amendment that came to rules. this bill accepted maxine waters amendment in the committee. had the gentleman listened to the debate on the floor you would have heard from your side of the aisle support of this bill. had the gentleman talked and listened about this bill itself, it has nothing to do with lending and let me tell you why. when i was 20 years old, i started my first small business. do you know what the zpwoft does for a small business? if you are someone like me and come from the wrong side of the track, they punish you. they say you can't find money from a source unless you have a previous relationship. it dates back to 1933. the only thing that this bill does is correct that problem. it opens it up for an individu

mr. carter brought up the point about the graduate tax would get rated debt. we are throwing around the word that like there are different kinds of debt. there's healthy debt and unhealthy debt. gathering and spending thousands and thousands of pounds is unhealthy debt. that is not going -- [inaudible] but if you make the calculation that university is going to be and you can get the job you want, the salary you want, then surely that's the calculation you should make and you should invest in that and you should think okay, i'm going to have to pay that slowly. would have to have rates, 24,000 pounds now, that you pay it back. you pay that less a month. so shouldn't you like look at that, i'm going to earn more? this is invest in my future. [applause] what about the woman in the third row here? thank you. >> i represent dublin. along with the speaker before me, it has been proven that going to university and getting a degree, as 12,000 pounds to university. as you think about, that's already more than one of you use a degree degree paid off instantly. and as w

concerned and nuclear program designed to laud militarisation so the same that went against mr bush the same now that carter has said that iran doesn't have that military zation program this is a complete no the other side is you know i was a let's listen patrick going i imagine this is a tragedy and there's determine what's going to factor in london what we're seeing is kind of scaremongering here basically war is imminent unless it's building nuclear weapons no it's not all somebody needs to be for the u.s. and israel to decide whether or not they'd sites claire declare war on iran just the fact that it does build nuclear weapons doesn't necessarily mean they're going to use them and who is it really for the us israel the west to decide who or who doesn't develop nuclear weapons anyways i mean questions to be closer in countries to make those decisions i just want to make this point so i think what we're seeing here really is a modern form of colonialism from these countries they're using weapons inspections agencies the u.n. access are to keep down these countries that they see to be disappeared unruly n

mr. harrison carter. [cheers and applause] >> thank you, mr. speaker. i propose that the u.k. youth parliament say no to tuition fees and gas to a graduate tax. we've done everything possible academically, but fall short. ema or income supports we can't seem to get that help to simply afford university. it has become a stark reality in this country that young people not only think twice about going to university, but dismissed categorically the idea altogether. the prospects that that underemployment is one for that many young people makes university in part to go. in the u.k. youth parliament report access denied, one in three young people said they wanted to go to university but were not able to do to financial burden that comes with studying and living away from home, a figure that is set to skyrocket with proposals by the government to increase university tuition fees to a maximum of 9000 pounds a year. what is more? past increases in the threshold were not and are still not enough to ensure that everyone who wants to study at university can. crippling debt is locking out
