mr. speaker, but i'm hear because of the g.i. bill. my dad came back from the war, got some education, we were able to buy a house. we were middle class for the first time in our life because of the g.i. bill. like eight other million families who took advantage of that. so we have brought those benefits in line to what it really cost to go to college. we have worked on homeless veterans, we have worked on women veterans, as you've seen today. we have tried to improve access for rural veterans. so we have done quite a bit. i'm looking forward to working with our counterparts in the new congress to continue the progress that we have made for veterans. we intend to cooperate fully, mr. roe has been very good to work with. i'm not sure who the chairman will be from your side, but we have established, i think, good working relationships with virtually every member of your committee. so, as we conclude this bill, mr. speaker, i want to thank again the staff of our committee, i want to thank both the staffs on both sides of the aisle for their work

[laughter] now, listen, you all laugh; right? this is the crap i listen to in new jersey. [laughter] this is the argument they make every day that when i asked them during a time of unprecedented crisis last year to take a pay freeze for a year and contribute 1.5% of their salary to their health benefits, that's $750 a year for full family medical, vision, dental, and health coverage, the ngea called that the greatest assault on public education in the history of new jersey.

mr. thompson: my whole life as a young boy i grew up in a family-owned sporting goods business. it wasn't a very big operation, it really was my mom and dad, a brother and a sister. and we -- that was -- the store was open seven days a week and 12-hour days. as a teenager i remember i had the 6:00 a.m. shift on saturday morning. to get up -- mr. akin: what did you do? mr. thompson: i was getting up in the middle of the night back then. but hunting season was ammunition and supplies and fishing season was bait and minnows and -- but you know, it was a wonderful way to grow up. and to be able to see and to live the private sector. because that's what it was. we were immersed in it. and it was very positive from that standpoint, of interacting with the public. but at the same time it was a front row seat on just how many burdens government can layer on business. on jobs. and whether it was taxes, whether it was regulations, just incredible, incredible burdens. but i guess i have very fond memories but i have some very useful lessons that i take from those years, then went on into health care and created jobs and managed rehabilitation servic

mr. cuccinelli when i was listening to him, and this call earlier said that one of the things he did not talk about was his dad's to raise money for political future. host: the "wall street journal" calls what the judge did is today, a victory. putnam, ill., bill, republican line. caller: you keep throwing the constitution into this. where do the insurance company stand as far as free market? they are still private companies. if i decide to charge five -- for my hamburger and the guy across the street only charges -- charge $5 for my hamburger and the guy across the street on the charges $1, that is my prerogative. how can you mandate need to provide that for you? -- mandate, m me to provide that for you? it is still a free market, for- profit business. if you do not want that, then decide on something else, but that is the wave is right now. -- the way it is right now. guest: is the thing about the health insurance industry right now. they are not about profit. there about excessive, extreme profit. and these days they are not even about providing health care. in most of the markets in the united states, there

mr. president, someone who looks very much like you, the senator from minnesota who is seated over there a few minutes ago, talked about that. my dad was a small businessman. he had a little exterminating business. it was not successful. i know how he suffered through it. he knows that these tax breaks are not for a business like his or the dry cleaner or the restaurant or any of these other businesses. they are not for any businesses at all because we are not talk about corporate tax cuts. they are for very wealth people, some of whom you've mentioned, so i know my colleague from utah has been patiently waiting, and so i'm not going to talk about all the small business stuff, but i just want to remind people about this plan. under the president's tax breaks for millionaires, here's what would happen. under the plan that my colleagues across the aisle are supporting, people who make $1 million get a $43,000 break a year. people who make $10 million get a $400,000 break per year. people who make $100 million a year get 3.8 million break per year. the average middle class family making 60,000 gets 2500. we want to get that middle cla

[laughter] >> i will jump in on one point which is everybody's talked of the problem of over classification and i just want to address that. i agree that is the problem, no question about it. i actually applaud the president for his having undertaken an effort to review the classification process in place and try to, you know, get more transparency and reduce the classification of information. i guess my point would be this though, that is a problem, and it's a problem in terms of the reality because it chokes off the flow of information that should go out to the public, information that is insensitive but also it is a problem of credibility because the government has less credibility and says these are secrets and will be some fraction of them really are. but keep in mind that is one issue and that doesn't completely solve this pro

the happy mom and dad say four kids in one year is like hitting the jackpot. congratulations to them. it is 5 past the hour. >>> mrve got pregnant twins from orlando. >> what are your names? >> ashley and amy. >> and when are you guys due? >> march and may. >> did you plan that? >> not exactly. >> let's check your weather and show y at's going on. now we got that lake-effect snowstorm, you can see it streaming off the great lakes, the flurries we're getting here, part of the same thing. we have got mountain snows in the rockies, the cascades, the intermountain region, the pacific northwest. plenty of sunshine around the gulf. tomorrow the lake-effect snow continues along the eastern and western great lakes, more wet weather or snowy weather along the pacific northwest coast. sunny and warm in the southwest >>> we're looking par cloudy skies right now. radar view over the gray. you can see not much showing up there. we have showers out towards the county. a few lingering showers this morning. we will see mild temperatures and 60 places. things die for tomorrow and rain returns late tuesday night and spilling south

my dad used to say that the reason why we have more of the world's bounty is because we get more out of our people because of our free enterprise and educational systems. mr. goodikans, my social studies teacher, said a democracy is where everyone has an equal opportunity to become unequal. and so during my final days in the united states senate, i think of the people in my life who have gotten me up the steps to this hallowed chamber. my wife of 48 years, janet. she is god's greatest blessing on me. she has never pulled or pushed me, but she has always been at my side. my three children on earth, george, betsy and peter, and my angel in heaven, molly. and my eight grandchildren, my siblings and their extended families. it's not easy to have a father, brother or uncle in this business. to the people of ohio who facilitated my election to seven different offices, who have stuck with me even though on occasion they don't agree with me, my deep appreciation. i can never thank you enough. i hope that you know that every decision i've made and every policy i have crafted, although not always the easiest or most popular at the time, has aimed to improve and mak
