but mr. gross, could this change anything?ould this horrific event really be a moment in american history where we actually do something about gun violence? >> i really believe it will change things. you know, there's been a national conversation that's been starting prior to this. we've seen people coming out, people like bob costas, even rupert murdoch, bill o'reilly, talking about sensible measures. the american public wants to solve this problem. and sometimes it takes an event like this really to catalyze things. in 1989 there was a horrible school shooting where 35 people were shot in stockton, california. and that was the catalyst for some of the major legislation that passed soon after that. so i think we have to -- we need to push and it requires the american public speaking up and making their voice heard. but this is a conversation that the american public wants to have. and we need to make sure that congress and the president want to have it too. >> congressman nadler, do you stand with the mayor of new york when h

gross domestic product growth. coupled with that, our plan a , mr. speaker, has been designed to bring about a reduction in the size and scope and reach of the federal government. everybody knows what that means. everybody knows what has to be done to reduce the size and scope and reach of the federal government. that is, in thailand reform. plan a consists of two simple things -- pro-growth tax reform, keeping taxes low for individuals and job creators and small businesses. so we can encourage the kind of job creation to which we all aspire, and a reduction in the mammoth size of this behemoths. all as we all know, this encourages a cycle of dependence. it has been generational. getting our house in order and dealing with the $16 trillion national debt is only part of that. encouraging individual initiative and responsibility. paring back entitlement spending is the right thing for us to do as a nation that is planned a. we know, 11 days from now, we are going over the so-called fiscal cliff. what does that mean? every american will see a tax increa

mr. speaker. this week marks the three-year anniversary that a united states citizen, allen gross, has been held hostage in cuba. he was arrested on december 3, 2009, for engaging in humanitarian activities to help the oppressed cuban people. once again, the specter of a swap for cuban spies being held in prison here has been raised. i would continue to encourage the administration to reject that notion. particularly when these cuban spies are being held for participating in a murder conspiracy against other american citizens that were shot down over international waters. mr. rivera: and i would remind the administration that cuba remains on the list of terrorist nations, nations that are specific enemies of this country and want to do harm to this country, a country that is harboring fugitives from u.s. justice and a country where just this week dissidents, peaceful dissidents in cuba were attacked once again, according to reports from cuba by relatives of a political police captain on the island that attacked supporters of the peaceful group, the ladies in white. once again i would encourage as i've d

ensure that people will see reduced rates and we will generate enhanced gross domestic product growth. coupled with that our plan a, mr. speaker, has been designed to bring about a reduction in the size and scope and reach of the federal government, and everyone knows what that means. everyone knows what has to be done to reduce the size and scope and reach of the federal government. and that is real entitlement reform. so plan a consists, mr. speaker, of two simple things. pro-growth tax reform that will keep taxes low for individuals and job creators and small businesses in this country so that we can encourage that kind of job creation to which we all, democrat and republican alike, aspire, and a reduction of the mammoth size of this behemoth, which, as we all know, encourages a cycle of dependence which has been generational. it's essential we turn the core of it. just getting our fiscal house in order dealing with the 16-plus trillion dollar national debt is only part of that. but encouraging individual missions and responsibility, creating pride in individuals by, again, pairing -- parring back entitlement spend

gross understatement, would you filibuster a bill that -- the president's bill? they refused to answer. well, we don't make that decision. we can't answer that well, filibuster is over all of our heads, mrhat's why we have to look seriously next year at changing the rules around here. the bill that has passed the house -- i'm sorry, the bill that has passed the senate protects 98% of families, 97% of small businesses. they passed a bill in the house that we defeated that is extend the tax cuts for everybody, that was voted down over here. th the president said woe veto it. so, this happy talk that this republican house leadership said yesterday, let them take our bill. mr. president, that bill was brought up and it was defeated. i raise pete, the american people do not agree with the republicans in the house and the republicans over here. >> that is majority leader speaker harry reid on the senate floor reflecting a fair amount of blame, of course. he had been seen or has been seen as one of the men who can put together some kind of bipartisan deal that can then be taken up by the house. appare apparently, eamon javers, does not seem that that is going to happen, he says it looks like t

gross understatement, would you filibuster a bill that the -- the president's bill? they refused to answer. we don't make that decision. we can't answer that. well, filibuster is over all of our heads, mr. president. that's why we have to look seriously next year at changing the rules around here. the bill that has passed the house -- i'm sorry, the bill that has passed the senate protects 98% of families, 97% of small businesses. they passed a bill in the house that we defeated. that is extend the tax cuts for everybody. that was voted down over here. the president said we veto it. so this happy talk that republican house leadership said yesterday, let them take our bill, mr. president, that bill was brought up and it was defeated. i repeat, the american people do not agree with the republicans in the house and the republicans over here. the way to avoid the fiscal cliff has been right in the face of the republican leaders, both mcconnell and baron --, boehner for days and days and days going into weeks and months and it's the only option that is a viable escape route. that's the senate-passed bill. it wouldn't hard to pass, i've talked about that at some length. every democrat in the

mr. cardin: i just wanted to compliment you on the moral clarity of your statement. you're absolutely right. the moral clarity here is clear. those that can make gross violations -- as you pointed out, this legislation applies beyond the magnitsky tragedy. it applies to russia. and it is a standard that we intend to to use on other legislation. i hope we will make this statutorily global. but we're going to have other opportunities to make it clear that those who violate human rights, peter jenningsly recognized, that the clarity here is clear in that there will be repercussions on the rights of our own country. you're right, we can't determine how russia will treat its violators of their laws. they're going to have to handle that. but we have moral certainty that we are not going to assist those violators. we're abouting to deny their opportunities to come to america and use our banking system. i thank you very much for -- mr. mccain: could i just make a quick respoons to my friend from maryland. that is, we talk add lot about the globalization. don't think that dictators and brutal rulers and ole gar kiss all over the -- oligarchies all over the w

gross income, that's not actually your total income. it's a machination. you go through there on your tax returns. we put it in different categories. out of 155 tax returns turned in, mr. speaker, 155 million, just under six million reported income of $200,000 or above. 155 million just under six million reported an income of $200,000 or above. what's even more interesting, though, is the number of returns below $10,000. because we're going to talk about fairness. those folks under $10,000, i don't think there's a man, woman in this body who believe there's a family of four trying to live on $10,000 that doesn't want help. i pinch pennies as much as anyone. i have sales for wal green's and cvs. that's tough to do in today's economy. $10,000. so that's why it's so interesting. look out here. of the -- almost 21 million tax returns filed, only 14 of them ended up having a tax associated with them, 425,000 were itemized. now i want you to think about that, mr. speaker. you know, most americans don't itemize on their taxes. they have the standard exemption, the standard deduction. most americans take that. even homeowners. of course, the mortgage interest deduction is the
