mr. brady: thank you, mr. speaker. first i want to thank the leadership of congresswoman jenkins on such an important issue for families. i don't know -- we have two young boys. it is expensive raising kids. it just is all across america. i don't know what you make or where you live. this is about making it a little easier to raise your children. you heard today everyone's for the child tax credit except, of course, when they have to vote for the tax credit. then you hear every excuse in the world. here's what this bill does. first what it does it makes permanent this child tax credit so people can count on it. it's indexed for inflation, that means when your dollar buys less and less you shouldn't be punished by uncle sam because inflation is going up. families can more closely keep up with the real cost of raising their kids. it eliminates the marriage penalty. so uncle sam doesn't punish you. the federal government doesn't punish you simply because you're married in raising your children. we think it's important tha

and those sunken pits that people had in their houses in this era like you saw on "the brady bunch," right? yes, mr. caruso? >> men oppressed women because of their expectations that they had to do the insignificant tasks of daily life. and they had to do the carpentry and building with her hands. >> because they are suited to it. >> they are best at it, where women are best at nurturing and doing all that kind of stuff. >> which takes us right back to biology and nature versus nurture, yes? it gets us back to that ancient historical thing here you can go back as far as the hebrew bible to find these roles for women, yes. >> your own statement that you read previously about psychology students -- they are blaming the past generation for what the system is like now -- it answers the question for why men are oppressors. they conform to the past, mass media has brainwashed them from the past the generation , hands-down the oppression to women. >> generational change takes a long time, doesn't? -- doesn't it? it does not happen quickly. >> the new left, how much of that was the left that was in "goodby

mr. charles murray. w.h. bradyolar at the american enterprise institute and a noted author of such books as "the bell curve," "what it means to be a libertarian" and "coming apart." please welcome mr. murray. [applause] i want to begin by contextualizing this panel, because it's somewhat interesting that we have to ask the question whether we can stop big government. because it was only 20 years ago that a democratic president, bill clinton, said that the era of big government was over. we have defeated the soviet union, we have protected civil liberties or civil rights in the 1960s, achieved women's suffrage in the early 20th century, and yet we see threats to liberty on all sides today. our national debt in the united states is higher than it's ever been before. people are forced to purchase goods whether they decide they want to or not. the government routinely discriminates against people because of their sexual orientation and imprisons others for nonviolent drug offenses. and at the same time, we have to fear

mr. justice douglas, we -- >> is that true theoretically? >> it may. the brady issue, we don't believe, is properly before the court and has not been briefed by us nor by my brother. >> and was not decided by the district court. >> and was not decided by the district court. i would only say this, that in the experience that i've had in connection with cases tried such as the stan mitchell case in new york, the chapman case in washington, the ehrlichman case now going on. there has never been a claim that the president has not made available appropriate and adequate brady material. but, i don't believe it's before this court at this time, what is before this court is a prosecutor's demand for evidence. and may i direct my regards for a moment to that problem. he says that, in effect, we have no right to be here. we have delegated the who, the when, and with what issues to him. we have delegated the who and the when. and, pursuant to that, he has indicted a number of people and he has indicted him as such time as he thought appropriate. but, even he concedes that
