mr. brooks brought up is a real one. in an earthquake, access to care, it is not so much building collapse that is the immediate problem. it is people getting access geographically over a mountain to hospitals and we are now concentrating them exclusive ply in a small area of the city. and cpmc is a large part of that decision because they have concentrated their facilities. i want to talk about something no one is talking about. the mayor's office took it off the table. this is a project that is being built intentionally. it is moving intentionally to one of the most congested transit issue areas of the city, an area the city knows needs massive transit, geary rail and van ness rail and that has been taken off the table and this project should be required to -- they are tunneling under van ness. it is a state highway. it is a very critical place and yet they are intentionally banning other sites that are not as bad transit-wise putting people into one very intense -- area that will put over capacity already congested in

mr. brooks, talk about the power of the unconscious. tell me how the power of the unconscious can be influenced and what influence do i have on it? >> i'm glad you asked that because i never want to leave the impression that it's beyond our control. we have free will. it may be more bounded than we thought, but we certainly have the ability to change who we are. but we do it in... sometimes in indirect ways. you have the ability to choose your environment. so if you can choose going into the marine corps or going to berkeley, those would be different environments and they will influence you in different ways. you have the ability to choose what... >> rose: but that's like understanding the impact culture can have on you and choosing one over the other. >> right. and once you go into the marine corps, you'll be influenced in ways you may not understand. but you will be influenced. >> rose: because you have made a decision. >> a decision to go one way or the other. the other thing you can do is change your behavior. one of the lessons of

mr. wrooks -- brooks says that they seem to have had done no serious policy evaluation of those cuts. that's why i ask that question. but i understand the gentleman's answer. is the gentleman -- i'll bring this to a close. we have some concerns by the fact that a number of economists , large number of economists, have expressed concern about the economic ramifications of some of the cuts and magnitude of the cuts included. as you know ben bernanke indicated that this spending plan could cost a couple hundred thousand jobs, a number he called not trivial. goldman sachs we might adversely affect g.d.p. by 1.5% to 2% in the second and third quarters compared with current law or as the gentleman refers to, the status quo. i ask the gentleman, is that of concern to you? or do you believe that those evaluations are incorrect? mr. cantor: mr. speaker, i thank the gentleman. i would say always mindful of opinion makers, compen tators, economists, and their view as to what's going on here in washington. but i would say to the gentleman, i think we have been down the road that the gentleman sug

mr. speaker, the c.r. disproportionately cuts education, especially literacy efforts. david brooks, not known as a left wing journalist, writes in "the new york times" column today, if you look across the country you see education financing getting sliced. often in the most thoughtless and destructive ways. in washington the republicans who designed the cuts for this fiscal year seem to have done no serious policy evaluation. last night i asked the rules committee to make in order an amendment restoring education cuts. the amendment cut $1 billion from the census in money that wasn't needed, applying most of that to offset education spending and the remainder went to further reducing the deficit below the levels in the c.r. before us. the rules committee chose not to make that amendment in order and therefore i oppose the rule. but to talk to the gentleman, i spent eight years on the staff of the other body and this is my 35th year in the house of representatives, ok? nobody ever gets everything they want. there is a process where we have the house passes the bill, goes to the sena
