mr. da costa first. >> commissioners, have announced to you several times in the past, i am the director of the environmental justice advocacy. what does that mean? that means that all the principles, many of which have been encompassed in mr. todd engstrom's presentation, affect us in the southeast sector. a huge area. it affects us. so, basically, simply put, it is quality of life issues. quality of life issues. so we can do it two ways. we can go to the grass roots and ask them what is happening, and if it is the good, the bed, or the ugly, and if it is bad or the ugly, we can fix it from the grass roots. or we can do it the way you do it, top-down. so you just dictate and the people kind of go with the flow. now, when you put out the bid for the outreach, in all some $300 million, you are creating a task force. and they actually asked for 10% of the $6 billion or so. but you settled for 5%, so $300 million. and half of that $300 million or however we divided it, you all did it before. so those people already have their money. and they are going to listen to whatever is being presente

napolitano, mr. costa, we have a very serious problem and i'm really to name it. the problem we have impacted lands across this country is climate change. if you think storms and drop conditions of catastrophic wildfires are random feet prevent coming you are in deep, deep denial. when sigmund freud said a denial come he suggested when people are forced to face unpleasant facts, they are prone to deny the reality of the fact outright. to come them in a may seriousness of the issue. or three, project responsibility of the unpleasant situation of someone else. this is an apt analogy to how the climate deniers have chosen to deal a severe weather events, drought and wildfire. for months the majority has denied that there is a problem. not the majority apparently is willing to accept part of the reality that we are approaching dustbowl like drought conditions and fires are becoming larger and more severe, but they still denied the group cause of the push to the extremes is actually caused by climate change. instead, they are going to project the responsibility of wild

mr. costa: madam speaker, despite our economic challenges, agriculture is one of the bright spots in our economy. last week the house agriculture committee in an overwhelming bipartisan fashion sent a simple message, we need a farm bill now. we have challenges in america and agriculture to be sure. such as the very prices fluctuations, the current drought affecting crops nationwide. and creating a level playing field for farmers to compete in foreign markets. this bill isn't perfect, but there is a great deal of consensus in it. our farmers need certainty and only a farm bill can give them that. there are 11 days left for the house to vote on a farm bill before the august recess. the american people are tired of congress bickering just to keep the lights on. this legislation has bipartisan support in the committee and in the united states senate. madam speaker, the leadership of this house is serious about providing certainty and promoting economic growth, they will bring this legislation to th

what's your thought, robert costa, looking at this command that created this flip-flop on mandates versus tax hikes? do they have what it takes or is mr. murdoch correct? >> i've been following these guys for a year. they're pretty ruthless. in the primary they went up against santorum, gingrich, knocked them out of the race. they've been competitive with obama in the polls. the biggest concern for the romney campaign may not be the operatives but is romney himself. will he be assertive on this tax issue, campaigning on the obamacare mandate, equalling a tax or will he be as he was this week, kind of unsure? may not be the operatives. could be the candidate as well. >> thank you, robert costa, we appreciate it. lars larsen, i want to go to you on. why isn't romney saying that he will cut taxes whereas obama is going to raise taxes on obamacare? it's a nice, simple message, lars larsen. why doesn't he have the presence of mind to do it? >> i honestly don't know because this is one of the biggest questions i've had about romney, whether or not he has what it takes to do the job. we all know the country can't take four more years of obam
