mr. garrett for three minutes. >> and i thank you, mr. chairman. and yes, we do need to restore the crumbling infrastructure in our system, reliable transportation infrastructure is important to families, to businesses to economic growth of this country. the question is how do we facilitate that. well, for one thing we need to reassert some fiscal smonbility on the federal government on how they handle these matters and we have to restore some degree and completely flexibility to the states. no one knows better how to maintain the roads and bridges in your back yard in your back towns and cities and states than your local engineers and elected officials and we should do away with the system where we have to come to washington with hat in hand asking permission to make repairs. i think the people in new jersey in my county, in my town are in the best position to do so. perhaps the people on the other side do not have enough faith in their officials to do so. i will yield one minute to mr. sanford and one to mr. woodall. >> i thank my friend from new

mr. garrett: i yield to mr. mcclintock. mr. mcclintock: we hear that the financial crisis of 2008 was because of a lack of regulation. exactly the opposite is true. government regulations specifically the act, compels lenders to make loans to people who couldn't possibly pay them back and then we shifted the losses of these risky loans to taxpayers by fannie mae and freddie mac. this created a financial house of cards that collapsed catastrophically. my colleagues talk about wall street agreed. of course it was wall street greed. government told wall street, you reap the profits and we'll get fannie mae and freddie mac to stick taxpayers with your losses. they took us up on that and then my colleagues are shocked that they did. it used to be that if a bank made a bad loan, they ate the loss. and they went away sadder but wiser. and if a homebuyer took out a bad loan, they lost the collateral and they went away sadder but wiser, but in either case they left the rest of us alone. the damage was limited to the responsible parties.

mr. garrett. rep. garrett: i would like to begin by thanking the chair and the committee for their hard work. the budget resolution that this committee will continue today. back in 2009, president obama took office. the net stood at $10.6 trillion. the federal debt is now over $18 trillion. the debt now represents more than 100% of the gdp. americans own more money towards creditors than the value of all the goods and services produced in the united states in an entire year. this level of debt is unsustainable. in fact, the nonpartisan congressional budget office states that both our high and rising debt would have serious negative consequences for both the economy and the federal budget. admiral mycroft put it best when he said, the single biggest threat to our national security is our debt. we do a disservice to the american people if we are not upfront about the debt. we must be honest about the budget crisis facing this country. we must identify duplications and opportunities for reform in all area

mr. garrett. mr. garrett: thank you. i'd like to begin by thanking the chair, chairman price, and committee as well for their hard work on the budget resolution that this committee will consider today. mr. chairman, as you know back on january 20, 2009, president obama took office, the federal debt stood at that time at $10.6 trillion. now the federal debt is now over $18 trillion. that's an increase over 70%. so the debt now represents more than 100% of the g.d.p. what does that mean? in other words americans owe more money to ids creditors than the value of all the goods and services produced in the united states in an entire year. this level of debt, put it mildly is unsustainable. in fact, the nonpartisan congressional budget office states that, quote, our high and rising debt would have serious negative consequences for both the economy and the federal budget. admiral mike mullen perhaps put it best when he said that quote, the single biggest threat to our national security is our debt. so we do a disservice to the

mr. garrett. i was surprised to find out corporations are considered people and in your book you tell us for the purpose of the federal code the u.s. code, that corporations can be guilty of virtually all of the same crimes people can except rape and murder. >> almost out of time. >> and yes corporations, as you explain in your book get rebilitative types of punish where we get punitive. how is this allowed by law? where is the 14th amendment on this? >> you are right. that is why i wanted to write the book. i wish more individual people got defered prosecution and the focus was on rehabilitating and focused on recovery. there are time doing a lot of time for non-violent crime. and to eric holder's credit he has done and said good things in the last year. but there is a lot of balance that needs to be restored. we care about rehabilitating companies but not so much individual people. i think it is a terrible contrast. >> i think we have to stop in the interest of time. >> i want to say thank you.

mr. garrett: mr. speaker back on january 20, 2009 the day president obama took office, the federal debt and as we stand here today, that's an increase of over 70%. debt now represents 101% of the g.d.p. let's put this in context, americans owe more money than the value of all the goods and services that are produced right here in the united states in one year. that level of debt quite honestly is unsustainable. is nt just me saying that. c.b.o. says our high and rising debt would have serious negative consequences on the economy and the federal budget. admiral mike mullen said, the single biggest threat to our national security is the debt. america is faced with two paths. one to continue down the path of blissful neglect or on the other path to seek an honest solution to it. instead of solving our debt problems, president obama has committed to exacerbating them. the president's budget would add $8.5 trillion to our already staggering debt. but despite new taxes in addition the obama's budget never e

mrs. garrett is getting paid. we're all a party to this. personally offensive is when people argue that players should not be paid because they already have too much of a sense of entitlement and they would feel even more entitled if they were paid for their labors. the coaches have a sense of entitlement, the ncaa has a sense of entitlement. they are entitled to all the money and the sneaker money even though they are not wearing the sneakers. i would much rather have 18 to 22-year-old kids with those billions of dollars in their pockets because they will spend it in their communities. they are not going to stick it in some offshore account and that money never gets circulated back in our country. give the money to the kids. at least they will spend it. if problems develop from that of young people getting that money, there are problems right now with them not get. ing the money. >> so it's interest inging because i think the other argument made in addition is they are being paid. they are being paid in free education. particularly being o

mr. garrett: mr. speaker, it is indeed with a heavy heart that i rise today to honor the life and legacy of one of new jersey's sons staff sergeant augustine. he was killed almost three years ago this week on march 27 2012 while conducting combat operations in afghanistan. in the greatest act of sacrifice possible, he gave his life while protecting his men and women and uniform. i come to the floor and come to the house to introduce legislation that will ensure that stf sergeant augustine's legacy lives on. this legislation will designate the united states postal service located at 1 walter hammond place as the post office billing. no action by this congress could ever repay his sacrifice. this bill will create a memory of his heroism. although this bill passed this bill before last congress unfortunately i, my colleagues did not take it up. i'm hopeful in the house and the senate will take this action to get this bill passed and to sign into law and his legacy will live on. than and with that, i yiel
