mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. the 90th anniversary of white castle, 25 cent hamburger, came in that little cardboard box you could buy four of them for $1. the price has gone up now, but i got a feeling that this congress continues to do business like it has, we will be eating about two of those little small hamburgers for dinner every single day. what they want to do, ladies and gentlemen, on the republican side, is to cut medicare and cut medicaid and do everything they can to take care of their wealthy patrons with another round of tax cuts. it's like a drunken binge that they have been on with these tax cuts, trickle-down economics, ladies and gentlemen, does not work. it has not trickled down. in fact it has closed off to where all of the money stays up top. it never trickles down to the bottom. we got to change that. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the clerk: the honorable the speaker, house of representatives. s

mr. johnson: -- mr. thune: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from south dakota is recognized. mr. thune: last week i had the opportunity to travel my state of south dakota as i think most senators who were home over the break did. during the week i was able to be part of a couple of events in my state with former comptroller general david walker. i think most people here are acquainted with mr. walker. he had a ten-year run as the comptroller general of this country. he has since started an organization called come back america initiative and has been traveling the country trying to explain to the public the issues surrounding our national debt, high federal spending levels and their effect on our nation's future. i would add that he is someone who takes both parties to task. he is an equal opportunity critic. he is very bipartisan in his criticism of the out-of-control spending that exists here in washington, d.c. but he did point out, mr. president, the tremendous growth in government which has occurred in t

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. you know, since this president's taken office, we've had failed stimulus, omnibus, tarp 2, government motors, government takeover of health care. well, the buck stops here. literally. house republicans refuse to give the spender in chief a blank check to pay for his reckless ways. if the president even wants to think about moving forward with the debt limit increase he needs to know americans want congress to drastically cut spending. across the nation people have cut back, stretched their hard-earned dollars in order to make it through these tough times. the government must do the same. we're facing a debt crisis because washington spends too much and wastes too much. raising the debt limit without a deep spending cut amounts to a barack obama big government bailout. enough is enough. stop the obama bailout now. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california -- from texas rise? ms. jackson lee: to address the house f

mr. johnson the campaign manager ran rick perry's campaign for governor last time.these guys got mad at newt and they figured, you know, what he's not going to win, we're going to leave and formed a campaign in waiting. and what the governor says, and i talked to david carney today and others today, they said the governor has said the texas legislature finishes its session in two weeks or so, he will look again at the question, but he's inclined not to run. do you believe it? >> i don't know what to believe. honestly, i really don't know what to believe. again, you put one and one together sometimes, and you get two. and the question that awful us asked is okay, it's not as if you're going to be able to draw a direct line between these people leaving and okay, they're going to jump en masse to another campaign. so it wouldn't be the cause of their leaving, but it could be the effect of their leaving could be that they end up working for perry if he runs. >> if you're governor perry, rich galen, and you're thinking about this and you're thinking, okay, i'm from texas

mr. steve johnson, police officers association. i don't know what, if any, recourse we have when a member of the public comes up here and slanders one of our police officers. i'm not talking about gary. he's president of the union. big boy. he can take care of himself. i'm talking about another officer referred to earlier. but whatever recourse we have, whatever legal recourse we have, we're going to take. we're going to take against any individual who comes up here and says things that are not true. they're not true. i personally know officer ricky guerrero is a good cop. i hope you will keep an open mind, which i'm sure you will. >> thank you plrks johnson. next speaker? if there are no further speakers, public commonet is now closed. please call lynam number three. >> reports and announcements, chief's report. reports on crimes, stats, statistics review of recent activity, status update on activities since the h.r.c. joint meeting. >> good evening, chief, sir. how are you? >> good evening. i'm well. >> clyde, you're out of here.

mr. johnson. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for four minutes. mr. johnson: thank you. madam speaker, i rise to point out that once again we find ourselves in a familiar situation. once again, under the guise of fiscal responsibility, austerity and a blind allegiance to supply stood voodoo economics gimmicks, republicans have brought forth another effort to cut away the social safety net this time kicking low-income mothers and their young children into the depths of hunger and food insecurity. it's like deja vu. just months ago democrats defended the american people from the ryan republican plan to turn medicare into a voucher program. unfortunately, the plan to get rid of medicare was passed with the unanimous support of every single republican in the house. now, here we stand once again trying to prevent republicans from delivering a swift kick to the stomaches of low-income mothers, many of whom are already struggling to get by during this economic downturn. reducing w.i.c. funding by more than half a billion dollars in the name of deficit reduction while unanimousl

mr. johnson.st: the battle between the big banks and then in may, it was a very interesting relationship that was a love/hate relationship, because the banks wanted to be able to sell the loans to fannie mae, but they also did not want any made to get too big so that they could compete with them. also be made felt the same way. they wanted to be able to buy the loans, but they did not what the banks to usurp their position. there was this conflict and tension between the two entities, and in the late stages mania, wall street took the ball and ran with it. host: tennessee and next. every time theyng the come up with a program to make things fair for everyone, it ends up being unfair to everyone. when president bush asked congress to have hearings on fannie mae, it was maxine waters and barney frank that stop the whole thing. who can forget her saying i think you are doing a good job, and how much money did he steal, and why is no one in jail over this? guest: this is a question that i get a lot. a
