mr. speaker, mr. speaker, mr. eaker can the chancellor confirmed that the poorestill still bear a greater burden than the richest with a middle squeezed even further and that women are shouldering-- does he still claimed that these measures are progressive and fair? mr. speaker there is an alternative approach. the chancellor finished, the chancellor finish by suggesting that their cuts were the same as ours. this is complete, this is complete, even more under complete nonsense mr. speaker. for two reasons. first of all, the party opposite calculated this 20% figure by some-- that stretch the limits, stretch the limit of the credibility of a protected department. secondly because the chancellor hasn't caught up with the act that we put forward a whole series of measures where we agreed for interest on the increase in capital gains tax, where we agree that there should be changes, where we agreed that there should be changes in welfare. the chancellor hasn't caught up with the statements we have made concerning the

mr. speaker, is this. why should a family on 45,000 pounds, where one person stays at home, lose their child benefit? but a family on 80,000 benefits, where both partners in the couple are working, should keep their benefits in? it does not strike people as fair? it does not strike me as fair. does it strike the prime minister fair? >> let me try putting it to this way to the hon. gentleman. think about it like this. there are thousands of people in his constituency earning one sixth of what he earns. through their taxes, they will be paying for his child benefits. is that really fair? >> i am afraid these are not straight answers. you should provide straight answers for stirred questions. >> i am not defending the rich, mr. speaker. [scoffing] >> order. the leader of the opposition will be heard. if there are colleagues who wish to catch the eye of the chair, they are diluted. [laughter] >> i am defending the police inspector. i am just asking a simple question. the prime minister used to agree with me. h

mr. speaker. ive coverage on c-span2. >> this morning ahead meetings >> this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others and, in addition to my duties in the house, i shall have further such meetings later today. >> during this parliament, our contributions to the european union will increase by £17.5 billion, so yesterday's cuts to the defense budget will not go to reduce the deficit, but to subsidize our european partners. this is obscene. what would the prime minister like to say to the european union? obscene. what would the prime minister like to say to the european union? >> first of all the point is it was the previous government that gave away eight billion pounds of rebates and got nothing in return. we will not accept any increase in the eu budget. we called for a cash freeze in the size of the budget for 2011 and we're working hard to take this across europe. yesterday spoke to the new dutch prime minister. tried to make sure as we make difficult decisions at home we d

mr. speaker. the appointments of the matrix as the preferred bidder for the project had been terminated. it is a disappointment for the armed forces who need those facilities and a disappointment for wales and the welsh economy. the statement goes on to say alternative options will begin as soon as possible. can the prime minister give us assurance that the site will remain prominent among the options? >> i absolutely can give him that assurance. what happened is the current program is not affordable as currently set out. this is not the end of the road. there are straining that takes place there now. everyone knows that they need to train together why, and state actions is perfectly positioned for that. -- and the athenst. athens is py positioned for that. >> [inaudible] those are all due for refacing deficit reports. without that, 3000 jobs are our rest. can you tell the house what discussions he had with the band's industires prior to this announcement? >> i know the hon. lady has a very strong

mr. speaker hillary's pollster points out a plurality of voters say obama's change has hurt america. another poll says majority of americans say the tea party can change washington. how do you interpret those two polls together? >> first of all, look at the poll about change. i've always said that obama promised change you can believe in, not change what you believe in. i think that has gotten to the core of where americans are. they don't want to change their system, our free enterprise system the ability for people to get ahead. the hope that year kids have a better future than you did. on the other side of the issue, that's a tossup. i can't get further on that. >> sean: you think nancy pelosi is the speaker in the next congress? >> no, i don't. as a matter of fact, i think even if the democrats win, which i don't think they will win, i don't think nancy pelosi will be speaker. >> sean: why do you that i is al? why does she poll so well? lowest approval ratings of any speaker in modern history. >> she is also one of the strongest speakers in modern history. >> sean: why are her po

mr. speaker welcome. you are at the counter terrorism education learning lab for america at risk right now, right? >> that's right. the counter terrorism education learning lab is a brilliant museum in denver. i wish every american city had one. if anybody comes to denver the city of john elway, i hope if they are going to see in remarkable museum about terrorism around the world. i'm here tonight to talk about threats to the united states. but i have to say, your opening these guys create the longest, deepest recession, since the great depression. in june more americans were on food stamps than ever before in history. the democrats have become the party of food stamps. the republicans are becoming the party of paychecks. the guys who have made the unemployment, killed the jobs, created the food stamps are now complaining that the american people don't like that future? i think it is sad they can't stand up and defend their own policies. >> sean: what you are saying is that if you want unemployment, you w

mr. speaker, you really did it this time. she is not happy with you. >> i don't understand what she is so upset about. i took a fact that in june we paid more people food stamps than ever before in american history. i took a fact which is their job-killing policies on taxes and regulations have made this the longest, deepest recession since the great depression. and i took a fact that the democrats left town without passing a new tax law leaving every business in america uncertain about their january taxes, less than 90 days away. and i suggested that their policies kill jobs and therefore food stamps may be right symbol for the democratic party. she seemed to get very up set >> greta: i think she didn't like the way it was framed. tell when you run, you can either -- you can say democrats are the party of food stamps, while the gop is the party for paychecks. she responded, she said that food stamps is the biggest bang for the buck when you do food stamps and unemployment insurance it is the biggest bang for the buck. she sa

mr. speaker, i believe we have begun to deal with all of these things and fitting britain's defenses for the future. many people feel this is a profound opportunity. it has been chaoticly conducted. it has been hastily prepared and it is simply not creditable as strategic blueprint. over in the house of lords the critics were out in force. >> i know a strategic review. i've done a strategic review. this is not a strategic review. >> my lord, i can not say that i welcome the statement on this cash-driven defense review. but i certainly can't possibly dignify it with the word "strategic." i rather think this is not so much strategic defense review more -- it's butchery of our defense capability. >> either way, these cuts are real. david cameron says he wants britain to still punch above its weight. from now on they will have to do so with fewer ships, planes and trains. >> in pakistan at least 20 people have been killed in the port city of karachi. one incident the gunman open fired in a market where used cars and machine parts are being traded. the gunman could have claim as many as 30 li

mr. speaker? let me give him another -- [talking over each other] >> he didn't answer that one. the energy secretary says -- he is there, excellent. the energy sector -- secretary says the government should not be latched to the chancellor at spending numbers were economic circumstances to change. does the prime minister agree and particularly at the end of november with the forecast for unemployment next year does the prime minister think suspending judgment of the government should change? >> to respond to what he said, is a normal concept but in this government the prime minister has the chance to speak to each other. it comes as unemployment. the independent office of budget responsibility we have established as fully independent is forecasting that unemployment will fall next year and for year after that. is forecasting that employment. one question at a time, please. and also forecast that employment will rise next year and a year after that. that is the independent forecast. one of the reasons for that as we have taken the economy out of the danger zone. he interested in

mr. speaker? are you seeing it the same way i am. >> no. i think you are right. i might add in dissatisfaction with the democratic congress as well as owe bottom matchett but it's -- obama. a very popular democratic governor in deep trouble now because obama is something like 28% approval in the latest fox news poll. on the other hand, in connecticut, where the democrat is doing pretty well, obama is relatively popular. but i think that the unemployment numbers are the ultimate killers and i think when the unemployment number comes out this coming friday, it will be one more body blow to the democrats. and then, frankly, the fact that they left town without passing a tax bill, every business i have talked to has said the level of irresponsibility of going home with no business in america knowing what its taxes will be on january 1st. >> bill: i can tell you what they are going to be. i will tell you right now. they are going to keep the bush tax cut. they are not going to overturn that that's what's going to happen. the democratic party is in such bad shape now a

mr. speaker it called for individuals to serve in the military or attend an institution such as this to educateelves so they don't become wards of the state because you're not for that. i think it's also important of this whole thing of kicking the ball down the field, securing the borders, we've been talking about that for 15, 20 years. it's important for us to move toward comprehensive ill grags reform. i'm the only one who's voted for it because i understand that as a former state trooper in enforcing the law. you can't piecemeal law making and say we'll do this, we'll do that. now, there's a guy by the name of rick scott who's running for governor here in florida and a combination between marco rubio and rick scott will send his florida economy down into the hole. rick scott wants to have an arizona-style race -- >> let me just bring you in. i'm going to start enforcing 30 seconds because we have more questions. 30 seconds to address. >> earned path to citizenship is basically cold for amnesty. the reality of this. this has to do with fwom line that american cannot be the only country in th

mr. speaker, some people opposite for for some members opposite, this is their ideological objective. (cheers and applause) not all. not all of them. not all of them but for many of them this is what they came in politics for. >> reporter: a bit of shoving but not exactly paris street fighting outside downing street tonight. george osborne knows that the stakes of his leap into the unknown are great. he only tweaked his overall deficit plans today, adding an extra two billion pound wedge of capital spending. he staked the coalition's$x reputation on going faster and deep we are cuts than labour said was wise and he's gambled that the pain was l seem worthwhile in four and a half year's time. >> brown: for more on all of this we turn to ned temko in london. he's a writer for the british paper, "the observer," and recently completed a book on british politics. and here in washington, zanny minton beddoes is economics editor at "the economist" magazine. ned temko, to you first, the new coalition government had said it was going to take strong action but did the size and scope still jar p

mr. speaker, first you. how comfortable with mainstream republicans with some of the tea party candidates? >> first of all you're in colorado. and it can be very divisive state. you have a lot of moderates, and you have an awful lot of conservatives. i think buck does appeal to conservatives, and to an extent the middle. >> the key to bennet is that he did much better in the primary than people thought he would do. he's turn out to be a decent candidate even though he's never run for anything before. colorado has gone democratic in the last couple of elections. this thing is very much up for grabs. bennet has a real shot at winning, and it's just a question of, do people in colorado get embarrassed by some of the tea party stands that other tea party candidates have taken around the country, and do they take another look at the republicans and say, well maybe we don't want a tea party guy representing us? >> let me show you a little bit more about what happened when christine o'donnell in delaware went out c

next speaker. >> mr. president, supervisors, i speak to you today with a very sorrowful heart because over the weekend [inaudible] mr. david thompson. i knew him well before he entered into politics. the person who train him, but the father of our independence. and he has be changed so well that he followed in the footsteps -- he has been trained so well that he followed in the footsteps of mr. barrow. so has he has passed, i will save this -- as time goes its frame, [inaudible] supervisor chiu: thank you very much. next speaker. >> my name is sheila walters. i'm here to talk to you about ferry park. on monday, the bulldozers will be sent by heart and rhett to tear up the park. this is the park right here. this is very hard right here. the ferry building over here. they change the name to sue bierman park, and that was wrong. after the quake, i created ferry park, which was the most beautiful, and the most economically-run park in the city. just with one gardner, it can be run, and it has been run. it is

mr. king's reappointment. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker please. >> rev. arnold townsend, representing san francisco naacp today. let me be cautious because if i talk too much and too fast about mr. king, i will get emotional. there is an overwhelming amount of things that we could say, but let me just -- one story i remember him telling me -- i do not know if you all know it or not, but there was a time when people look like the three of us were not even welcome in the supervisors' chambers until mr. king and some other longshoreman kick in some doors, and i mean that literally. the supervisor chamber doors, because of those kinds of policies. he is a hero, a mentor, a father figure for so many of us. for thousands. he was walking home one night about 11:00, and i was with a friend of mine, and he was walking down the street towards his home, and she asked about him walking down the street by himself, and i said that nobody would bother him. that would be suicide in this community. right now, we are running over to turk street because a project that mr. ki

supervisor campos: next speaker, mr. brown, though, giants, though, buster -- go, buster posey. >> who could think we were going to go this far this year? it is fantastic. the task force took away my seat. you had a neighborhood representative that would be a journalist. if any group needs sunshine, it is this group. i think i have a little bit of connections in city hall, and i cannot get a list of their meetings. they do not announced when it is. they he raised me off the list. it does not have to be me, but you need a journalist. the league of women voters puts people inside the dallas certification committee. three or four of the ladies in there are journalists. you need a journalist in said that committee. a doctor -- you can bet the doctor is going to be in somebody's pocket. i'm not going to get into the politics, but you need a journalist on that committee. write a journalist in, and i would be glad to compete, i would be glad to news, but you need a voice reporting to the public. supervisor campos: thank you. ne

mr. kornfield, the speaker mentioned vv? >> that is the type of construction of the building. it is a type five unrated building. that is any kind of bill permitted under the code. i understand this is a fully strengthened building. i want to point out that roof decks are not considered stories under the building code. i do not think that is a particular issue. the strength of the building allows great increases in height and area. if i may respond to the question that was asked previously about the orientation, from the photographs i was able to look at, it looks like one of these kitchen units is in another direction from what the plan shows. thank you. commissioner fung: commissioners, the question before us is was the department at fault, whether in the issuance of the permit. most of the speakers did not address that to the extent that the appellant did, or the jurisdiction requestor brought it up. and the points that he brought up related to where he thought the department was in error, or at a point more that are not totally definitive. however, the question is, in my o
