welcome, mr. dewine, why did you switch? >> well, you know, i originally bought into the conventional wisdom that governor romney was the strongest candidate against barack obama. but we have elections and primaries and caucuses for a reason and it's become abundantly clear that he's not going to be the strongest candidate against barack obama. i think santorum is. what i'm seeing on the ground here in ohio is a great deal of enthusiasm for rick santorum and very little enthusiasm for governor romney. >> given that mitt romney has won both in arizona and michigan tonight, do you feel like the guy who put everything on red in vegas and came up black? >> well, i don't think governor

mr. welcome back to the big picture i'm tom hartman coming up in this half hour students at the university of virginia are standing up for workers' rights what are they fighting for now the chosen to express their beliefs also do you think increased knowledge would make an individual more understanding of science you would be wrong at least regarding a certain group in our society and insides of daily take some conservatives may be nauseated by the separation of church and state how is it an essential pillar of our democracy. in the most of the roads that is workers across america are underpaid and overworked according to a study by the national center for children in poverty an average two parent family in a moderate cost cities spends nearly seven hundred dollars a month in utilities that is seven hundred dollars a month on food and additional two hundred dollars a month and health insurance at sixteen hundred dollars a just utilities food and health care as a result each parent needs to be making twenty dollars an hour in order to just get by unfortunately most parents and workers in am

mr. chairman, and welcome, mr. zients. couple quick questions for you. senator reid has said we don't need to bring our budget to the floor this year. do you agree with that? >> i think that the most important thing is that -- >> just a yes or no. >> -- that congress act and that we pass the president's policy. >> so yes? yes or no? do you think we should take a budget to the senate floor, yes or no? >> i think the mechanics and the process are not my area of expertise. what i do -- >> that's -- i'll take that as a no. which is consistent with what the white house has said. i find it pretty amazing. >> i will note that the bca as the chairman said -- >> second question, what do you think is the most significant policy issue facing the country in terms of our fiscal policy? what's the single most important thing in terms of our fiscal posture? >> i think it's -- i think it's actually two things. the short term and the long term. short term is continuing this recovery. and we need to make sure that payroll taxes i talked about and other initiatives like tr

mr. chairman. welcome, mr. secretary. i think as the secretary will testify in, fact, this budget represents a plan. represents a responsible plan, a good plan and debate we can really in this committee is not between plan and no plan. it's between two very different visions of how we move forward in this country. what this budget does is three essential things. number one, it helps to nurture and move forward our very fragile recovery. i think we all know that when president obama was sworn in, the dme was in total free fall. we now know in the last quarter 2008, we were negative 8.9% of gdp. mr. chairman, you mentioned when the previous secretary of treasury came here the economy was in crisis. that's exactly right. that's the crisis the president inherited in january when the president was sworn in, we were losing over 800,000 jobs every month. they began to reverse it. we passed legislation and help ed rescue the auto industry and many other measures. the reality is that today for the last 23 months, we have seen over

welcome. congratulations. getting back to something that mr. mcclintock talked about in extolling the virtues and the record of former president reagan in helping to bring us out of a significant recession at the time, i want to just read a quote. we're going to close the unproductive tax loopholes that have allowed some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share. some were understandable. but in practice, they sometimes made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing while a bus driver was paying 10% of his salary and that's crazy. it's time we stopped it. now if i was going to quiz the members here on who might -- we might have attributed that quote to, i bet it wouldn't be at the much to anyone's mind that that was from a speech by ronald reagan at north side high school in atlanta, georgia, on june 6th, 1985. >> no one would have guessed that warren buffett would say the same thing. >> exactly. he said i would raise rates immediately on taxable income, including dividend and capital gains. and for those who made $10 million or m

mr. welcome back to the big picture i'm tom.

and finally, we welcome mr. timothy heenan, the vice president for treasury and tax at praxair, inc. they provide the largest amount of gases for north and south american. he joined them from 2004 from . thank you all very much for your time today. the committee has received each of your written statements. they'll be made part of the formal hearing record. each of you will be recognized for five minutes for your oral remarks so mr. frit, we'll begin with you. you're recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. >> good morning. chairman camp, ranking member levin, i very much appreciate this opportunity to appear before you to day to discuss the importance of tax reform to fed fedex. we believe that reducing the u.s. corporate tax rate significantly to be more in line with the rest of the developed world is essential to overall economic and job growth and will help our company continue to invest in critical infrastructure to compete and grow. before i delve into the details of how we analyze tax reform, i'd like t

mr. acodecosta , welcome. >> happy new year. i think 2012 is going to be a very challenging year and a good way. i am here to talk about the san francisco redevelopment agency, and at some of the changes that are being fostered. not because the city needs it, but because the state demands that somebody take charge of the assets and a one ever has been grandfathered in. so they have to do it rather quickly. after the martin luther king holidays we did not get sufficient time when the meeting was held for some sort of resolution being presented. today that same resolution will be before the board of supervisors, and if they vote on it, then all of the details will be taken care of. and whether you like it or not, and i am talking about the san francisco public utilities commission, with all that's happening with the america's cup, this, that, and the other, the larger properties of mission bay, hunters point, candlestick point, comes under your jurisdiction or one way or another. whether it is you wersewer, clen water, and also, e

mr. chairman. welcome, mr. secretary. first of all, i think one of the critical issues facing this economy and has persistently is the lack of confidence about the future and the lack of direction and certainty about various policies that are emanating from government or not emanating from congress and the administration. my biggest concern is that we have not created an environment of confidence as represented in this budget here today. by all accounts, this is the worst post-recession recovery in the history of our country, the longest term of unemployment. we have already, you know, increased the national debt by 44%, 45% under this administration. we are going on to the fourth consecutive year of historic annual deficits. so we have seen on the spending side and yet we still have a subpar anemic, weak recovery. if lu to the future as senator grassley indicated about the cbo projections, the fourth quarter of 2013 is a 1.1% economic growth projection, 9.1% of unemployment. it's not only concerns about the facts today t

mr. chairman. welcome, mr. attorney general. thank you for being here and showing such dignity and honor in the face of some attempts to suggest you're other than a dignified and honorable attorney general serving his country well. and i just think, for the record, welcome on groundhog day. we heard that punxsutawney phil saw his shadow, so we have six more weeks. and it's fitting that you're here for the sixth time before congress. with repeated attempts to try to pin something on you and this president that cannot be pinned. and it is my firm hope that at some point the majority would actually ak wee ez to the request to have your predecessor, mr. mccasey come here, and talk about wide receiver and his knowledge of that program in gun running. mr. holder, i assume there's a law that specifically forbids the trafficking of firearms, particularly if that trafficking ends up arming drug cartels or if the weapons are subsequently found at crime scenes. is that not the case? >> we don't have a federal trafficking sach yut. that's o

mr. chairman. welcome, mr. secretary. and thank you all for all that you are doing. let me begin by saying that i agree with senator shaheen and many others. that it is absolutely imperative that we pass the production tax credit in 1603. it is beyond comprehension to me that we are not moving forward aggressively, and i think the administration for their support on that. i also want to thank you for your help in vermont's smart grid. i think we will be probably the first state in america that have almost universal smart meters within a few years. we think if we're serious about energy efficiency and using electricity as efficiently as we can, this will be a major step forward. i hope vermont can learn -- the nation can learn from what vermont will be doing. we want to share that with the rest of the country. mr. secretary, it seems to me that one of the sad moments in terms of what's happening in our country today is the degree congress, we are not dealing with the horrendous planetary crisis of global warming. and it is -- and i say this not to be terribly partisan

mr. chairman. welcome, mr. secretary. i would like to ask you about identity theft and tax fraud. in the fall of last year my local police chief, she said where are all the criminals on the street? all the drug dealers were gone. all the other petty theft criminals gone off the street. they thought we're doing a great job. crime is down. then they raided a motel with rooms where they had laptops set up one after another and they found where all the criminals were, and they were filing fraudulent identities to claim the filing the tax returns to get refunds. they have quite a racket going on. they call it turbo tax because it is so easy and they can put in hundreds of these and you should see what the postmaster general has, just row afro of those debit cards -- row after fais row of debit cards, green cards, other checks coming to post office boxes and in fact the bust last year was $130 million worth. they think that's just the tip of the iceberg. this is not just in tampa, florida. this is happening all over the country. we have got to get a handle on it. here is one of the prob

mr. chairman. welcome, madam secretary. i'll -- hopefully the mike will pick me up. >> i can hear you fine. >> as representative mccall pointed out, this is a one-year anniversary of the death of agent zapata. before i get to the budget, i would like to take a moment for what you have done for the zapata family but we are starting to receive inconsistent information from various agencies about how that progresses and if you could help with that, the zapata family and i would appreciate staying up to date on that. >> all right. >> with are respect to the budget, i know mr. walsh talked about the fact that despite the overall budget decreased, we are looking at the fee that passengers pay. it seems like -- i applaud you for cutting spending but i'm a little concerned about raising taxes, especially when we're not really seeing a need there. we've got the tsa actually working better than it has in the past and we've got a lot of our technology expenditures under control. why the need for increasing that fee? >> well, thank you

mr. chairman. welcome. >> thank you. >> i'll be brief. the question here is not whether or not gm is making good cars and whether or not it's coming back. i think it is, and we take great pride this that, and i think the president did last night. is this, in your history, recognition and as far as you know a typical response to a typical catastrophic event? is this less aggressive or more aggressive in their response to a brand new automobile? >> as we speak, there's about 8,000. >> there were about 4,000 when this occurred. you may be making 400 a day, but you're selling far less than that. 4,000 or less in june or july, 8,000 or so now. the question is when this occurred -- >> yes. >> the director said, administrator said that it takes six months to do it, but in your experience, would you consider this to be an aggressive response, an average response, or a little slower than average when it comes to when it lights up your phone and they come running in and have emergency meetings and the it's all you can focus on even though you are b

please, join me in welcoming mr. sean hill.plause]. >> i want to read from blood and brown liquor today. this book is about my home town in georgia. it's also where [inaudible] is from. and i started researching the history of [inaudible] and sort of fell into the history of black people there because it was not taught in school. so -- in order to write about the history i had to invent a character to explore this history. the character's name is si loss wright. >> first poem i will read is titled silos write at age 71914. it's about silos follows a fishing riggel in the shallows. he describes the line in his tablet as much pride in that line as a man and his son. he giggles and goes on. the next letters come easy. with this he will have more than a mark to bind. rambling across the page again and again in messy rows along it flows until he goes off the page's edge. he smiles. he's surprised to hear when his mouth opens. that's mine. so, this really lovely book that georgia put together for me has great painting on the cover. a

[applause] >> th

mr. speaker i welcome this opportunity for the house to discuss the issue and i'm grateful that the foreign secretary agreed to make a statement this afternoon. the foreign secretary's statement is made in the dark shadow of the brutal slaughter continuing even today with news of scores more people murdered in homs in the last 24 hours alone. to all be clear the responsibility of the death of these innocent people lies at the door of president assad and his murderous regime. there is clear agreement across this house, and indeed across much of the international community that the regime has no future and that assad must government the tragedy is notwithstanding that fact the slaughter still continues. for the international community condemnation is not enough. comprehensive diplomatic efforts are required. that is why the recent failure of which the foreign secretary has just spoken to reach agreement in the security council is such a stain on the conscious of the world. i therefore welcome points made by the foreign secretary setting out next steps that the british government will take to

mr. chairman. welcome, director. >> thank you. >> thank you for all of your gr. hard work and your whole team. the economy is getting better. we've had 23 months of private sector job growth. the unemployment rate is at its lowest level in three years.owi. i think the first chart we had up is, you know, tells the t's c story. small business confidence is growing. that >> uh-huh. >> but it's clear that your n country must do more to accelerate job creation so thatn our neighbors have good jobs. and nonpartisan cbo gave us some good healthy advice just a few months ago and director elmendorf reiterated that when he was here just a week or two ago.as if america can create more jobs, we can reduce the deficit. so it's very important to see the administration's job tion's creation strategy that also doubles as a debt reduction ion strategy.i'd li i'd like you to focus in a litt little bit on the administration's job creation strategy. i know it hasn't been easy because the president's american jobs act has been blocked by thn republican congress. but i'm happy to see

mr. chairman. and welcome to the committee, mr. cordray. i'm pleased you are here with us today. i wanted to ask about -- well, much of the debate to repay rule under dodd/frank seems to center under whether qualified mortgage sh either be safe harbor or rebutable presumption. the concern has been expressed rebutable assumption that will result in overly cautious underwriting and less consumer access to credit. can you share with me your views on the safe harbor rebutable presumption? >> sure. so, the ability to repay rule, as you know, and as you mentioned, is one of the rules congress has required us to adopt to try to fix what we're seeing and what were irregular problems in the mortgage market. i mean, you would think you wouldn't really need to have a rule where the lender pays attention to whether the borrower can repay the loan but securitization practice and other things created misaligned incentives so we're to adopt that rule. one issues we've heard maybe most about with respect to that rule thus far and we aren't even to the proposed rule stage, although it is a rule w

mr. chairman. welcome back. >> thank you, congressman. >> i enjoyed our last discussion. and congratulate your daughters watching you work. >> thank you. >> i'm sure they will learn something. one thing i learned being on this budget committee is your job is to be neutral in your responses, respond in ways that are objective and honest in terms of -- and not be shaded by some of our -- the way we would like to lead our questions or -- and have some sort of response that appears to be favorable or unfavorable. so i appreciate the difficulty of your task at your grasp of your -- of the information that you have, having to respond to different folks here. having said that -- >> now you're going to stump me. you're going to set me up. >> no, i'm trying to just reflect my thinking in that, you know, the kinds of things that we're trying to struggle with here in the budget committee on behalf of the country. i think every member of congress knows that we do have a deficit and a debt problem that deserves our serious attention. and the attention should be looked at in terms of t

i would like to welcome the administrator and mr. rush. good thing we have drilling and fracking that will have us move to the future, without that we could not access the natural gas. i am hoping that epa will not regulate and try to stop the natural gas. your request is for 8.3 billion to fund the epa, i have been quoted that i want to go line by line, but unfortunately the documents that we have been given does not give us an idea of where the money is planning to go and how it is supposed to be spent. hopefully this hearing will flush that out and we will get clarification so we know where the money you are requesting is designed and going. based upon what i see, only 1% less spending is proposed from last year, with such a minimum decrease from an agency who has been skyrocketing budgets. we are not using our efforts to scale back spending. whether it's clean air, solid waste, disposal, all the programs deserve a complete review. and i hope we will work together to have a transparent look at where the dollars are flowing at the epa. i

welcome to the big picture. mr. few. welcome back to the rubble chris solomon richard a fall or jack do sick let's get back to it as the winter begins to wind down the occupy wall street movement is heating up just in time for spring however while the ninety nine percent is still fuming at the injustices of growing inequality in america it appears that this newly energized form of occupy is kind of occupy two point zero with a much more mainstream momentum and what seems like a more streamlined purpose so now that the occupy movement is redefining itself and beginning to really gain some momentum couldn't really cause some trouble for republicans during the rest of the election cycle is it possible that occupiers could achieve tea party like influence chris. i don't think so. i don't think so because their whole movement is based on greed and wanting what somebody else have and why understand when you say ninety nine percent who are the ninety nine percent everybody who makes under three hundred twenty two thousand dollar
