respond to the issue, the fact of helping san francisco for those individuals a live audience and mrs. doe, people are eligible for access to health care. that is one way of managing the cuts. so -- i am not sure about the state cuts. it sounds like the health care workers are working in the homes. >> just shoveled a light on its -- shed a little light on it. the dental has no support, for instance. >> just to respond, i think that issue is an important one, not just for the home workers, but a bigger issue facing a lot of workers in the city. it is a very difficult discussion and a very difficult situation. one of the things that is causing it though is we are facing these deficits and we are seeing high demands for services and one of the things creating a lot of pressure on the city for all costs is the cost of benefits. so, nobody is excited about having that conversation, because we are looking at a growing need for services, even with the state's cuts to a lot of our social safety net programs. there is a growing costs associated with those programs, and we are having to try to look

-- does the gentleman request the yeas and nays? the chair: i -- mr. waxman: i request the yeas and nays. the chair: all proceedings will be postponed. it is now in order to consider amendment number 7 printed in house report 112-54. for what purpose does the the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? mr. quigley: i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 7 printed in house report 112-54 offered by mr. quigley of illinois. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 203, the gentleman from illinois, mr. quigley, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from illinois. mr. quigley: thank you, madam chairman and to the ranking member and chairman. my amendment would require that the g.a.o. report to congress the results of a study of health care costs in the u.s. as affected by the elittle nation of e.p. regulation under this act. further report would also detail cost in the u.s. preceding under the current regulatory as determined in 2007 i

mr. paulson. does anyone else wish to speak? public comment is closed.ant to thank the comptroller's office. i want to thank the outside auditors for their work, and i also want to thank the department's staff, who came to present to this committee, and you cannot have clean and open government without a robust oversight function. we take this very seriously. it is important for us to be very open about the areas where there is the need for improvement. it is important for us to hear back from the department, about the steps that they are taking to discuss these efficiencies. with this or any other report. hun-- we can file this item without objection? i want to thank every member of the public for being here. is there any other business. >> no further business. >> meeting adjourned. thank you.

mr. grijalva: how much time does both sides have? the chair: the gentleman from arizona has 9 1/4 minutes remaining. the gentleman from indiana has 3 3/4 minutes remaining. mr. grijalva: thank you. the chair: the gentlewoman from california. ms. waters: thank you very much. the gentleman from alabama evidently has amnesia. the clinton administration eliminated the deficit and left a balanced budget. it was the bush administration that created the deficit. i rise in strong support for this the progressive caucus alternative balanced people's budget. during the last administration, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle maxed out our nation's credit card for wars and tax cuts for the rich. all the while saying deficits don't matter. now they are in an identity crisis as a rationale to undermine programs they have never supported and push a divisive social agenda that's a sideshow to our budget debate. mr. speaker, this country is not broke. we have spent our money on wars and tax credits for the very rich and now it's time to gene

mr. harper does not have your priorities in mind. his priorities are jets, jails, and corporate tax giveaways. our priorities are to help canadian families get an education for their kids, college and universities, early learning and child care for families that need it, home rentals so they can make their families more energy-efficient, and restore canada's broad place in the world. i hope he will vote liberal, but most of all, thank you for taking part in this debate tonight. >> i wanted think canadians for their honor and trust, having served as your prime minister of the past five years, including over some very difficult economic times. it has kept us focused on the economy, and delivering affordable business -- benefits to people. and as a consequence, canada is the greatest country in the world. it is emerging from this recession stronger and faster than just about anyone. that is what we need parliament to focus on. we need a strong, stable, majority government. we have a job to finish, and we would be honored to do it. >> ba

mr. moo ring is being obstinate, and he does not want to temporarily relocate. we find that this interference is wholly inappropriate, and most importantly, our building -- our goal is to renovate a building and make it beautiful and allow them to come back, including mr. mooring, and he would be given an upgraded building. but.director goldstein: i am sorry per your time is wop -- your time is up. the timer is not working, but your time is up. president goh: you said he could come back at the same rent? >> at the time of him coming back again at the completion of the renovation project, because no past repetition has been filed, he would be entitled to come in at the bread that is currently in place. if my clients and chooses to submit a pastor petition, he has the right to contest the pass through and also has the right to allege a hardship so his rent will not be increased due to his economic situation. the concern we have is essentially one person is potentially through this jurisdictional issue prickling in renovation project of a nine- unit building and al

mr. hilland does not qualify for seat three, since his certification has lapsed. >> thanks, supervisor kim. i think, once again, we have a lot of great applicants here. for both seats. it seems to me that megan is the only one qualified for seat three, so i think that is, at least in my opinion, an easy one. the first one is obviously much tougher. two people who are currently assigned and one person who couldn't be here the last time. that means that in the future we'd love to find a way to get bonnie back on. but right now i find it difficult, and mr. hilland is a strong candidate to continue to serve and so would support him continuing in seat one and then megan for seat three. supervisor kim: so we have a motion to move forward. mr. hilland for seat one and ms. suts land for seat three, with recommendation to the full board. i see no objection. i just really want to add, again, this is the tough part of being on rules committee is how qualified our applicants are and continue every week at the level of expertise and enthusiasm for the folks that come on for a variety of activities and

mr. chairman. at this time i yield to the gentlelady from tennessee. the chair: how much time does the gentleman yield? mr. rokita: two minutes. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized for two minutes. mrs. blackburn: thank you. i appreciate the gentleman for yielding to me and i appreciate the time and the opportunity to stand and speak against the progressive caucus budget because it is a budget that once again will spend too much money. and, mr. speaker, one of the things that we have heard from the american people is this -- they are tired of the federal government spending taxpayer money for programs they don't want, spending money that they don't have. and it is time for us to put this fiscal house in order. now, quite frankly, i think that today is a really great day. when we get to the end of this legislative day and the end of this legislative week, we will pass the ryan budget which turns an enormous corner for our nation. over the next 10 years, it will reduce spending, not by millions and billions, but by trillions. $6.2 trillion over the next 10 years. those are the k

mr. mooring does not want to transition out, and this is what is underlying the dispute, in that he simply does not want to handle that issue, and that is an issue that is required in order for my client to write for the renovate a building in san francisco that has not been renovated for many, many years or decades. my client is doing a service to the community, and we believe that mr. mooring is standing in the way of that. commissioner hwang: thank you. i have nothing further. director goldstein: is there department comment? mr. duffy? inspector duffy: this was over the council approval, and i heard the eyebrows comment about the cost. certainly, four bathrooms, a kitchen and bathroom remodeling, it seems a lot. again, if you were going to do the job right, maybe not so much that he wants to do that in his building, typically, in these types of buildings, we would see maybe and lower-cost because they are probably not the high- and finishes -- high-end finishes, but it is in the realm of possibilities. regarding been noticed it, we did get a complaint, and we went with my district build

mr. shuster: i appreciate the gentleman. that is my intent is to strengthen this again. this does strengthen the law because it will give it judicial review. at this point i'm not willing to withdraw the amendment. mr. costello: you are not willing --? mr. shuster: not willing to withdraw. mr. costello: i thank the gentleman and we continue to oppose the gentleman's amendment and i reserve. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. shuster: -- the chair: gentleman has 15 seconds remaining. mr. shuster: i urge my colleagues to pass this amendment and will make the skies safe in aviation travel even than it is today. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from illinois. mr. costello: we strongly oppose the amendment and it will add additional red tape and there is no evidence at all that the f.a.a. regulations are history. in fact, favor anyone other than there has been a reluctance on the part of the industry to comply with regulations and this will drag it out even further and have a negative effect on those pending regulations

mr. olson, does have the right to close. and has one minute remaining. and the gentleman from texas, mr. cuellar, has 2 1/2 minutes remaining. so the chair will -- does the gentleman from michigan wish to reserve the time? does the gentleman wish to reserve his time or take the close -- mr. upton: we have the right to close, right? the chair: that is correct. the gentleman from michigan reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized for up to 2 1/2 minutes. mr. cuellar: thank you, madam speaker. again, my amendment is just about saying that h.r. should be the article 1 of the constitution, the question is, does congress have the right to regulate or do we let the bureaucrats decide? this is what my amendment does, it just says that we, the members of congress, should decide whether e.p.a. can or cannot regulate greenhouse gas. again, this is a question of authority and not -- should not be a question of science. with that, madam chair, i close the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from michigan. mr. upton: i urge my colleagues to vote no o

mr. blumenauer, where does the money come from? mr. blumenauer: let's follow up on this for a moment, if we could, you are talking about something that ought to concern each and every citizen. medicaid, in your state medi-call, we've had the oregon health plan, there are other states with variations on that, it provides health care, as you say, for our most vulnerable populations. the elderly, disabled, extremely poor people. and the young. it is very cost effective. there are complaints that the benefits under medicaid are actually very low and it's hard for physicians and hospitals, medical providers to deal with this. but by moving to a block grant that, as you say, is designed to go down over time, and unlike the current system, which is sort of countercyclical, where the federal government has given more money in times of distress, which it's done to your state and my state in the last two years, if we hadn't got the extra payments from the federal government to help with medicaid, i can't imagine what shape people would have been

mr. ryan's plan does reduce federal expenditures on medicare. it not only does that but provide greater certainty on paper. it is a great accomplishment. we reduce federal expenditures and shift to beneficiaries. the whole theory of the case reduced overall costs. we bring down overall costs. the first thing is reduction in medicare expenditures relative to the baseline from $8,600 to $1,000 in 2020 to. that part is clear. when we were shifting to beneficiaries no great shape. you had some benefit from increased consumer choice, you didn't get that much traction, more than offset by higher administrative costs or private insurance plans and less negotiating leverage than medicare with the result being that it was not that you just shifted cost on to beneficiaries with no reduction in overall costs. is much worse than that. you are shifting costs to beneficiaries and costs go up, not down, because those factors dominated any benefit from increased consumer directed behavioral change. to a shockingly large degree that grows over time. this plan wh

mr. ellison: i would like to ask the gentleman, how many jobs does this bill create? mr.oodall: by eliminating the crushing federal deficit that we have today, by taking the first steps we have seen in a generation -- mr. ellison: reclaiming my time, madam speaker. i do appreciate the gentleman's decision not to answer my question. because -- mr. woodall: i'd be happy to try again, mr. ellison: . mr. ellison: i do appreciate him not answering the question how many jobs this bill will create. it creates john. it destroys jobs. i think if the gentleman wanted to give us a number, even an estimate, just some sort of estimate as to how many jobs this bill is going to create, we certainly could have a good dialogue about how america goes forward. but unfortunately, madam speaker , the gentleman cannot answer that question because the republican majority has been exposed, they have a no jobs agenda, and this bill they propose to deem and pass today would cut upwards of a million jobs and as little as 700,000. this is a no-jobs agenda. at this time the gentleman from new york, m

and mr ouattara what does it do for what business is it of the west in my view not at all and yet the west in this case fronts but by means of the united nations has got into the habit of intervening systematically you know other peoples conflicts we know that france is not neutral in this political crisis because france has said repeatedly and explicitly. that it once long about go to step down so there is absolutely no shred of neutrality about france's position and yet these u.n. troops that we hear about are in fact of course french troops and they take orders from paris they don't take orders from the united nations they take them from paris and my concern about this intervention is that it fatally damages the authority of the united nations because nobody you know is ever going to believe that the united nations intervention in the future is neutral when we can see in the united nations intervention as in this case being used for explicitly political purposes with r.t. let's get to some other headlines from around the world this hour now and scores of immigrants are feared dead

mr. copp, and it does not improve the situation in any noticeable way for the adjacent property owner. this is ms. todd's home. this is the deck that must be cut back to meet this extension right here. so we're cutting back about this far into this existing balcony. the area below it, as you see, that we'd be eliminating our infill from is fully solid. so if we were to cut this back any further than this, we're not giving any substantial benefit in any sort of way that's going to mean something to the adjacent property owner. when you make a d.r. decision that find a way to form a compromise and to re-design a building that gives both neighbors a way to move forward, it improves the situation for both parties. that makes a lot of sense to everybody. but in a situation like this, where we're cutting into a balcony that he already has. and in going all the way back to the house, eliminate ago french door that he has accessing a deck, eliminating the possibility of a table being anywhere on this deck, it becomes just a walkway. so i would ask that you uphold the decision as it was previou

mr. moran: we can do better. let's do better. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois rise? >> madam speaker, to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. jackson: madam speaker, yesterday my republican colleagues introduced a continuing resolution that would increase the defense budget for the entire year while funding the rest of the government for just one week and drastically cutting just about every other vital program. that's no compromise. for months the republicans have said as we reduce spending everyone has to take a haircut, including the defense department. now the republicans propose increasing military spending. the republicans claim they want to fund the government for the rest of the year but this bill is for one week with drastic cuts to programs that serve our most vulnerable. madam speaker, if you say one thing and then you do another, that's not negotiating in good faith. that's not a real compromise. in fact, "the washington post" reported that the republican caucus this week, the possibility of the govern

mr. hammond to testify does anything to create jobs. and maybe this is the way the house of representatives will operate that this is how we do because fortunately with the work that has been done in the last two years, with the president, this congress was able to get the economy back on track. we just heard this morning that the economy was able to generate another quarter of a million new jobs in the last two months, 450,000 jobs created in the earth. but then again, when you recognize that in january of 2009, when new president barack obama was hemorrhaged 487,000 jobs in the pseudo-work right right in front of a. so in this committee, which is perhaps the most important committee in the house, the house, or stimulate the job. we find ourselves essentially engaged in a discrete, aggressive attack on an organization that represents and has for many decades perhaps the population in america which deserves the most respect, those who made it possible for us to be here. and so, i guess this is the business of the day and so we will cond

mr. buhari says and does next. >> the bbc says there is a long record of political competition between thend south of the country. >> absolutely. i mean, nigeria has had a history of conflict and it's taken political dimensions and has religious perspectives as well but i don't think you'll find a nigerian who was expecting the day to end thrike and comes after the election that most of the international community has said was the freest and fairest in nigeria's history and the results were strikeling in slowly after the election on saturday and it was clear goodluck jonathan was going to win. early on monday we saw developments in the north that i think have pretty much troubled all nigerians, thousands of youth in kano and other states, the big states in the north were, you know, just shaken by riots, young people on the streets initially just burning tires and we're hearing reports they are attacking homes that had posters of goodluck jonathan on them. there have been fatalities. we can't confirm how many but the red cross is reporting at least 15,000 people have been displaced as a res
