family and social connections became business sessions as iowa yang and kansas san, da coa tan and nebraska can laborers sent loads of the meth back home. or, like jeffrey william hayes in oelwein and lori in ottumwa, either drove out to get some themselves or sent someone instead. meth has been, perhaps, the only example of a widely-consumed narcotic that might be called vocational as opposed to recreational. the market for meth in america is nearly as old as industrialization. poor and working-class americans had been consuming the drug since the 1930s whether it was marketed as men si green, meth green or o bead run for the simple reason that meth makes you feel good and permit you to work hard. thanks to the brothers and lori arnold, these same people no longer needed to rely on expensive prescriptions and were able to get a stronger form of meth at a much better price. this at a time when the drug's effects were arguably more useful than ever. so, too, did meth become more widely available at exactly the moment that rural economies collapsed and people left. under those circumstances,

senator from nebraska, and i've sensed it my work over the summer with the chairman of the budget committeenow that they share these concerns on the other side, and that's why i believe passionately that we must defeat the motion to proceed on this bill. i'm still an optimist and i still hope that we can start over and get to work on a bipartisan bill that has the trust and support of the american people. any major piece of legislation that has gone through this body has done so in a bipartisan way. it's been necessary to get the confidence of the american people, the confidence of the american people. they don't have confidence in congress right now, and this bill is not helping it. you know, we say that we're spending our children and our grandchildren's money? actually, we're doing that plus spending our seniors' money. when you take medicare money, that's what you're doing. the seniors have figured it out. that's why it was so raucous in august and ever since. they have been concerned about their future and the promises that were made to them. we have a system that's going broke and the

a statement from the nebraska senator said he would put out a vote to proceed.that does not mean that he supports the legislation in its current form. he will put it out there on the form and begin to make changes. there are some things he does not like. >host: something in the legislation that refers to the state of one person. guest: it would increase some financing of medicaid for louisiana -- four states that have suffered a disaster. that provision in the bill -- some associate that with new orleans. some say that will be known as louisiana purchase. host: it is meant to get a yes vote from her. guest: yes. there are concerns about the costs. a big component of this legislation is increasing the number of those injured. because they contribute to the cause, many have said you will have a lot of extra cost, this bill would have the federal government pick up the tab for the first three years. that may sweeten the deal for a lot of states. >> are there a lot of concerns about reelection next year? guest: in a statement, john mccain won by 20 points. all along

over the last several months since this has been debated and a handful of senators, ben nelson from nebraska and joe lieberman from connecticut and a few others have issues with this and there needs to be changes before that bill is going to be able to go forward. >> are any compromise on -- compromises on those issues emerging? >> yeah, i think that there's a few ways that this could go. you know, on one end is taking out the public plan entirely and that doesn't seem likely because liberal senators would have an issue with that and you might have the same problem on the left that they have in the center right now and a more likely idea is finding a way to scale back what's already in the bill and right now we have an opt out provision where states can choose to not be part of the public plan if they want to. and we might go to a trigger proposal, which some senators have been pushing for to allow states to have the public plan if the a set of economic indicas triggered it. and that's one way. and the other idea is an opt in public plan instead of opt out, allowing states to choose to parti

i worked closely with senator ben nelson from nebraska on a bill that would allow small businesses toombine their purchasing power across state lines even nationwide and collaboratively buy health insurance at discounted rates. i worked closely with the late senator ted kennedy on a bill to reform the drug approval process at the food and drug administration. i also worked closely with then-senator clinton on a bill to save lives and decrease costs by promoting greater use of electronic medical records. time after time i've advocated that we set partisan differences aside and work on the 80% of the issue that will really make a difference for most people. unfortunately, rather than working with republicans to develop a commonsense solution, the majority drafted a flawed bill that spends too much, does too little to cut health care costs and puts seniors' benefits on the chopping block. the white house and democratic leader should have responded to these concerns with alternative ideas that actually address the health care issues that most americans care about: their cost. unfortunatel
