if you can win new hampshire, you back in the game. mitt romney, judy giuliani, fred thompson all had a moment where they might have taken control and they couldn't do. you get and it's john mccain's moment, and he sealed a couple of weeks later, where he lost to george w. bush in one of the most bitter complains that anybody has recovered. john mccain is back. but he's back in a way he's not fully prepared for the general election. they have to take what had become a very small organization and over night, build it into something that is far more significant. and they had great difficulty doing that. and the fall complain was marked by two big moments, one was obviously the selection of sarah palin has his vice president. this was an event that shocked everybody. joe biden is on the airplane, they are leaveing denver after the democratic convention. one the staff coming up and says to barack obama and joe biden, well, he's picked sarah palin. and joe biden says who is sarah palin? and barack obama says, i wonder why he did that.

if you can win new hampshire, you are back in again. john mccain was blessed by the opposition that was running against him. made ronnie, rudy giuliani, mike huckabee, fred thompson, all had a moment when they might have taken control of the republican race and they couldn't do it. so you get to the new hampshire primary, and it's a john mccain's moment of resurrection. and he seals his victory essentially a couple of weeks later in south carolina. the place ironically where he had lost to george w. bush in 2000 in one of the most bitter campaign that any of us had ever covered. so john mccain is suddenly back. but he's back in a way that he is not fully prepared for the general election. they have to take what had become a very small organization, and overnight build it into something that is far more significant. and they had great difficulty doing that. and the fall campaign, was marked by two big moments. one was obviously the selection of sarah palin as his vice president. this was an event that shocked everybody. joe biden was on

i yield back to my good friend from new hampshire. mr. gregg: the only way that can be avoided -- the only way that this bill and the bill that was just passed today -- signed today by the president -- can be kept from taking medicare funds to fund new initiatives that much nothing to do with medicare, such as the expansion of medicaid, is to pass this amendment. this is it. you know, if you don't vote for this amendment, then you're voting to raid medicare for the purposes of using that money for some other purpose, which has nothing at all to do with medicare. and you're funding this bill on the seniors -- on the backs of seniors basically. how much time do we have remaining? the presiding officer: the senator has one minute remaining. mr. gregg: i know the senator from tennessee wanted to conclude. mr. alexander: well, i would only conclude by congratulating the senator from new hampshire for a very straightforward amendment. as i understand it, it says, if you're going to take any money out of medicare, it has to be spent on medicare.

the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from new hampshire. ms. shea-porter: i request five legislative days during which members may revise and extend and insert extraneous material on house resolution 1089 into the record. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. ms. shea-porter: i yield to the the gentleman from illinois such time as he may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. >> i thank my colleague from new hampshire to speak. i rise in strong support of house resolution 1089 recognizing the 150th anniversary of augustana college. this year marks the 150 year and i proudly introduce this resolution to highlight the long tradition of academic excellence and distinction. founded in 1860, augustana college in illinois has grown from a small school educating swedish immigrants. today, with over 75 fields of discipline, augustana properly known as augie provides a rich environment for the diverse student body. augustana, students either learn and -- learn to enter to serve. throughout its 150 years, augusta

there will be 10 minutes of debate equally divided between the senator from new hampshire, mr. gregg, and the senator from new york, mr. schumer or their designees. who yields time? mr. schumer: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new york is recognized. mr. schumer: i rise in support of the legislation before us and against the motion to waive the point of order. mr. president, this is a good day for american workers. for congress is focusing on what they've asked us to focus on. congress is focusing on what the american people wantes to focu s on, which is jobs, jobs, jobs. and congress will act in a bipartisan way. so this is a break in several ways from the past. one, we're focusing on jobs and the economy. that's what we should be doing. and, second, we're doing it in a bipartisan way. the bill before us focuses on private-sector jobs. it has four pieces. each is leaned, each is directed at private-sector jobs, each will give the economy a certain lift. you know, mr. president, last quarter we had growth of 5.9%. that sound great. but that 5.9% growth res

i would ask the senator from new hampshire. mr. gregg: the senator is absolutely correct. that does call into question the representation that this bill isn't a tax increase, that we need 16,000 new i.r.s. agents to enforce it. mr. mccain: at $10 billion to administer. that's probably believable given what's in 2,733 pages. mr. gregg: you're going to need one i.r.s. person for everybody in america who doesn't have insurance, i guess, or however the ratio works out. everybody's got to buy insurance under this bill. your local i.r.s. agent is going to show up at your door to tell you you better do it or else you're going to have to answer to the i.r.s. we know there are no new taxes in this bill because that's been represented to us a number of times. mr. burr: if i could add, it also gives some insight as to how many people will choose not to have insurance and make themselves susceptible to the fine. the anticipation is that the i.r.s. is going to chase a lot of people to recover the fine. mr. mccain: i finally add that perhaps we could get some indication -- we should, i t

coburn: well, i thank the senator from new hampshire. the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma is recognized. mr. coburn: thank you, mr. president. as i contemplate what's happening at 62 years of age and looking back through my life, this is undoubtedly the greatest assault on liberty this country has ever had. and it's not direct, it's indirect, but it's what the senator from new hampshire talked about. it's, we're going to decide for you what you get. what the american people still don't understand in this bill is there's three areas in this bill that in the next five years will put the government in charge of everybody's health care: what you can have, what you can't have and who can give it to you. that's what's coming in this bill. so if you're a caregiver out there or you're a patient, you might think long and hard about the three provisions in this bill that are going to do that: the medicare advisory commissi commission, the cost-effectiveness, comparative effectiveness panel, and the u.s. preventive task force panel. al

so, but there is also the part that really is hard for us to amend as i'm sure the senator from new hampshire knows. for example, the pharma -- the phrma deal. there was a story in "the new york times," -- i quote from the "new york times" story -- "drug industry lobbyists reacted with alarm this week to a health care overhaul measure that would allow the government to negotiate drug prices and demand additional rebates from drug manufacturers. in response, the industry successfully demanded that the white house explicitly acknowledge for the first time that it had committed to protect drug makers from bearing further costs and the obama administration had never spelled out the details of the agreement. we were assured, we need somebody to come in first. if you come in first, you will have a rock-solid deal. billy tauzin -- "by the way i understand salary of over over $2 million a year -- former republican house member from louisiana who now leads the group said wednesday who is ever going to go into a deal with the white house again if they don't keep their word? they are just going to duke

host: next phone call from new hampshire. can -- kenneth.: my question, children over 18 years old are allowed to stay on their parents' health care. i wonder about the circumstances of that. if the child has already left that health care policy, are they able to return? if they are 19 and they have been off for one year, are they able to be reinstated? guest: as i understand it, that is part of what this law is aiming to correct. my understanding -- i would urge you to permidouble check -- butf that child could stay on, they would be able to stay on until the age of 26. host: next phone call. caller: i want to be respectful, and did not take it personal, but i do not believe a word that you are saying, especially coming from a democrat from aei. host: we got your point. can you give one specific that would support what you are saying? caller: if my wife had brought in money for 10 years, we would still be married. we are going to pay for things for four years before we see benefits? host: when it comes to this legislation, does it pay for i

the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. mr.consent that the republican time be extended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. gregg: i rise to discuss one of the issues which is going to have a huge impact on how this health care issue is resolved or not resolved, and that is the question of what reconciliation is and what it implies relative to the legislative process. reconciliation is an arcane term. it's a term that is tied and created by -- tied to and created by the budget act, which we function under here in the congress. it's ironic that it would become the central effort, the use of reconciliation would become the central effort in buying votes in the house of representatives in order to pass the big, the giant health care bill, known as the senate health care bill, which bill, as we all know, expands the size of government by $2.3 trillion. and in fact, we understand now there's a new score from c.b.o. which is going to raise that number even further when it's accurately reflected. and takes the government an

in new hampshire, also 15 points. in new york state, girls were 13 points ahead of boys. at the ronald mcnair high school in jersey city, new jersey, english teacher don dello says he sees the difference. >> in an english classroom, there's always been a tendency for the girls to be more interested in the literature than the boys. >> they just have a lot more focus and i think they tend to spend a lot more time devoted to reading. i mean, guys are more into sports and being outside. >> reporter: even in math, a subject in which boys traditionally did better than girls, girls are now roughly even with boys nationwide. why e difference between the sexes? in reading, one theory points to differences between the brains of boys and girls. girls' brains are more verbally oriented, which makes reading skills easier for them to acquire. boys' brains are more visually stimulated. another theory is that boys are more physically restless than girls. recess time has been cut in some schools in the push for better achievement test scores. >> they can read, but they need to be moving a

the senator from new hampshire. the senate's not in order. mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. mr. gregg: this amendment addresses what is a core problem that we have with our health care system which is the fact that every year we cut our doctors' pay, those doctors who deliver medicare services. this year they'll be cut 21%. this amendment restores that pay so that those cuts don't occur for a period of three years. this is known as the doctors' fix. it should have been in the bill to begin with. the reason it wasn't in the bill was because the other side wanted -- could not put it in the bill because of its cost and they did not want to be in a situation where they were throwing their budget -- the presiding officer: will the senator suspend. the senate is not in order. mr. gregg: the reason it was not in the bill is because the score is $250 billion over, $280 billion over ten years. the other side didn't want to absorb that score because it would have thrown the entire bill out of whack relative to the b

the former governor of new hampshire. was a liberal and a republican and a very strong supporter of roosevelt and the new deal and had been ever since he was governor of new hampshire. in fact mark roosevelt made him the first head of social security. he sacrificed his own political career because of that. the republicans tried to kill social security as soon as it was passed in 1935. thirty-six presidential campaign, the presidential nominee for the republican mounted a smear campaign against social security. and winant resigned his job. he campaigned around the country for security and announced he would be supporting roosevelt . political career was over. the republicans would have nothing to do with them. from that moment on he was roosevelt's man. but the two of them had a longstanding relationship this. he was exactly the kind of person that roosevelt thought would appeal to the less of britain which turned out to be true. at the same time he also became very close to churchill. you know, he had a foot in both camps

looking at to new hampshire. it is generally where it nominates a more centrist candidate but the iowa caucus you can control that actually it is a great state it is where independents outnumber democrats or republicans but because of the caucus system that political balance is not reflected in the way is alexei president. but it is analogous to overall win because the independent can go to new hampshire primary the candidates don't play as far to the right or to the base because i have to win of the poachers and the center. and they hate to that but the problem is the party has got to the way of what is good for the country. the constitution does not mention parties they are middlemen and i argue they've outlived their usefulness. >> host: talking about the idea of redistricting and changing the formula we have had gaston are program whose say just a gridlock in congress and is a reflection of that as well. if you were to rewrite the rules across the country could be potentially not all the damp down the wing nu
