there is no surprise that there was pent-up demand. no surprise that we needed to have reform. the fact is a year ago i gave a speech in which i laid out much of what needed to be done in the region. secretary of state clinton, only three weeks ago, made a very dramatic, tough statement in which she said, unless there is reform, unless arab leaders move to deal with the problems this is an area that's sinking into the sand. it was a very dramatic statement. what happened in tunisia is what triggered this. what happened on facebook and twitter is what drove it. frankly, the muslim brotherhood was taken by surprise. everybody in egypt suddenly saw this moment erupt as a consequence of this pent-up demand over what happened in tunisia. so the fact of the need for reform, the pent-up demand, the anguish, humiliation, anger, frustration, those are things we knew were there and we knew could explode. but the moment and manner in which it exploded is a reflection of what's happened with respect to the new media and what happened in tunisia and i don't think anybody in egypt even knew

theatre helps them cope with hardships and realize their creative potential moreover it helps them vent pent up emotions which is sometimes more important than anything else to a prisoner. it is very easy to give expression to your inner emotions when you are not what you are anyone playing a role is wearing them they feel they're expressing the emotions of their characters rather than their own therefore they can always pretend that the emotions they show on stage those characters. who broke. the present. you've got as a. present. emotions apart these men are now concerned with something more important they have won a trip to moscow to attend a theater festival. they will be a school to the way to moscow these inmates get to leave the barbed wire behind if only for a few hours. ok he enters the barrack stinks like hell and it's packed with all sorts of people some four hundred all in all do you know what i'm trying to say actors from the men's prison colony in the us now planning something so ambitious that even experienced producers might be reluctant to try these men want to give their au

as workers unleashed frustration, pent up for years. the manager only appoints members of his family, a man screamed. pay isn't enough, and it's delayed, they complained. they say they're going on strike not only for democracy, but for basic workers' rights. pressure is also mounting on egypt's vice president, omar suleiman, the former intelligence chief and a close ally of the united states. almost daily he gets calls from vice president biden, asking for, quote, immediate, irreversible progress that responds to the aspirations of the egyptian people. the united states wants egypt to stop arresting journalists and activists, immediately lift martial law and widen negotiations to include more of the opposition. but pressure is also coming from israel, jordan, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates for egypt to go slow, fearing a wave of instability across the middle east that could benefit extremists. and then there's the protesters themselves, still defiant past the point of no return. many believe if they stop and the government st

inside there was no violence but plenty of pent-up rage. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> reporter: and if that sounds like a primal scream, it is. this is the first time in 30 years that these people have been able to tell their president what they really think of him. president mubarak swore in his new cabinet today and ordered his new vice president to start talking to the opposition. but each step he takes to try to placate these people just seems to further infuriate them. the public face of the opposition is this man, mohamed elbararadei, who was mobbed by the crowd last night. he is the former chief of the iaea, the u.n. nuclear agency and a nobel peace prize winner. >> first accept he has to go. the second step, we have to have a government of national salvation then prepare for election and move on to democracy. >> reporter: the people here also have more practical concerns. banks have been closed for days which means the atms have run out of cash and there are long lines for necessities like gas and groceries but despite the hardship the crowd here insists that there is no

on the other hand, if you're the holder of that pat pent and you -- patent and you believe you have a legitimate claim and you see somebody else utilizing it in their product, you want to make sure the legal system works to protect you and reward you for somebody else infringing upon what is your property right. if you're in the pharmaceutical industry, you probably have a drug that only has a few patents attached to it. and so the current system works better for you to defend yourself than if you're developing something at, you know, cisco or intel or major technology company and you're incorporating hundreds of ideas. and then, of course, the underlying genius, that individual whether they work for a large company or whether they're an independent inventer, that's what we want to ultimately reward and make sure that they have the incentive to go on inventing, but also then the incentive to get that invention to the market that people will take a risk on them and invest in their patent idea and build a business around it and create jobs. if we can devise a system that improves our cu

>> nothing really caused it, except that the pent-up demand for people among big companies, especially, and small, that sort of just kind of came to a head. we definitely had weather issues in january. it's not an excuse. but definitely something of an influence. and i think that the fact that the market was very calm yesterday, in other words it didn't panic at this disappointing number, showed that people were saying well, you know, there's a lot of noise in this number, let's not really take too much into it. >> speaking of that noise, for the month of february, when we look at next month's jobs picture, do you think unemployment is going to go up or down from 9%? >> well, the 9% number was i bit of an anomaly. it kind of resulted from the fact that a lot of people said they didn't look for work in the past week or two weeks. that's something that brings the unemployment rate down but doesn't really improve the employment picture. you could see a bump back up, i don't think a dramatic one. but i do think there were weather issues there that people just didn't go look for work becaus

now there was pent-up demand and people were buying equipment and buying -- kind of a surge, so that 8.75 moderated down to 4.25 and 3.75, which is all we need to fix the situation. it is not that complex. the picture is not that complex. people try to make it so here in washington because they love to spend your money. but the truth is, the consequences are now on us. we are facing catastrophic economic failures and inflation if we do not begin to pay attention to the fundamentals that are in play in front of us. so as we approach this week, the idea that we can only cut $100 billion is one we should all question, we know there are greater inefficiencies. i'm going to propose a series of amendments that would cut even more, cut functions that i think could be delayed. we're going to suggest that the government maybe shouldn't be building a lot of projects, a lot of buildings right now. surely we could take a moratorium on that for a year or two. in the interest of future generations, don't we think that's a sacrifice we should make. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has

some of it was just pent-up spending from democrats being out of our. if they had spent the money on the infrastructure -- 6% was on transportation, which is unacceptable. it would have gotten people back to work right away. we are investing this year, now that we have a surplus and we are forecasting $500 million in new money revenue growth because of the economy growing faster than anticipated, long term that is a critical part of growing your economy. improving higher education opportunities. putting money into transportation. i have asked for another $54 million from the general assembly this year on everything from tax credits to direct subsidies and other incentives to get businesses to come to virginia. >> when you talk about investing in infrastructure and education, and so forth, what, it is different because it is that the state level as opposed to the federal level? >> i do think that some of the things that the president has begun to talk about after years of things that have not been helpful to the free enterprise system, investments in inf

i look forward to the testimony of our compel pent -- excellent panel. >> thank you very much, senator sessions. we'll turn to the panel. we'll start with gene stehrle. welcome back to the panel and proceed. >> thank you, mr. chairman and members of the committee. many tax and budget reforms know no ideological or party boundaries. no one favors unequal justice inefficiency and complexity we see in our tax code today. neither does anyone favor the way tomorrow's scheduled deficits threaten our economy and our children. you have asked that i concentrate my remarks on what makes reform most likely. reform often starts from a common consensus that a variety of fixes would be better than what we have. bipartisan agreement led to past successful tax reforms such as in 1986, 1969, and 1954. such bipartisan consensus also informed close to 2/3 of the members of president obama's own debt commission. such agreement i would suggest with admitted bias is displayed by the panel before you. three of us are from the tax policy center. former deputy assistant secretaries and heads of cbo and senior

the budget requests pented today includes a base budget request of $535 billion and an overseas contingencynd reign in personnel and contractor costs. all for the purpose of preserving the global reach and fighting strength of the america's military in a time of fiscal stress for our country. in all these budget requests will continue to reform our efforts to fund modernization programs needed to prepare for future conflicts, reaffirm and strengthen the nation's concern for an all volunteer force and ensure they have the resources and support they need to accomplish their mission. my submitted statement has more details of the request. now, i want to take this opportunity to address several issues that are subject of debate and concern since i announced the budget proposal last month. first, the serious damage our military will suffer by operating under a continuing resolution where we're receiving significant funding cuts during fiscal year 2011. second, the projected slowing and slowing over the five years, third, the reducing of the size of the ground force, and fourth, savings to the pr

that bill was loaded up with pent-up democratic agenda items and was sold with the promise that it would keep unemployment blow 8% -- below 8%. we know by the president's own standard the stimulus bill has failed miserably. unemployment has been at or above 9% for the past 21 months. that stimulus debt was not inherited by president obama. it was created by president obama. and he is bequeathing it to all of our children and grandchildren. the numbers don't lie. when democrats took over washington, it was like setting homer simpson loose at an all you can eat buff faye. for -- buffet. for too long interest groups to create new programs and grow the size of government had gone unfulfilled. when they sieged the reign of power, liberal democrats went hog wild. our nation's deficit has gone from $150 billion in 2007 when democrats took over congress -- remember, they had two years before president obama even got elected. the democrats were in control of congress. it went from $161 billion in 2007 to $1.65 trillion in 2011. now, with respect to the debt, when congressional democrats took over
