nurses and allow nurses to continue to grow in their profession, to be able to be an ally to the physicians where now the physicians can delegate to the nurses in that regard. so technology, continuing to encourage people go into into the profession and a change in the way we deliver health care as a whole. we are fully aware, and we will have a primary care shortage as time progresses unless we do something in those areas. >> thank you. i have a question on parts d of medicare. the drug. it's my understanding that the government is not allowed to negotiate drug prices. is that correct? >> that is correct. >> okay. say that i have two drugs that i take, one is on form -- tumor ularry drug the other is on anthem. so i have two drugs and only one is allowable by one healthcare provider and the other. could you address that? >> let me try to address it at different levels. relative to negotiating by the federal government, it's the negotiation of the federal government to the pharmaceutical companies, so today there is actually a restriction of the federal government can't use the purchasing p

and they need to get to the downtown area to go to work in most cases. some of them will go to noe valley or the mission if they get call. so, it's a concern if you allow the left turn going north on sixth street at harrison and then you've also allow for the parking on the east side of 5th street, you are creating much more gridlock. * calls almost to the point where you're going to get huge levels of service by up to e or f, and i am very concerned what you're going to do and how it's going to affect cab service because of the fact it's going to cause more gridlock on that street. please, you all,i invite you all to drive that all in an afternoon, particularly let's say on a thursday or friday, how to get into the city. and you know the cabs -- again, where the cabs are situated when there's a change of shift. so, if you want to harm service in the downtown area or in north beach or in nob hill, then go ahead and make traffic on sixth street going northbound worse. and this is what does it. thank you. >> thank you. >> mr. chairman, before you proceed,

their ability to be able to demonstrate to the world that they have the capacity to be able to build and have the missile technology to be able to use it in ways of their choosing down the road. and this, as i said earlier, would be very destabilizing, i think, to not only the region, but to the international security environment. who's helping them in my assessment of their ability to be able to launch this missile? i think that they have progressively gained better technology over time, and they have progressively gained that through a number of methods over a number of years and decades. to the degree that they will be more successful than they were last time in such a short period of time and how that -- what they've done to correct it, i can't tell you how they assess that. we'll just have to -- should they choose to go ahead with it, we'll just have to see how it goes. >> -- moving into the region to monitor this? >> well, i won't go into the specifics of how we or our allies position ourselves to insure that we understand what's happening, but we do watch this very carefully,

wanted to come to that.but it will has been in place since 1975. that leads us to a conclusion. if there are problems with a filibuster, and only figure out, it's not because of the rules. the fact is that from 1975 and 2007, while there were brief. the problems and flareups of frustrations, it has rarely been a party acting together. sometimes it is a member of your own party. the democrats had that frustration with people on on both sides. with james allen of alabama and with jesse helms and there's been a number of others. sometimes it has been factional. but it hasn't been a party-based process. there were periods when there were great frustration. but mostly, the senate went along and work because it is a the body of individuals in a body where the party leaders have tried to work things out to isolate those individuals. because the senate is also a place which basically operates and has to under a broader set of rules of the filibuster. by consensus. almost everything requires unanimous consent. but th

that i have to be willing to say, ok, if they want to do this, they'll have to give on something theylike, maybe even higher taxes. and that's where the moment was there. they almost got this president to move on social security. almost got him to move on medicare reform. and they didn't take the deal. >> the reality at the end of the day, they are going to walk away with this without any spending restraint. we'll get a deal that will do nothing on deficits. and it's their own fault. >> i agree with that. >> let me bring up the gun issue. the president said he'll put his full weight behind his first year gun control legislation. but the question stands, does he have the stomach for how difficult this will be politically? i'm not sure. >> i'm not either. you know, there's a great line in "tom sawyer" where he says an evangelist that came through town that was so good that even huk finn stayed saved until tuesday. the gun control thing is so tough. it is one of these cultural political issues where you have a ferociously well organized opposition, and a more diffuse common sense broader

he wanted to help elect vice president to the presidency and he wanted to try to elect his wife to the senate. on top >> on top of that, if the impeachment proceedings. he was active on the campaign trail. it could have changed the whole complexion of proceedings on capitol hill. it was remarkable extent to which president clinton dedicated himself to the second term. he did not have to. i imagine president obama will as well. politics is often seen as dirty work. in the last chapter, the clinton says and does not think politics is a dirty word. he thinks the line between policy and politics is blurred and is supposed to be. we work on politics to get the policy right to improve lives. that is what he was doing. i would bet that is what barack obama will do as well. host: william is on the line for democrats. caller: it is becoming obvious even to a person that does not understand politics that the republicans are obstructing every move by the president. the issue is not about competing. he wants to make things happen in this country. they are just talking about parties and not the ame

to address to them. i remain optimistic, though, because if you look at what the speaker has proposed, he's conceded that income tax rates should go up -- except right now he only wants to have them go up for millionaires. if you're making $900,000, somehow he thinks that you can't afford to pay a little more in taxes. but the principle that rates are going to need to go up he's conceded. i've said i'm willing to make some cuts. what separates us is probably a few hundred billion dollars. the idea that we would put our economy at risk because you can't bridge that gap doesn't make a lot of sense. so i'm going to continue to talk to the speaker and the other leaders up in congress. but, ultimately, they've got to do their job. right now their job is to make sure that middle-class taxes do not go up and that we have a balanced, responsible package of deficit reduction. it is there for all to see. it is a deal that can get done. but it is not going to be -- it cannot be done if every side wants 100 percent.

you started to do or plan to do rotation to northern australia? >> well, we are having, you saw the outcome of the ombudsman and what was there. we have a wonderful relationship and alliance with our australian counterpart, particularly in the middle to middle area, and the two countries were continue to look at opportunities where we might partner or better to be able to provide, you know, provide a better security structure in that part of the world, which has growing importance i think to the global security and private and the global economic environment. >> i am with chinese agency in hong kong. you mentioned more or less you like to see much or military military relationship with chi china. and secretary panetta has invited china to join the greenback exercise in 2014. how do they respond to that? and have you any, have any -- [inaudible] chinese counterpart? regarding the military to military exchange program in 2013? and how -- [inaudible] first of all, let me say that i think that the middle to middle relationships in the last couple of y

i would like to leave it to you to sum up in one minute. >>thank you for hosting me at som -- such an important time for the syrian people. i hope all of us here can play a role. we hope that the obama administration will put syria as a priority in its foreign policiy. we see the clinton administration in the 1990's, put an end for that. looking to the obama administration, what can the next secretary of state do to help the syrian people and such a critical time. >> thank you everybody for being here. i hope to see you next friday for our conference on jordan. thank you. [applause] >> tonight we will look at the white house and congress and how they are addressing the fiscal cliff. first president obama speaks in pennsylvania followed by house speaker john banner responding from capitol hill. then eric cantor response to the white house deficit reduction package. later, nancy pelosi addresses the fiscal cliff and middle- class tax cuts. tomorrow on ", washington "" robert -- "washington journal," robert van order on the mortgage loan forgi

go back to iran to buy himself a nice apartment. go back to iran to buy himself a nice apartment.ese are the things happening on a daily basis that are raging iranian of all walks of life. you are relying out of negligence of our overwhelming due diligence to immigration policy approved in senate who cossette. if you change just that, it's powerful signal inside the country. in the early days of the obama administration. i want to put the same question as emanuele formulated it to you, which is how does one integrate or practice so an aggressive policy on human rights with a policy that's very centered on non-proliferation. is it possible to do that? tears away and use the word expedient. do you agree with that? by having set the stage the administration took a fair amount of criticism after the green revolution for not speaking up strongly enough, early enough. it is also worth noting about a year ago the u.s. announced a set of sanctions on either gc and other officials on the human rights abuses, which was somewhat different. the sanctions were a little different than the typic

we all hurry to get to where? to another bottleneck and to wait. resolving the fiscal cliff is an opportunity to show that we can work together in a bipartisan manner, but to do so we must listen and put the people first and the party second. if we don't, a middle class family of four will see their taxes rise by $2,200 in 2013. unemployment will go up to 9.1%. remember the cost of extending all of the bush tax cuts is $2.4 trillion to us in 10 years. extend the middle class tax cuts and let the bush tax cuts for the upper 2% return to the clinton rates. we cannot sacrifice the middle class, the steady job growth that we have seen, just to protect the upper 2%. this is not the message we want to send. this is not the message republicans want to send. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from connecticut rise? without objection. mr. himes: i joined my colleagues in the connecticut delegation in newtown last night. we will never forget that vigil. desponde

services it steams to me to make sense to take your advice so we are able to secure services [speaker not understood] during the time we are actually analyzing the policy to whether or not to do something in-house. i think if we were to try to do that immediately in this coming budget year, i think that would be too fast, in addition to kind of figuring out what the structure would look like. we would have to do the hiring. i think that's just not something that we could do in time anyhow. that would be my preference. and for you to come back to us at a later time to report back on how it is we might proceed forward, thinking through the prowl is choices of bringing it in. so, whether that might mean direction from the board and the future to go with other jurisdictions ask what they do, what that looks like, we would look to you for some guidance on that. >> happy to do that. >> that would be my preference as well, that we would rfp and have a contract in place in the next fiscal year for at least certain duration of time. i've always had the discussion about an in-house budget and l

wanting to bring them to justice. have you identified the terrorists? >> we're committed to brain does as possible test. we are pursuing is to remember of half, the express and a host of this. the fbi is leading the is the area. have been in the vehicle to a room and -- i was in tunis a to emphasize the importance we attach to cooperation since the are detaining one of the suspects. i believe we are making progress there. the answer is, we do not have all of the answers yet but we are working this relentlessly and i think we are making progress. >> with regard to the implementation of the recommendations of the report. earlier today i heard the bureaucratic burbidge of work up to the 64 and 74, that does not mean anything to the senators who see a terrible situation and a failed security effort. or as the center and henty and this did not happen again? of us would have to learn from this and how -- we will have to hold ourselves accountable. secretary clinton has been clear to us. we are accountable to reckon -- we wi

we don't want to raise to this bottom. we want to race to the top. this sets us on a dangerous course of a race to the bottom that will be detrimental and threatens the middle class of the country. >> "the wall street journal" ran this editorial. the headline is "worker liberation in michigan." and the last sentence reads, "right to work breaks this cycle of government-aided monopoly union power from the larger economic good." is it hard to fight this kind of rhetoric? >> it's certainly tough. particularly when it's not accurate. what this does on a practical basis when you benefit by safe working conditions and higher wages and having your pension protected, you're no longer going to have to contribute to collective bargaining and the process that gives you the benefits. that's not fair. that's not the american way. it's a power grab unfortunately in the purest, most partisan sense and it's very disappointing to see my state in this situation. >> senator, they're going after democratic infrastructure. would you agree with that? this is how they want

to to visit, to shop, to spend money, to eat, and to be entertained. he wanted me to personally mention that he enjoys all of the activities associated particularly with food and music. lots more food and music, because those are the things that he likes to see in the city and that he sends his friends out to when they visit him as well. thank you all for the work that you are doing. i am confident that we are engaged in the right type of work by having the meeting that you are having here today. i know the mayor wants to follow this closely, and we are following this closely to make sure that if there is more that we can be doing as a city, then we can get it-and we are out -- we can get it done because we are working together. thank you very much and we look forward to working with you as a city and i will look for you at the events. thank you.

i regret i have to go to a meeting to get all my freshman on to committees, i am looking forward to a lively exchange from california which i know is lively and would love to hear from secretary ray lahood but i will have to step out. easily followed by others who take the place. >> thank you, a he is a great partner, i appreciate all of his work. i want to thank you, we took the united states through 9/11, very difficult times together. >> don't mention gsa please. i always refer to that as my bastard child and you helped in the conception. >> don't even want to go there. >> i think we are going to have of lively one because it has mr. denham from california. you are recognized. >> thank you, i will take the opportunity to make a quick statement. always look forward to talking about high speed rail in california because there's always something new to talk about. this is something i supported when i was in state senate, a $33 million project going to the ballot initiative to borrow $9.5 million. when we had a decent credit rating. since then our credit rating has been downgraded. the

i had to go to congress and ask them to draft a bill and get legislation to allow us to raise premiums to protect our risk. that is the proposition for success over the long term. that is where the debate should be. how do we make this realization most effective, with best deals, best credit risk, so they can support the system and a little less about let's continue to pull the support out from under them? >> can you do that, because if you can, then the things you talked about are true. but if there are limits to what legislation does or does not do, and doesn't that raise questions over all these other things? a lot of the loss mitigation of the administration has been trying to encourage the private sector what they are limited to do on their own book. if you are making low downpayment loans and think principal reduction is the right way to deal with underwater borrowers, that is where i am going, is that achievable what you are talking about? >> i say with great respect to my friends on capitol hill, any group with 535 people do not write underwriting standards well or manage the t

we are not going to be able to set all of the spending cuts that we are going to have to do going forward right here in the next 36 hours. we can't do it. that has to be done on a basis of determining after many hearings and determinations what our priorities are and what the ceiling on spending should be. we must set a ceiling. is it 18 or 20% of gross domestic product? is it some amount that goes down each year? that is the question that has to be decided after a lot of discussion next year. what we can do is avoid a fiscal calamity by not having the sequestration take place on january 1 at midnight, but make that a very short term. it can't be two years of a moratorium on sequestration because then we would not get to where we need to be in determining the priorities that will lower the rate of spending in this country. our problem in this country is a spending problem. with a $16 trillion debt, more spending is not going to be the answer. so let's look at a very short term avoidance of sequestration because we don't want to disrupt our military when they have boots on the ground in ha

guest: i don't really have a role to play in that other than to say that the way you need to be raising money needs to be as understandable and transparent as possible for the taxpayers said they know what is going on with their money. what of it -- one of our recommendations is that when people file their taxes that the government sent back to them and itemized receipt that shows them here is what you paid and here is where your tax breaks camp from. -- came from. then here is where your dollars are going in the federal budget. in the instructions for the form 1040, they have a pie chart that shows this goes to defense, this goes to social spending, paying interest, but i really think it could be much more detailed. i think that kind of education, letting taxpayers know where their money is going, will make a more informed citizenry and update the debate on where you want your money to go as the tax paying public. that is something that i am strongly advocating. i think that will go far. that is the first step to saying, wait a minute, i do not want this amount of my money going or i a

but continue to try to do if they can to draw attention to their efforts.but overall, they are losing. they have not been able to gain any territory they've lost and we continue to put pressure on them to the afghans in u.s. presence there. that has been in my book the significant turning point in 2011 after the first time we saw the transition work in the afghan army able to do its job and violence going down and that continues to be the trend. >> is a former head of the cia, please explain what general patrice is forced to resign rather than a lesser punishment.

in the senate to try to nail this down? >> of course he is. we'll do that when it makes sense. at this point, though, you got to recognize that they're in a very difficult place. and they recognize they'll have to move in a bunch of things, they don't know how to do it yet. so, what we're going to do is to continue look for ways to solve this problem. but, ultimately, they have to come to us and tell us what they need. what we can't do is to keep guessing about what -- >> the ball is in their court? >> absolutely. absolutely. they understand that. when they come back to us and say, we would like you to consider this and that, we'll take a look at that. >> one final question, this is your last assignment for the president, wrapping up these negotiations, so, how much longer you're going to be staying? interesting to see this week, warren buffett thinks your best replacement would be the head of hp, jamie dimon. >> i think he, if we did run into problems in markets i think he would be the best person we could have. >> any cha

for better access to buses and trains to allow us to get to school and work? i'd rather be well-informed, well trained, well paid her well-traveled than well, married. and i am not alone. according to the office of national statistics, the number of under 20s getting married represents less than half a percent of all marriages in "the sunday times" in the annual number of marriages is at the lowest for over 100 years. someone once said of the state temporary insanity. without sounding too sappy, love doesn't need a cure. love is about marriage. it is marriage that is immoral without love. perhaps we should be focusing on reducing the uk's high divorce rate rather than promoting marriage. the coalition for equal marriage is love is love regardless of gender. well, i would add that love is love regardless of marital status. and while the majority of us, almost all of us absolutely believe in marriage for all his rate and yes, compared to some countries can bush legalize same-sex marriage some years ago, i note that the u.k. has been slow to act. if things are ra

i refused to take a pledge not to raise taxes. it didn't make sense to lie to people.makes sense. >> we know you love raising taxes in. >> everybody wants to raise taxes. >> i can't wait until i get in that state house. >> i would like to lower taxes, that would be far better. when you are talking 17% of revenue, you can't cut 17% out of a state budget which spends $5 billion on medicaid alone. you can't do it. we have no power to cut that medicaid program. in fact, just prior to my becoming governor, they passed a law under the republican governor, medicaid benefits causing a $95 million hole. i have that hole because of the action taken. we are honest. it's about time people feel free to have an honest discussion. we also trim very substantially the same service expenditure level. it was a combination of cuts. we went back to state employees. you have to have skin in the game. we saved tens of billions of dollars by re-negotiating our interaction with state employees. you don't get credit for it. i plays out over 20 years. $21.5 billion is a lot of money. it's a bill

i'm sure we'll continue to get democrats to sign. and so we just need to get to the magic number of 218. so if we get a little help from our republican colleagues, they would be telling the middle class that middle class folks are going to get the tax relief, 98% of the americans. in fact, as you know, 100% of american families will get tax relief on their first $250,000 in income. >> yeah. why does -- okay. let's say boehner does give up on the rates on the top 2%. what are you willing to give up? where do you think the democrats will go? >> well, first of all, it's also the overall number the president's called for. what the president has said is we need $1.6 trillion as part of an overall deficit reduction plan because if you don't get those additional revenues, but you also try to reduce the deficit, you end up whacking everybody else much harder. and so it's really important to have that revenue number as high as possible. >> sure. >> look, the president's already been clear, ed, on cuts. he will continue to implement over the n

would you care to respond to that?>> congressmen, as someone who comes appear on a weekly basis and sits in front of the appropriations committee and the authorizing committee staff as well and has to justify every single dollar and then i have to justify whatever money was spent to secretary clinton. she does not like her will stand for wasting a dime as relates to our knees to make sure every time is spent correctly we have lots and lots of people who determined that to be the case. there is nothing more we care about to make sure every dollar we spend is used for security and infrastructure of our people. i think we get it right 99% of the time. i'm not going to comment on either one of these programs he spoke about. that could have a conversation today to talk about each of those programs. generally, most people suggest that we spend the money we have, less than 1% of the federal budget pretty effectively. >> lets me say again and explaining to my constituents, who were losing their jobs in their houses, that there

to washington to do. the gentlelady cited bill after bill after bill that i have been proud to support to try to rip the president's health care bill out by its roots. we have worked hard on that the senate hasn't cooperated with us, the president hasn't cooperated with us, so we weren't able to get that done. this bill says let's move beyond the controversial topics, let's move beyond the topics we know we could jam through. there's a republican majority, we could yam through any piece of legislation we wanted to jam through. but this rule says this is not the way to finish out this year. this rule says we need to grab each piece of legislation that has bipartisan support, grab each piece of legislation that folks have been laboring on for two years, they've brought together a consensus around and let's pass those things. i think that's fantastic. i think that's fantastic that every single bill members have been investing their energy in, they've been able to -- they'll now have a chance to move to the f
