you called the passage of health care reform unconscionable abuse of power. unconscionable? >> well, i think the decision to take the nuclear option as the president did, to not secure a single republican vote in contravention of his promise during the campaign, that he would reach across-party lines, that he would work on a bipartisan basis, that was very, very disappointing. >> larry: if they're not going to vote for it, what is he supposed to do, scratch it? if he liked the plan, he ran on it. >> what he is supposed to do is have a plan that is bipartisan. we have a plan in massachusetts that i worked with democrats on. we worked on a bipartisan basis. it's not perfect, but nonetheless we worked together and therefore secured a better piece of legislation and more support in the community by virtue of doing so. but in addition to that, he said that he was going to eschew the politics of special interests. and also giving special deals to senators like senator nelson and others we'll find -- backed off. >> larry: he backed off, though. >> well, others have come to light an

job-killing piece of legislation that would put this nation on the path to socialized medicine is unconscionable. unfortunately, the country's going to suffer from now to the november elections when the democrat majority will meet the consequences of their votes on sunday. however, in the meantime, i urge the president and speaker pelosi to start working on the economy and jobs and trying to get people back to work. i don't know how they sleep at night knowing they haven't addressed this up until now, but we got to get cash back into the markets for small businesses and put people back to work. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new york seek recognition? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. mrs. maloney: madam speaker, this chart was produced by the joint economic committee, and it shows the constant process of the creation and loss of jobs that occurs in our economy. the solid black line shows the number of private sector jobs created. the dotted line shows the number of priva

on the peninsula and i expected her to say the carpet bombing of north korea which was lacking unconscionable and which really did constitute a war crime conducted with so much indifference to the civilian life and this is something that as americans we need to come to terms with regardless how we think about calling about the north koreans don't talk about that very much because of conflicts with the personality cult. kim's son ill couldn't have been protective mother the leader if he allowed the country to be flattened on his watch so instead of that kind of thing, the focus on the completely fictional of rage like this alleged murder of victorian child by american missionaries. and this girl that i talked to said in response to my question yes, you americans did a lot of bad things once a career in title stockley peach for an american missionaries orchard and she was murdered. now these seem like very trivial stories to us that this is the kind of thing be used to whip up anti-americanism and north korea. and far from showing any signs of fear of the united states and their propaganda, the

even more unconscionable is that millions more already have coverage. they cannot access the care they need because they have reached the yearly lifetime insurance limits. this overwhelmingly affects families dealing with chronic conditions and disabilities and can lead to bankruptcy. i would like to talk about a family in rhode island. barbara is a devoted mother of two remarkable boys. a three month supply of medication costs success in dollars. she came to my office to advocate for her son. despite her challenges, she knows that she is one of the lucky ones. she has insurance coverage for now. without health care reform, she will forever be held hostage by insurance companies' lifetime caps and barriers about pretenses -- pre-existing conditions. there are others like barbara who are struggling to afford the coverage they have. currently, there are no safety nets in the private market for people who reach annual lifetime caps. the only options are to get rid of their assets or go on medicaid. it is time to fix this injustice. people did not deserve t

it is unconscionable to have over 387,000 people deported in the first year of the obama presidency andr community is angry and our members feel betrayed. it is not just deportations. in addition to the raids, president obama said woodstock would continue. over 2,000 immigrants have been detained in rates in the first year of his administration and two weeks ago homeland security completed a three day sweep in texas arresting 284 immigrants and 119 were from the dallas-fort worth area and 80 from san antonio this is part of the new step up of wave of arrests the administration plans. this is happening at the same time u.s. census bureau is sending out a census forms across the united states. unlike previous administrations in 1990 and 2000 which backed off during this time point* this administration appears to double down of a time when the community could be scared away from filling out the census. that is a shame because we see immigration enforcement during this timeframe can contribute to a huge undercounts in the latino community then come a lack of resources being delivered to the

that's unconscionable, unreasonable, and it will deny our seniors access to care. we need to do this in an orderly way. the extension that the majority leader, the assistant majority leader have made repeatedly on the floor to allow for the short-term extension that the overwhelming majority of members of congress strongly support. we need to move forward with that, and then let's come to the floor and debate the longer term extensions. i have just got a feeling that when that floor comes up on the floor of the body, you will see an overwhelming number of voters voting in favor of the extension of unemployment compensation and insurance protection for the unemployed. because it's the right thing to do. it's the right thing to do as a nation in a recession. it's the right thing to do in order to strengthen our economy and to create more job opportunities because that money is spent in our community and keeps jobs and expands jobs. it must be part of our strategy in creating more job opportunities for americans. so, madam president, i take the floor to encourage my c

it is unconscionable that we put our children and grandchildren in debt. and the numbers work out to be something like this. we have had something like an $11.3 trillion national debt. national debt has been raised to $14 trillion and if you look at the obama budget, that takes it up, when you project it out over 10 years, $28 trillion. this is a massive burden, and how do we work out of it? let's say we raise minimum wage 30 some beers or so and davis-bacon wage scale and union scale on every construction project in america that has $2,000 or more invested in it, inflates the quoss of every project that has federal dollars in it, 5% to 38%. average of 22% increase because of davis-bacon wage scale which truly rl union wage scales. while the federal government is managing minimum wage and managing imposing union wage scale -- and by the way, davis-bacon wage scale is the last jim crow law left in the america. it is the remaining jim crow law. it was designed to lock african americans out of the trade wages in new york city in 1932. there was a contractor l

and, as we've already heard from senator whitehouse, that's why it is unconscionable that the confirmation of president obama's nominee for ambassador to the world trade organization, michael punke, is being held up by a single senator. senator tester came to the floor last week to ask senator bunning to stop blocking mr. punke's confirmation. now, after reading yesterday's "new york times," i felt compelled to also speak about the hold on this confirmation. yesterday's story in the paper reported on china's aggressive filing of complaints with the w.t.o. in the last 12 months china filed more complaints with the w.t.o. than any other country, even though it is cleaning the clock of every country on the planet, including the united states, when it comes to trade. china racked up a nearly $200 billion trade surplus with the rest of the world last year. its trade imbalance with the united states is 4:1. and yet the united states's top position at the w.t.o. -- you guessed it, the position that mr. punke has been nominated for -- is being held up. it's still vacant because there is one senato

and yet, it is my mind-boggling, literally unconscionable, to think we are about to slap the american people in the face and have the audacity to say, we know better than you. in town meetings, at tea party rallies, from emails, faxes, letters, and literally millions of phone calls that have jammed the capitol switchboard, the voices of america have spoken out, begging, pleading work their elected representatives, please, slow down, start over, and do this the right way. sadly, instead of listening to the american people, the democrat majority, at least most of them, have chose ton tune the people out. to ignore the angst, fear, frustration, and anger, in hopes that somehow that will all go away. let me assure you, it will not this whole process has been an insult. it's an outrage. it's an all-out attack on freedom and liberty, on fiscal responsibility, and on the sanctity of human life. on thursday afternoon, right after work, a man from my district left his wife and children, drove all night some 998 miles all the way from fairhope, alabamaing to be washington, d.c., just to go door
