national articulation of the notion that all americans are due as their right, not to spread and unequal education but that they are all due to learn challenging, academic content and the mental skills that will prepare them for further education and for careers. all children, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or economic condition, have the right to a public education that will prepare them for college, or demanding employment, for citizenship and civic engagement. today our nation is in the throes of a pervasive and still- threatening the economic crisis. we are re-examining institutions and fundamentally restructuring them to ensure that they whether the store and serve us better in the years to come. education is being viewed as foundational to a more secure national future, and for the first time in our country's history, there is a broad sense that we need all of our children to be better educated, not just an elite few. this week the president has called for the reauthorization of the elementary and second edition -- secondary education act, and a re-engineering of our publ

it has to be unequal dialogue between civilian leaders and military leaders. it's very important for military leaders to help many crystallize the policy by helping civilian leadership understand the potential costs and consequences, sharpen the objectives. george marshall said, if you get the object advertise right, a lieutenant can write the strategy. a lot of the debate has to be about that. george bundy by contrast, who helped set conditions for the disaster in vietnam, said that the lack of an objective was an an vandal because that would give the -- an advantage because that would give the president a benefit. the administration can say it wasn't our objective to win the war anyway. and it was that ambiguity that prevented the development of an effective strategy. the problem with -- they foiled to provide their best military advice and instead told the civilian bosses what the bosses wanted to hear. they compromised. they thought if we get a few in the door, over time they can argue for more resolute military action. so sometimes you can cast a false di

there has to be what professor elliott cohen has called this unequal dialog between civilian leaders and military leaders. it's very important for military leaders to help maybe crystallize the policy by helping -- helping civilian leadership understand the potential costs and consequences. help sharpen whatever the objectives are. george marshall said at one point that if you get the objectives right, a lieutenant can write the strategy. i think a lot of the -- you know, a lot of the debate has to be about that. i mean, george bundy by contrast, who helped, i think, set conditions for the disaster of vietnam and the way we got into vietnam, said that the lack of an objective was really an advantage. because that would give the president more flexibility in the domestic political realm. so if things went bad in vietnam, the administration could just say well, it wasn't really our objective to win this war anyway. and it was that ambiguity that prehaven't the development of an effective strategy. the problem with the joint chiefs in this period of time is the joint chiefs of staff fai

his policies boasted on still unequal accomplishment triggering a wide lead based economic goal. on a plan it averaged 3.3%. the gross national product increase annually by 7%. per-capita income grew 30%. real earnings for employee wage earners increased 22%. industrial production shot up 70%, the average workweek decreased 4%, consumer prices rose just 0.4%, no inflation at all. national wealth rose 17.5%. total education spending rose fourfold and in the decade of self automobile ownership rose threefold and literacy by half. historian paul ducks in sum it up, quote come under harding and still under coolidge the usa enjoy the general prosperity that is historic week unique in its experience or of that of any other society. coolidge was the last president to write his own speeches and he delivered more of them than any of his predecessors. as president he held 520 news conferences, eight per month. the fall when inauguration was for some reason expected to set a record for brevity. but his 4,005 words edged warren harding's 318 and the 3328 of woodrow wilson's to inauguration's

we have the zero most unequal to the addition of wealth and income of any major country on earth. that is immoral and wrong, is bad economics. when so few have so much and so many have so little, you don't create the kind of spending patterns that you want. those are some of the issues that we have got to address. i think that number one, my view is that this budget does not go far enough in terms of investing in america. i would go a lot further. i will offer amendments to do just that. i will tell you where we begin to get some of that money. i find it wrong that to have a situation where warren buffett, who has been before this committee, and he tells us that he pays a lower effective tax rate than does his secretary. this is the third richest guy in the world, $40 billion. does that make any sense at all? we have a situation where last year, exxonmobil, the most profitable corporation in the history of the world, not only did not pay any federal income taxes but actually received a text on last year in part by setting up tax shelters in the cayman islands and i recall that cha

the antagonists in the forest are disparate and unequal in almost every way.n one side is a massive paramilitary force armed with the money, the firepower, the media and the hubris of an emerging superpower. on the other, ordinary villagers armed with traditional weapons backed by a superbly organized hugely motivated maoist guerrilla fighting force with an extraordinary and violent rebellion. the maoist and the paramilitary are old adversaries and have fought several times before. each time it seemed as though the maoist or their previous people have been defeated but physically exterminated. and actually the maoist party or its sort of precursor started sometime in 1967 in india. and since then the state has crushed them. i mean, i think, just in the '70s something like 18,000 people were killed. and earlier that would be in the '50s when it wasn't the maoist party. it was a communist party. it's been a very, very violent legacy. but each time they reemerged more organized, more determined and influential than ever. today once again the insurrection has spre

the more equal the society, they found, the longer its people live, while the most unequal countries have more homicide, more obesity, more mental illness, more teen pregnancy, more high school dropouts, and more people in prison. the united states, they report, has the greatest inequality of income of any major developed country. that's the betrayal of the american promise. i'm a journalist, not an epidemiologist. but i've been listening to america for a long time now, and i've come to understand that what the richest and strongest among us want for their families is what most all members of society want for theirs, too: a home, steady work, enough money for a comfortable life and secure old age, the means to cope with illness and other misfortunes, and the happiness of living freely as citizens without fear. a society whose economic system cannot make those opportunities widely available is in deep trouble, the dreams of its people mocked and denied. that's it for "the journal". go to our website at pbs.org. click on "bill moyers journal" and you can read an interview i conducted w

as long as of nickel consumption rates continue, -- unequal consumption rates continue, immigration willontinue unstoppable. there is no way to keep out the people in the developing world who do not want to wait for their countries to become prosperous. terrorism will continue unstop pably. our present situation is uniquely dangerous in world history. the risk we face is the risk of global collapse. it is no longer possible that a country can collapse and isolation. when ireland collapsed in 1680, no one in the world knew about it. when the mayan world collapse, no one in florida knew anything about it. nowadays, everyone knows about it and is affected. the state governor, and of somalia has collapsed, and that affects people around the world. the desperate pirates of somalia know about the wealth representing the rest of the world. there hijacked and ships coming out of the red sea all around the world. the global financial crisis around the world illustrates when one bigger economy his rough water, it affects big economies around the world. i can promise you that the only sustainable s

this week we mark equal payday, a day when we recognize the unequal pay of women in this country. today, women still only make 77 cents to every dollar earned by men. but this disparity is not a women's issue, it's a family issue. there are just as many women as there are men in the work force now, and women are the breadwinner or co-breadwinner in about 2/3 of all american families. that's why all of us, men and women alike, have such a big stake in eliminating this gap. i was proud that my first speech as a freshman in this body was in support of the lilly ledbetter fair pay act, and when that legislation became the first bill president obama signed when caming -- taking office. i was proud when lilly ledbetter visited maine last month. and they passed a comparable work law and eliminating pay discrimination in our state. we have so much more to do. because when women are paid less everyone suffers, thank you, mr. speaker. . the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from maine yields back her time. for what purpose does the gentlelady from north carolina rise? ms. foxx: to address

kennedy, the congress passed the equal pay act to end the, quote, serious and endemic problem of unequal years later, all we know now is that the act is not working as intended in its current form. that is why we mark today, pay equity day, the day that a woman's 2009 earnings catches up with what men made last year. this is an occasion quite frankly i wish we no longer had to commemorate. the good news is that conditions are finally ripe to achieve real pay equity in america. we in the house of representatives have now passed the paycheck fairness bill twice. legislation that will give real peace to the equal pay act at last. simply said, men and women in the same job, in the same job should get the same amount of wages. you think that that is a no-brainer, but the fact of the matter is whether you are a waitress, bus driver, engineer, university professor, news anchor, women are being paid less for the same job as their male counterparts. those of us who serve in the house of representatives, men and women, different parts of the country, different education, different skills, we all g

with the most unequal distribution of wealth and then come than any major country on earth. natalie is that immoral and wrong, it is bad economics. when so few have so much in so many have so little, you create the kind of spending patterns that you want. those are some of the issues that we have got to address. what do i think? i think that number one, my view is that this budget does not go far enough in terms of investing in america. i'll go further. i will be offering amendments to do just that. where do we get the money? i will tell you where we begin to get some of that money. i find it ron that you have a situation where warren buffett who has been before this committee, he tells us that he pays a lower effective tax rate than does his secretary. this is the third richest guy in the world. somebody tell me that that makes any sense of all. i have a situation where last year, exxon mobile, the most profitable corporation in the history of the world not only did not pay any federal income taxes, but received a tax fund last year in part by setting up tax shelters in the

a fundamental world challenge to be faced today is unequal and unsustainable consumption rates around the world. per person consumption rates of energy, water, and metals and other things in the first world average about 32 times those in the developing world the average american consumes more fuel and metal does than the average citizen of kemnymnya. those consumption rates are unsustainable. people in the developing world know about the first world lifestyle. they do not like the inequities. as long as on equal consumption rates continue, immigration will continue on stubbly, there is no way we can keep out the hundreds of millions of people, billions of people in the developing world who cannot wait for other countries to become proper -- prosperous. terrorists will continue and wars will be unstoppable and it will be a matter of time before terrorism and wars involve nuclear weapons. our present situation is uniquely dangerous in world history because the risk we face now is the rest of the global collapse. does no longer possible that a country can collapse in isolation. when eas

point is not to take on a particular cable operator or cable system, only to graphically show the unequalompetitive situations for retail set-top boxes. the fact is most of these channels may be accessed by tivo but there is no mention of switch digital, no mention of tuning adapter. of the consumer sees is not available on cable card and most consumers look at that and say i'm not going to buy a retail box. said any-- even if you get past the programming issue, then you have pricing issues. how much is a cable card? do i have to pay for release it least box and they cable card and then there are installation issues, and sellers who failed to bring cable cards were not familiar with them, multiple truck rolls to do a single install and so on. fortunately congress anticipated the video service providers might foreclose the competition and innovation. the consumer electronics availability act directed the fcc to ensure in its regulation the commercial availability of competitive devices for multichannel video programming providers. the subcommittee's bill became section 629 in 1996, the tel

of work to protect our public lands and his efforts to improve the quality of our environment are unequaled. stewart udall was instrumental in the passage of virtually all of our nation's landmark environmental laws, including the clean air act of 1963, the wilderness act of 1964, the federal water pollution control act of 1965, the endangered species act of 1966, the national historic preservation act of 1966, the national trail system act of 1968, and the wild and scenic rivers act of 1968. nearly half a century later, these laws remain the key protections for our nation's land and air and water. in addition, he oversaw significant additions to the national park system and the national wildlife refuge system. many years after he left office, he was a driving force behind the enactment of the radiation exposure compensation act of 1990. in the 161-year history of the department of interior, there have been many exceptional individuals who have served as secretary of interior, and stewart udall certainly ranks among the best of those. in recognition of his lifetime of work pursuing the comm

our own experience would anyone have imagined that our new colony would be disenfranchised and kept unequal in our own political framework? our commitment to puerto rico's advancement under the 1898 treat ofy -- treaty of paris should be our judge. if our measure of success is today's puerto rico then i say puerto rico has done well by the united states. it is a showcase of democracy in the caribbean. having some of the highest voter turnout rates in our nation, puerto rico shames many of our own states with its energy and enthuse yass much in electing its leaders -- enthuse yass much in electing -- enthusiasm in electing our leaders. it's cared a home away are from home for many companies. equally in important to puerto rico's prowess is the island's contributions to our own social fabric. every aspect of american art, music, theater and sport has been influenced by puerto rico's own culture and its people. and beyond such contributions, there remains puerto rico's patriotism, beginning in world war i, when thousands of puerto ricans served in the u.s. military. there's no doubt that many
