united states. my district's not unique in its need for more investments in roads, bridges. we need more investment in job creation, put people back to work. people want to invest here in the united states. national security also means whether or not people have a job, whether or not people can earn a living. i urge, again, my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, to help me and help mr. jones and others who co-sponsored this amendment, put a little wind behind the president's desk in july so he makes a meaningful announcement, so we can see light at the end of the tunnel, so there's an exit strategy. mr. speaker, let me urge my colleagues to defeat the previous question. if we defeat the previous question i'll make in order h.r. 1979 by mr. andrews of new jersey to expand eligibility for concurrent receipt of military retired pay and veterans' disability compensation to include chapter 61 disability retearees to increase the monthly amount of special survivor indemity of widows and widowers and to enhance the ability of the reserve components who serve on active duty or perform active service in support of contingency operation or other emergency operations, to receive credit for such service and early

think that mr obama clearly has a choice between empire and security and that is not just security for the united states there is security for all of its puppets around the world well let's stay on this topic of egypt i know a lot of people kind of getting ready anticipating today's speech compared you know compared to the one we saw back in two thousand and nine in cairo certainly a lot has changed since then but i want to play a portion of what president obama said regarding egypt's and then i'll get your take on it. and that's why two years ago in cairo i began to broaden our engagement based upon mutual interests and mutual respect. i believed then and i believe now. that we have a stake not just in the stability of nations but in the self-determination of individuals the status quo is not sustainable. society is held together by fear and repression may offer the illusion of stability for a time. but they're built upon thought lines that will eventually terrorists under . so here we have president obama talking about quote societies held together by fear and repression one thing that seems a little

about the investment environment, investment policies and in particular the security of review policies in the united states. and given what happened to some cases related to security review in the united states happening to chinese companies trying to make an investment here, we've got the feeling that there is a lack of transparency in your security review policies. and one of the investment hurdles for the chinese companies trying to make investments here is that they are short of talented people. actually, to make investment is just like spend money. it's not easy at all to spend money and it is even harder to try to get a bigger band of your money. so for the chinese companies, they really face the issue of how to well spend their money. it's very difficult for chinese companies to have those capable people who understand at the same time the domestic situation their particular industry and the situation here in the united states. >> rose: you have said that the thing that could get in the the way of u.s./chinese relations is fear, not so much disagreement over specific policies. >> i think you see thi

both parties, for example, have failed to move the united states closer to energy security since the first saudi-led oil embargo in 1973. instead of freeing the u.s. economy from the arab-held dagger pointed at its heart, american presidents, republican and democratic, have unmanfully groveled begged and even publicly bowed to the tyrants of the arabian peninsula for their quest for oil. the same presidents have so enormously overspent the public treasury that america is in the thrall with the largest tyrant than china. one that puts u.s. energy in financial security in the hands of its enemies. because of such leaderships, americans find they have lost control over the peace or war decision. if anti-saudi unrest in the kingdom's eastern province ever seriously occur tails oil production u.s. will detour the police state and return the flow of oil and a reality of an automatic war of oil goes beyond the arab world. currently, mexico is one of our top oil suppliers and is creeping toward the failed -- the status of a failed state. and by 2015, the united states will import 20% of its

take all of these statements and contacts we just had a report from the social security administration here in the united states saying that it's going to be even tougher to fund medicare and social security is going to start to run into a deficit situation sooner than expected but the number one reason why those numbers changed is because unemployment is so high and unemployment is high because we made the decision it's a nation and one that not to invest more and job growth and job creation and economic growth so this is not accidental what we're seeing in effect is a death spiral a policy driven best spiral element of the social contract and number two because we've had a generation now of tax cuts for the highest income people in this country and as a result it's starting to bleed dry some of the basic. social services that have been part of the deal what we're seeing and here's another example that i'd like to give you in the nineteen eighties that social security had a true financial crisis and under ronald reagan democrats and republicans got together and worked it out but were none of them anticipated w
