i think i know whaa he wants to do. i know what the paper work suggests will happen. you are dealing with so many different elements of the executive branch. i think there is a spirit f cooperation among the different committees in the congress and the administration. that includes the defense department. one thing is lacking is that congress has still noo responded to one of the major complaints of the 9/11 commission. congress is not organized itself in a slim down -- slimmed down and more discreet manner so that we can work on a better basis with the executive branch. the number of committees they have to respond to across the board with respect to questions of home as security is nuts. the whole reason we established a homeland security committee in the house was presumably to take care of that problem. a lot of the other committees did not want to let go of the jurisdiction. that interfered. instead of having proper, vigorous, robust, ernest oversight that we need to have, we have that multiplied several different ways which interferes with the effectiveness of i

different efforts, and both systems, political systems and economic systems, are starting to understand whaait takes in one another's countries in order to make the transformation. from an ideological, from a political perspective, both countries are adjusting to that challenge internally. in both places, that is a real conversation between political policy-makers and the public. in the united states of the challenge that we face is that we essentially have parliamentary parties. that is, our party is have become more polarized and more hardened around ideological positions, but we do not have a parliamentary system that gives one party or another a mandate to do what it wants. we have this divided government system between the two branches and the two parties. what you see with public awareness on climate is a growing acceptance on climate change in the center part of the country, which is where the bedrock of public opinion is. the political extremes in the united states elected four separate -- in the united states -- the left for several decades believed climate change to be real, the ri

government now needs to understand whaa went wrong and fix it.e do not have too few regulating agencies. we had too many. what does barbara boxer and president obama's answer to these agencies who failed in their job? "never mind these failures. let's create another agency, the consumer federal protection agency, and have the taxpayers find them and magically that will solve the problem." which we should never have repealed glass-steagall. we should never have embraced -- >> we should never have repealed glass-steagall. in 1999, the leadership of my party and the president asked congress to repeal glass- steagall. but that did was allow the banks to get bigger. it allowed investment banks and commercial banks to expand until they became too big to fail. only five republicans voted no. i was one of those five. the mistake is that you allow the federal guarantee to get beyond a very narrow area. the solution is relatively straightforward. where there is a federal deposit insurance as there is on our own personal savings and checking account, there
