Way to move the ball forward. Other members of the panel i dont know if anyone would like to comment on the clarity of the language. I would say while we recognize the preventy of it to simply say, go act reasonably, thats a negligent standard. Were all under a duty to act reasonably in our daily lives and not be negligent. When youre facing a threat of this nature, to have the congress say, hey, act reasonably, i think thats underwhemg as a standard and expectation as we enter the age of cyber battles.

Every morning here since the election. Fiscal cliff, big, big issue. There are now, it seems, growing numbers of people on both the right and the left who would like to see us just go over that fiscal cliff. How big of a problem would that be .
