Thats the anxiety indicator, if you like. This morning, the yield is back up to 1. 00 . Ashley back up. Stuart back up, thats right. Well above the extraordinary lows that we hit yesterday. That would be record lows that we did touch yesterday. 1 even on the tenyear treasury. How about the price of gold, another flight to safety. Actually its down again, off two bucks at 1641. Okay. The primaries. A great night for joe biden. He won nine states including texas. He now has more delegates than bernie. Sanders did win california, but late deciders swarmed to biden. Bernie might not have won california if the two million early voters had just waited. Bloomberg did very badly, only winning American Samoa. His campaign is quote, evaluating its future. One of my colleagues at fox said never had anyone spent so much to achieve so little. Elizabeth warren, ultimate disaster, third in her home state of massachusetts, fourth in her native state, oklahoma. It was joes night. Hes back as a contende
Year. The last longterm bill we passed with safetealu in 2005. That was 10 years ago and that bill was underfunded because of the resistance of raising the gasoline tax or identifying new revenue sources. For over a decade we have failed to address the funding challenges necessary to break the cycle of underinvestment and put this country back on a competitive path with the rest of the world. Today we spend about 1. 7 of g. D. P. On infrastructure while china spends 9 , europe 4. 5 to 5 . We used to spend 4. 5 to 5 also. There is a 800 million backlog. Public transit has an 6 billion backlog of critical maintenance and repair needs which increased by 2. 5 billion each year as bus and Rail Infrastructure ages. While infrastructure crumbles around us, we dont fill the gap in the Highway Trust Fund just to do a longterm bill at current levels. But this week they will put on the floor a tax extenders that will cost 182 billion over 10 years completely unpaid for. Im concerned that we will
Priority of the agency now. I have one more question. You recently stated that the sole basis for recommendation to the ban of most widely used chemicals was cumulative Risk Assessment which found the majority of Citizens Advisory Panel recommendation which found the majority of risk associated with chemicals was from another chemical, dehp. Can you explain concerns for using cumulative Risk Assessment as a basis for such regulatory determination . Thank you. The chap and the proposed rule is of great concern to me has been of concern to me since the chap issued its report because i believe the chap report should have been a public should have been subject to public peer review at that point. From that point onto me the system and whole process has been flawed. The cumulative Risk Assessment youre talking about is one of my concerns in that the process thats used, thats not well accepted in the Scientific Community, cumulative Risk Assessment, so i think that goes to the process and va
To you that with this in mind what actions have you taken in the past year to provide relief to companies with respect to costs of Third Party Testing requirements . Thank you congresswoman. One of the areas we found interesting, and this was discovered by Small Business ombudsman, i dont want to get the commissioner upset since it involves his prior occupation, but we found a lot of Third Party Labs are testing for services that are not required and so our Small Business ombudsman and his Office Provide phenomenal support and assistance working with Small Businesses and i encourage any members with Small Businesses that have issues, reach out to neil cohen of cpsc because he can work with companies to go through testing reports and find out whether or not they really need certain testing. He doesnt actually go line by line, but he says here are general guidances and questions you should be asking. He really does a phenomenal job of empowering a lot of companies. Thats gone a huge way
And the pelosi factor thoufl republican fear of the minority leader has been driving the election had decisions for a decade and counting. This is mtp daily and it starts right now. Good evening. Im in for chuck todd. We begin with the presidency in peril that now confronts a Chain Reaction of chaos and dysfunction at home amid newly escalating threat of nuclear hostilities abroad. This is escalating state of chaos that President Trump now confronts and what is arguably his weakest moment so far as president. Everywhere you turn, things are a mess. The u. S. Senate now stands on the brink as republicans try on deliver the president a much needed victory after a disaster ow couple of weeks. President trump has publicly urged republicans to invoke the socalled Nuclear Option to elimina eliminate, if judge gorsuch cant get the 60 votes needed to overcome the blockade.
