Africa. So, i think we are seeing a perhaps unplanned, but none the less, an expansion of the chinese ability to deploy ships far beyond regional wars. But not necessarily to the indian ocean or persian gulf. No, they are doing some of that. Since december 2008 of course, theyve had to Counter Piracy formations in the gulf of aden. They are slowly beginning to deploy more and more ships into the indian ocean. The fact that earlier i guess last year, they sent a conventionally powered submarine, certainly has gotten the indian navys attention. The indian navy tends to take an exaggerated view but none the less we are seeing increased distance deployment by the chinese navy. On mikes question, if i remember my World History correctly, there actually arent too many cases of a continental power becoming maritime power. Soviet yoon ontried, failed. Were the only one. So, what china is setting for itself is not a small goal. On allens question, i agree that once you have the capabilities, th

Padre Island National sea shore is 70 miles of a Barrier Island with beach bay coastal prayer prairie. We are located about 25 minutes from the city of Corpus Christi texas. This island started out by being used by american tribes seasonally. They would come here during nice weather. There was a bounty of fish in the area, a lot of seed plants, and they would leave when the weather turned bad in the winter. What happened next was when
Government spending is something that does not guilty gel with real life. In other words all of these government expenditures in some of the graphs that we show today are because were not taking their money so therefore, that e kwatquates to Government Spending where in real life does not taking somebodys money equate to spending again, the credible credibility gap, i think increases when statements like that are made. By the way, if thats the case, i think that what . Our gdp is what . 17 trillion . What we take in revenue and taxes is about roughly about 3 trillion. Ballpark figures. So, in essence, that means that were spending 14 trillion because thats money that the government is not taking from the economy. So should we then call that 14 trillion in Government Spending .

House of representatives in washington, d. C. This morning. What a contrast. Berta, you have to hop on a plane and i know you will be marching with the ladies in whi
U. S. Feels about this new peace proposal from france and germany, particularly in the context of merkel coming here next week and these discussions about whether to send lethal aid. Im also wondering if you have anything on that magical piece of paper to share with us, feel free to do so. Purely administrative issues. That better not be the case. Let me say a couple of things on this. The United States has been saying for some timing that it will that its a diplomatic negotiation thats required to bring this conflict in ukraine to an end. This is not something thats going to be solved or resolved militarily but rather through diplomatic negotiations. We certainly are encouraging and supportive of ongoing efforts to try to find a peaceful diplomatic resolution to the conflict in ukraine. One concern that we have is previous diplomatic efforts have resulted in agreements that the russians and the separatists that they back in Eastern Ukraine didnt live up to. There were commitments made
