But our farmers and ranchers need the security of this farm bill. Mr. Chairman, i would like to thank you for not including agriculture in the reconciliation instruction in the senate. We have about 400 different organizations, led by the american arm bureau and others, who have asked us not to include the language in the final document. We have made the cuts, more than any other committee, beyond reconciliation and unfortunately, if we open up the farm bill, everything is opened up. No mistake about this through this is not just a debate about nutrition. If we do not work with the farm bill, it will be livestock disaster and conservation as well as nutrition and Rural Development and other things that are absolutely critical for certainty in Rural America certainly across michigan and across the country, so, mr. Chairman, i look forward to working with you. I hope this final document will recognize the work was done on a bipartisan basis. It was my great pleasure to work with chairman
Must be done. At a time when americas facing difficult challenges both here and abroad, the American People expect us to put their priorities ahead of politics and gridlock. Today, thats exactly what we are doing. A balanced budget promises a government that will actually spend tax dollars wisely and gives hardworking americans the freedom to pursue their future. Our work today and in the coming weeks will show Hardworking Taxpayers that congress is committed to a government that is more effective and more accountable. Our fiscal outlook is grim and has been ignored for far too long. Runaway spending over the past six years has created a dangerously growing debt because washington spends now and pays later. Hardworking taxpayers across the country are feeling anxious. The Congressional Budget Office projects the federal government will collect a record 3200 billion, thats 3. 2 trillion in revenue this year. So even as federal revenues hit record highs, were on track to overspend by nea
In the technology area, we already witnessed a different kind of thinking. Right now we still enjoy leadership and we still enjoy standard leadership. So were able to apply some of our influence. Over time come as you know, especially in the area of Technology Evolves very quickly. By not being there, we will very quickly lose our ability to impact. Once it is harmonized based on the United States standards, for example, all the businesses will suffer because that means we potentially have to create different that the products, different sets of services. That will ever stamp act our ability to expand commerce. Thank you are a match. Too many of the other panelists want to comment on that . Yes. I know john lancaster, we are colleagues together on the United States institute of peace. I dont mean to put words into his mouth, but it is their laments to it the United States can expect to do in terms of influence in other countries. You dont have to be exactly what we would like you to be
Good morning, everybody. It is wednesday, august 26th. And im yasmin vossoughian. Weve got a lot to cover this morning. Night two of the Republican National convention kicking off with the president blurring the lines between the government and the Trump Campaign. Speeches continued under the theme land of opportunity, as they are putting it. The speakers touting President Trumps first term achievements and continuing to describe a dark vision for america if joe biden wins in november. Former Florida Attorney general and one of the president s impeachment defense lawyers pam bondi tried to paint biden as corrupt. She repeated debunked claims that the former Vice President improperly intervened in the ukraine to protect his son. We were told to look at joe biden as the model of integrity when you look at the 47 year of politics, the people who benefited are his family members, not the american people. Lets take a closer look. We all know about joes son hunter biden a corrupt ukrainian o
Are arising every day. That context that the president is choosing to go back on the campaign trail and be filmed proudly in front of thousands of people who probably wont be social distanced, many not wearing masks. Why is the white house doing this . Whats the political calculation . Look, i think that john as we discussed many times, it is often not a political calculation and simply desire to do what the president wants. He wants to be back on the road for the final three weeks. What theyre saying theyll have him do is for seniors, he battled with covid, they had an ad with a misleading quote from dr. Anthony fauci in the middle of it or the end talking about work of coronavirus months ago, made it sound like he was talking about the president. Thats going to be their strategy, to try to sell it as a Success Story on the issue that he is behind joe biden on how to handle coronavirus for many months. Is it way too late to turn it around . Probably. I think again, i am not a doctor,
