Is availability. How do we insure stability for these Academic Medical Centers and patients they serve if we put gme funding at risk . We believe and hope that our proposal does not do that and meets the objectives of making sure we are training appropriate physicians for both primary care and specialties where we dont have as many as we should. At the same time, making sure we target it. There is 100 million for pediatric and a wider pool for competition. It is an issue we want to meet the same objectives in the same time and do it in a fiscally responsible way. Thank you. Mr. Guthrie, five minutes for questioning. Thank you, madam secretary, for coming. I look forward to the next years as vice chair. First directing your attention to the cost Share Reduction Program contained in the aca.

Cameras before a a Senate Judiciary subcommittee. Live on cspan 3. Theres been a lot of talk lready already on the 2016 campaign trail of the gap between the richest americans and everyone else. Welln be talking about that topic here in this special roundtable on the washington journal. Were joined by scott of d mich manhattanae institute and michael ent console of the roosevelt 2013 institute. C ineq michael, first, president obama in 2013 called this issue economic inequality issue woagu defining challenge of our time. Would you agree with that . Yes, i think inequality is the doubling of top shares that are going to run away a real ce median class. Median incomes are down 8 since 2000 in particular areas. Aus e lot of unemployment.

When president bush instituted it and president obama continued it, they didnt have an open discussion about whether the country should have such a program. And actually that seems to run through a little bit of yesterdays opinion by judge lynch. Even dick cheney. This is something that i discovered in writing this book that nobody had ever seen before. When he wrote his dissent in the irancontra matter, he said if you have a hard Foreign Policy or National Security issue, a wise president first would not engage in excessive secrecy, and, second, a wise president would have a full and open democratic discussion in which he would attempt to persuade the public of the need for validity of a broad program.

Clean debt limit increase. Under no circumstances . I told the president theres no way were going to pass one. The votes are not in the house and the president is risking default by not having a conversation with us. By moodys ceo says the chance of a u. S. Default is extremely unlikely. That reflects our thinking that it is extremely unlikely that the government treasury is not going to continue to pay on the treasury securities. Hopefully it is unlikely that we dont go past october 17th and fail to raise the debt ceiling, but even if that does happen, then we think the u. S. Treasury is still going to pay on its treasury securities, prioritize those payments. Still, the dollar is trading near an eight month low today amid debt default fears. Take a look at whats been happening. You can see that the dollar is down against the euro at 1. 3572. The dollar is at 96. 96. Well talk more about that with john harwood.
