Around two buildings around the Old Student Union and i believe the new football practice is silly, you could have fit the student body, when senator daschle was here, in that facility. I am going to get to the point. Dr. Lee, make sure i did not bury the lead in dr. Miller. And dr. Hogan, who set lot of the ground rules here early. This is a dialogue. It is not a debate. But there will be differences. We hope to get into those tonight as we go forward. A year ago tonight, the government shutdown. It seems appropriate that we gather here, in this environment , and talk about partisanship and whether or not there is such a thing. The senate recently has been described as equipment of mass dysfunction. I think that is probably a pretty good description. The ratings of congress are so low that senator john mccain says it is basically down to members themselves and to their Staff Members who did the only people that are saying that they are approving of congress. , these two long ago leade

Labour government racking up debt for our children and our grandchildren to pay. [applause] david cameron. You can copy our ideas, but you will never imitate our values. Ae british people dont want conservative government running their country which only looks after its own kind. [applause] is left then to our party, to us, to work our hearts out each and every day, to give the a fairer britain society. We will do everything we can to ensure you and your family will have the opportunity to get on. That is britain we can defeat the policies of fear. And we have seven short months to tell people to show people that it has been a party that speaks to the decent British Values that they hold. Let our opponents say what they will. Go to the country with our heads held high. Say what they will. We will go to the country with a plan with a goal of everything that we want to achieve. Nowwhat they will, we are the only party holding firm to decent, liberal values, while they will blame us. Are
Its entirety. 2. 6 trillion is medicare, medicaid, Social Security and interest on the debt. Interest on the debt by the way is scheduled to approach 1 trillion within a tenyear period of time, within the budget window. All of that money we cant use for something else. So 3. 6 is the big number and 2. 6 is what we spent for the debt and right around a trillion for Everything Else.

And if you get rid of everything, in those four years we wouldnt even balance the budget. So that is the magnitud
You just wrote a book that says a lot of what the government does may not do any good and we spend i omitted the word may. Isnt there some point of having a Budget Constraint here which says to the congress, ok look, live within these things and lets spend more on the stuff that works and doesnt. Thats kind of the idea. Right. A, sent that a good idea . And b, why doesnt that ever happen . Why doesnt it ever happen . Why dont they set priorities and spend more on what they should and less on what they shouldnt . I think its just too hard. The government is gargantuan. Theres a book of Government Programs, if you dropped it on your toe, would you have to immediately go to the hospital. Thousands of pages. The government is just huge. How can you we cant even control the department of defense. We were in a meeting a couple months ago that had an important senior official and department of defense said they dont even know what the budget is. Is that correct . No, thats not right. Im talki
