And it doesnt it cant serve as a substitute for protecting, not abusing, the American Public. And its environmental safety. Weve all grown accustomed to repeated efforts here on the floor to gut important environmental safeguards that protect public health. All told, my friends on the other side of the aisle have had Something Like 200 votes to block action to address Climate Change, to halt efforts to reduce air and water pollution, to undermine protections for public lands, coastal areas and the ecology.

He could gooice to great falls, montana, or casper, wyoming, and he opted for casper, fortunately.

Her responses, yes, and then he would have been Vice President of the united states. He has a dry sense of humor, and you hear this from people who were his compatriots and colleagues over the years. This guy who seems somewhat humorless went on camera interviews, and in fact, he has got a good wit to him, and he says kind of funny aphoristic things, but he generally will not do that on camera. Will not do that in interviews. He has got this private side that has made him a lot of very loyal ones, particularly here in wyoming, but i think elsewhere as well.

Addressed in a deal, it certainly went part way, but leaves a number of issues still on the table. Would you care to raise that as an additional fiscal cliff that is facing us . Would you think that its not as concerning as it was when you raise that term initially . As i said the fiscal cliff, if it is allowed to take place, it probably would have traded a recession this year. A good bit of that has been addressed. Nevertheless, we still have fairly restrictive fiscal policies now. It is estimated that federal fiscal policy will we have quite a bit to do to address the their longterm sustainability issues. Theres a lot more work to do. Let me be very clear about that. Its going to be a long haul and its not going to happen overnigh3 its going to be a long haul and its not going to happen overnight.
