On him. The joy and peace in that mass were a gift to many, who continue to respond to it. Since his death, i have learned so much about my fathers faith and how he lived it. That our understanding of him continue to grow in to death. That we have a new understanding of gods love. Some of my friends have expressed this beautifully in the jewish tradition.

This is getting some things done. And its appropriate that we take up this bill today. And here is why. Do you realize 8 of all 88 of all americans support Energy Independence . 88 . 65 of all americans think that building the Keystone Pipeline is what this country should do. Now, i have to tell you, i listened to the president and to the excuses that come out of the administration and i think with the Supreme Court decision in nebraska today the president is out of excuses. Hes out of excuses. Hes run the gamut on it. No more excuses. It is time that we pass it, the senate pass it and that this legislation go to the president s desk. One of my colleagues said that being here on the floor today is a waste of time. I really disagree with that, mr. Chairman. The president vetoing this legislation is a waste not only of the American Peoples time but of the resources and the taxpayer money that come into the coffers for this government to function. Create 20,000 new jobs, increase our ener
Make that will create significant construction and infrastructure jobs. Now, were this just in isolation and it didnt involve the total construction of the forests of canada, if i were a canadian id be pretty upset about that, and perhaps the dirtiest, most environmentally problematic way of extracting fossil fuels from the ground to get these oil sands, the construction jobs might have, you know, might carry the day. But sometimes you have to draw a line. And in this case, you know we also hear its going to lead somehow to Energy Security.

You believe the agency has used every tool at its disposal to address the budget shortfall . If not, i guess id have to raise the question of whether the fha is failing to properly manage its portfolio, which places the taxpayer at greater expense. I believe weve use every tool at our disposal, and we have made prudent and appropriate policy changes, whether thats increasing in premiums or the many other changes that ive talked about here today. We also have to do that in a way that does not do further damage to the economy. And we need to do that thank you. You do agree if you were in a business that cpb would put you out of business .
