whole republic by the way. i could describe the sequester as if i needed to, as horrific. i m ticked off. and why? for lots of reasons. back home in georgia, republican congressman paul brown holds a town hall meeting. is there enough stomach on the republican side to let that go through if we can t get spending cuts? if we don t stop this irresponsible spending that both parties have been doing we are going have a total financial meltdown. we are going to be just like greece. you are hearing from a lot of constituents who say congressman brown hold the course. don t backslide on this despite all of the dire warnings that are coming from the white house and coming from democrats in congress? that s correct. so what do they think of what the president is saying? i think that they have seen that the president has put out a whole lot of false
and i know everyone wants to hear new results every day, but as long as we don t backslide, that s good. that s hopeful. but we have to play this according to her timeline, not ours, and we have to avoid the frustration that so often the family will feel, we the doctors will feel and, of course, all of you will feel. she s going to take her recovery at her own pace, and i m very encouraged by the fact she s done so well. a penetrating injury through the skull, really, the survival let alone recovery is abysmal. and she has no right to look this good, and she does. we re hopeful, but i do want to underscore the seriousness of this injury and the fact that we all have to be extremely patient. as you know, the congresswoman s husband is an active duty navy personnel who s an astronaut, and the resources of the entire military has been made available to us. so earlier on in this time
wrap up. some of the fines or maybe all of the fine money at the faa when they find a problem actually be invested back into the airlines programs to improve these maintenance programs. that s one idea. whether it work whether it will work, i guess we don t know. mary, you go ahead, what do you think will work? i m going to use the big r word, regulation and re-regulation. the airlines are in a situation like they were in the 30s, they re bleeding red ink. they need help on safety. they have lost control on some of the operations. the airlines were regulated because they asked for it in the 30s, i think we re in a situation where we have to seriously consider whether we don t need more federal oversight on these operations to make sure we don t backslide. we want to keep safety where it is, number one priority. mary schiavo and gary stoller from the usa today. it is an interesting, albeit, scary read. thank you both for being here. hopefully we will continue this
