Your specific term. I just want to say this, that the word institutionalization, for these programs, is not one that weve started talking about as a community, say, in the last six months. Under the leadership of the agac, the attorney generals advisory committee, our first chairman was todd jones who had been a former u. S. Attorney in the late 1990s. He came back he said he is a recidivist came back as u. S. Attorney again starting in 2008. Todd preached from day one in institutionalization. Paul did as well, Loretta Lynch as well. Lanny wanted to respond though. I was just going to give an answer to the judges question, one example that my colleagues can talk about what theyre doing in their districts. But the attorney general was mindful of it, so one of the privileges when you are the head of the Criminal Division is you work with the u. S. Sentencing commission and we did do that. We also are able to work with the attorney general and with your colleagues in the u. S. Attorneys o
Thinking of as ron was asking you to imagine some of the challenges is the fact that this executive action does not do a lot of things. One of the things it doesnt do is provide eligibility for health care, for example, for people who are eligible overall. When you have people who are still going without Health Insurance, that becomes more of a challenge and an issue for your communities. Im wondering what the possible ways of addressing that might be and whether that does, indeed, pose a challenge in terms of resources. Again, i think the answer to that, unfortunately, does not lie in cities. We just dont have the authority or the power to solve the problem. We just have the responsibility to deal with the problem. And thats the tough part. In a city like aurora, weve got three major hospitals weve got another one coming on line shortly i hope its a va hospital, you never know. But well find ways through the nonprofit community, through the Faithbased Community through our own program
Do you do anything about that . Were very concerned as well. The most simple, direct step thats been taken many times before under both parties is a small reallocation of the payroll tax. And we ought to take that step and make sure that those who have earned these benefits get those benefits. Well lets and i dont mean to interrupt you because i dont have a lot of time. So, what youre doing is basically ignoring the fact that its exhausted and transferring the money. Lets be honest. When you say a small allocation, thats transferring the money, yet its a system thats going insolvent, so were transferring the money from one pot to another. Were not solving the problem. Let me finish, please. The combined funds remain solvent until 2033, but we are taking steps on the disability side specifically. We have a number of steps in the budget that will ensure those who are due the benefits get those and a number of pilots and other efforts that will ensure that anyone who can work is able to.
The necessary funds and as we highlighted in our report and also try to do it now. If the prices go to 80 and below we may see that the brazil may be one of the regions which will have the toughest challenges because the investments are basically financed through cash flows. And if they go down they need to go and increase their debts, which should be a major issue for petro bus. Of course there is a major question about Production Growth coming from brazil. Turning the page on sort of the issue of subsidies, an issue that i would give you all and the in general tremendous credit for actually framing a lot of the debate and quantifying a lot of how we talk about Energy Subsidies on both the fossilbased and Renewable Energy side of the equation. You mentioned there was progress being made on the subsidies issue. How can you can you characaterize a little bit the sort of nature of that progress . Because i think one of the ways you had sort of talked about it was sending a signal about s
And we will end with a note of humility and thank the panel.

Though law based on review of that science and based on the independent Science Advisors, experts the epa science , and my judgment as the epa administrator, i am proposing to strengthen the standards to within a range of 65 to 75 parts per billion to try to protect americans health. I am taking comment on setting the level to below 60 parts per billion. I am very mindful of the fact that my Science Advisors have indicated that it should be on the table as well as folks here at epa who have looked at this issue. So 60 is
