Repeated budget cuts have tested blms ability to keep up with industry demand for new permits and to enforce safety and environmental standards. Thats why the president s budget calls on congress to support a strong on shore inspection program, partly funded through fees. This proposal takes a page from the offshore Energy Industry where industry pays fees for permits and inspections. Which means we can keep pace with the work load, and we dont have to divert funds from other programs to support permitting, leasing or inspection activities. Coupled with the transition to a new automated permitting system, which is under way, that eliminates paper applications, these Budget Resources will strengthen the capacity to do its job well. Thats a perfect example in the budget where Congress Needs to move beyond mindless austerity, brought about by sequestration and i can tell you, my first year in this job was 2013. I thought i left the private sector for this . Crazy budget. But this enables
Colleague to know im very supportive of this. I think the point of this is we see Economic Development through the empowerment of women. We saw Great Strides being made. We want to make sure they get a fair access to the resource being spent on economic activity. Thank you for having this vote. Any further comment . Well do this by voice. All those in favor will say aye. Aye. All those opposed will say no. The ayes have it and the amendment is adopted. There are some unfortunate exceptions. If my view we have misguided laws limiting americans access to the sugar market. The worst is the tariff rate quota. Because of these quotas u. S. Sugar prices are consistently higher, often much higher than the world average. Just yesterday, as it happens sugar trading in the world market was trading at about 13 cents per pound. Sugar trading domestically in the u. S. Market traded at 25 cents per pound, almost two times the worlds price. These higher sugar prices are hurting our country. The Ameri
Surprise on health care. Health care is working along very well. We could have a big surprise, with a Great Health Care package. So now theyre happy. Whats the big surprise . A great, great surprise. Hallie jackson joins us from the white house and David Nakamura from the Washington Post is with us. What is he talking about . Reporter optimism, when it heads to health care i guess the big surprise is a surprise to us too. Were working ofinding out more on what that means. But i will tell you that the president has despite what you called political autopsy to a bill that as senator republicans say its not dead yet, just delayed, the president wants to be moving forward here. The real question i think, nicolle, so what hes doing to do about it . Who he is bringing on board on the democrat inside of the aisle, right . Because theres an increasingly loud conversation coming from capitol hill about working with democrats potentially that that may be the only way that republicans can get thi
Impeaching kavanaugh . This impeachment thing, i am focused on the here and now. You wont rule out impeachment. I am much more focused on what we need to do which is get control. Greg why not just real the New York Times claiming kavanaugh on gender traders. White women benefit from patriarchy by trading on their whiteness to monopolize resources for mutual gain. Who talks like that has a job . The left devours its own as rage bots. Yet as they sharpen the pitchforks, democrats havent disowned avenatti who use women as steppingstones. It seems we are at an impasse which is french for nowhere good. One party says he much believe all allegations and the other says you must presume innocence. On one side are these women and on the other side this game. What is the solution . It is simple. If democrats prefer belief over due process, put a ring on edge. From here and democrats should believe any allegation against themselves because 50 of believing is better than none. No process, just pun
