Before returning to the u. S. On saturday. You can watch coverage of his trip this week on the cspan networks. We have to remember two thing, i think. First, were there because we were attacked in new york city, and 3,000 americans were murdered. Thats why we went to afghanistan, to get those people who were killing us. And second, president obama has said theres a limit to this. Within two years, were not doing it anymore. So i agree with you, julie, at some point you have to let them do it. But in our, in our first goal if we get away from the afghans, etc. , and look at what our first goal was, if i had told you or any of the listeners in 2001 that we would not be attacked again in the United States of america for the next decade, none of, you know, none of us would have believed that. Because at that point alqaeda had more of the advantage. Now we really hav alqaeda and the terrorists definitely on the defensive. And so we can at this point get out most of our forces from afghanist
Of care. Many experienced obstacles while trying to establish needed care being treated in the emergency room. The lack of followup coordination and quality and continuity of care, many of these is troubling and unacceptable. The most troubling issue described in the report was the awareness of the ongoing scheduling and challenges that many facilities face. Furthermore they had opportunities to address the systemic culture of inappropriate scheduling practices. They did not act to address the inappropriate practices of manipulation of wait time data. This lack of accountability was engrajed by the decision to waive the fiscal year 2013 annual requirement for the directors to certify compliance with the scheduling directors. Why would that be waived when they knew there were questionable scheduling practices occurring within the medical facilities . The magnitude is demonstrated by the 225 allegations at the Phoenix Health care system in the more than 445 similar allegations at the va
To fail, leaving millions of americans who cant afford to put food on their table or pay rent out in the cold. And the president of the United States couldnt care less. While the senate plays games with covid aid, he is golfing yes, golfing again. Ive said it before that this president isnt even doing the job he is trying so hard to keep. Compare that to the president elect, joe biden, telling americans what we need to hear about the virus that as of tonight has killed more than 338,000 americans. But we need to be honest, the next few weeks and months are going to be very tough, very tough period for our nation, maybe the toughest during this entire pandemic. I know its hard to hear, but its the truth. So, the current president , when he actually daned to talk about the virus thats killing us, something he has avoided for months, just throwing around empty promises and claiming that were rounding the corner like his empty words would fool anybody. It would go away without the vaccine,

Our batting average is. 500 but when we get a hit, its big deal. Having mentioned batting average is h
Say the city of detroit needs to work it out with their creditors, are you then ruling out any federal aid of some sort . People and others ask the question of are we going to solve this problem, it has been made clear by local leaders and that leaders, and by us, the broader issue is one that needs to be resolved between the city and its creditors. We will, of course, as we would with any city in this country, work with that city and have a policy discussions with leaders in the city and make suggestions and offer assistance where we can. I think it is important to that the broader issue say, i have as i have several times already today, when the local leaders say the matter of insolvency is one that has to be resolved between the city and its creditors, we concur with that. We are going to work with detroit, moving forward, to help it move forward, but i do not have a specific idea to present to you today. Pensionederal guarantee youre asking the wrong person.
