Rules. That is when i explain it in a goes through rep. Brooks you have no judgment a you cannot explain it to the committee . Admin mccarthy there is no specific definition i can offer you. A judgment that will be well documented by the science. Rep. Brooks how long has the epa been working on that . Admin mccarthy since we created the Clean Air Act. Rep. Brooks what year . Admin mccarthy 1990 . Rep. Brooks decades later you still do not have the definition. Admin mccarthy it is not apply to that away. Chairman smith thank you. The gentleman from virginia. Rep. Beyer thank you for being so patient and gracious this morning despite rather combative nature of the questioning. Our chair, my good friend and distinguished chair claims the epa has severely damage our economy. How do you reconcile that with 64 straight months of job growth and 12. 8 million private sector jobs and tripling of the stock market. If there is not perhaps better to look at the infrastructure bills we failed to pa
From the region. That is not what i am hearing from the people. We have seen isis encroach in india as well. Indian officials have been monitoring that carefully trying to garner recruitment and establish some kind of presence there. I think for lawmakers as well as those in the Academic Field the focus is right now on iraq and syria, and north africa, but we should not forget south asia is going to play an enormous role, and it also plays an enormous role in the eschatology, because it looks at the Islamic State the belief. If you look at the hadid, and those are the writings of mohammed, and all one of the things he focuses are the ones on the end times. That is his main focus. Part of the final batter is a per cursor precursor thatll that takes place in south asia. We are not going to get the final battle until the precursor battle actually happens. However that happens, it is definitely in baghdadis plants, and something i think should not be a ignored and an area we should Pay Att
Far more than they realize. Sadly, frequently, much more than they ever get a chance to fulfill. And so if everyone in the world has godgiven gifts and everyone in the world has potential, why is it that this country is so special . Why is it that more things have been more possible for more people for more places here than anywhere else in the face of the earth . I think it is because our founders knew what my mother taught me. Our founders knew that everybody has godgiven gifts. Our founders knew that everyone has potential, and so they founded a nation on what was quite a radical idea at the time. It is a visionary idea still and the idea was that here, you have a right to fulfillpotential. That is what they meant when they said life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You have the right to fulfill your potential in this nation, they said, and they said, that right and this was the radical pie part, that right comes from god and should not be taken away by manner government.

I predict that about 20 of people will take advantage of that. If that is true, then that would automatically stabilize the system which now gives us time to begin to gradually increase the age of retirement. Remembering, when we put that system into place, the average age of death with 63. Now, we are looking at 80. We have not made any adjustments. It is unfair to make adjustments, i believe, to people who are 55 years or older because they dont have enough time to do it needs to be done. Or people who are younger than that, i think there is time. It is a gradual adjustment. Many of the people i have talked to have said we dont have to do anything radical like they did in italy. The move to their age up tremendously and cut the benefits by 40 in order to get back in line. The longer we wait, the more drastic the need will be to do it. We do it very gradually over the course of about 25 or 30 years and we can sustain the system. Not only that, but remember, once we have intelligent pe
