Its sitting over in the senate and now its time for the senate to do their job. Good morning, everyone. As we continue to advance an opportunity economy, today i wanted to highlight just one of the things that makes america exceptional. And that is the spirit of generosity that we see all across this country. We see it in homes, in schools in hospitals, in hearts. And yesterday kevin mentioned that we had the chance to visit d. C. Central kitchen right here in the heart of the nations capital. And beyond the tremendous effort to get that food and to distribute it, theyre changing lives and it was so inspiring to meet lives that had been changed, people, because of this effort, had gone to school, had got some training and now were employed. And this is one of the Many Organizations across the country that embody that spirit of generosity. In eastern washington, i visited christ kitchen and we have a campus kitchen at gonzaga, union gospel kitchen and there are so much more. A large num
Capital gain, youre going to end Chuck Grassley up with much higher, generate. And indeed, thats whats happened when president clinton came in. Capital gains went back in and the rates went to 39 . And seems to me that theres a lot more coherence in a bill with a lower rate that treats capital and labor the same. Thank you, senator. Thank you, both, for coming.

And regulatory policy let me share what the results of the policy are. Put it in terms where people can really understand. This is what is the result of good policy. We talk about tort reform. We codified it in our constitution, so that future generations with no the predictability and stability would be there on the tour and regulatory site. Today, there are more than 35,000 licensed physicians. More than there was in 2003. A lot of that is due to tour reform. They knew they would not be sued frivolously. The results is that access to health care if you are a pregnant female along the rio grande you probably had to leave your county to find prenew prenatal care. But no longer. If your child fell off a bicycle and had a closed head injury, you probably had to take the child hundreds of miles to find a neurosurgeon. No longer.
