Those businesses create two thirds of the new jobs. They employ half the people and we are crushing them. That is not hyperbole. For the first time in u. S. History, we are destroying new businesses. We are tangling peoples lives up in webs of dependence. We encourage people to settle in. We ignore their godgiven gifts. We have to cut this government down to size and hold it accountable. That means we have got to know where our money is being spent. There have to be consequences for nonperformance. Veterans die waiting for health care, heads better roll in president fiorina will not replace a single one. N last but certainly not least. We must restore American Leadership in the world. It is a dangerous and tragic waste when america is not on day one, i will make two phone calls. Ministery to the prime of israel that the United States of america will always stand with the state of israel. The second phone call will be to the Supreme Leader of iran. He might not take my phone call. He wi
The hearing of the special committee on aging will come to order. Decades ago the warning caveat emptor, buyer beware, was the best advice one could give to a consumer seeking to borrow money. Well, that advice is still valid today. There are laws that seek to insure that consumers understand the obligations that they are taking on and that lenders have to play by the rules. Since the passage of the federal truth in lending act in 1968 and similar state laws around the nation, credit providers have been required to disclose key terms of Consumer Credit agreements up front in easytounderstand language. If you want to know what Interest Rate youll pay on a new credit card, youll find it in big, bold letters right there on the front of your application. Likewise, Interest Rates on car loans, personal loans, mortgages and myriad other Consumer Loan products are clearly and conspicuously displayed. But as we will learn today, that is not true for socalled pension advances. Pension advances
Done. If i could just maybe correct a couple facts here. First of all, none of our nato allies, not all of them are involved in the coalition, but none are opposed to it. They are all supportive of our mission against the Islamic State. The United Nations is not opposed. In fact, this intervention is happening at invitation of the government of iraq under international law. In terms of refugees, canadas response has been generous and responsible. Weve admitted so far 15 of all the world refugees from the region. In terms of our response to this recent crisis, even before it was in the headlines, i announced our intention to accept additional refugees. I have since announced a number of changes to our system to expedite that number, and were doing so while at the same time making sure that we choose the refugees, that we choose those who are genuine refugees, the most vulnerable people, and also maintain all standards of security and other screening. This is a generous and responsible a
Spend those fees on and if you use fees to expand dramatically the number of refugees from syria or other places in the middle east, that does tend to drain the money, does it not, ms. Strike, that you would otherwise have for other needs of your agency . Yes, sir. In order to reprioritize fee funding to the Refugee Funding Program in fy 16 that will come out of other uscis priorities. Follow up on this question, mr. Bartlett, if we go to 100,000, are you aware of how many of those over the 75,000 this year, thats 25,000 more, how many of those would be coming from the syrian from syria and or the region . We dont have a projection. What it would look like when we bring 100,000 in. What i can tell you is that we traditionally respond to the humanitarian crisis of the time. And so in the last five years, we have resettled a number of burmese, bhutanese, somalis, iraqis, some of those who worked for us, now increasingly syrians and Congress Goal lease and we have had a very big problem b
Of them i know. They are fighting isis on the ground, as we speak. Years. Own him 15 now hes going to the chinese. Asked the egyptians to share the intelligence and arm them for three years. We have alleys that are willing unless ur part but not they see leadership and support. Heres another set of crises that have to be dealt with. Its a slow, creeping thing, but crisis. This president has rolled out a orders and utive egulations that are crushing, whether its the epa that are destroying the oil industry or the 400plus pages of regulation that the fcc rolled out over the internet. Stuff, the National Regulations board, on a partisan vote, changed the rules for franchisees. They wanted unions to unionize. Political ut a agenda. A whole set of things are going be rolled back. Its always a leaders job, however, to understand how to balance the short with the longterm. You know, someone many years ago asked me to define leadership. The highest said calling of leadership is to others. Pote
