Identifying areas for improvement, identifying areas for managerial improvement. The problem is that those improvements rarely get made. And to the extent that congressional action is necessary to make some of these changes, theres so much else to do. Theres very little glory in eliminating a program especially if people face layoffs. Theres even less glory in that. So to some extent its not that we dont know where to cut that we dont know which programs work and which ones dont. We do have some Good Government reports that help guide those decisions, but its that from recognizing the problem the next step is missing. Where is the action to actually get rid of some of these programs . I think thats exactly right. It comes in the action. When you were talking what popped in my mind was Ronald Reagans famous quote about politics and Foreign Relations which is trust but verify. And that seems to work for a lot of issues we deal with in our life. But when it comes to government spending, y
Most innovative country in the world, most creative, work labor law that is unique in the developed world, a big place full of chances to expand, the history of productivity, all this stuff has been cast aside temporarily. We are moping around like we are france, with all due respect. [applause] the french have a lot of great things going on. I dont want to be disrespectful. They have a lot of interesting things, but we are not france for crying out loud. We are not seizing the moment. Were not aspiring to be young and dynamic again. If we fix a few big substantive things, we could be american again. So which things . You want them in order of importance . Your choice. I will give you five. I would say in Energy Policy based on American Innovation and north american resources, all in. We should be Energy Secure with mexico, canada, and the United States within five years. If we aspire to that, we can do it. A regulatory system based on a 21st century economy, not they 19th or 20th cent
Philosophically, but i trend back toward the chairman here, there are a lot of practical issues that could turn this into a free fire zone which is not beneficial to anyone. When you are shooting, they may not shoot back to you. That is the problem. And i am not necessarily opposed to offense the government has a very good offensive capability. We have not decided as a country how to use it or has a government policy body, no one has decided to use it, so we do not. The problem you are asking a corporation where you will get these mixed capabilities, and i cannot tell you how many cios i have met who say this is not a problem. You are going to have somebody come in and say i can figure this out. I have never seen such confidence as i have people in cyberspace. Somebody is going to misfire and it will not be that particular company that pays the price. It will be a swath of people who pay the price. A foreign nation state like iran or russia or china or north korea will not say it is fr
Students 33 . 21 , federal supplemental Educational Opportunity grants. The average cost of tuition that is 3200 and 60. Enter the cost for a Fouryear College, averaging about 8,890. Craig is up next, a graduate of Community College from north carolina. Gray, good morning. Caller good morning. Thank you for cspan. Thank you for all the hard work that all the Staff Members do. Host appreciate that, craig. What is your question . Ccaller , i dont have a question per se, but im against this free Community College idea. When they say i believe they said 600 million pb. It will be another dialogue. We are in serious, serious death right now. And it is hard for anybody it simply cant go on. We cannot continue to justify expenditures for just feel good ideas. Host and greg, that number, that is an estimated 60 billion the cost of this over 10 years. Mr. Bumphus. Guest that is correct. Certainly, that is a sizable amount, but i believe that would be split between the government and our states.
Im oliver north. Welcome aboard the ss jeremiah. Now in San Francisco harbor. The obrian is the only its the only unaltered operational survivor of the normandy invasion. They were up against the formidable enemy. Tonight youll meet one of those who stopped to send this ship and others like her to the bottom. This is the story of Unsung Heroes who served in every theater from the invasion on north africa to the landings on dday. Youll see tonight they paid a price in blood to be called veterans. Over 700 merchant ships were sunk and 1 of every 16 merchant mariners were killed. Thats a higher casualty ratio than any of our armed services. This is the story of the United States merchant marine. 1939 america was still recovering from the Great Depression and money was hard to come back.
