Mr. Speaker, for the past 20 years, as a practicing lawyer and business owner, i have seen firsthand how companies have tried to grow and create more jobs, but they simply cant due to the strangling grip of obamacares employer mandate. Small businesses tell a story of how their current plan was canceled and how they were forced by obamacare into a health plan that covers less with higher copays and higher deductibles, along with unsustainable increases in premiums. Simply stated obamacare is crushing Small Business across this great country. And despite the urgency of the crisis, the president has decided to dig himself in and promised to veto any commonsense reforms such as removing this employer mandate. So if the white house has decided not to collaborate with congress to ease the burdens on families and businesses, then the only path we have is full repeal. Along with that mr. Speaker, we need to move forward and develop Commonsense Health care reform that not only respects familie
Forward. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Say to my good friend steve that i used to sit next on on the House Armed Services committee that i agree with you except im more concerned with todays war than i am with the war after next. Right now is when were having the problems that were having and we had a hearing last week. We had schlesinger, george schultz, madeline albright. And they reminisced over what our abilities were, capabilities at that time, what is expected and even read the charge that president reagan had made at one time in determining what a Defense Budget should be and the reason im saying this is i look and i agree with senator reid who talked about the inadequacy in meeting the threats. I agree that director clapper when he says looking back over my more than half century in intelligence, ive not experienced a time when we have been beset by more crises and threats around the globe than we are right now. That and in light of the fact that we a
The president s executive actions that he took late last year would improve the prospects. What period of time . Over the over the life of the individual . Youre not counting the times that these individuals would be drawing their benefits, mr. Donovan. Youre counting a shortterm window in which they would pay in, creating a shortterm surplus of money or additional flow of money, but youre not counting when they draw out. Its going make the Social Security hold deeper. Its going make it harder for us to save Social Security and medicare and you know it. And youre suggesting to the American People directly directly different than that. Its wrong. Senator, you dont need to take my word for it. The actuary senators time has expired. Along with cbo suggests the action by the president will reduce. Senator whitehouse. Thank you very much chairman. Good to have you here. Could you please tell us a little bit about the part of your budget document that is called federal budget exposure to cli
Youre taking a captain out for two years, particularly if theyre a Company Commander or in another leadership position in trying to provide c2 and leadership for their unit. So its an issue. From the Army National guard, that we remain engaged on what tradoc is, how do we recognize the Customer Base that is participating in those courses. All kidding aside, great question. Its really a question for tradoc. But as chief of the army reserve, ive had this question with both the current command for tradoc and past. Ive had discussion with the chief. So my opinion is, and this actually is two and a half years ago, im having breakfast with the general and he asked me, jeff, what did multicomponents fail . This will get to you. I said, a couple ropes. One i said the culture is the army. And the second is, it was just too hard to integrate. Weve addressed a lot of those unintegrated processes over the last 13 years of fighting. But think about executive education. The best way to learn, and to
Which is Like Air Force one a fully functioning command center, donald trump weing a video message before taking marine one from the south lawn of the white house to the hospital landing pad. I want to thank everybody for the tremendous support going to Walter Reed Hospital. I think i am doing very well but we will make sure things work out, the first lady is doing well. Thank you, appreciate it, i will never forget it. Democrats have been quick to criticize the president , joe biden taking the high road offering condolences to donald trump and first lady milania who tested positive for coronavirus. Sending my prayers for the health and safety of the first lady and the president of the United States after they tested positive for covid19. This is not a matter of politics. It is a reminder to all of us to take this virus seriously. It is not going away automatically. A rare move sending the president Walter Reed Hospital for care and more rare, received experiment of antibody treatment
