I am a recovering politician, which is not a 12 step program, but i am absolutely delighted that the Wilson Center is hosting this event. I am looking for John Milton Cooper. Where is he . What are you doing in the back . For anyone who has not heard of John Milton Cooper, shame on you. He wrote an awardwinning biography of Woodrow Wilson, and he has been enormously hopeful to us over the years, appearing many times, but also helping us unpack some of the difficult issues around Woodrow Wilson. The subject of todays conversation. So, in 1978, when the Wilson Center was 10 years old, we were charged by congress with creating a Hubert Humphrey fellowship in social and political thought. Good idea. The idea was that a quote, distinguished scholar, statesman, or cultural figure uote, would deliver a lecture honoring humphreys legacy, which makes sense since he was a founding father of this place, as well as Vice President , senator, and dedicated public servant. And at times like this, whe

The presiding officer duly noted. Mr. Lankford mr. President , i want to be able to address this body to talk about an issue that we dont talk about enough, the deficit. Its an issue for whatever reason weve stopped talking about in washington, d. C. Were talking about tax policy, as we should. Were talking about Disaster Relief areas, which we should. Talking about health policies, which we should. A lot of other things. We have stopped talking about debt and deficit. I think thats a mistake for us. See, as the trend has moved, since 2011, at a high point when the deficit spending that year was 1. 3 trillion in overspending in a single year. Since that point, deficits have gone down a little bit each year until 2015. In 2016, our deficit number, thats a single year overspending started going back up. It went up in 2016. It went up again in 2017. Turning the wrong direction. As you will recall and as many people in this body would recall, deficits were a major topic for us starting in

First to simplify the Corporate Tax code with lower priorities statutory owth and rates and fewer loopholes. And second, to reform the taxation of foreign profits so we dont disadvantage american businesses and workers. Many democrats would work with the majority to achieve these progrowth tax reforms. Thats how it worked so well in 1986 under president reagan a
And the investigation went on too long. Its now been confirmed that lord bramall and lord brittans widow have received compensation from the met. Reports suggest as much as £100,000. The d day veteran, speaking last year, questioned the way detectives handled the inquiry. Ive never complained about being investigated. It was only the heavy handed and the unintelligent way that they went about it. I mean, i think they could have said, well look,. If theyd taken any trouble to put their effort onto questioning the so called victim, i think they would have found that it was very unlikely. Its thought former mp harvey proctor, also cleared of any wrongdoing, has yet to agree a settlement. The true cost of the failed 0peration midland is still being reckoned. Angus crawford, bbc news.
