Make the simple but necessary change. As i said at the end of the 2017 legislative session, unemployment tax relief is job one for 2018. I hope you agree. [applause] a 2017 tax debate also led to the Idaho Supreme Court ruling last summer that we must change the way we do the peoples business to ensure public transparency and protect the integrity of our political process.

Down, yields go up, conversely, yields go down, prices go up, not to the degree. Not helping stocks to the degree you would think, at a time paul ryan trying to assure people theyre on top of the debt, on top of eventually a daca deal that should make nancy pelosi happy. A twoyear budget arrangement senate came up with that should be welcomed by all. Were in a bizarre kind of world, whether that passes or not, it could be daming to investors, if it were to fall through, analogous to the failure of tarp funding back in fall of 2008, that produced 777 point falloff in the dow, even though both sides regrouped, you would still see in the approval of a followup tarp deal, the dow fall another 6,000 points . We dont know whether youre damned if you do, damned if you dont on budget deal, whether you fall off if approved here or not but a catalyst could be or excuse could be failure to reach such an treatment, there are several house conservatives several we talk to next document hours are le

I just wonder, do you like this . I enjoy skiing. Thank you very much. And senator lee made some brief comments. This is what we do. But poor drew, very few people actually want to talk to him. 64 million raised over three years. Thank you so much. And none of the money has gone to any veterans. Dont turn your camera on me, okay . If you have any other questions, send them to her email. When our camera found James Reynolds jr. , he gave us a single finger salute. Thank you very much. I have to ask you about the money, though. That doesnt answer any of the questions about the money that theyre thats it . Do you notice a pattern . One california official tried running into the ladies room. See what happened. Do you know a convicted felon that runs one of those clinics . Despite the facts that there have been complaints registered about him . And he broke the v. A. Scandal wide open. Thats the v. A. s director, sharon hillman. Who on monday, literally sped from our cameras. We all know ho
