Republicans say they have coopt these details from a plant bernsen bowls offered last year. In this letter to the president , Republican Leaders right this is by no means an adequate longterm solution. It will require fundamental entitlement reform. Indeed, though both plant is the exact type of imperfect, but fair one without hurting our economy and creating jobs. Today, the white house has demanded an offer from republicans. They now have one. Back to you. Llri rich edson, and he thinks. The market is taking a breather today. Dupont and 3m are the biggest draggers on the dow. Early stocks rising out of the gate out of some good news out of china over the night. Hitting a seven month high, but then the u. S. Isf number hit at 10 00 a. M. Eastern and a wave of selling. Manufacturing activity contracted in november. They say the factory index came in at 49. 5 in november. Down from almost 52 and october. Keep in mind, any number below 50 means contraction. Above 50 equals expansion. Inv
The only real takeaway is that were nowhere near a deal. Hence why the market nose dived. Dow plummeting 185 points. Nasdaq falling 1. 29 . Why ticktock portfolio . Because its becoming evident that we dont have just one traumatic worry ahead of us, the fiscal cliff itself, but a second one, which is that times not on the side of the compromisers anymore. Theres just too much going on in washington to presume that even likeminded people can wrest the debate from the partisan extremists of either party, those who sink below and not rise above. Even if youre confident that a deal can be reached someday, you had to have your breath taken away by the first question from the press after the president gave an impassioned statement about the need to avert the cliff thats going to raise everybodys taxes and just cause such havoc. Thats because the question was about general petraeus. Not the financial time bomb facing us. Oh, no. Petraeus . Petraeus . Dont you know this is bigger than petraeus
Efficiently and we are in negotiations, we signed tennessee today, we have missouri, virginia, maryland, a number of other states that are in discussions with us about entering these agreements. I yield to mr defazio. On a point made earlier about the governor of california having to use scant state funds to reopen yosemite made by california members, there is no guarantee that any of this money will be paid back, none, zero. I would say and republican rules paying back and individual states would constitute an earmark which means you would have to waive the rules of the house to do it but would try to pass a bill to extract this out of the park service, and i and the stand why governors are being cautious. I thank the gentleman. I might knows that tradition would say you are wrong, they will all be prepared. Would you yield for a second . That was before you adopted this extraordinary earmarked rule which is problematic. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you for your service. I know how
Involved. Propaganda involved. I think it was one of the worst mistakes ever made and we will pay the price for many years. I did a cartoon. When there were 2000 American Service members killed during the iraq war i did a cartoon and wrote the word why with that . And drew it the size. I wrote the names of all the troops that had been killed in iraq in the letters. That generated a lot of controversy and was at a time when people still thought the war was a good thing. I think that was responsible for you getting a Pulitzer Prize that year. I was a very strong opponent of the war from the start. I got a lot of heat for it at the time but felt very strongly about it. I will tell you an interesting story. You might recall the patriot act that was done in secret for several weeks and everyone was wanting to know what was going on behind closed doors. After berating John Ashcroft to come forward publicly he eventually did and gave a presentation and did this in front of the senate committe
Is paying the young men not to work swems paying for other things other than lifting oil. Thanks. Rank, you really have been a trail blazer for over ten years now and in the beginning i know it was very hard and lonely out there among conservatives calling for the importance of reducing oil status as a strategy commodity, why . Well apart from the fact yall told me that was an important thing to do, it kind of dawned mejia that it was an important thing to do. It became so transparently obvious that as has been observed here and elsewhere before, if we prs in this only ce of paying not substantial amounts but through the nose to people who principlely, not exclusively but principlely in terms of setting the price are adversaries of this country, many of them enabling the war weve involved in, i call it the war for the free world, it is the war of our time, is simply insanity. And if we have a choice not to persist in that, that moves to the top of national priorities. And i just want t
