now 4 trillion on top of that. do the math, bill. 6 to 7 trillion of additional spending. more money that we spent in the revolutionary war, civil war, world war i and ii. this is insane amount of spending. a lot of the private forecasts are finding that the deficit will be a lot larger. you reported on this, bill. they are using phony accounting creating all the new programs saying these will only last for four or five years when you know this, bill. once you create a government program it is almost impo bl to get rid of. the debt impact of this is going to be much larger. one last quick point. if you explain to me, austan, how it is we ll grow this american economy and create jobs by creating the highest tax rate in the world. that s what the wall street journal reported two days ago. higher tax rates in the united states than china, russia, germany, mexico. how does that expand the competitive
united states. not unlike a war. world war ii, world war i or others. so you should use whatever means necessary to prevent a catastrophe like that from pyre algorithm out of control. bill: and you should, you have to know when to stop one could argue. i agree with that. i think the problem with the argument austan is making if you go throughout american history when we have a crisis like the civil war, financial crisis you spend and borrow money. austan, once the crisis is over we don t massively spend money, we start paying down the debt. this is the first president who raised taxes where we re borrowing. you raise taxes to pay for the debt. bill: stand by, you picked the right day to debate, men. thank you, back to sandra for more. sandra: the enthusiasm on the house floor was when the 218th vote was being recorded. house has approved the social

military service is part of a being a sikh. correct. our tenth profit said that, you know what, it s not enough to just be a saint, sit home and pray to god. you have to get out, get involved. you have to fight injustice. they taught us to be saint soldiers. so it s natural that when sikhs come to the united states they d want to continue that tradition. sikhs in the u.s. have served honorably since at least the early 1900s. they served in world war i and ii, korea and vietnam. that s a lot of blood sweat and tears and the turbans and beards were never a problem. they served with the turban and beard. you don t want the hair all willy-nilly. it s tidied uptight and wrapped
