Chapter 11 first 18, dodd said he would destroy anybody who destroys the earth. Do you hear christians talking about that . Host one more phone call on this. Independent from indiana. Caller good mine. There is really no choice deal here. We have a budget problem. A deficit problem. We have severe spending problems. Less and less and less taxes coming in. Consequently, we are going to be facing the sorts of issues on all sorts of these projects. Such as the epa, family planning, all of these things. These things are going to start coming at us and we are not going to have the money to pay for them is what is going on. We can kick and scream about the right and wrong, but the reality is these things may not get totally defund it, but i bet you they all get cut back. Lawmakers dont have much choice. Host that is dan in things montana. An independent color. We will leave it there. Up next, switching topics. Medicare. Last month marked the 50th anniversary. We will talk about two leaders w
States have a good offensive policy. I think it was admiral rogers not that long ago within the last few months said just as much as that, that we dont have a good cyber offensive policy. We talked about it ed a inad infinitum in classified settings for the entire 10 years i was on the intelligence community. We could never get consensus to move to the next place what that cyber offensive is. As a personal note i saw the administration say they will make china pay for the consequence of the opm hack. I cant wait. I cannot wait to see what the heck that thing is. Candidly, im not too excited about whats going to be.

That will be a whole other discussion. What changes would you make . First i think we need to establish that something is happening. As producing much better results. Were not sure what that s there is per capita spending and medicare has essentially been flat or going up about the rate of the gdp. Its unprecedented in the history of medicare.

But something good has been going on. I also have
Their childrens student tuition which is coming up very soon. We need to fix this. Thats why i joined with mr. Moran and others in our area and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to bring Bipartisan Legislation to the floor last saturday to ensure that all federal employees, whether exempt or furloughed by no fault of their own, are paid once the shutdown end. Im pleased the bill passed the house 4070. That both a nate republican and democrat senator had this bill on hold. I dont understand, madam speaker, the senates ways of going about this but i think if any senator has a hold they ought to feel stongly enough that they ought to do it publicly so we know who they are. But i understand theres both a republican and a democrat. I ask them on behalf of the people having a difficult time to lift that hold.
