Earlier wed been talking about the neutrality network, and Net Neutrality, i thought, was a little catchier. I didnt think it would catch on, but somehow it did. Host the president this week, proofer wu professor wu, spoke about Net Neutrality. Heres what he had to say. Im weighing out a plan to keep the internet free and open, and im urging the fcc to do everything they can to protect Net Neutrality for everyone. They should make it clear whether they use a computer, phone or tablet, internet providers have a legal obligation not to block or edit your limit to a web site. And they cant let any company pay for priority over its competitors. To put these protections in place, im asking the fcc to reclassify Internet Service under title ii of a law known as the telecommunications act. In plain english, im asking them to recognize that for most more thans the internet has become an essential part of everyday communication and everyday life. Host tim wu, whats your reaction to what the pre
More liquid lidquidity they tend to perhaps not get what the other assets needed in the final rule. Weve been aiming at one goal and having a different result. To me it seems like its a problem for two reasons. One, more Community Banks, in particular, especially in a state like arkansas and other states like alabama and tennessee and other states represented here, its a good business. Its relatively safe assets. Two, its also that for the people we serve the consumers of those banks rather than dealing with a small bank in a place like del county arkansas. My time has expired. I want to thank you for your time. Thank you for increasing the number of our candidates we have in washington today. Thank you. I apologize for being in a closed session for two and a half hours involving iran. I hope the key questions i hoped to ask have been asked by others. I came to say i thank you for being here and these distinguished witnesses here. To try to cause them to not be such a threat theres no
Like you were at some of these meetings where some of these things were discussed no, the nsa was there, i just got the tapes. Im sorry. So we dont have a public listing, per se, but in the first phase of power africa, we did very carefully, through a rigorous interagency process, discuss which would be the six focus countries. And the factors that you describe are, indeed, many of the things that we looked at, to try to assess who would be the good partners. And we will go through a similar process as we think about the expansion. One of the ones that i theres plenty to say about all of them, but one of the ones that ill just spend a moment on is the host countrys commitment. Because as some of the other testimony alluded to, if youre trying to have viable electric utilities, if youre trying to solve some of the problems that are private sector, investors have encountered, in trying to do viable deals, youve got to have a commitment to do things differently. So that was a very one of
You know, i think that its my question suggests, at least i view it, is that it is a neithernor process but equity on the low reduce the burden on low and middle class is not just morally responsible but about two thirds of the economy is fueled by Consumer Spending and lower and middle class families have a higher percentage that they need and spend on goods and services. So in that respect i think it makes sense to be looking at how the consequences of reform deal with them not just on corporate taxes as well because i think it will fuel spending that will help private sector profits. Senator packwood, at the end of your testimony, in 1983, 1900 people who earned a million or more paid no federal tax and that fact was due to a myriad of special interest loopholes clogging the arteries of the tax code before 86.
