Lawmakers will be working on a bill to temporarily extend government funding through december 11th. Current funding runs out tonight at midnight eastern. We accept the final passage later today. Senators also starting to consider Donald Trumps Supreme Court nominee, amy barrett. We expect lots of debate on the nomination as well. Now live to the senate floor on cspan2. Almighty god, we praise you with our whole hearts. We refuse to forget how you have led our nation in the past and trust you to guard our future. Lord, encourage our lawmakers to be a part of your solutions and not a part of the problems that confront our land. Give them the courage to carry on, knowing that nothing is too difficult for your sovereign might. May the light of your truth illumine their way, as they find in you a sure guide. Help them to commit their lives to goals that will cause justice to roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. We pray in your sacred name, amen. The president pro te
As warren buffet called it use weapons of mass financial destruction so there instead of just trying to be a conduit from the central bank to main street they are saying that we are going to abuse our role as intermediary to coerce you to. Reward us with huge rewards of cash that well then pocket and not circulate in the economy and this is a problem thats gotten worse and worse we saw it in the 2008 crisis where hank paulson went to washington and got the tarp money and we didnt get it the 1st day he instructed his minions on wall street to crash the stock market the next day they did it again abusing their role as Market Makers to weaponize that role. All and then the next day Congress Gave them the 750000000000 which became now 16 or 17 trillion. And so the ability of bankers who have weaponized intermediary Market Making products to cold worse government and to have the media on their side to bankrupt the economy has led to now a situation of extraordinary duress so what hes saying
Wrong when one family, the owners of walmart own as much wealth as the bottom 40 of the american people. There is something profoundly wrong when millions of workers are working longer hours for lower wages when we have by far the highest rate of childhood poverty in the industrialized world and almost all new wealth and income goes into the hands of the few. Enough is enough. That has got to end. And together, we will end it. This campaign is sending a profound message to the billionaire class. You cant have it all. You cant get huge tax breaks when children in america go hungry. You cannot continue to send our jobs to china when millions of americans are looking for work. You cannot hide your profits in the Cayman Islands and in other tax havens. When there are massive, unmet needs in this country. The greed of the billionaire class has got to end, and we are going to end it for them. But it is not just income and wealth inequality. It is the fact that we have millions of people work
Solution to the Iranian Nuclear issue. One that will provide the necessary assurances on the exclusively peaceful nature of Irans Nuclear program on the one hand, and the list lifting of sanctions on the other. As such, it represents a significant achievement and a tribute to the merits of patient diplomacy from all sides. It is appropriate that this deal was struck in vienna, where all this began 12 years ago when the International Atomic Energy Agency started to look into possible iranian undeclared nuclear activities. Since then, there have been many months and years of at times difficult negotiations. A key milestone in that process was the interim geneva agreement in 2013, the smooth implementation of which provided necessary time and space for the conflict negotiation process which followed. This resulted in the parameters being set for the final deal. The format was especially effective. We feel that the European Union in particular was able to play a crucial or facilitation rol
