has enough been allocated to make it happen sooner rather than late center operationally, is the emphasis on national governments or state governments or both and local? if you find a national government is unwilling to be as transparent as we want them to be, do we look to bypass and go to a state? obviously in the u.s. it s the states and local government that carry the heavy burden of providing electricity. is that model being replicated in africa? in terms of the electrification, obviously we have state-of-the-art election the fix indication here and i have visited virtually every electricity plant in my state over the yeares most but not all they obviously have many environmental safeguards, scrubbers to make sure what comes another the chimney does not lead to temperatures as healthwise because of pollution. are those kinds of environmental sustainable best practices being incorporated in what we do? seems to me there s so much on the shelf capability and know ....
thanks for the question. i think that the appropriate way to do this is pretty much what s being done right now actually, and such using airstrikes to limit the freedom of movement and the ability to move oil and smuggle it as easily as isil was able to be for the airstrikes started. meanwhile, buying time for an advice and assist effort and capacity building effort to try to stand up in some cases local security forces or the iraqi army to conduct effective operations is insulated to push isil back from the territory is controlling. i appreciate that, i don t mean to cut you off but from 2003-2011 we spent $24 billion, the united states taxpayer spent $24 billion training 938,000 iraqis how to fight. and to equip them, train them. and who we have 30,000 sunni that are over running the country. as isis gets stronger and stronger, we are back again with this training operation and i just have some misgivings about, you know, what s that saying that the definition of ....
game of governing and politics. phil, you made a point that tweeting wasn t the same. some people don t know what the hell it is now but it has changed dramatically since 2008. i put it even further context in, when i was in the white house, a couple of oust would meet up with leon panetta every night and we would look at the three tvs, abc, cbs, whatever the other one was and, see whether our good stories had risen or whether the bad stories had gone down. you could see wolf kind of standing out in the yard there without even an umbrella sometimes. that was a good day if your good story was up. or down. that was all we dealt with. now the, the onslaught of information, moving information all sorts of sinister reasons has fundamentally changed governing and strategies. just three things that kind of pop out to me. and just in phrases. it s, what i hear you guys saying is that that you re underlying fundamental belief that people are coming to washington to get something ....
says it should do. and that is i think there s an opportunity to push on oversight in that area. to general dempsey now. thank you. and thank you to all of the witnesses. i think it is important as we wrap up this panel to highlight what i at least heard as an awful lot of commonality. i think it is important for the board and important for the public moving forward. not to end up in the proposition that this is also confusing and there are so many different views. i heard a lot of commonality among the witnesses starting with the point that i think you all agree whether you start from the premise that privacy is a human right or whether you start from the premise that it is instrumental right. i think all of you agree that it is an umbrella term that covers many different values, many different interests. and the mosaic theory, even if it isn t accepted by the court, is real. it is real both from privacy perspective and it is real from the governmental perspectiv ....
lo rot. one thing i will say on that, congress wrote this so it would be an educational process. first year you get a tap and next year it s a bigger tap and by the third year it s a pretty big tap. people will be getting their w-2s in january and they re going to work on their taxes and they re realize sometime in february, march or april, but not only do they owe 1% of their income for this year, but they re also going to owe $325 per adult, almost 1,000 per family if it s a large family, and/or 2% of their income above the filing limit for next year. however, the exchanges close their doors on february 15th. so, people will not have a way of avoiding that penalty unless they qualify for a special enrollment period. i think that hhs has the authority to declare a special enrollment period for people who are going to owe the penalty for next year or who owe it for this year and to leave that open a bit longer. and i don t see how that would hurt anybody. i think it w ....
