we have achieved and even barometers, target employees we were speaking about social teachers, teachers at school, medium and junior medical staff. doctors, etc.. indexed themave twice. of february, by 6.5 percent and since april by 1.7%. we have paid a lot of attention this year to increasing the combat capacity of our armed forces. i would not name all the things here. inbe the social barometer 2014. military servicemen of the minister of defense have received permanent housing. receivedrvicemen have their corporate housing. that is 100% of our annual plans. these have been some figures. now words about the currency situation. i believe all of us understand the main question of today, thes of interest state of economies, national currency. and i will try to describe the situation to you. in for my opinion, on how to develop it. after that, i believe the press conference will be finished. of course, this situation has been provoked by external factors. but we believe that
benefits. at issue in keystone is not american oil. it is canadian oil. hat is drawn out of tar sand in canada. hat oil currently is being shifted out through rail or trucks and it would save and the il companies canadian oil industry an enormous amount of money if they could simply pipe it all the way through the united states down to the gulf. nce that oil gets to the gulf, it is then entering into the world market and it would be the world.ound i won t say no. ere is very little impact, nominal impact on u.s. gas prices, what the average american consumer cares about, by having this pipeline come through. sometimes the way this gets sold is, let s get this oil and it s going to come here and the implication is that it s going to lower gas prices here in the united states. it s not. there s a global oil market. it s very good for canadian oil companies and it s good for the canadian oil industry but it is not going to be a huge benefit to the u.s. consumers. it s not ev
it s just that life has changed a lot. i don t think anybody likes war. we are theke aggressors and we are doing it when you see these people the heading our people or killing innocent people because they have a different belief in religion or something. pretty tough. cracks i m told our time with you is running out. we haven t even gotten to education. what are you most proud of? proud. passedble to get a bill early on my second term that said we were going to build a big landfill. i was able to get a bill passed to make that go away. i was able to work on wilderness legislation. . we did good things on education. ,e had reauthorization s done things that had not been done for a long time. in the committee, a lot of democrats have thanked me for the job that i did. i think of henry hyde. i used to just love this. wanting to change the world. i hope that i can just get out of town with a little dignity. it was chairman of the judiciary committee. i had the opportunity to go
courts and the states, and i think congress has been disabled by the fact that the senate was democratic. it s still going to be somewhat disabled because it s a change is going to require the president s signature. but we have these other two backstops and i think whatever congress may do if it can do anything effective, the administration first needs to need its help and a sequence of state decisions or court decisions could be the ant seedent to that. part of this is because the legislative process wasn t followed. this is the biggest change frankly in entitlements since the creation of medicare and social security. and yet the senate, world s most deliberative body, they did have some votes on it in the finance committee, but they didn t have votes on it in the senate. never had a vote, up and down vote, on the bill, on medical device tax, on individual mandate, on employer mandate, you can keep your health care plan if you like it, grandfathering in all the health
