For instance. They might find it illuminating and realize that what they have been saying is factually false. Unfortunately, its a much more nefarious condition than ignorance that afflicts this administration on Climate Change. And it is a condition that cannot be cured with facts. This is about fossil fuel money. The malitty is what prevents the stark warnings in the Climate Science report from being a call to action in congress. Mr. President , at the cop23 gathering, we saw that the rest of the world is not turning a blind eye to Climate Change. The rest of the world is confronting it headon, along with Many American states, major american corporations, and virtually every major american university. Those are all very hopeful signs. And while our president and his administration have bound themselves to the fossil fuel polluters, the American People have not. Rhode islanders and americans everywhere care deeply about getting ahead of this problem, about achieving the goals of the u
This is similar to what existed at a prior time. I suppose that is debatable. If i am understanding what you are saying, i agree with what he has said. Obviously, significant legislation is to be debated ki Medicare Part d includes the Risk Corridor Program and a source of funds for the program. But as i read the Health Care Legislation that is not the case. And based on a lack of appropation it is my understanding the Insurance Company cant make payments to cover the program. This is supported by the current process and i would like to submit this to the record. In december, i asked the secretary of health and Human Services on if it was legal to make the changes to the state and she didnt answer and we are not here to talk about this. But i would hope that the Supreme Court will address this and show there is a lack of law to move forward with aproperation that hasnt occurred. Mr. Green is now recognized for five minutes. Thank you, mr. Chairman. And thank you for having this hearing
On the theme that chairman boos man started with about, Community Banks can make significant difference. Describe how the Community Development Financial Institutions fund is used to help rebuild distressed neighborhoods and Small Businesses and the bond guarranty program ramp up two billion how they might play a constructive role providing access to capital first. Second, senator boozman. About the burden, the Regulatory Burden on smaller banks. I heard from a number of folks from the Financial Community who believe once banks obtain more than 50 billion in assets they suddenly become subject to Regulatory Oversight of the megabanks. While im a strong supporter of steps taken in doddfrank to prevent future crises im wondering if that is quite accurate or is there a step series where you steadily ratchet up regulation into froing size . Would welcome your insight into that point as well. Thank you, senator. Cdfi i think is enormously Effective Program both because of what it does direc
Supporter of igs. When they raise an issue like that, we deal with it. And well visit with the ig about that. During a hearing last month senator grassey asked you about the tax pons and whether it would allow individuals to claim billons of dollars in tax benefits for unaut rised work. Your follow up lotter to him last week that individuals may claim up to three years of refunds on income even if they were working off the books or never paid tax Social Security truly startling. Why are you allowing individuals who cheated by not paying any taxes to now claim a refund that will be financed by hardworking americans who have been paying taxes all along. It has to be cleared that youre eligible for the earned income tax credit only if you had earnings. We have 700,000 undocumented imgrants paying taxes every year. Anyone who now, under the president s program, is provided a Social Security number, would be eligible for filing an amended return. But then they have to demonstrate that they
