I can add on both of those, just take that as another example and what is uncertainty. That matters a lot. You can get different results. You need to have that on the bigger issue of uncertainty and ambiguity, one of the things we havent talked about at all is what the view of the nation should be regarding uncertainty. When you move away from the standard and expected framework or even within that we have to have the government be riskaverse. Once you move into areas where there is not ambiguity and this shows up in Climate Change policy, we have to take a 0 3pvstand. My Technical Work goes in analysis of social policy. You have to take a stance of what the right answer is. Thats as well. Im interested in that point. There may be circumstances where the government is in the National Interest to respond to uncertainty by taking action now. I have a paper that came up with the journal on the effect of infrastructure. The big uncertainty is whats the effect of government spending. I cran
Of the house, who contacted us and say why is the president pro tem in the order of succession but not the majority leader . That is the functional equivalent. The speaker of the house is written into the constitution, to president pro tem is as well. No mention of a majority or minority leader. The constitution did not anticipate political parties. They thought it was going to happen, but they did not want to encourage political parties. We had no majority leader in the history of the senate from 1839 1789 to 1914. For most of the history of the senate, we did not have a majority leader. There were chairmen of committees who would take care of things on the floor, and the chairman of Party Conferences that would open up and close things the way they do today. But nobody sitting down there in the Front Row Center seat trying to organize what happened on the floor on a daily basis. That changed in 1913, when Woodrow Wilson was elected president. He was the former president of princeton
Time as well. I want to begin as the freshman republican president. You you expect this funding issue to be a contentious debate . Do you foresee any possibility that dhs funding could be forestalled. I think it will be a contentious debate. I think what the president did was poorly designed. The republicans in both the house and the senate will react to it. Whether it in setup in some sort of Agency Shutdown down as opposed to government shutdown, i help not. I hope we can work through the issue and make sure we can be find defund the parts of the executive order that the present has issued. And move on, and make sure the other functions of the government are funded, the transition as smooth. The issue really is immigration. He expect both sides to come together on an immigration bill that would resend the executive order . That would be my hope. Im not sure that that will happen in the next couple of mmonths. It is my hope that congress will pass a Guest Worker Program beef , up Bord
That is an indication of how we must continue to nurture people in this work, to not only make it adequate and informative, but they can help to relieve you in your duties when it is time. Over the last few months and weeks we have all had the opportunity to be front row and center to some of the nations most serious issues that happen not that far from here in baltimore. Where young people continue to fight or their lives and make sure that young people have an adequate seat at the table where they can provide authentic engagement that goes just beyond the town hall setting or the focus group setting. This is about not just the conversation but in the planning implementation and the analyzing afterward. We want young people to be the leaders, not just for the future but for now. I will jump right in and have each of our panelists tell us why they got engaged in this work. Most get engaged in this work because of something traumatic in their lives but i think it is really important for
Not including the workshop from yesterday. When i think about why the work is so important and who are the people we are serving, these are the young people to keep in mind. Barely one most them they are the ones most impacted by the issue. All of the bios are in the folder and i encourage you to read them. They are doing amazing and dope work at young ages. Many of them cannot vote yet but they are doing the work. I would encourage everyone to use the hashtag. The young people throughout the forefront of the issue and they are leading the charge across the nation. I am super excited to be here today. I havent had the opportunity to join over the last two days but from the tweets and instagram pictures that i saw it was not only informative but an opportunity for all to share best practices and think about how we move Forward Together as a nation and prevent young people are losing their lives too early. This will be my fourth time attending the conference. I joined the philadelphia de
