Page 28 - Functioning Government News Today

Radical tea party republicans. hopefully the public really has sent a message to them that they want to see a functioning government. they want to see people getting back to work. they want to see jobs created in our country. they want to see us get back to what we call regular order. >> congresswoman, just said the magic word, "jobs." which has been essentially absent, particularly during this shutdown period. joy, i want you to talk to me about what the vision for a budget is, and if theres an...

>> yeah, chris, these are manufactured crises actually. theyre manufactured by the radical tea party republicans. hopefully the public really has sent a message to them that they want to see a functioning government. they want to see people getting back to work. they want to see jobs created in our country. they want to see us get back to what we call regular order. >> congresswoman, just said the magic word, "jobs." which has been essentially absent, particularly during this shutdown period. jo...

You dont pick and choose the parts of government you like. of government you like. government is supposed to function on behalf of the people. the people of the united states need a functioning government. and members of congress shouldnt say, well, today i like it, but tomorrow i might not. thats not how government works. its a gimmick and its one that should be soundly disagreed with. >> were back. that was senator kirsten gillibrand in new york, last week chastising republicans for last week ...

Government in place. those negotiations have been ongoing but no clear consensus as to who should become the interim prime minister. yesterday, there was some news that the former head of the iaea, dr. mohammed elbaradei was expected to become the interim prime minister but those negotiations were stalled. so still without a functioning government as the security situation deteriorates. many people fear the violence is only going to repeat itself in the coming days. >> i can tell you this, the o...

>> i think so very much. in fact, i think what were dealing with is not even necessarily a coup, because a coup would be against a functioning government. this is a reaction to the dissolution of effective government in egypt. but we should be careful not to cast our lot with one side or another too early. we dont know what the outcome here will be. there might be massive violence, and perhaps the religious organizations parties will come to power. well have to deal with them, too. in other word...

Well-funded functioning government. i never was as a member of congress one of the curators government, lower taxes, no tax cut would have helped us with this or will help us recover. this is very expensive. at a time like this, no one thinks about saving pennies. >> bill: unbelievable. now, we called barney frank who is no longer in congress. wanted him to come on the program but he said no and he was smart to say no because i would have yelled at him a lot more than i yelled at him last time f...

Still very much in question. there remains 16,000 people missing as we were saying. the political society itself remains extremely fractured. there is no trust among the major political parties. there is really not a functioning government. life there for ordinary people is a daily struggle. more than 60 people were killed today alone. there is still a very present security threat or a security vacuum, if you will. so you cant say definitively that iraq from the perspective of ordinary iraqis is...

so they wasted time writing something and then voting on something that absolutely nobody ever wanted. so what are we, the people supposed to say? hey, at least they agree on something like not having a functioning government? no, no, this was a fail. its fails like this that send the americans hurtling closer extinction. >> we cling to hope about a very special lunch that happened today where something may have gotten done to help our country avoid it. the president bought hoagies for...

"outfront" tonight. give me a break. the senate today voted 99-0 to shut down a budget bill. it was not an honest effort. both sides pointing fingers about what was really in the budget. so they wasted time writing something and then voting on something that absolutely nobody ever wanted. so what are we the people supposed to say? hey, at least they agree on something like not having a functioning government? no, no. this was a fail. and it fails like this that sends the american lemmi...

Government in the white house, in the control of the senate and the house before we can actually move forward on something is outrageous and i dont think the american people appreciate how dangerous a situation that we are in as a country because we can no longer operate as a functioning government. >> we have a chart, which we might be able to get up on the big board, of what happened in the government. you can see that we started off with a very rare thing in the senate and now its an every da...
