It ranks in the top 200 of Global Companies by revenue, according to the fortune global 500 list. It would be a great loss to our country to see it incorporated offshore. Still, its difficult to blame them for this decision. According to sources, a desire to escape the high u. S. Corporate tax is part of the motivation for this merger. This type of transaction where a u. S. Corporation merges with a foreign entity and incorporates elsewhere to escape the u. S. Tax net is sometimes referred to as an inversion. Inversions are a growing problem here in the United States. Indeed, Large Companies are leaving our country at an alarming rate. If you count the number of american corporations in the worldwide list of fortune 500 companies, youll see that the number has declined dramatically over the past decade, which is very unfortunate.

First, i thinkshould be clear that we believe the systems are safe. One of the safest mode of travel we have available to us in this day and age. Real also believe very strongly there are steps that need to be taken in order to address the safety, not just of the general public, but the employees who work for these diseases. There is no question that when youre dealing with an aging infrastructure and the needs that are required to maintain that infrastructure, employees will be working in Hazardous Conditions that can make for an unsafe situation, but there are steps that the Transit Agency has taken.

But the reality is, as long as it will take to fix this problem will require more workers to work environments where it could be a more dangerous situation that if it were invested in good repair. Well, thank you for
Leadership and the command master sargeants of the various units that are based at fort campbell, kentucky. We found that already the ability to train, the ability to retain, the ability to act with the kind of proficiency which is necessary in todays world is already being seriously degraded. So i ask my colleagues in working with senator sessions and this will be a sessions amendment to consider at least this amendment to the National Defense authorization act so that we can at least soften the blow to some degree of sequestration. Senator Lamar Alexander and i were taken by the patriotism and the hard work and the quality of the men and women who are serving our nation in the United States army at fort campbell, kentucky. Senator alexander and i were both deeply alarmed at the fact that these people are literally having to budget and operate on a monthtomonth basis. They are not able to sustain the level of readiness and capability this nation needs at this period of time so i urge
I am stephanie ruhle. I am Erik Schatzker down the and why the new york stock ofhange, speaking to the ceo hilton hotels, once again public, and aramark, all coming up. Into a markett the alwaysive outspoken democratic senator, Elizabeth Warren of massachusetts. She sits on the Banking Committee and is a critic of the big banks. Thank you for joining us. You were pushing for a strict volker rule. Did the final version go far enough . So many bankers seem to be breathing a sigh of relief. Ani think the volker rule is important step in the right direction and i am really delighted to see they have gotten something out, and a big part of this will be what happens in terms of reinforcement, and also what happens in terms of litigation over the next year. How strong will the volker rule be when it emerges on the other side . That means we have to be vigilant as we go forward with it. In terms of enforcement and leadership, do you believe you and others in washington, d. C. , to do a better
