we started this. people come up to me on the street and say dave there are all sorts of things and believe me they really do. one thing i hear a lot is parents saying a service thank you for this is done for my child. i want this to become a rite of passage for teenagers in our country. i can tell you this, the next conservative government will guarantee a place in national governor service for every teenager in our country. [applause] that rule if you put in you should get out more than anyone it should apply to those who want dignity and security in retirement. for years it didn t. there were i think three great wrongs. wrong number one, the credit that was means tested. the more you save the less you got. wrong number two, compulsory annuities. it meant you couldn t spend your own money as you wish. wrong number three when people passed away the pension they saved was taxed at 55% before one to their family. three roles and we are putting each one s right. the means test i
that should be put in front of american citizens host: ok. guest: there is no question we have limited resources. in many of these count these challenges, in dealing with isil or frankly russian aggression in eastern europe, the question is what is the cost of not acting? often, by sitting back and not acting, we encourage further aggression. both our allies and enemies are watching. there are times, of course, out of moral authority and doing what is right, america steps i steps up. but the on that, it is important to understand the world has never been smaller. washington journal airs live every morning. we re going live to the house now for votes on measures debated earlier. erk will report the resolution. the clerk: house resolution 99, resolved, that the house has heard with profound sorrow of the death of the representative nunnelee a representative from the state of mississippi, resolved that the clerk communicate these resolutions to the senate and transmit
conversation than giving any formal remarks. let me just provide a little bit of an introduction. obviously, over the last couple of months, most of the oxygen in this town has been consumed with two things: one, the government shutdown and the possibility of default that was ultimately resolved; and the second has been the rollout of the affordable care act and the fact that my website s not working the way it s supposed to. and it s entirely legitimate that those have been issues of great concern. the impact of the shutdown and the threat of default, i think, not only did some significant damage to the economy at a time when we didn t need self- inflicted wounds, but it also spoke to some of the larger problems we ve seen here in washington and the sense of dysfunction and the seeming incapacity of both parties in congress to work together to advance an agenda that s going to help us grow. with respect to the affordable care act, i think people are legitimately concerned be
presidentick with the this morning and begin with his comments yesterday as the wall street ceo council or he talked about how washington gridlock does not necessarily reflect divisions in our country. republicans as well. send us a tweet. or post on facebook. you can also e-mail us. let me show you the president in his own words yesterday. he was interviewed by a columnist for the paper. here is what he had to say about washington gridlock. when you go to other countries, the political divisions are so much more stark and wider. america, the difference between democrats and republicans, we are fighting inside the 40 yard line. you have fooled most people on that in the past couple of months i would say. betweenld distinguish is rhetoric and tax experts differences. people calles me a socialist sometime, but you have to meet a real socialist to have a real sense of what it is. i am talking about lowering the corporate tax rate. my health care reform is based on the priv
have to have at least three hoosiers on the committee, it s a rule. we re satisfying that rule. but we also got three wisconsinite this is year, so that s cool. we have tom rice of south carolina. jackie what horsekey from indiana. and roger williams from texas. i want to yield to mr. van hol ton introduce their new members of the committee. let me start, mr. chairman, by thanking you for the way you ve conducted business in the budget committee both in the last session and i look forward to working with you in the same manner in this session. as you indicated we have very sharp differences on policy issues but in this committee, we have always been able to have that exchange of views in a civil way. i think that helps the debate going forward. thank you for that, mr. chairman. we have welcome to new members on the republican side. we re pleased to have some new members as well on our side. not all of them are new to the congress. some of them are, some of them aren t. we
so let me finish with this. i really like this new poll, the quinnipiac just did. it shows how exciting politics in this country can be. check this number. hillary clinton, 45%. chris christie, 37%. study that number. eight points isn t much to separate a woman who everybody knows around her and i think is unbeatable in many ways, from a new jersey governor who still hasn t gotten re-elected yet. but the real number there is that undecided number. 18%. that means 55% out there in this country are either for christie or not committed yet. since everyone in the country has a pretty good fix on who the recent secretary of state is, that can only mean this could be one heck of a race. why do i think that s important? i want there to be a two-party system in this country. a huge number of people could reasonably choose between the two candidates and both parties are capable of putting forward a presidential candidate who believes the government is important. that it s important fo
