is they ll know and we know that we spy on their routinely, they spy on us routinely. they all spy on each other routinely. the problem when it becomes a matter of public discourse, all of the leaders have to stand up and be indignity in front of their own public but the reality is it s been going on for a long time. what we didn t know was the extent to which it s been going on with the general public over there. not the governmental institutions, or michigan like the e.u., but the general public. neil: a lot of just a. joes and joannes or pierres who have been the subject of these examinations for a good long time. the fact our government has follow the denied this and we re getting a lot of this faux rage and ministers, everybody playing to their respective crowded utah just how bad is this? i think those leaders over there have to continue to display to their own public some indignity nat come that comes
application to everyone including himself. how is it to live with this, this history? you are now part of history. you have been for 20 years. do you get past that just personally? on a day-to-day basis, i don t experience it sort of in visible ways as i have in the last few days. i turned on the tv the other day and there i was on history tv a picture of me 35-year-old me 20 years ago. so that doesn t happen every day. but you know what i do get regularly that reminds me how important that moment was for so many people what i get probably once a week or routinely, are letters and e-mails from individuals saying specifically what the hearings meant to them. and that reminds me not only that it was important then that that it is important now and that we must keep pushing
context of all of the states. obviously, new york is a very blue stated, governor cuomo has a lot of union issues, he also has a heavily weighted democratic legislature, the republicans narrowly took control of one house of the legislature. but, new york republicans are not like ohio republicans. or wisconsin republicans. new york republicans are sort of like democrats-light and so, what he s trying to do is walk carefully through the issues and focus for the first year, first go-around, remember he s only been in office a two months, to stop the growth in spending and the plan is to keep the state funding of state money to a 2% growth, which would be an incredible achievement given that in past years it has been 8 and 10% routinely and this is the first thing and what he s tried to do is limit the spending on medicaid and education. and those are the big drivers in new york, as well as nationally. and, so he s really focused on
look at boston. it s gotten 60.3 inches. their average is almost 42. philly already seeing almost 38 inches. their average is closer to 20. what is going on? okay, what s really going on is that we are overloading the atmosphere with extra carbon, which is trapping extra heat because we burn lots of coal and oil. and so, what this is doing is turbo-charging weather patterns. so, what we see is that in the spring and the summer, in places where it rains, we are recording much heavier rainfall. and in the wintertime, we are also recording much heavier snowstorms. in other words, climate change is creating a new normal of weather extremes, and we have to plan for this and prepare our snow removal budgets for such extremes. and brenda, this extends to even the temperature, because it seems like we re getting a lot more cold weather. the temperatures seem to be just in the 20s routinely lately. well, one thing is that
rendell, anyone you are mentioning here, i don t know, asking them about a possible deal involving a job offer. are you going to spend your time doing that? as i said, when governor rendell said this is typical, it goes on. i ve done something similar. a member of the bush administration s press team said that similar things happened under the bush administration. what we discovered was that laws that are on the books to prevent this, routinely are not considered to apply. so as part of reform, it s not a matter of looking back. let s assume for a moment, as i believe, that every administration has done it, we will look into whether or not taxpayer dollars should be used in that way, and try to prevent it in the future, which i think are the event into laws are. but we ve got a lot bigger problems. you know we have $1.4 trillion of borrowed money to get through each year. we re going to are to find savings, waste and so on and that s going to be the main agenda of our committee.
