Experiences of parenthood that those of us that had the opportunity to know those days and have that experience and be blessed with that experience know so well. To my brothers tom and mike, who have truly been with me since this train left the station in nebraska many years ago. Thank you. One last point, with all life is given me, i am most proud of having once been a soldier. The lessons from my time in uniform about trust, responsibility, duty, judgment and loyalty to your fellow soldier, these i have carried with me through my life. May god bless each of you. Thank you.

He was nominated to replace chuck hagel in december. In could see the confirmation hearing on wednesday beginning at 9 30 a. M. Eastern on cspan 3. On newsmakers, the vermont senator talks about the president s Budget Proposal would is due to be released monday. Developing a budget and fasttrack trade authority. The senator talks about Infrastructure Investment and trade policy. Infrastructure is one of the big things that both parties broadly say they want to Work Together on hit republicans say they want democrats to come on board on these new trade agreements. How do you plan to handle this with your role on the Budget Committee . Do you think this has any prospect of getting through congress this year . I think there is no denying this a our infrastructure is rumbling. Please to be first place in terms of the quality of our infrastructure. Today we are 12 lice. 12th place. We need a Huge Investment to bring it up to par. We cannot turn our back on it. What i can tell you is if you dont invest in roads and are just, its a point to get any better. The trade issue is another issue. Controversial issues. I think if you look at the fact what youll find is that their permanent trade relations with china have cost us millions of decent paying jobs. Companies that have shut down have gone to china. They have gone to lowwage countries. I think the Transpacific Partnership agreement will continue that. The minimum wage is . 50 an hour. Frankly, i dont think American Worker should be forced to compete against people who are making her endlessly low wages. If you have learned anything, are working people have paid a terrible price for them in a race to the bottom. I think we should kill this agreement.
