1970S TELEVISION SHOWS
The following is a list of David Susskind Shows possibly housed in a number off-site facilities--if they can be located at all. These listed programs HAVE NOT BEEN INSPECTED thus we cannot guarantee the existence, quality, duration or timely delivery of any of the material listed here. We offer access to these tapes on the following basis ONLY: All tapes are on their original 2" video format. The only way to verify the contents is to screen them, thus we will need to pull them from the inventory, ship and transfer them before we are able to verify content and quality. A $500 fee PER TAPE is required when ordering screening material from this collection. This fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. This fee will cover the cost of 2" tape handling, 2" Fed-Ex shipping (2-way) and 2" transfer. PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY SHOWS ARE ON TWO SEPARATE TAPES, THUS IT COULD COST DOUBLE ($1000) TO SCREEN SOME COMPLETE SHOWS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT EVEN IF YOU ORDER A SHOW BASED ON THE CATALOG NUMBER AND TITLE FROM THIS DATABASE WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL GET THE TAPE YOU ORDER. THIS IS BECAUSE THROUGH THE YEARS TAPES MAY HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE INCORRECT CASES AND THE WRITTEN INFORMATION ON THE CASES IS ALL WE HAVE TO ID A TAPE BEFORE IT IS TRANSFERRED. WHILE WE WILL USE ALL EFFORTS TO EXPEDITE YOUR REQUEST, BUT WE CANNOT RUSH THE PROCESS, AND YOU ORDER THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK. IF WE DO NOT LOCATE THE TAPE THERE IS NO CHARGE, BUT IF WE DO AND IT IS REMOVED FROM THE FACILITY FOR TRANSFER, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE NON-REFUNDABLE FEES.

Wide of Xi standing with other newly appointed members of Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China 10. Mid of Xi standing out waving to the media STORYLINE: Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping was promoted to vice chairman of a key Communist Party military committee on Monday in the clearest sign yet he remains on track to take over as the country's future leader within three years. Members of the ruling party's governing Central Committee also pledged to make "vigorous yet steady" efforts to promote political restructuring, the official Xinhua News Agency and state broadcaster CCTV said, citing a document issued at Monday's close of the committee's annual four-day meeting. No specifics were given, although party leaders routinely call for administrative refinements to shore up one-party rule. "Work in improving the CPC (Central Military Commission) ruling capacity and maintaining the Party's advanced nature should be strengthened to promote the Party's competence in leading the country's economic and social development," Xinhua said, citing the party document. Xinhua gave few details about Xi's long-expected appointment to the Central Military Commission that oversees the 2.3 (m) million-member People's Liberation Army. Xi, 57, is the party's sixth-ranking leader and has been viewed as the anointed successor to President Hu Jintao, who is expected to step down as party chief in 2012 and as president the next year. Xi's appointment to the party's military commission, and an identical one on the government side, has been viewed as a necessary step in preparing Xi for the top office. The 11-member commission already has two vice chairmen and is chaired by Hu, who had also been its only civilian member for the past five years, allowing him to consolidate his influence over the military at the expense of other political rivals. The reports indicated the commission was being expanded to 12 members rather than Xi replacing one of the current vice chairmen. Without a transparent electoral process, the party utilises such appointments to show that the succession is going ahead smoothly and predictably. Although the precedent is thin, Hu had been made a vice chairman of the military commission three years before taking over and Xi's failure to receive the position last year had sparked speculation that the succession process had stalled. In addition to affirming Xi's path to the top, his appointment bolsters the party's absolute control over the military in a repudiation of calls for the PLA to become a national army under government, not party, leadership. It also stands as a show of unity among party leaders amid speculation about possible divisions over the scope and pace of political reform. Premier Wen Jiabao has made a number of statements calling for unspecified changes to the one-party system, but other leaders have harshly denounced any moves to adopt Western-style democratic institutions. Xi is the son of a party veteran, placing him firmly in the camp of the "princelings," politicians whose political connections and degrees from top universities have won them entry into the country's elite. Princelings often vie for position with the followers of former leader Jiang Zemin, who is believed to still wield considerable influence behind the scenes. Xi built his career working in the wealthy eastern provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang, and served briefly as party chief of Shanghai before being elevated to the all-powerful nine-man Politburo Standing Committee in 2007. Along with promoting Xi, the 200-plus Central Committee members and more than 150 alternates discussed and approved parts of an economic blueprint for the next five years that aims to narrow the yawning gap between rich and poor and begin the delicate preparations for a new generation of leaders. The plan, covering the 2011-2015 period, includes a greater focus on public services, promoting employment, strengthening the social security system, and better access to public health care, state media said. China's economy has boomed over the past three decades, but unevenly so. Hundreds of millionaires have emerged while the urban poor struggle and development in the vast countryside lags. Besides the wealth gap, leaders of the 78 (m) million-member party also have to deal with a public dissatisfied with rising inflation, high housing prices, employment woes among college graduates, endemic corruption, while Tibetan and Muslim regions of western China are held in check by a smothering security presence. Abroad, China is facing criticism from the US for its currency and trade practices and its support for North Korea and ties with Iran.

8:00 p.m.: [program of December 3, 2023]
UNITED STATES SENATE 0900-1000
SENATE FLOOR DEBATE: The Senate proceeds to two hours of debate on the motion to invoke cloture on the Reid motion to concur with the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R.4853, Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010 with the Baucus amendment #4727 (tax cut extension for those making up to $250,000 and other measures). If cloture is not invoked, the Senate would immediately proceed to vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the Schumer amendment #4728 (tax cut extension for those making up to $1 million and other measures). 09:00:12 Senator Orrin Hatch: British parliament to repeal the 09:00:14last of several controversial colonial taxes. his wisdom was instructive for today's vote. i quote -- and remember, this is sir edmund burke arguing for the colonists in america. 09:00:30quote -- "could anything be a subject to more just alarm of america than to see you go out of the plain highroad of finance and give up your most certain revenues and your clearest interests merely for the sake of insulting your colonies." burke's point was the parliament was acting unwising by 09:00:47maintaining a tea tax primarily primarilyto spite the colonists. four years from day, we will support tax day 2011. it will impose a punitive tax hike on virtually every american 09:01:03taxpayer. that day of reckoning has been clear since my friends took power almost four years ago in both houses of congress. my friends on the other side, with all due respect, your actions this morning amount to meddling. you possess part of the sovereign power to change the tax law to prevent this tax 09:01:18increase. instead you have forced this body into a political showdown. the proponents of the so-called millionaires tax say the reason to do is -- quote -- "fiscal discipline." this proposal preserves less than half of the revenue of the 09:01:35related provisions in the reid-baucus substitute. if that's the case and revenue is the goal of the proponents of the millionaires tax, they ought to stick with the reid-baucus substitute. but let's set aside the moment the fact that the revenue raised 09:01:51is a fraction that the broader tax hike on the reid-baucus substitute. does anyone take seriously the -- that the revenue raised will go to deficit reduction? does anybody really believe that? you know they're going to spend every dime of it if there were 09:02:08any revenues. where is the mechanism in the amendment to assure taxpayers of that? more importantly what is the record of my friends on the other side on this point? you need to only look at the fine print. in the revenue and spending of the president's budget. 09:02:23as an aside the president's budget is the most transparent presentation of the fiscal features of the agenda of my friend on the other side. hiking marginal tax rates on singles making more than $200,000 and on families 09:02:39making over $250,000 translate to about .6% of 1% of gross domestic product, g.d.p., per year over 10 years. the new above baseline spending initiatives in the president's budget translate to .7500 of 1% 09:02:59of g.d.p. per year over 10 years. what does that mean? the revenue raised by the tax hike in the reid-baucus substitute is less than the new spending in the president's budget. 09:03:10it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. and as i've stated earlier the revenue raised from my friend from new york he's amendment is less than half of the reid-baucus substitute. does anybody really believe that lesser amount of revenue is less 09:03:27likely to be spent? so much for the fiscal discipline argument. there's some very disturbing points to ponder in this so-called millionaires tax. i'm going to alert my friends on the other side to them. the first point is that capital is the lifeblood of business. 09:03:45put more capital into business and it will respond. the business will gain economic energy. curtail the flow of capital to a business and it will -- and it will respond. the business will lose economic energy. 09:03:59and that's what's happening in america. according to the latest internal revenue service statistics of inkol data a lot of capital gain income is earned by the taxpayers targeted by senator schumer's amendment. s.o.i., in other words, 09:04:16statistics of income data, states that 56.6% of the net long-term capital gain from traditional capital assets is reported by taxpayers with $1 million or more dollars in income. more importantly if capital 09:04:31gains from transactions involving partnerships and other flow-through entities are a concern, that percentage rises to 64.7%. there can be little doubt that we are talking about a large pool of capital. if my friends on the other side 09:04:47were to prevail it would a game changer for the tax treatment of a large pool of capital of in -- of income from capital. the change in the capital gain would surely be a negative one. i have chart that illustrates the change in the playing field 09:05:04for capital transactions. it shows where we are today. that's 15% capital gains rate. 09:05:14if my friends on the other side are successful in a little over 27 days from now the marginal rate will rise to 20%. the health care reform bill has banked in another 3.9% rate hike and that kicks in a little over 09:05:29two years from now and that's this one right here, 23.9%. what does this chart show? it shows that the marginal rate on nearly two-thirds of taxable long-term capital gains transactions could be affected. it means investors who supply 09:05:46that capital, lifeblood of business, will see the marginal tax rate on capital gains rise by nearly 60% in a little over two years. everything else being equal, a rise in the marginal tax rate means a decline in the after-tax 09:06:02rate of return. the nonpartisan joint committee on taxation always cautions us about this effect in their revenue estimates. here's what joint tax says and i quote -- "we anticipate that taxpayers would respond to the 09:06:17increased marginal rate by utilizing tax planning and tax avoid ant strategies that will decrease the amount of income subject to taxation." unquote. my gosh, what more do you need to understand economics? capital is the lifeblood of 09:06:33business. raise the marginal rate on capital gains transactions, the result will be a decrease in the after-tax rate of return on capital investments. what will happen? capital will go out of taxable activities in many cases. 09:06:50capital, the lifeblood of business, will be constricted. with capital constricted, does anybody see business activity affected in any way that is positive? it would be hard to imagine that outcome. 09:07:04when most folks hear about a so-called millionaires tax, they probably think it would have minimal impact on the business environment. that they -- the data i discussed shows the op sivment it also shows that any revenue raised will likely be spent. 09:07:22anybody who believes that by raising revenues, that we're going to pay off the national debt hasn't live in this country for the last 34 years that i've been in the senate. our friends on the other side 09:07:35will always spend that money. that's how they keep themselves in power. does it make sense to send a tax policy signal to investors to move their capital out of taxable business activity? in the worst economic 09:07:51environment in many years, now 9.8% unemployment, shouldn't we be going in the opposite direction? instead of finding way to kill jobs when our unemployment rate continues to stagnate at 10%, let's find a bipartisan solution protect all americans, 09:08:07especially our job creators, from crushing tax hikes. it's time to put a stop to this nonsensical political theater and get down to the people's business. just one last thought. over the last summer president obama said, and i would -- quote -- "the last -- this is 09:08:24president obama now, and he said it just over the last summer -- quote -- "the last thing you want to do is to raise taxes in the middle of a recession because that would just suck up, take more demand out of the 09:08:39economy and put businesses in a further hole." unquote. i think the president was right. and i think the economists think it was right in making that statement. and it should be the last thing we do is raising taxes in the 09:08:56middle of this downturn that now is even more down because the 9.8% unemployment rate. and, really, that only tells part of the story. if you really talk about the underemployment rate, those who don't have jobs, can't find 09:09:11jobs, et cetera, are dependent on the federal government and those who have stopped looking for jobs, and there are a lot of people like that, you're talking 18% or better. we've got to wise up here. what -- the last thing on earth we need to do is increase taxes 09:09:27at this late date. mr. president, this is an important debate, but the democrats have had four years to change this where they controlled the houses of congress and in the last two years not only controlled both houses and the presidency, and 09:09:42now at this last minute to come in and say we've got to do something, it just shows a lack of -- well, you name it. i won't name it. i yield the floor. A SENATOR:mr. president? THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the senator from south dakota. Thune (R-SD):mr. president, i 09:09:57think the american people when they spoke at the election this year basically were saying one thing, and that is we want to keep the main thing the main thing and the american people the main thing is getting the 09:10:11economy growing again and creating jobs. now, almost everything that has been done here in congress in the last couple of years has been the exact opposite of that. because you've seen policies put in place that increase the cost of doing business in this country and make it more 09:10:26difficult for small businesses to create jobs. and so here we are today debating what evidently has become the democrat economic theory which is raise taxes to create jobs. 09:10:41now, we've seen it in play throughout the last year -- the last couple of years. the cap-and-trade bill was a tax on energy. it didn't get through the senate here because we were prepared to stop it, but it passed in the house of representatives, was headed here. the health care bill raised 09:10:57taxes on medical device manufacturers, and drug companies, and health insurance plans, all of which is going to get passed on to small businesses in the form of higher insurance premiums. here we are debating a frontal, direct tax increase on small 09:11:16businesses. it is the most astounding theory about how to create jobs that i have ever seen. raise taxes to create jobs. that hasn't worked. it hasn't worked in practice. the senator from iowa i think eloquently pointed out 09:11:32historically if you go back in the past half century, not only does it not create jobs, it doesn't create additional revenue. as he pointed out, when you raise taxes, you don't get more revenue. when you lower taxes, you the get not less revenue, you get more. 09:11:48why? because it affects the behavior of the american people. it affects investors, it affects allocation of capital, it affects people across this country when they know that their tax rates are going to be low. and so this, to me, seems to be completely off the track and off the point that the american 09:12:04people want us to focus on, which is keeping the main thing the main thing. how can we expand the economy? how can we create jobs? we do that by keeping taxes low on small businesses which, by the way, create two-thirds of the jobs in our economy. 09:12:20now what will be the impact of the proposal that we will vote on today in terms of small businesses and their ability to create jobs? according to the joint tax committee, half of small business income would be subject 09:12:36to higher taxes. now, that translates into $750 -- 750,000 small businesses that would be faced with higher taxes. and that incidentally impacts about 25% of the workforce in this country. how does that translate in real terms? 09:12:52when these taxes go up on january 1st, for people who make more than $250,000 a year, who are going to be paying probably the 33% or the 35% marginal income tax rate today, their taxes are going to go up to 36% or 39.5%. now, if they're a family of four 09:13:11and they've got personal exemptions, those phase out, there's a cap on the number of itemized deductions kick it, their marginal tax rate increase could go up to 41%. if you're a small business today 09:13:26paying at the 33% rate and you end up paying 41% as a result of this increase -- this tax increase that's going to take effect on january 1, you're looking at roughly a 25% increase on your income. now, that's obviously going to 09:13:42increase the cost of doing business. when you increase the cost of doing business, it makes it that much harder for small businesses to invest, to make that new capital investment, to buy that new piece of equipment or to hire that additional person or hopefully additional people in 09:13:59the workplace. and so all we are simply doing here is trying to implement a failed policy that hasn't worked in the past and isn't going to work in the future. and it doesn't have to be -- you've got all the science, history and facts to support 09:14:15this and it is counterintuitive of the american people. how many people think that the way to create jobs is to increase the cost of doing business in this country? when small businesses create two-thirds of the jobs in our economy, it is absolutely fundamental that you don't 09:14:31increase their cost of doing business, you don't raise taxes if your ultimate goal, if the main thing is to create jobs. now, the best thing that we can do for the high unemployment numbs and for the debate -- numbers and the the debate we're having for unemployment benefits 09:14:47being extended is to get people back to work. this is the exact opposite way of going about that. this is just -- it's completely counterintuitive. raising taxes to create jobs. as it failed economic theory and it failed in practice. 09:15:03now, i think if the democrats' tax hike goes into effect -- and make no 09:15:10mistake about it, i mean, i hear the other side talking about tax breaks and tax cuts. these aren't tax breaks or tax cuts. taxes are going up january 1, pure and simple. that's -- that's all there is to it. taxes are going up. they're going up on income, they're going up on capital gains, they're going up on 09:15:27dividends, they're going up on estates. if action isn't taken here by congress, we are going to see the largest tax increase in american history. and the other side says well, let's cushion it, let's just limit it to those making more than $250,000. of course, that affects a lot of 09:15:44l.l.c.'s, a lot of partnerships, a lot of subchapter s corporations whose income flows through to their individual income tax return and who are going to be faced with the higher income tax rates, not to mention the higher capital gains rates and the higher dividend rates. 09:15:58the very people that we're asking to pull us out of this recession and create jobs. and so where does that leave us? well, we're going to have an alternative. the alternative would that be we just extend the tax relief, not raise taxes, not increase the costs of doing business, allow our small businesses to prosper and to grow and to flourish and 09:16:16to create more jobs for the american people so that we can get that 9.8% unemployment rate down and reduce the amount of unemployment benefits that we have to come back periodically here and approve. 9.8% unemployment. 09:16:30we were told a year and a half ago or a little over that, almost two years ago, when the stimulus bill was being debated, that if we just passed a trillion-dollar stimulus bill, that we could keep unemployment under 8%. that didn't work. obviously, we borrowed a trillion dollars to do that from 09:16:46our children and grandchildren, and what do we have to show for it? we've got a 9.8% unemployment rate today. and no apparent prospect for the economy to pull out of this sluggishness that we're in. the best way to accomplish that, the best way to make that 09:17:04happen, in my view, mr. president, and i think the views of the american people -- and i speak as one individual who's under the $250,000 threshold -- that i understand, as i think most americans do, that the people who create jobs in this country are the people who make more than $250,000. and i hope that they continue to 09:17:21do well, because the small businesses, when they can increase their top-line sales and revenues and increase their bottom-line profits, are going to be in a better position to create jobs. i get that. and i think the american people get that. which is why they so consistently, and particularly 09:17:37the best poll that was taken was the election day poll, where they came out in big numbers to voice their disapproval of the policies here in washington, d.c., that continue to kill jobs. so i think we ought to be looking at what we can do not to kill jobs but to create jobs, what we can be doing to 09:17:53incentivize small businesses to create jobs, not putting more burdens on them and increasing the cost of doing business in this country. there isn't anything that, in my view, that's happened in this last year, if you're -- if you're concerned about creating jobs, that has been conducive to 09:18:08that. now, there were a group -- there was a group of c.e.o.'s that was pulled in to visit with the president here sometime last summer, and when the president posed the question of them, mr. president, why -- or, why are you as c.e.o.'s, why are your corporations, rather, why are you not creating jobs? 09:18:26and i'll paraphrase this, but i think the answer very simply was, mr. president, it's your agenda. and that's the problem. we've got an agenda here that is killing jobs because it's increasing the cost of doing business in this country. it's a very simple proposition. i don't think it takes a lot to get it, and that's why i think 09:18:40so many people are beginning to realize that either of these proposals, the baucus proposal or the schumer proposal, are the wrong way in which to approach an economic downturn in this country and the wrong way to get that economy back on track and get people back to work. and the latest i think example 09:18:57that was today in the "new york times" and i quote, "in the latest sign of how this tax issue continues to wrang he will and divide democrats, white house officials said the administration opposes raising the income threshold to $1 million." so we've got the $250,000 vote that's going to occur, the 09:19:12million-dollar vote that's going to occur, but the other thing i want to point out, is even under the schumer bill, which is the million-dollar threshold, according to the joint tax committee, that still impacts 350,000 small businesses in this country who -- whose income flows through to their 09:19:28individual tax returns. so it's a question of who you want to raise taxes on, 750,000 small businesses with the baucus amendment or 350,000 small businesses with the schumer amendment? and obviously, one's better clearly than the other. 09:19:44but the point very simply is this -- the economic theory that we're debating here today about raise taxes to create jobs is the wrong one. it's been proven wrong historically. it's counterintuitive to anything anybody who knows anything about economics, which is why 60% of all the prominent 09:20:01economists in this country, as was quoted by the senator from iowa earlier today, have come out and said the best way to create jobs and grow and expand 09:20:10the economy is to extend these tax provisions come -- that are going to expire on january 1. that's what this debate's about, mr. president. i hope that we will keep the main thing -- the minimum thing for the american people -- the main thing for the american 09:20:23people, and not get distracted on all these other things. THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the senator's time has expired. Thune (R-SD):with that, mr. president, i urge my colleagues to defeat both of these amendments. and i yield the floor. THE PRESIDING OFFICER:who yields time? the senator from montana. Baucus, M. (D-MT):mr. president, i yield ten minutes to the senator 09:20:39from vermont. THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the senator from vermont. Sanders (I-VT):thank you. mr. president, what this debate 09:21:00is about is whether or not we continue to take money from the middle class and working families of this country who are struggling in a way that they 09:21:14have not struggled since the great depression, force their kids to borrow huge sums of money in order to provide $700 billion over a ten-year period 09:21:31to the wealthiest people in this country. mr. president, i hear my republican friends time and time again coming down to the floor of the senate, and they say, we 09:21:47have a huge deficit. we have a huge national debt. and today, what they want to do is to drive that national debt up by $700 billion over the next ten years in order to give huge 09:22:07tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires. so, please, my friends, say what you want, but stop talking about the deficit and the national debt when what you're doing 09:22:22today is driving that debt up by $700 billion over the next ten years. and, second of all, what everybody in america knows is that what's going on in our country today is that the middle class is collapsing, poverty is 09:22:40increasing, but the people on top are doing phenomenally well. in the last 25 years, 80% of all new income created in this country went to the top 1%. 09:23:01you don't have to worry about the top 1%, the millionaires and the billionaires in this country are doing just fine. they don't need a huge tax increase. 09:23:13today in america, we have the most unequal distribution of income and wealth that we have had in this country since before the great depression. isn't it enough for you that the top 1% now earns 23.5% of all income? 09:23:32isn't it enough for you that the top 1% earns more income than the bottom 50%? isn't it enough for you that in the last 25 years, almost all new income has gone to the top 1%? 09:23:47do you really think that the c.e.o.'s on wall street who makes hundreds of millions of dollars a year really need a tax break? do you really think so? i don't think most of the american people think that our kids and grandchildren have got 09:24:07to see their taxes go up in order to provide tax breaks for the richest people in this country. and thirdly, mr. president, what i would say without the slightest doubt is if these guys 09:24:21are successful in giving $700 million nor tax breaks to millionaires -- more in tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires, the next thing they'll do is run down on the floor and they'll say, "oh, my word, the deficit and the debt are going up. 09:24:37we've got to cut social security because we have such a large debt." yeah, we've raise the debt by $700 billion. now we've got to cut social security. we can't afford to extend unemployment compensation. we just can't do it. millions of workers out there 09:24:54today, as we get to the holiday season, are worried about how they're going to take care of their families, how they're going to maintain the minimum level of economic security. we can't afford to extend 09:25:08unemployment security but we can afford to give billions and billions of dollars in tax relief to the top 1%. so, mr. president, i think this 09:25:22is a very easy vote. and the vote is to say okay, let's give tax relief, let's extend the tax cuts to 98%, many of whom are struggling. but let us not give tax breaks today to the millionaires and billionaires of this country who 09:25:39in many ways have never had it so good. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. Kyl (R-AZ):mr. president? THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the senator from arizona. Kyl (R-AZ):thank you, mr. president. i think what we've just heard illustrates why it's been so hard for us to reach a bipartisan agreement on how to 09:25:56resolve the tax issues that all americans face in just four short weeks. but last tuesday, a group of us went down to the white house to visit with the president, the vice president, some of his folks in a spirit of cooperation, i must say, and a 09:26:11spirit in which the president reached out to us and said all right, the elections are over, my party didn't do so well but it's time now for to us get together, work together, and the first piece of business we have to resolve is this tax issue. we have to figure out how we're going to fund the government for the remaining ten months of the 09:26:27fiscal year and we have to figure out how we're going to prevent americans from getting a big tax increase come january 1. and what i'd like for you-all to do, talking both to democratic and republican leaders in the house and senate, is to sit down and try to negotiate this in a 09:26:45bipartisan spirit that really would give credit to the congress and give the american people some confidence that they can move forward with some degree of clarity about what their tax obligations are going to be. we agreed and he asked us if we 09:26:58would be willing to sit down literally immediately to begin these discussions. we said yes. he named two of his chief spokesmen, the treasury secretary tim geithner and jack lou, the head of o.m.b., to 09:27:15discuss those issues on behalf of the administration. and each of the four leaders in the house and senate named someone to join the discussions as well. leader mcconnell asked me to do that on behalf of senate republicans. we immediately scheduled a meeting and we got together to discuss the parameters of how we 09:27:32should move forward, and it was a very productive discussion. but it also became apparent, and it became apparent the second time we met, that actually there weren't going to be any bipartisan negotiations to reach a decision until there had been 09:27:50a political catharsis on the democratic side. and so let me respond tbreefl --respond briefly to comments y the majority leader this morning, who seemed to lay at the feet republicans delay in 09:28:02getting this tax issue resolved, when, in fact, it's been due to the fact that house and senate democrats have had to demonstrate to many of the people in their political base that they can't accomplish what their base would like them to accomplish and, therefore, 09:28:17ultimately they'll have to negotiate something with us. i understand sometimes that you -- you need to go through a process whereby it makes it easier for you to make concessions. and i suspect that's part of what this is all about. and i certainly don't denigrate 09:28:34the motives of any of my colleagues, because this is hard and they're getting a lot of pressure from people in their political base about not giving in to the republicans and so on. but the president asked us to discuss this in a bipartisan way 09:28:48and republicans have been willing to do that. but, first of all, speaker pelosi scheduled a vote in the house that was the democratic position, to allow taxes to be increased on hundreds of thousands of small businesses and others in this country. 09:29:04that vote was finally held, and i might add that 20 democrats left the fold and joined republicans in saying no, that's not the way to reach a consensus here. and then the senate democrats decided to schedule the same 09:29:20vote and one more vote to try to accomplish the same purpose. because of the lateness of the time in which that was done, the cloture didn't ripen until this morning rption which is why we're here this morning getting ready to cast these two votes. but i just to want make it clear 09:29:36that i have a disagreement with the majority leader if he's suggesting it's somehow republicans who have delayed these negotiations. the fact, is we've had three meetings and i've sat there and we've been very congenial with each other but it's been very 09:29:51clear that we're not going to be negotiating anything until all of this political process is over with. until the partisan votes have been cast. and then, and only then, will people sit down to seriously negotiate how we're going to resolve the issue. 09:30:05the problem is, of course, there's very little time before christmas. the president has some other things on his agenda, as does the p.m. themajority leader. i now understand we're going to have to schedule time next week for an impeachment trial, for example, that could take about a day and a half. 09:30:20the president would like to see the start treaty brought up in the senate and resolved before christmas. there are other things that have to be done. i just want to make it clear that it's not republicans' fault that these things are taking time and we still don't have the 09:30:37tax issue he resolved. we've been in the lame-duck section two weeks and we -- session for two weeks. the senate has passed a food safety bill which turns out to be unconstitutional. two weeks of lame-duck session and essentially nothing 09:30:52accomplished. our democratic colleagues have been caucus for hours -- hours trying to figure out what to do while republicans are yesterdayy to -- are ready to negotiate, ready to act. but until this political ka -- s finally run its course, there 09:31:11appears there will be no more negotiation. now, i'm assuming that next time the negotiators get together, i hope it will be monday morning whenever we can get together, that we will then be able to actually sit down and work 09:31:26through the process so that we can extend the policies, the tax policies that have been in place for the last decade so that no americans will have their taxes increased, so businesses will have certainty, that families will have certainty about what 09:31:43their tax obligations will be going into the next year. if that process can begin quickly, i think that we can reach a bipartisan agreement that would make the american people proud and would demonstrate that we can actually come together on an important issue like this for the -- on behalf of the american people. 09:32:00let there be no mistake, the votes taken in the house of representatives and will be taken here are not because republicans wanted to take these votes. these are votes that the democrats believed were necessary to demonstrate, essentially, that they can't get the support they need to do what they would prefer to do, 09:32:16therefore, enabling them to sit down and talk to republicans. those are the facts. we understand that this takes time. i just don't want to be blamed for taking the time when it's, in fact, not the republicans' fault that negotiations have not been completed. 09:32:34THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the senator from alaska. Begich (D-AK):mr. president, thank you very much. as you know i was presiding this morning. i wasn't scheduled to speak, but this time i decided to inform my staff prior to speaking so they 09:32:47would not be surprised. with all due respect to the senator from arizona, let's not cast shadows on either side. you can't blame one side or the other for delay. i can argue that the food safety bill took too long because of 09:33:05three filibusters from the other side. we're here. i'm new to the whole process the last two years and i've been patient about the issues we face and talk about. but this one is a fundamental issue. it's not the question of how long we extend these tax benefits for the middle class, 09:33:21it's who gets them, the middle class or the wealthy, the millionaires and billionaires? i heard my good friend who sponsored a piece of legislation that passed from south dakota to talk about the small business people, that they'll be 09:33:36affected. well, i'm going to give you some data points. because it's one thing to have opinions. it's one thing to have facts. let's just focus on the facts. the bottom line is businesses in this country -- and i can speak as a small business person. i think the only one, if not probably pretty darned close, 09:33:53the only one who has small businesses in this -- in this chamber, my wife has four retail businesses. she started her businesses selling smoked salmon at the back of a vending cart. 09:34:10today she employs -- has 30-some employees. who are these people, this small business community that i hear from the other side they talk about? i have no clue most of them have been in it or not, but i have. who are these people? these are people we get our dry 09:34:26cleaning from or we go to the convenience store or the pizza parlor, or wherever it might be, these are the small businesses we're talking about. the small business community of this country who make one million -- $1 million gross, 09:34:40that's not their taxable income, gross, $1 million and under, which probably their net income is well below $200,000, the taxable income is 95% of the businesses of this country. 09:34:56i like the $250,000 and under proposal, i also like the compromise, the compromise that senator schumer brought forward, 09:35:05a million and under. because it catches 95% plus of the small businesses in this country. when you hear and i continue to hear on the other side that we're going to have an impact on the small business community, you're not. if you support the efforts of 09:35:21helping the middle class and you support the efforts of helping small business, businesses that gross a million dollars -- $1 million an under. for those who don't know the difference between gross and 09:35:35net. net is the profit, gross is what they sell the product for, not what they get taxed on. don't confuse the numbers and confuse the american people. it is 95-plus percent of the businesses will enjoy the tax relief break. 09:35:52don't be confused by some of the numbers thrown around on the other side or their one-liners. i'm going to tell you from an alaskan, when i thron the constituency, when i get the phone calls, e-mails, the thousand-plus letters and 09:36:08e-mails i get every single week, what do they want? they want to be sure that the small business community -- in our state 56% of the employment is generated by small business. small businesses that every day are making a difference. those are the folks we're focused on. 09:36:23it's a question of not how long these extensions are or how long these breaks are, it's who gets them. is it the millionaire, billionaire club or who people on the other side complain that we're here on a saturday. 09:36:39you know what? there are a lot of alaskans, a lot of americans, a lot of folks from colorado, mr. president, who are working today. they're working on saturday. working on sunday. working one or two or three jobs. so, first i'd say to my 09:36:55colleagues we're here to have a debate. some might want to call it political. welcome to politics where 100 people get elected to a political process. this is what i came for, to debate and discuss what is important to the american 09:37:10people, important to alaskans. yesterday the "wall street journal", as well as "the washington post," which some may consider a liberal newspaper, just read their headlines. we can talk about what's making the economy move. 09:37:27what's making the economy move is consumer confidence. not millionaire an billionaire confidence. i can tell you that. they have $2 billion stuffed in a bank account -- my friend from iowa, we have done work together, he's right $2 trillion stuffed away with the 09:37:44millionaires and billionaires. but the people who are expending the resources and buying this economy are people who are the middle class, the working people of this country. so it's a question of who do we support? who are we going to help? and we do have this huge deficit. 09:37:59we have to make some decisions sooner or later here and today is one of those decisions. we're going to make a decision, hopefully, that millionaires and billionaires, we're not going to fund your tax bonus, your tax giveaway from the taxpayers on the backs of the future. 09:38:16but we are going to help the small business community. we are going to help the middle class. when you look at the numbers, cybermoney, somebody may not know what this is. i do because we're in the retail business in our family. first there's black friday, and 09:38:33then vibe are monday. cybermonday alone raked in a historic -- a historic $1 billion. no disrespect to the millionaires and billion nation they're not on cybermonday. 09:38:49every day americans are, every day alaskans are. double-digit -- double-tijt increases to the automobile industry. -- double-digit increases to the automobile industry. 09:39:03we helped out to help them survive, now they're having double-digit details. existing home sales, which is critical to the industry, frc the real estate industry, i know this, 10.4% increase in october. 09:39:19that's not millionaires and billionaires buying those homes. these are working alaskans, working americans spending their money because they believe in the future. here we are about to have this political debate and there's a 09:39:35lot of swapping and trading going on and who knows what will happen next week on other legislation. to be frank with you, this is not the way it should operate. it should be voted on the merits. the merits of the 95-plus% that will benefit. 09:39:53the 98% of the middle class that will benefit, that's who we should be talking about. when you look at the data points in regards to the consumer confidence we're in now, the third running of -- the third 09:40:06month of running increased consumer confidence. 30 retail chains talk about their record increases in sales. again, i -- you know, the people who are shopping at these places, people like myself, my family, my brothers and sisters, 09:40:22many alaskans, that's what this is about. it's not a question about how long to extend these things. it's who will benefit from the right public policy discussion and decisions? small business folks benefit. and, you know, i understand the 09:40:39other side doesn't like the $250,000 and under, so a lot of us on this side, moderates, said why not try something a little different. let's up it a little bit. let's get to the million dollar threshold because it covers basically everybody except for 09:40:55the millionaire and billionaire club. that's reasonable. i have yet to see a compromise from the other side. that's what the election told us. it wasn't one side won, one side lost. what people in alaska are telling me every day, get busy, solve problems, compromise, and 09:41:12move forward. the compromise should not be on how long these go, but who benefits? so in my view, again, i'm going to support both of these. i think the compromise on the million dollars and under, so the argument i hear from the 09:41:28other side and i will tell you this from the other side, i'm a small business person, i know who these people are. so when you talk about it and talk about an economist says this or that, i worked in it, i lived it, i see it. so i understand what they're asking me to do. 09:41:44and going up to that compromise is the right decision in the long term. so i'd encourage my friends that we can reach a compromise here and get to help our small business community, middle class, and put money to reduce the deficit. 09:42:01to reduce the deaf the sit. -- the deficit. help our economy, reduce the deficit. i'd say that's a pretty good deal and that's what the taxpayers told us and the voters told us in this last election. to my friends on the other side, we're reaching out. 09:42:15they may not like the $250,000. but the million dollar and under is a step in a -- and a positive step to help our communities. and, again, why would we give millionaires and billionaires $300 billion in 09:42:32another bonus? it makes no sense to me. they're not the ones driving the economy. despite what my friends on the other side might say. it is the people in the small business community. it is the people who work every single day. who are working today while we deliberate this issue. 09:42:46who will be working tonight and tomorrow and monday. for us to sit around and say let's wait until monday to have a compromise, today is the day. right now. this is what we're doing. mr. president, i yield the floor. THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the 09:43:09senator from montana. Baucus, M. (D-MT):i yield 10 minutes to the senator from oregon. THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the senator from oregon. 09:43:47A SENATOR:mr. president? THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the senator from oregon. Merkley (D-OR):mr. president, i rise to contrast the democrat plan, plan a, and the republican plan, plan b, and what they mean 09:44:01for the working citizens of the united states of america. let me start by talking about the democratic plan, plan a. it's plan a because it's america's plan. now, why is it america's plan? 09:44:17first, it benefits every single taxpayer in america. that's the first reason. now, some of my colleagues across the aisle have liked to talk about how the democratic plan only helps those who earn 09:44:36under $250,000. but that's because they're not paying attention or they're deliberately distorting the tracts. because the democratic -- facts. because the democratic plan provides a tax break on the 09:44:51first $250,000 no matter what you make. so it helps every single american. the second is reason it's focused on citizens earning less than $250,000 is because it's the working citizens of the 09:45:04united states of america that have been getting the short end of the stick. the amount of money -- the average income for workers in america plateaued in 1974. that happens to be the year that i graduated 09:45:20from high school. earlier this year, i had the pleasure of taking my son to his first day of high school, the same high school i went to, exactly 40 years later. so for almost 40 years, the working wages for working 09:45:38americans have been flat. but during that time period, the wealth of this country has increased enormously. the productivity of the american worker has increased enormously. and up until the mid-1970's, 09:45:54when the productivity increased, the wages of working american always increased. they shared in the productivity of our economy because they were the driving factor in our economy. unfortunately, for the last 3 1/2 to 4 decades, that has not 09:46:11been the case. and then along comes the great bush recession. this recession, caused by the deregulation of retail mortgages, allowing predatory mortgages, allowing kickbacks for mortgage originators to 09:46:26create predatory mortgages when folks qualified for prime mortgages, and then the deregulation of wall street so those could be packaged into securities with a two-year ticking time bomb because they had these teaser rates on the 09:46:42mortgages. and when the interest rates went from 4 1/2% to 9% or 10%, not only did the mortgages blow up but the securities based on them blew up and we blew up the whole entire economy. so thank you, very much, friends across the aisle, for attacking the most important financial 09:46:58instrument to american families, the american mortgage, distorting it, allowing predatory mortgages, allowing predatory securities, blowing up this economy and attacking the american family. i can't tell you how many millions of american families 09:47:13are suffering because of the policies that you-all implemented over the last decade. and what is the result? the american family's home has lost value, tremendous amount of value, families underwater. what is the result? 09:47:28huge unemployment caused by this meltdown in the great bush recession. retirement savings decimated. folks who think they could have retired maybe now, maybe in two years, maybe in five years, realizing they may have to work as long as they're able to work, 09:47:46as long as they're able to keep a job. their dreams are blown up. thanks to these bush policies. well, there is a third reason that the democratic plan is the american plan and that's because four out of five americans 09:48:01support it. 79%, or roughly 80%, four out of five americans support tax breaks for families earning less than $250,000. extending those tax breaks. so that's plan a, america's plan. 09:48:19because it helps all americans, because it's focused on the american worker, who has been hit so hard by the great bush recession, and because four out of five americans support it and understand that we need it. but now let's turn to the republican plan, plan b. 09:48:39plan b consists -- go ahead and we'll switch to the next one here. plan b consists of bonus breaks for billionaires. 09:48:53millionaires and billionaires. now, why bonus? because every person helped under the republican plan who earns a million dollars or a billion dollars has already been helped under the democratic 09:49:08plan. but my colleagues across the aisle, they want extra for the wealthiest, most successful americans. now, i respect tremendously the entrepreneurs who have been so successful, but there is a time when we have to ask, are bonuses 09:49:26to those best off the best strategy for america to go forward? now, this is quite a tongue twister. bonus breaks for billionaires. and it gets even worse. these are an extension of the 09:49:42bush breaks. and because my colleagues across the aisle are trying to sell it as a job creator -- an issue we'll get to in a minute -- they're bogus. so we've got the bogus bonus bush breaks for billionaires. that's the republican "b" plan that they are saying they will 09:49:59obstruct any issue on the floor of the u.s. senate so they can 09:50:04get these bonus breaks for their best friends earning millions and billions. well, i'll tell ya, these are expensive. 09:50:18let's ask ourselves, how much is the average value of the republican bonus break? well, $100,000 per taxpayer, that's how much. now, if you take the $700 billion that the republican plan 09:50:36creates in more deficit and more debt, you take that $700 billion and you divide it by the number of citizens, men, women and child in america, 300 million, that's $2,300 for every man, woman and child in america. 09:50:54so when my colleagues across the aisle are proposing taking $2,300 out of every child's and adult's pocket in america to give breaks, $100,000 breaks to millionaires and billionaires. 09:51:12so let's look at the total cost of this. total cost -- $700 billion before you add on interest. let's add on interest. it's almost a trillion dollars. now, that is a huge increase in 09:51:29our deficit. so it is deficit busting, debt adding, financed by china, and placed on to our children. is that really what the excited 09:51:48republican team coming fresh out of an election is going to say is their top priority in america, is taking $2,300 from every man, woman and child in america so they can give $100,000 tax break to millionaires and billionaires? well, they have a way of trying 09:52:04to camouflage this. and that camouflage is to talk about jobs. so let's talk about jobs. let's look at the republican plan in terms of job creation. well, c.b.o. ranked the 09:52:19republican plan against many other plans, and where does it come in? dead last. now, i have here the detailed chart from the congressional budget office, and up here at the very top is the democratic 09:52:36plan. and that's to provide assistance to the unemployed. and down here at the very bottom is the republican plan, which is bonus breaks for millionaires and billionaires. let me tell you just how different these are. 09:52:52increasing aid to the unemployment is estimated to create 8 to 19 jobs for every million dollars in expenditure. 8 to 19 jobs. now, how many jobs are created by the republican plan? 09:53:11one to three. one to three jobs. so the democrats are saying, let's take the dead-last plan in job creation, the republican plan, and let's replace it with the best plan, the democratic 09:53:24plan. republican plan, one to three jobs per million dollars. one to three for a million dollars. the democratic plan, 8 to 19. well, my good friend from south dakota was out here and saying, 09:53:41it's just all common sense. yes, it is common sense. you take the plan that's the worst for job creation and you replace it with the plan that's best for job creation. well, friends across america, this is about jobs. 09:54:01and the word "jobs" will come out of the rhetoric on the opposite side of the aisle with every speech. but it's bogus. their plan, dead last. democratic plan, top of the list. 09:54:16check the c.b.o. study. it hurts to hear folks who are out of touch -- THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the senator has spoken for ten minutes. 09:54:34Merkley (D-OR):thank you. i ask to yield for 30 seconds. it hurts to hear folks -- Baucus, M. (D-MT):mr. president, might i ask my good friend how much more time he seeks? Merkley (D-OR):one minute would be fine. Baucus, M. (D-MT):one minute to the senator from oregon, please. THE PRESIDING OFFICER:without objection. 09:54:51Merkley (D-OR):i thank my friend from montana. it's summarized like this. we have american families that are hurting, they've lost their joz their retirement savings, the value of their house. let's have the plan that's best for creating jobs, not the plan that's worst for creating jobs. 09:55:02thank you very much, mr. president. i yield the floor. Graham, L. (R-SC):thank you. THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the 09:55:16senator from south carolina. Graham, L. (R-SC):am i allocated ten minutes, i think? okay. can you let me know when i'm at nine minutes. i don't want to go over. THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the senator will be allowed. Graham, L. (R-SC):thank you. thank you for allowing me to speak. senator grassley, senator baucus, i appreciate this. i guess the first observation i 09:55:32would make is that we're here on a saturday morning and this is democracy in many ways i think at its best. people understand the two votes are going to fail but it's good for americans to have genuine differences to be able to discuss what makes us tick, why we want to go one way versus the 09:55:50other. so the fact that america is divided on a lot of big issues is -- is just the result of living in a free country. now, what was the lessons of the last election? they are what you would like them to be but here's my 09:56:04observation, for what it's worth. our democratic friends really took a beating. as republicans, we have been there. in 2006 and 2008, we took a beating. 2006, the iraq war was going very badly and americans were very frustrated. 09:56:20president bush's popularity plummeted. in 2008, we had an economic meltdown that i thought was related to housing, that we lent money to people who couldn't afford to pay their mortgages, the mortgages were repackaged and sold as all kind of exotic 09:56:37instruments throughout the world and it brought the whole world economy down. and we've been trying to struggle ever since. we can talk about how much fannie mae and freddie mac were the cause of this problem, how much loose practices when it came to lending, but i think most people understand that our 09:56:52economic crisis was created by the -- the mortgage -- the housing market being overextended and people getting into that market in exotic ways without a whole lot of regulation. now, here we are a couple years later. i think the last election was a 09:57:08message to our democratic friends, for the last two years, you've been going down the wrong road. the health care bill, which about 80% of americans, if it ever becomes law, will become -- will be under government-controlled health 09:57:23care, was an overreach. the stimulus package was $780 billion-something that wass never done what it was billed to do. the democratic party has been engaged in what is way above 09:57:40what every american charged them to do. this election was not pro-republicans but to our democratic colleagues, stop. and the way you get stopped around here is you get replaced. so the house had a dramatic election. we picked up seats in the senate and some of us thought maybe we 09:57:54could have picked up two or three more and made some pretty poor choices when it came to the candidates. but that's now behind us. and what i would like to tell my colleagues, that when i look at america, i don't see an undertaxed nation. i think our tax code is far too complicated. 09:58:1035% is the rate now. how much is enough? is it 39.6%? is that the difference between, you know, a -- a social justice country and -- and a land of the rich? i mean, if -- are we going to increase taxes for the upper incomes by 10% when we can't create enough jobs for americans 09:58:28who are unemployed? i do believe this idea that upper-income americans are the ones who create most jobs for the middle class and people looking for work. that's just a fact. here's how our tax code works today. 09:58:4240% of americans pay no federal income tax. so 40% of us really don't pay any income tax at all. of those who do, 50% of those who pay federal income tax pay 3%. the other 50% pays 97%. the top 10% of wage earners in 09:59:02this country pays 70% of the taxes. now, i'm for a progressive tax system but that's just not right. that seems to me to be taking the country in the wrong direction. there's 750,000 small businesses 09:59:16will get a tax increase if we do not extend the bush tax cuts for everybody. i'll make a prediction. there's a lot of unsolved mysteries in this world, a lot of things that we'd like to know, we don't know the answer to. this is not one of them. what will happen, hopefully next 09:59:32week, is that all bush-era tax cuts will be extended because we have high unemployment and now is not the time to pass on to business or upper-income americans more taxes. and i hope we can extend some o the obama tax cuts. i don't want to raise taxes on 09:59:47anyone. if you don't pay taxes, then you shouldn't be getting a tax cut because you have no tax liability. but if you're in the eitc range where you have some tax liability, the obama tax cuts in the stimulus helped you, i'm one who considers that to be
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN DELIVERS REMARKS ON COVID-19 RESPONSE
FS23 WH REMARKS ON COVID RESPONSE AND VACCINE PROGRAM POOL 3 1255 NBC POOL 132255 BIDEN>> Good afternoon. There are 3 things I want to speak briefly, today, with you all about: the new -- new milestone in our progress against Covid-19 here, at home, steps we're taking to fight Covid internationally, and an important tax cut for families with children under the age of 18. And that's where I'm going to start. Today is Tax Day, when -- when everyone's taxes are due. 132326 No one likes to pay taxes, I know. But as my dad used to say, "It's a small price to live in this country." But I want to tell everyone with children why, as they're filling their taxes to -- filing their taxes today, they should know that a new tax cut will be coming their way, for working class and middle class folks, and very soon. As everyone knows, I firmly believe -- we firmly believe the need to make our tax system work for the middle class. 132355 That's why I think we should ask corporations and the top 1% to start paying their fair share, and why we should crack down on millionaires and billionaires who escape taxes by cheating. But I also think we need to give ordinary families a break, a tax break, to help them with the cost of raising their kids. Most people don't know it but, for families with children, we -- we put that tax cut into the American Rescue Plan, which was signed not long ago. 132425 And I signed the tax cut in the law in March. 90% of the families, all middle class and working class families will get this tax cut. It's a one-year cut that reduces your taxes by $3,000 a year for each child you have under the age of 18. Two kids, it's a $6000 tax cut, and if those kids are under the age of six, you will actually get $3600 per child. So as you file your taxes today, know that your tax cut is coming. 132500 But this -- here's the great news: you won't have to wait until your next year's tax return to get that break. I'm announcing today that, on July 15th and the 15th of every month thereafter, throughout the year, you will get deposited in your bank account half of your tax cut at least, $250 per child each month, a direct deposit into your account. So if you're a working family with two kids, you're gonna get $500 a month into your bank account on the 15th of every month, starting in July. 122535 We're getting -- and we are getting you a tax cut this year now when you need it and not have to wait. And if you get your tax cut refund deposited in your bank account automatically, this tax cut will be put into your account automatically. If not, it will be mailed to you. In addition to helping Americans hardpressed and working families, experts have told us this will cut child poverty in America in half. 132602 This tax cut sends a clear and powerful message to American working -- working families with children: Help is here. Now, let me take -- talk to another milestone in a long battle with Covid. 132617 Today, for the first time since the pandemic began, cases -- pandemic cases are down in all 50 states, first time. That's right. Thanks a lot to the hard work of so many people, Covid cases are down in all 50 states. Now, I can't promise that we'll continue this way. We know there will be advances and setbacks, and we know that there are many flare ups that could occur, but if the unvaccinated get vaccinated, they will protect themselves and other unvaccinated people around them. 132654 If they do not, states with low vaccination rates may see those rates go up, may see this progress reversed. Ultimately, those who are not vaccinated will end up paying the price. The vaccinated will continue to be protected against severe illnesses, but others may not be if you're not vaccinated. 132714 But given that the vaccination is convenient and free, it will be a tragedy if -- and a needless one -- to see Covid cases among those who do not get vaccinated go up. We're not done fighting this virus. We still have tens of millions left to vaccinate, but we are making significant progress. 132735 In fact, when tomorrow's vaccination numbers come out, they'll show that 60% -- 60% of Americans have received at least one shot. Everyday, the light at the end of that tunnel is growing brighter. 132750 This vaccination effort has been a historic logistical achievement for our nation. And I want to thank the scientists and the researchers, the companies manufacturing the vaccines, the National Guard, the US Military, FEMA. the nation's governors, doctors, nurses, pharmacists And I want to thank the American people who have stepped up, and done their patriotic duty and gotten vaccinated. 132816 In less than four month, we've gone from less than 6% to 60% of adults in America with at least one shot. We're seeing the results in live -- and we see the results of people's lives and in their livelihood. Deaths are down from Covid by 81%, and also at their lowest level since April of 2020. As a result of our prompt action to roll out the vaccine and boost the economy, we've gone from stagnation to an economy that is growing faster than it has in nearly 40 years. 132852 We've gone from anemic (?) job creation to a record of creation form more -- for a new administration, none has ever created this many jobs in this time frame. The progress is undeniable, but we're not done yet. And some of the hardest work is ahead. We're still losing too many Americans and we still have too many unvaccinated people in America. Last week, the CDC announced that if you're fully vaccinated, you no longer have to wear a mask. 132922 It reported that science -- the science now shows that your vaccination protects you as well as being masked or better than being masked. So you can protect yourself from serious illness from Covid by getting vaccinated or wearing a mask until you're fully vaccinated. Either way, you're protected. As I said last week, some people may want to continue to wear masks even if they are fully vaccinated. That's a decision they can make. 132951 Some business may want to continue to require wearing masks. Let's all be kind and respectful for one another as we come out of this pandemic, and respect those who want to continue to wear a mask even if they've been vaccinated. Above all, let's work together, though, to meet the target, I've said, of 70% of adults -- all adults with the least one shot by July, the fourth. Seven states have already done this. 133018 Getting vaccinated has never been easier. We are -- 80,000 locations where you can get a shot. 90% of you live within five miles of one of those locations. You can now find a vaccine site near you by texting your zip code 438829. 438829. Your zip code and that number. You'll get all the places near you. Many places don't require an appointment. Just walk in and get the shot. It's free, and everyone 12 years and above is eligible. 133055 If you need help getting your vaccine site ---etting to or from your vaccination site, site Lyft and Uber are offering free rides to take you to the vaccination site and bring you back home between May 24th and July the fourth, to anyone who wants to get vaccinated. And I've called on employers to do their part as well, offering their employees paid time off to get vaccinated. 133128 And we've set up a program nationally to reimburse those businesses for the cost of giving employees the time off. Now, it's time to get your shot. We have the vaccine. We've secured enough supply to vaccinate all adults and children above the age of 12. I repeat, now's the time to get your vaccine shot. Now, over the past 118 days, our vaccinations program has led the world. 133158 And today, we're taking an additional step to help the world. We know America will never be fully safe until the pandemic that's raging globally is under control. No ocean is wide enough, no wall's high enough to keep us safe. Rampant disease and death in other countries can destabilize them, those countries, and pose a risk to us as well. 133223 New variants could arise overseas that could put us at greater risk. And we need to help fight the disease around the world to keep us safe here at home, and to do the right thing of helping other people. It's the right thing to do. It's the smart thing to do. It's the strong thing to do. 133229 In March, we shared over four million doses of our AstraZeneca vaccine with Canada and Mexico. At the end of April, we announced that we would provide another 60 million doses of our AstraZeneca vaccine overseas. Remember, this is the vaccine that's not authorized for use in the United States yet. 133301 So we're gonna be sending it to folks, once the FDA has reviewed this and said, "it's safe." This is all the AstraZeneca vaccine produced in the United States -- all of it will be sent to other countries. And today, I'm announcing that we'll also share US authorized vaccine doses of Pfizer and Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, as they become available, with the rest of the world as well. 133330 These are vaccinations and vaccines that are authorized to be put in arms of Americans and, by the end of June, when we'll have taken delivery of enough of such vaccines to protect everyone in the United States, the United States will share at least 20 million of those doses, that extra supply, with other countries. This means over the next six weeks, the United States of America will send 80 million doses overseas. 133357 That represents 13% of the vaccines produced by the United States by the end of June. This will be more vaccines than any country has actually shared to date, five times more than any other country -- more than Russia and China which have donated 15 million doses. 133417 You know, there's a lot of talk about Russia and China influencing the world with vaccines. We want to lead the world with our values, with this demonstration of our innovation, ingenuity, and the fundamental decency of the American people. Just as in World War II, America was the arsenal of democracy in the battle against COVID-19 pandemic, our nation is going to be the arsenal of vaccines for the rest of the world. We'll share these vaccines in the service of ending the pandemic everywhere. 133449 And we will not use our vaccines to secure favors from other countries. We'll work with COVAX, the international organization set up, and other partners to ensure that the vaccines are delivered in a way that is equitable and that follows the science and the public health data. Today's announcement to share 80 million doses is our next step as we ramp up the efforts to respond to COVID-19 around the world. 133515 In the weeks ahead, working the world -- with the world's democracies, we'll coordinate a multilateral effort to end this pandemic. I expect to announce progress in this area at the G7 Summit in the United Kingdom in June which I plan on attending. This is a unique moment in history, and it requires American leadership. 133537 But I want to be clear: beating this pandemic globally is beyond the capacity of any one nation, even the United States. But we'll continue to -- the United States will continue to donate our excess supply, as that supply is delivered to us, but that won't be nearly enough. We need -- what we need to do is lead an entirely new effort, an effort that involves working with the pharmaceutical companies and others and partner nations to vastly increase supply, to create partic-- most of it here in the United States -- the kind of capacity that can beat this pandemic worldwide in a way that creates jobs here at home and saves lives abroad. 133620 This will take longer than our immediate work to donate from the existing supplies. And we're gonna be asking other nations to help shoulder the economic cost of this effort. But the consequences will be more lasting and more dramatic. Doing this will help us beat the pandemic, and leave us with the manufacturing capacity here to prepare for the next crisis, the next vaccine needed. 133645 I'm putting Jeff Zients, who's leading our Covid team and the Covid efforts to beat the virus here in the United States, in charge of this effort. Jeff will be working with our National Security Council and a talented, dedicated team that has been stood up all across our government. It will include Gayle Smith at the State Department, leading in diplomacy, and experts from our Agency for International Development and the Department of Health and Human Services as well. 133712 We're gonna bring the same whole-of-government response to the global effort that made us so successful here, at home. Again, we have enough -- we -- we, the United States has secured enough supply for all eligible Americans, all Americans 12 years -- 12 years old and older. And we still have work to do, though. Hard work. But because we have done so much here, because of the power of American companies, research, and manufacturing, we can continue to do more to help the rest of the world. This is a rapidly changing world. And it's a mistake to bet against democracies. 133755 Just as democracies led the world in the darkness of World War II, democracy will lead the world out of this pandemic. And America will lead those democracies as they work to bring greater health and hope to the world in the months to come. And folks, think back. Four months ago, four months ago, was audacious goal that we had to put a million shots in the arms in my first 100 days as president. 100 million, I should say. We did over 220 million shots in that time frame. 133830 Back then, most adults weren't eligible to get the shot. Now, everyone 12 years older is eligible. And tomorrow, 60% -- by tomorrow, 60% of all American adults will have received at least one shot. Look at what we've done, look at what we've done, America. Look at what you've done, America. There's not a single thing beyond our capacity to do in this country when we decide to do it and we do it together. 133858 We can do whatever we set our minds to do if we do it together. And that's exactly what we're going to do. Solve the problem here in the United States, which we're well on our way of doing, and help solve the problem for the world by organizing the rest of the democracies of the world. I want to thank you all. God bless you and may God protect our troops. Thank you very much. 133918 Q>> Mr. President, will you -- [inaud] ? Mr. President, will you insist on a ceasefire, given the escalation of violence? Q>> Sir, are you worried about sedition in India, sir? Q>> Mr. President, will you now insist upon a ceasefire, given the escalation in violence we've seen over the weekend? 133932 BIDEN>> I'll be speaking with the Prime Minister in an hour, and I'll be able to talk to you after that. Thank you. Q>> Do you still believe -- you've defended Israel's right to defend itself. Do you still believe its actions are proportionate to what they're facing? 133943 [BIDEN AND HARRIS EXIT, INAUD] #####
UNITED STATES SENATE 1800-1900
The senate convene for a period of morning business. They discuss the White House compromise on the the GW Bush tax cuts. BERNIE SANDERS FILIBUSTER CONTINUES. SEE MARS RECORD FOR TRANSCRIPT. 18:00:02 BERNIE SANDERS but they really want and you would I suspect they will continue to fight for a complete repeal of the estate tax. so just to give you one example -- i don't mean to pick on the walton family, but just as a flesh-and-blood example. 18:00:25salt walton's family -- and the waltons, of course, are the heirs to the wal-mart fortune. they are worth -- and this may 18:00:34be wrong because it's a couple of years old -- but give and take, $86 billion. that's one family, $86 billion. the walton family would receive an estimated $32.7 billion tax break if the estate tax was completely repealed. 18:00:52does anybody in their right mind believe that when this country has a national debt of $13.7 trillion and when we have the highest rate of childhood poverty in the industrialized world and our unemployment rate 18:01:08is 9.8%, can anybody for one second faith only member of the united states -- fathom members of the united states senate saying we want to give a $32 billion tax break to one family? 18:01:22so in terms of the estate tax, what we have done is made it even more regressive. we have given substantial help to exactly the people who need it the least. and that, to me, is not what we should be doing. 18:01:37our job here -- i know it's a radical idea, i admit it -- should be to represent the vast majority of the people in this country, the middle class, the working families of this country, and not just the top 1% or 2%. so under this proposal, this 18:01:54lowering of the estate tax, which will cost our government substantial sums of money because the revenue's not going to come in, this will benefit only the top .3%. and again, if some of my 18:02:15republican colleagues are successful in their desire -- and they're moving down the path -- if we repeal the estate tax entirely which is what they want to do -- i know it's hard to believe and some of the listeners out there think that i am kidding, but i am deadly serious, they want to completely 18:02:32remove the estate tax, which would drive up the national debt by a trillion dollars over a ten-year period. so, mr. president, that is this lowering of estate tax rates and 18:02:48raising the exemption is clearly an onerous -- clearly an onerous provision. and it is not just the walton family of wal-mart who benefits. 18:03:05according to "forbes" magazine, 18:03:09there are 403 billionaires living in this country with a combined net worth of $1.3 trillion. that's not shabby. that's pretty good. 403 billionaires are worth $1.3 trillion. 18:03:22anyone lucky enough to inherit this extraordinary wealth would benefit the most from repealing the estate tax. as robert frank wrote in his book, the wealthiest people in this country accumulated so much 18:03:42wealth that they have been competing to see who could own the largest private yacht, who could own the most private jets, who could own the most expensive cars, jewelry, art work, et cetera. in 1997, for example, leslie 18:03:57wexler, the chairman and c.e.o. of limited brands, the company that owns victoria's secret -- and none of us know what victoria's secret is, i know that -- paid a german ship maker to build what was then the largest private yacht in the 18:04:12united states. it's called the limitless. and there is a photo -- i guess this is the photo. it's a nice boat. it stretches 315 feet and has 3,000 square feet of teak wood 18:04:29and a gym. it's got a gym. according to "forbes" magazine, mr. wexler is one of the 400 richest people in this country worth an estimated $3.2 billion. permanently repealing the estate tax would allow mr. wexler's two children to inherit all of his 18:04:44wealth without paying a nickel to help this country deal with the enormous problems that we have. so i wish mr. wexler -- and i don't know him. i hope he is alive and well and i wish him a long life. but i believe very strongly that 18:05:02in this country, if we are going to see the middle class survive and our kids do well, we cannot repeal the estate tax and we cannot lower estate tax rates. mr. president, i want to get to 18:05:17another issue which i talked about earlier which i think there is some misunderstanding. and i know, mr. president, you raised this issue and i'm glad you did, at a recent meeting that we had. you know, all over the country, 18:05:32people say, isn't it great, we are going to lower the payroll tax on workers? we're going to go from 6.2%, which workers now pay, down 4.2%. people are going to have more money in their pocket, which 18:05:48certainly is a good thing. it's going to cost us $120 billion in social security payroll tax. here's the point. yes, we do want to put more money in workers' pockets. 18:06:03that's why many of us in the stimulus -- in the stimulus package supported a $500 -- it was a $400-a-year tax break for every worker -- virtually every worker in america. that's what we said. we want people in these 18:06:19difficult times to be able to have the money to take care of their families. and when they have that money, to go out spending it. and when they spend it, they create other jobs because people have got to provide goods and services for them. it has a good stimulus impact. yes, we do want workers to have 18:06:36more money in their pockets. but while this idea of lowering the payroll tax sounds like a good idea, in truth, it really is not a good idea. and, mr. president, i don't know if you know this, but this idea originated from very 18:06:54conservative republicans whose intention from the very beginning was to destroy social security by choking off the funds that go to it. and this is not just bernie 18:07:12sanders' analysis. mr. president, there was recently -- and i distributed it recently at a meeting that we held -- a news release that came from the national committee to preserve social security and medicare. 18:07:28and the headline on their press release is, "cutting contributions to social security signals the beginning of the end payroll tax holiday is anything but." and what the national committee to preserve social security and 18:07:45medicare, which is one of the largest senior groups in america, well understands is that there are people out there who want to destroy social security and one way you do that is you divert funds into the social security trust fund and 18:08:02they don't get there. now, what the president and 18:08:06others have said is, not to worry, this is just -- this is just a one-year program, just one year. and, in fact, they say, the general treasury -- the general treasury will pay the 18:08:23difference. so the social security trust fund is not going to lose funding. here's the problem. the problem is that historically, and the reason we have a $2.6 trillion surplus today in social security, the reason why social security is good for the next 29 years to pay out all benefits, is because 18:08:41it comes from the payroll tax, it is not dependent upon the whims of congress and the treasury. now, the president, republicans say well, this is just a one-year program, don't worry. i do worry. i worry that once you establish 18:08:56this one-year payroll tax holiday that next year our republican friends will say, oh, you want to end that? you're going to be raising taxes on workers. and enough people will support that concept. 18:09:11and this one-year payroll tax holiday will become permanent. and when you do that, you're going to be choking off over a period of years trillions of dollars that we need to make sure that social security is viable and is there for our kids and our grandchildren. 18:09:30but don't listen to me, listen to somebody who knows a lot more about this issue than i do. barbara kennelly is the -- a former congresswoman from connecticut. she's the president and c.e.o. of the national committee to 18:09:46preserve social security and medicare. and this is what barbara kennelly says. she is -- quote -- "even though social security contributed nothing to the current economic crisis, it has been bartered in 18:10:01a deal that provides deficit-busting tax cuts for the wealthy. diverting $120 billion in social security contributions for a so-called tax holiday may sound like a good deal for workers now 18:10:19but it's bad business for the program that a majority of middle-class seniors will rely upon in the future." end of quote, barbara kennelly. the headline "cutting contributions to social security 18:10:32signals the beginning of the end." this is not a good approach. providing and figuring out a way that we can get more money into the hands of working people, as we did in the stimulus package, does make a lot of sense. 18:10:52going forward with a payroll tax holiday is a backdoor method to end up breaking social security, and it's not anything that we 18:11:06should support. mr. president, let me just mention and quote from a gentleman who understands this issue very, very well and he understands the politics of what's going on here. his name is bruce bartlett. 18:11:22he is a former top advisor for presidents reagan and george h.w. bush. and he recently wrote the following in opposition to this payroll tax cut. and this is what mr. bartlett 18:11:40wrote "what are the odds that republicans will ever allow" -- ever allow -- "this one-year tax holiday to expire? they wrote the bush tax cuts with explicit expiration dates 18:11:58and then when it came time" -- right now -- "for the law they wrote to take effect exactly as they wrote it, they said any failure to extend them permanently would constitute the biggest tax increase in history. 18:12:15if allowing the bush tax cuts to expire is the biggest tax cut in history, one that republicans claim would decimate a still fragile economy, then surely expiration of a payroll tax 18:12:32holiday would also constitute a massive tax increase on the working people of america. republicans" -- this is brute bartlett who i'm -- bruce bartlett who i'm quoting, a 18:12:47former advisor to president reagan and the first president bush -- "republicans who would wish to destroy social security's finances or permanently fund it with general revenues switch the revenue base from the payroll tax to general revenues than allow a once 18:13:04suspended payroll tax to be 18:13:07imposed. arch social security hater peter ferraro once told me --" and again, this is bruce bartlett, former advisor to president reagan and bush one -- "peter ferraro once told me that funding it with general revenues was part of his plan to destroy 18:13:23it by converting social security into a welfare program rather than an earned benefit. he was right." in other words, what this issue is about is breaking the bonds that we've had since the 18:13:40inception of social security, where social security was paid for -- paid for -- by workers, you pay for it when you're working and you get the benefits when you're old. that's the deal. there is no federal money coming in from the general treasury. and this gentleman, 18:13:59mr. bartlett, thinks, and i suspect he is quite right, that -- that this is the beginning of an effort to destroy social security. and i would say that social security -- you know, the real debate about social security, 18:14:16mr. president, is not one about finances. there has been a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there. i hear from some of my friends on the republican side that social security is going bankrupt, it's not going to be 18:14:31there for our kids, and that is absolutely not true. social security today has a $2.6 trillion surplus. social security can pay out every benefit owed to every eligible american, if we don't 18:14:48start diverting funds for the next 29 years, at which point it pays out about 79% of benefits. so our challenge in 29 years is to fill that 22% gap. that's it. can we do it? sure, we can. president obama, when he was campaigning -- and i think has repeated since -- a very good 18:15:05suggestion that instead of having a cap in terms of which people contribute into the fund at $106,000, what we should do is do a bubble, go up to $250,000, and people -- $people who make $250,000 or more should 18:15:23contribute into the social security trust fund. if you did that and nothing else, you have essentially solved the social security problem for the next 75 years. very easy, it is done. so what this payroll tax holiday 18:15:39is doing in my view is pretty dangerous. i don't think enough people understand that, and i think that is one of the strong reasons why this agreement should be opposed. now, mr. president, another 18:15:55reason that i believe that this agreement is not as good an agreement as we can get is that it provides tens and tens of billions of dollars in tax cuts for various types of businesses. 18:16:11and i'm not here to say that these tax cuts cannot do some good. i suspect that they can. but i think there is a lot better way to create the jobs 18:16:25that we need than providing these particular business tax cuts. frankly, i think economists from almost all political spectrums, conservative to progressive, understand that if we are serious about creating the kinds 18:16:45of jobs that this economy desperately needs, and if we want to do that as rapidly and as cost-effectively as we possibly can, the way to do that 18:16:59is not to provide business tax cuts, because right now, right now corporate america is sitting on close to $2 trillion cash on hand. they have a ton of money. the problem is that the products that they are creating are not 18:17:16being bought by the american people because the american people don't have the money to buy those goods and services. so if we are serious, mr. president, in creating the 18:17:29jobs that we need, i think that what we have got to do is start making significant investments in our crumbling infrastructure, and that is -- that is rebuilding our bridges, our 18:17:48roads, our water systems, broadband, cell phone service, public transportation, our rail system, dams in every single one of these areas. we are seeing our infrastructure 18:18:04crumbling, and the point is that 18:18:06if you simply ignore a crumbling infrastructure -- and i say this as a former mayor who dealt with this issue -- if you simply ignore a crumbling infrastructure, you know what? it doesn't get better all by itself. 18:18:21and i know many mayors and governors would very much like to think that they can turn their backs on the infrastructure. it's not a sexy investment. it's not a sexy investment. but the reality is that if you don't pay attention to it today, 18:18:38it only gets worse and it costs you more money. it's like having a cavity. you can get your cavity filled. you neglect it, as i have, and you end up doing root canal, far more painful, far more expensive. that's what it's about. do we maintain our 18:18:57infrastructure? clearly, we are not. according to the american society of civil engineers, we should be spending about about $2.2 trillion in the next five years in order to maintain our infrastructure. 18:19:13i don't know about alaska, i don't know. i spent a very brief time in your beautiful state, but i do know that in vermont, we have bridges all over our state that are in desperate need of repair. it is fair to say the stimulus 18:19:31package has been very, very positive in my state. we spent a lot of money on roads and bridges, but we have a long, long way to go. we're putting money into roads and bridges, we're hiring people to do that work, that's what we should be doing all over the country. 18:19:45but, mr. president, it is not just roads and bridges. it is water systems. i told the story i guess a few hours ago now about a mayor, the mayor of rutland, vermont, which is the second largest city in the state, and i was in his office and he showed me a pipe. 18:20:03and the pipe was in pretty bad shape. he said, you know, this pipe was laid by an engineer, who then after he did this went off to war. he said what war do you think he went off to fight? 18:20:17he said it was the civil war, the civil war. so this was pipe laid in rutland, vermont, which is still being used which was laid i'm guessing in the 1950's, maybe -- 18:20:35in the 1850's, maybe 1860's. we have to spend $50 million, 20 years ago, rebuilding our waste water plant and making sure that a lot of pollution and filthy water didn't get into our 18:20:48beautiful lake, lake champlain. it's an expensive proposition. but right now we are going to have to invest in that. it's our water systems, our dams, our levees, our roads, our bridges. i mentioned earlier -- i mentioned earlier and contrasted 18:21:09what was going on in infrastructure in the united states as opposed to china, and i quote interested a book called third world america written by 18:21:24arianna huffington who tells us, essentially, that if we don't get our act together, that's what we will become, a third world. and she points out that compared to countries like china, our investments in rail is 18:21:43absolutely pathetic and inadequate. in china right now, that country is investing billions and billions of dollars in high-speed rail, building 18:21:57thousands and thousands of miles of high-speed rail. they are buildingver 100 new airports, and what are we doing? so, mr. president, one of my many objections to the proposal struck between the president and the republican leadership is i 18:22:13think we can do better in job creation than in business tax cuts. there is a time and a place for business tax cuts, and i am not against them, but i would say that at this particular moment in american history, in this particular moment, it makes a 18:22:31lot more sense to create over a period of years millions of jobs rebuilding our rail system, our subways, our roads, our bridges and our water systems and many other aspects of our infrastructure. there are places in vermont and throughout this country where 18:22:49people cannot today get decent quality broadband service, can't get cell phone service. in that area, we are behind many other countries, not wealthy countries around the world. 18:23:05when we make those investments in infrastructure, we not only create jobs, but we make our country stronger and more productive, and we enable ourselves to compete effectively in the international economy. mr. president, another one of my 18:23:24objections to this proposal, and why i think we can do a lot better is that i was really quite disturbed to hear that the president and others who would 18:23:40defend this proposal talk about one of the --quote, unquote -- compromises that was struck was to extend unemployment benefits for 13 months. now, to my mind, as i've said earlier, at a time of deep 18:23:55recession, at a time of horribly high unemployment, it would be absolutely wrong and immoral for us to turn our backs on the millions of workers who are about to lose their unemployment benefits. 18:24:10if we do that, it's hard to imagine what happened to those families, for many of whom this is their only source of income. what do they do? do they lose their homes? do they move out onto the streets? do they -- how do they take care of their kids? 18:24:26i don't know. there are parts of this country where it is very, very hard to get a job. extended unemployment is at the highest level we have ever seen. you can't turn your backs on those families. but i get upset when i hear that the republicans' willingness to 18:24:45support an extension of unemployment benefits for 13 months is a major compromise. i would tell you, mr. president, i think a lot of the american people don't know this, that for the past 40 years, 40 years, 18:25:00four decades, under both democratic and republican administrations, whenever the unemployment rate has been above 7.2%, above 7.2% unemployment -- and today we're at 9.8%, always, 18:25:18whether the democrats were in control or the republicans were in control, the president was democrat, the president was republican, what people did is say we have got to extend unemployment benefits. 18:25:31it's kind of common sense, it's not partisan. so when you have a program that has existed for 40 years in a bipartisan effort, it sounds to me that it is not much of a compromise for the republicans to say okay, we will do what democrats and republicans have 18:25:46done for 40 years. what a major compromise. it is not a compromise. it is just continuing existing bipartisan policy which is sensible. it's sensible from a moral perspective. you can't leave fellow american 18:26:02families out high and dry, and it is good economics because what the economists tell us is the people who will spend that money quickest are people who receive unemployment compensation because that's all they have got. they're going to go out and they 18:26:17are going to buy, and when they buy from the neighborhood store, they create jobs. so it's good economics and it is the moral thing to do, but frankly, mr. president, in my view, this is not much of a compromise. 18:26:32this is just continuing four decades of existing policies. mr. president, as i've said 18:26:50earlier, there are very clearly positive parts of this agreement. no question about it. i think almost every american will tell you that it would be totally absurd -- i know there 18:27:04are some who disagree, but i think the vast majority of americans believe that in the time when the middle class is collapsing, when median family income has gone down, when unemployment is high, that it would be a real horror show if we did not extend the bush tax 18:27:24breaks for the middle class who are 98% of the american people. 98%. that's what we want. you know, we could have crafted it much tighter, couldn't we? we could have said nobody above 18:27:39above $100,000, nobody above above $150,000. that's pretty generous. we said a family earning earning $250,000 should get an extension of these tax breaks. that is 98% of the american 18:27:57people. that's not good enough for our republican friends. they are fighting tooth and nail 18:28:04to make sure that the top 2%, the millionaires and billionaires, the c.e.o.'s earn tens of millions a year. they are fighting. it's like they're at war. they are so engaged to make sure 18:28:20that these fabulously wealthy people receive at least a million dollars -- in some cases for people who are making a million a year, they are going to receive on average, on average, $100,000 a year in taxx 18:28:38breaks. for the very, very wealthiest, it could be over a million dollars a year. mr. president, i know you joined me just two days ago in saying that at a time when senior citizens in this country and disabled vets for two years in a row have not received any cola, 18:28:52that maybe it was the right thing to do because we know that health care costs and prescription drug costs are soaring, that maybe we provide a a $250 check to those seniors 18:29:08and disabled veterans one time, one time. i could not get one republican vote in support of that proposition. we won 53-45, but around here it doesn't take 50 votes to win -- 18:29:26it doesn't take a majority to win, it takes 60 votes, we couldn't get one republican vote. so here you have every republican voting against a $250 check for a disabled vet or a senior citizen who is living on on $15,000, $16,000 a year. 18:29:43can't afford it, but we can afford a $1 million a year tax break for somebody who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. now, somebody may understand that rationale. i don't, i really don't. i can't understand that. 18:29:58i can't understand asking our kids and grandchildren to pay more in taxes as the national debt goes up in order to provide tax breaks for the richest people in this country. so, mr. president, while there 18:30:14are some good provisions in this bill, and certainly extending the tax breaks for 98% of our people, for the broad, very broad middle class, i think if 18:30:31the american people demand it in our democracy, we can do better. now i don't know if you or i alone will be able to convince some of our republican friends 18:30:46or maybe some of our democratic friends to make this into the kind of proposal we need for the working families and for our children, for our next generation. 18:31:00i don't know if we can do it inside this beltway. as i said earlier, i think that the way we win this battle, the way we defeat this proposal and come back with a much better proposal is when millions of americans start writing and e-mailing and calling their 18:31:18senators, their congress people and say, wait a second, are you nuts? do you really think that millionaires and billionaires need a huge tax break at a time when this country has a $13.7 trillion national debt? 18:31:35what are you smoking? how could you for one second think that makes any sense whatsoever. i tell you, mr. president -- i don't know what my phones are doing in my office right now, but in the last three days i'm guessing 5,000 phone calls and 18:31:54e-mails, and about 99% of them are in disagreement with that -- with this proposal. i'm looking at a chart here, and we've got 2,100 calls that just 18:32:13came in, i'm informed today. i don't know what kind of calls other members of the senate are getting, but certainly those are the calls that i am getting. now, also, mr. president, and this point cannot be made 18:32:30strongly enough. what our republican friends want to do -- and they have been pretty honest and upfront, especially the extreme right-wing people who have been running for office and in some 18:32:45cases have won. they have been honest enough to say that they want to bring this country back to where we were in the 1920's, that their ultimate aim is the basic repeal of almost all the provisions that 18:33:00have been passed in the last 70 18:33:03years to protect working people, the elderly and the children. they believe in a darwinan style society in which you have the survival of the fittest, that we 18:33:16are not a society which comes together to take care of all of us. you take care of me in need and i take care of you in need and your family in that we are one people. and their strategy is pretty clear, i think. they want to ultimately destroy 18:33:35social security. and what we are beginning to hear more and more of is why don't we raise the retirement age to 68 or 69. that deficit-reduction commission which i thought the 18:33:49people on that commission were bad appointees by the president. you could have put together some good economists to say how do we in a fair way -- in a fair way -- address the deficit and national debt crisis. that wasn't what that commission 18:34:04did. these folks are talking about major cuts in social security, medicare, medicaid. they want, at a time when it is so hard for young people to afford to go to college, they want to raise the cost by asking 18:34:20our young people while they're in college to be accruing the interest on their loans. so i think that if the president believes that if this agreement is passed, that the republicans 18:34:35are going to come to the table and we're all going to live happily in the future. we're going to all work together in a nonpartisan way. i think he's not understanding the reality. these people are going to come back, and they're going to come 18:34:52back very aggressively for major cuts in social security, medicare, medicaid, education, child care, pell grants, you name it, because their belief is -- i don't quite understand it -- that it is somehow good public policy to give tax breaks 18:35:08for the wealthiest people in this country who in many ways have never had it so good while you cut programs that the middle class and working families of this country desperately depend upon. 18:35:23so i would suggest that this big debate we're having right now on whether or not we should accept the proposal agreed to by the president and the republicans is just the beginning, just the beginning of what's coming down the pike. and if we surrender now on this issue, we can expect next month 18:35:42and the following month another governmental crisis, another threat of a shutdown unless they get their way. so i think rather than asking the working families of this country to have to compromise, instead of asking our kids to 18:35:59pay more taxs to bail out billionaires, maybe -- i know this is a radical idea, but maybe we should ask a handful of our republican friends to join us. 18:36:14maybe a handful of honest conservatives over there who have been telling us for years their great concerns about deficit spending and a huge national debt. maybe they should be prepared to vote against a proposal which raises the national debt and our 18:36:34deficit by giving tax breaks to some of the richest people in the world. now, i, quite frankly, don't think that i'm going to be able to convince them. i don't know that you're going to be able to convince. but you know who i think can 18:36:49convince them? inch their constituents can convince them. i think the american people can convince them. i said earlier that if the american people stand up that we can defeat this proposal and that we can create a much, much 18:37:05better proposal. clearly we must extend tax breaks for the middle class. clearly we must make sure that unemployed workers continue to get the benefits that they 18:37:21desperately need. but equally clearly, we must make sure that we are not raising the national debt, which as shaopb as i'm standing -- as sure as i'm standing here will 18:37:36result in cuts, social security, medicaid, medicare, education, other programs by passing -- if this proposal is passed. mr. president, this is not only an important proposal unto itself -- $900 billion-plus even 18:37:56in washington is nothing to sneeze at -- but it is an 18:38:01important proposal in terms of the direction in which our country goes into the future. if we accept this proposal of a two-year extension for the richest people in america, i believe that will evenly become 18:38:17either a long-term extension or a permanent extension. if we accept the proposal that lowers the rates on the estate tax which benefits only the top .3%, 99% of americans get 18:38:39nothing. but if we give them what they want, i believe that over a period of years it will lead to the complete abolition and ending of the estate tax which will cost us $1 trillion over a ten-year period. 18:38:52so i would hope that this issue is not one that just progresses. i would hope that honest conservatives who in their heart of hearts believe that this country is seriously in danger 18:39:11when we have unsustainable deficits and a huge national debt that they will tell their officials here in washington not to pass a piece of legislation which increases the national debt significantly and in fact 18:39:26will allow for the permanent over years, in my view, extension of these tax breaks. that is what this debate is about. it is about, fundamentally whether we continue the process 18:39:45by which the richest people in this country become richer at a time when we have the most unequal distribution of income and wealth of any major country on earth. 18:39:58as i said earlier, mr. president, this is not an issue that is discussed. i don't know -- well, i do know why. it is just not an issue that people feel comfortable about because they don't want to give 18:40:15a front to wealthy campaign contributions. contributors will take on the lobbyists that are out there. that is the reality. throughout the entire world the united states has the most unequal distribution of income. top 1% earning 23.5% of all income. 18:40:31that, mr. president, is more than the bottom 50%. and that is not just immoral. it is bad economics. because if the middle-class gets crushed entirely, who is going to be buying the tkpwaopdz and 18:40:50services pro -- the goods and services produced in this economy. this piece of legislation, as important as it is unto itself -- and it is very, very important -- is equally important in terms of what it 18:41:04says about where we are going into the future. are we going to protect the middle class and working families of our country? are we going to make sure that every young native american america, regardless of -- every 18:41:22young person in america regardless of income has the ability to go to college or are we going to allow college to become unaffordable for young people or else force them to leave school deeply in debt? 18:41:35are we going to create a health care system which guarantees health care to all of our people -- high-quality health care -- or are we going to continue a situation where 18:41:5245,000 americans die each year because they don't have access to a doctor? are we going to invest in our energy system so that we break our dependence on foreign oil? we spend about $350 million a year importing oil from saudi 18:42:11arabia and other foreign countries. almost $1 billion a day which should be used to make this country energy independent, which should be used to transform our energy system away 18:42:28from fossil fuel into energy efficiency and technology such as wind solar, geothermal and biomass. mr. president, by the way, none of that has been addressed, as i 18:42:43understand it, in this proposal. so my point here is not just that this proposal is a bad proposal as it stands before us now. but it is going to move us in the future in a direction that i do not believe this country 18:42:59should be going. i mentioned earlier that my own personal family's history is the history of millions and millions of americans. my father, as it happened, came to this country at the age of 17 without a nickel in his pocket, 18:43:16worked hard his whole life, never made very much money. but he and my mom -- my mom graduated high school, she never went to college. but they had the satisfaction, a very significant satisfaction 18:43:33knowing their kids got a college education. my older brother larry went to law school and i graduated from the university of chicago. i think what's going on in this country and why the anxiety level is so high is not just that people are worrying about 18:43:50themselves. parents worry more about their kids than they do about themselves. and what parents are sitting around and worrying about now is they're saying will for the first time in the modern history of this country, my kids have a lower standard of living than 18:44:06their parents? will my kids earn less income? will me kids not have the opportunity to travel and learn and grow as i have done? are the best days of america behind us? that's really what the question is about. 18:44:23and i don't think that has to be the case. but i will tell you as i mentioned earlier, if we were going to change the national priorities in this country, if we're going to start devoting our energy and attention to the 18:44:38needs of working families and the middle class, we've got to defeat this proposal, we've got to defeat similar types of proposals which come down the pike. when this country has a $13.7 trillion national debt, it is 18:44:55insane to be talking about huge tax breaks for people who don't need them. as i mentioned earlier, ironically you've got a lot of these millionaires out there who apparently love their country 18:45:10more than some of the people in this chamber. you have some of the richest people in america -- bill gates and all the charitable work he does; warren buffet, and many others who say you know what? i'm doing fine. i'm a billionaire, i'm a 18:45:24multibillionaire, i don't need your tax break. i'm worried about the high rate of childhood pforts, a.m. worried about the infrastructure crumb manying, i am worried bel americans dying this year without access to health care. 18:45:42i'm about global warming. invest in transforming our energy system. these are patriotic americans. they're rich. they love their country. and now what they are saying to us is we don't even want it. we are giving people money who in some cases don't even want 18:45:57it. and i know -- i do know that there are others out there who do. and i think, mr. president, if there is one issue that we as a congress and as a government have got to address, and that is 18:46:13the administered level of greed in this country. we have got to stand tall and draw a line in the sand and simply say, enough is enough. how much do you want? 18:46:28how much do you need? how many yachts can you own? how many homes can you have? isn't it enough that the top 1% now earns 23.5% of the income in 18:46:45this country? how much more do they want? do they want 30%, 35%? isn't it enough that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90%? 18:46:59how much more do they need? mr. president, i mentioned earlier when i talked about the situation that got us into this horrendous recession, and that is the collapse of wall street, and i talked about what i think 18:47:16most americans understand very well, and that is the incredible greed and recklessness and dishonesty that exists on wall street. we must not allow ourselves to encourage and continue the kinds 18:47:37of greed that we have seen in recent years. it is an abomination that the people who caused this economic crisis, the worst recession since the great depression, that the people who caused it on wall 18:47:53street are now earning more 18:47:57money, more money than they did before we bailed them out. earlier today, i was reading some e-mails that came to my office from vermonters who are 18:48:12struggling to keep their heads above water. and they were just terribly painful and poignant stories about honest and good and decent people who are now choosing about whether or not they should 18:48:26put gas in their car or buy thed into they need or buy the prescription drugs they need, not just a vermont story; it is an american story. and that is the reality out there for tens of millions of americans. so in my view, we can negotiate 18:48:45a much better agreement than the one that president obama and the republican leader did. there are some good parts of that agreement which obviously should be retained and perhaps even strengthened. 18:49:00and those include, of course, making sure that we extend unemployment benefits to those who need it and of course that we extend tax breaks for the middle class. and there are other -- some other very good provision flz 18:49:16there that i think are very worthwhile. but i think if the american people stand up and agree with those of us who say, no more tax breaks for the very wealthiest people in this country, we can defeat this proposal and we can come up with a much better one 18:49:33that is fairer to the middle class of this country and is fairer to our young children. i do not want to see our young kids -- my children, my grandchildren -- have a lower 18:49:48standard of living than their parents. that's not what america is b so, madam president, what i think we've got to do is defeat this proposal. i think we have got to urge our fellow americans to stand up and say "no" to tax breaks for those 18:50:07who don't need it. i think we have got to work in a very serious way about creating the millions and millions of good-paying jobs that this country desperately needs. 18:50:21i personally believe that far more effective approach than giving the variety of business taxes that were in this proposal at a time when corporate america is sitting on $2 million of unused cash -- they've got the money -- i think a much better 18:50:37approach, as i said earlier, is investing in our crumbling infrastructure. i think that makes us healthier and stronger as a nation for the future and in the global economy, and i think it creates jobs quicker and in a more cost-effective way than these 18:50:54tax cuts. i think also, madam president, that it is high time -- high time that the american people move -- they want us to move in 18:51:10an entirely new direction in terms of trade. i am always amazed how republicans and democrats alike -- i speak as the longest-serving independent in congress -- come election time i 18:51:26see these ads on television, oh, we've got to do something about outsourcing, we've got to do something about our trade policy. but somehow the day after that election when corporate america continues to throw american workers out on the street and moves to china, moves to other low-wage countries, somehow that 18:51:45discussion seases to competents -- ceases to exist and that legislation never seems to appear. so it seems to me, madam president, that we have got to defeat this proposal that in defeating this proposal we're 18:52:02going to tell the american people that there are at least some of us here, some of us here, who understand what our jobs and our obligations are, and that is that we are supposed to represent them, the middle 18:52:20class of this country, and not just wealthy campaign contributors or bow to the interests of the lobbyists who are all over this place. madam president, when i talked a 18:52:35moment ago about the need to invest in our infrastructure as a way to create jobs being more cost-effective than some of these business tax breaks, i'm looking right now at a "wall street journal" article, 18:52:52december 9, 2010, and here's 18:52:57what the article says. "companies" -- headlined "companies cling to cash." the headline "companies cling to carchlt" "coffers swell to 51-year high as cautious firms 18:53:12put off investing in growth." a story by justin laheart. here les the story. he makes the point that i have been trying to express her. "corporate america's cash pile 18:53:27has hit its highest level in half a century. rather than pouring their money into building plants or hiring workers, nonfinancial companies in the united states were sitting on $1.93 trillion in 18:53:47cash" -- i said $2 trillion. i stand corrected. $1.93 trillion in cash and other assets at the end of the september, up from $1.8 trillion at the end ever june, the federal reserve said thursday. 18:54:00cash accounted 7.4% of the companies' total assetted, the largest share since 1959. the cash buildup shows the deep caution many companies feel about investing in expansion while the economic recovery 18:54:17remains painfully slow and high unemployment and household finances continue to limit consumers' ability to spend." well what have we been talking about all afternoon? this is the "wall street 18:54:33journal," frankly not my favorite paper. but that's what they are saismg the way you are going to get the economy moving again is to put money in the hand of working people who will then go out and buy the goods and services that these companies produce. 18:54:50i have my doubts about whether or not these tax breaks will in fact have the desired result, but, as i said earlier and will say again, i think the most effective way to create jobs, 18:55:06the most important way to create jobs, is to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. and that is our roads, our bridges, our rail systems, our water systems, our waste water plants, our dams, our leaf vies visas, the need to -- our leaf 18:55:23veerks the need to improve broadband, to make sure every community in america has access to good-quality broadband, has access to cell phone service. unfortunately, as best as i can understand, there has not been one nickel -- one nickel 18:55:44appropriated in this piece of legislation, this proposed legislation, which would go to infrastructure improvements. 18:55:57so, madam president, i think that this proposal should be defeated because it is not a strong proposal for the middle class. it is a proposal which gives much too much to people who 18:56:12don't need it. and it is a proposal which i think sets the stage for similar type proposals down the pike. and i apologize to anyone who has been listening for any 18:56:28length of time -- and i know that i've been, to say the least, a by the repetitious, but the concern here is that when the president and some of my republican colleagues talk about some of these tsm breaks being "temporary," we're just going to 18:56:45extend hem for two years, talking about this payroll tax holiday being just one year, i've been in washington long enough to know that that assertion just doesn't fly. that what is temporary today is long-term tomorrow and is permanent the next day. 18:57:02so i fear very much that this proposal is bad on the surface. i fear very much that this proposal will lead us down a very bad track in terms of more trickle-down economics, which 18:57:18benefits the tricklers and not the ordinary americans. i think that it is a proposal which should be defeated. but, madam president, the point that i want to make is that it is not just my poifnlt i think 18:57:35it should be defeated. i think we can do a lot better. but i've got to tell you that the calls that are coming in to my office are -- hears wha we got today, i guess. 18:57:552k,122 calls oppose the deal. and i think 100 calls are supportive of the deal. so you can do the arithmetic on it. but that is at least 95% of the calls that i got today are 18:58:09saying this is not a good deal. we can do better. i note that in the last three or four days we have gotten probably now 6,000 or 7,000 calls that say this. and this is not just vermont. and some -- many of those calls come from out of state, by the 18:58:24way, not just from vermont. but i think that is true all over this country. so, madam president, let me conclude -- and it has been a long day. let me simply say that i believe 18:58:43the proposal that was developed by the president and the republicans are nowhere near as good as we can achieve. i don't know that we are able ourselves to get the handful of 18:58:56republicans that we need to say "no" to this agreement. but i do believe that if the american people stand uppedz -- and by the way, it may not be just republicans, there may be some democrats as well -- if the american people stand up and say, we can do better than this, 18:59:12that we don't need to drive up the national debt by giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires, that if the american people are prepared to stand -- and we're prepared to follow them -- i think we can defeat this proposal, i think we 18:59:27can come up with a better proposal which better reflects the needs of the middle-class and working families of our country and to me, most importantly, the children of our country. and with that, madam president, i would yield the floor. 18:59:55A SENATOR:i suggest the absence of a quorum. 18:59:58THE PRESIDING OFFICER:the clerk will call the roll.

CNN: STATE OF THE UNION 0900
CNN State of the Union. SLUGGED: 0900 CNN RS35 71 AR: 16X9 DISC# SPEAKERS: CANDY CROWLEY, HOST SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, R-ARIZ. REP. DAVID R. OBEY, D-WIS. SEN. BYRON L. DORGAN, D-N.D. FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH FORMER FLORIDA GOVERNOR JEB BUSH (+) CROWLEY: Before it is in with the new, it is back to the old. The final weeks of the 111th Congress. After giving thanks, Democrats and Republicans return to show if there is give anywhere else. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Next week, I've invited the leadership of both parties to the White House for a real and honest discussion. The election is over. We've got to find places where we can agree. (END VIDEO CLIP) CROWLEY: The list of unfinished business is long and the expectations minimal. The premiere domestic item is what to do about tax cuts due to expire on every tax-payer at end of December. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) OBAMA: The only place where we disagree is whether we can afford to also borrow $700 billion to pay for an extra tax cut for the wealthiest Americans, for millionaires and billionaires. I don't think we can afford to right now. (END VIDEO CLIP) CROWLEY: This week, it may not feel like the election is over. Today, as the lame duck Congress takes on tough issues like tax cuts and "Don't Ask/Don't Tell, we are joined by Senator John McCain. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) MCCAIN: The president should not make decisions where we're sending young men and women into harm's way based on political consideration. (END VIDEO CLIP) CROWLEY: And departing Democrats, Congressman David Obey and Senator Byron Dorgan. Then President George Bush and his brother, Jeb Bush, on family and the holidays. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) GEORGE W. BUSH, 43RD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We're a very close-knit group of people and it was fun to watch... CROWLEY: Do you talk politics in those family gatherings? G.W. BUSH: Not much. No, not really. I mean, by the time Christmas came around, I was looking for a break from politics. (END VIDEO CLIP) CROWLEY: I'm Candy Crowley, and this is STATE OF THE UNION. Joining me now here in Washington, Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, on your maiden voyage here on the show with me. So thanks for joining us. MCCAIN: Thank you, Candy. CROWLEY: Before we get to domestic policy, I want to talk to you about North Korea. Try to give our audience some perspective on how dangerous this is. And I ask because it seems to me we go through this periodically. All of the sudden North Korea, you know, tests a missile, fires into South Korean at least water territory. Is this any more dangerous than anything in the past? And what does that mean to the average American? 09:02:26 MCCAIN: Well, I think it's probably more dangerous in that the North Koreans have enhanced capability, both missile and nuclear capability. But it's also a lesson that continued appeasement of North Korea, which we've been doing basically under Republican and Democrat administrations since 1994, with the "agreed upon framework," we've given the North Koreans over $1 billion worth of aid and assistance in the last 15 years or so, and based on the premise that we would all get together and negotiate. It seems the purpose of everything is to get the North Koreans to the table. The North Koreans' only claim to their position on the world stage is their nuclear capability. And they have a terrible, most repressive, oppressive regime in the world. They have hundreds of thousands of people in slave labor camps. And all of that seems to be sacrificed in the altar of, quote, "negotiations." So long ago, we should have put a significant pressures on the North Koreans. Even in the Bush administration we freed up a $25 million bank account and took them off the terrorist list. CROWLEY: But they've been sort of immune to... 09:03:40 MCCAIN: So could I just finally say, the key to this, obviously, is China. And unfortunately China is not behaving as a responsible world power. It cannot be in China's long-term interest to see a renewed conflict on the Korean Peninsula. We've got to understand that China is not what we want it to be, but is not playing a responsible role on the world stage, much less in -- on the Korean Peninsula. They could bring the North Korean economy to its knees if they wanted to. And I cannot believe that the Chinese should, in a mature fashion, not find it in their interest to restrain North Korea. So far, they are not. CROWLEY: You have called it what North Korea has done as unacceptable. You have called on China to react strongly. They have said, let's get the group of six together, not for talks on nuclear -- on North Korea's nuclear capability, but about this, let's have an emergency meeting. Is that a good first step? 09:04:48 MCCAIN: I think it would be a fine first step. But does -- do we really think that there has been -- that this long history of confrontation that the North Koreans have practiced is going to come to a halt without significant penalties on North Korea? CROWLEY: From China. MCCAIN: I think it's time we -- yes. I think it's time we talked about regime change in North Korea, and I do not mean military action, but I do believe that this is a very unstable regime. They're now passing on to -- from the "dear leader" to what we call him the "sweet leader," whatever it is, 27-year-old four-star general. So, but, and we can, we can have a peaceful resolution to this issue. But the North Korean regime is not one that's going to abandon the nuclear power status. They are now seeking recognition from us that they are a nuclear nation. That's not in our interests. CROWLEY: I want to move on to Afghanistan, but to button this up, would you... MCCAIN: Just one other thing. The Chinese -- now the United States is engaged in military operations with South Korea in the Yellow Sea. The Chinese have claimed the Yellow Sea as a special economic zone. We have to understand that China is not behaving in a responsible fashion as a world power, and we have to make adjustments to our policies regarding China. CROWLEY: And just to button this up, are we on the verge -- is the Korean Peninsula on the verge of war or is this something that is more long-term problem? 09:06:10 MCCAIN: I think if past behavior holds true, the North Koreans will walk up to the edge and then step back and try to get more concessions and more money and more economic aid, and more jobs for North Koreans sponsored by South Korea. I'm not sure that the South Koreans are going to go along this time. CROWLEY: Let me ask you about Afghanistan. New report out, the one that they give twice a year, they called military and security gains "fragile." They said, "the efforts to reduce insurgency capacity in Pakistan has not produced measurable success." They said, "the Taliban has sufficient capability and support to pose a threat to the viability of the government, and if the security situation erodes," that quickly the security will erode -- "quickly the stability in the region will erode." We've been there nine years. At this point isn't it a legit question to say, you know, can we really do this? Because it seems to grow worse. MCCAIN: I think that's why we're going to have an assessment next month in December, as you know. I just came back with Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman. We have made significant military successes. In the clear and hold area, we have been making -- thanks to General Petraeus and the brave young men and women who are serving. We are making great... CROWLEY: Well, it doesn't sound like we're making progress. 09:07:20 MCCAIN: We are. I mean, I don't have any doubt that we are in that area. There are two major problems right now. One of them is corruption at the highest levels of government. They have a corrupt attorney general. This latest business about the elections is really unacceptable. And a sanctuary in Pakistan, the Pakistanis are still -- and the armed military with the ISI are still having businesses with the -- cooperating with the Haqqani network and other Taliban elements within Afghanistan. You cannot allow the enemy sanctuary. These are significant problems. And they need to be... CROWLEY: And they've been significant problems, though, for years. So you've got to kind of wonder, are we ever going to make a dent in this? And let me just ask as a last part of this, does a 2014 agreed upon deadline for the removal of combat troops by both NATO and the U.S. forces, is that helping? MCCAIN: It's a dramatic improvement over the 2011 date that the president had been sponsoring, which was an enormous impediment to progress because people were adjusting to us leaving in 2011. I'm very happy to see 2014. 09:08:30 Let me just say, if it wasn't a corrupt government, if we didn't have the trouble with Pakistan that we have, things would be a lot better in Afghanistan. And remember it has only been since the president announced at West Point that we would really increase the number of troops there, and General Petraeus's appointment, with all due respect to General McChrystal, that we have really started to make some improvements. We cannot afford for Afghanistan to return to being a base for attacks on the United States of America. And we should never forget that. And finally, could I just mention, Candy, the Taliban are not popular. The Taliban are hated by most of the people of Afghanistan. It's not as if they're a popular movement. CROWLEY: But they're scared of them, and so they don't totally... MCCAIN: Of course they're scared. They're scared to death of them. But to say that the Afghan people would welcome them with open arms is just, I mean -- and think of the women's rights issues and all of these other cruelties that the Taliban have inflicted upon the people of Afghanistan. CROWLEY: Let me ask you about "Don't Ask/Don't Tell." It's going to come up, you're going to have testimony before the Armed Services Committee. You have criticized what you believe will be in this upcoming report about how the military feels, saying, no, this was about how are we going to implement it, not about how the military feels. I know you have got a letter from Robert Gates, defense secretary, which said in part, to you: "I do not believe that military policy decisions should on this or any other subject be subject to referendum of service members." CROWLEY: In other words, you know, what the service members, how they would vote is sort of immaterial to what we're trying to do. Doesn't he have a point? MCCAIN: Well, I think he certainly has a point. I would also certainly say that we should remember where this all started. There was no uprising in the military. There were no problems in the military with don't ask, don't tell. It was a critical... CROWLEY: No, it (inaudible) who had a problem. (CROSSTALK) MCCAIN: No, it wasn't. Because it wasn't a problem because you didn't have -- it's called don't ask, don't tell. OK? If you don't ask them, you don't ask somebody, and they don't tell. (CROSSTALK) 09:10:00 MCCAIN: And it's an all-volunteer force. I understand your point of view, and I understand the point of view by the majority of the media, but the fact is, this was a political promise made by an inexperienced president or candidate for presidency of the United States. The military is at its highest point in recruitment and retention and professionalism and capability, so to somehow allege that this policy has been damaging the military is simply false. 09:11:00 So the fact is that this system is working, and I believe that we need to assess the effect on the morale and the battle effectiveness of those people that I -- those young Marines and Army people I met in forward operating bases that are putting their lives on the line every day. This is an all-volunteer force. And if we want to ensure morale and battle effectiveness is maintained, that's why people like the commandant of the Marine Corps has come out against repeal. Now, if you want to call him a racist and others, and sergeants and others that I have... CROWLEY: We should also point out that the defense secretary and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff think it's a good idea. (CROSSTALK) MCCAIN: And they have said that, and the four service chiefs, the four service chiefs have all had reservations to one degree or another. Now I have great respect for the secretary of defense... CROWLEY: Isn't integration required... (CROSSTALK) MCCAIN: ... and I have great respect for the secretary -- for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. I have great respect for the service chiefs and I have great respect to the men and women who are serving, particularly the sergeants and the chief petty officers, who are the ones that make the military work. CROWLEY: Integration of any sort has always come -- whether it's racial, whether it's gender -- doesn't it require leadership rather than followership? And in other words, does -- yes, it matters how the military feels, but don't you need to lead when it comes to a matter of integration, which definitely was difficult? MCCAIN: Look, we're in two wars. We're in two wars. I ran into a master sergeant in a forward operating base outside Kandahar, who had five tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said -- and a number of them came to me and said, look, we fight together, we sleep together, we eat together. I want to know the effect of our ability to win this conflict. That's what we're saying. I want to know the effect on battle effectiveness and morale, not on how best to implement a change in policy. I don't think that's a lot to ask when we have our young men and women out there serving and fighting, and tragically some of them dying. CROWLEY: I have less than 30 seconds here. But I have to ask you about Sarah Palin. New book out that you're going to read sooner or later. She's going to Iowa, she's going to South Carolina. The big game is, is she going to run for president, isn't she going to run for president. You know her probably better than any politician who does. How do you read what's going on? 09:13:10 MCCAIN: I read I think she's keeping her options open, and I think she should. I think she is an incredible force in the American political arena. CROWLEY: And a divisive force, would you agree? MCCAIN: I think that anybody who has the visibility that Sarah has is obviously going to have some divisiveness. I remember that a guy named Ronald Reagan used to be viewed by some as divisive. CROWLEY: So you sort of -- do you see her as a parallel? MCCAIN: No, I think she's doing a great job. I think she's doing a great job. I think she has motivated our base. I think she had a positive impact on the last election, and I'm proud of her. CROWLEY: Senator John McCain, there is never enough time. Thank you so much. MCCAIN: Thanks for having me on. CROWLEY: I appreciate it. Up next on this holiday weekend, an interview we did earlier with two lawmakers who are thankful to be leaving Washington for good. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) OBEY: The biggest rip-off of the middle class by the elite that I think I've ever seen. DORGAN: This country needs some really good decisions these days on tough issues. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) CROWLEY: In another year, with another crop of newbie lawmakers saying they want to fix Washington, we wanted to talk with two men who have tried to do that for years and now say they've had enough. David Obey came to Congress from Wausauw, Wisconsin, when Richard Nixon was president. As the third longest serving member of the House, he has enormous clot. He has played the harmonica for years in a bluegrass band known as the Capital Offenses. Ronald Reagan was president when Byron Dorgan was elected to represent North Dakota. He rose to become a member of the Democratic leadership team. He has been a fierce critic of the financial community, one of only nine senators to vote against President Clinton's bank deregulation act. His latest book is "Reckless: How Debt, Deregulation and Dark Money Nearly Bankrupted America." Dorgan wants to teach. Two men with 70 years of service in Washington are headed home. A farewell interview with the senator and the congressman when we come back. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) CROWLEY: Most of the attention in this year's midterms has been on the new incoming lawmakers, most of them Republicans, who will shape policy over the next two years and maybe beyond. CROWLEY: But we are also intrigued by the outgoing lawmakers, the ones voluntarily walking away. This year, 12 senators and 26 congressmen decided not to run for re-election. Two of them join me here, Wisconsin Congressman David Obey and Senator Byron Dorgan of North Dakota. Gentlemen, thank you both. OBEY: Thank you. CROWLEY: I want to talk a couple of issues with you here. Because it's very rare that you get politicians on that you know they can -- they are free to speak. So feel free to chime in on these -- on these issues, because you're short-timers, as we say. The tax cuts: you all have a month and a half, not quite. What's going to happen? OBEY: I don't know what's going to happen. I know what I think should happen. We have had the greatest surge upward of wealth on the income scale in the history of the universe. You've had a huge amount of money transferred from the middle class to the top dogs. You've had the biggest rip-offs of the middle class by the elite that I think I've ever seen. And under those circumstances, I don't think we ought to be spending $750 billion in order to give people who make over 250,000 bucks another tax cut. CROWLEY: Although it will be keeping their tax cut, but nonetheless, when you look at the current state of play, what do you think is going to happen? 09:20:10 DORGAN: Well, those tax cuts were put in place -- I didn't vote for them, but they were put in place in order to return 10 years of surplus that was expected but never -- never materialized. There were no surpluses, only deficits. And my own view is that we should not have any permanent extensions. I would extend up to $250,000 for two years, only those folks, and then at two years, take a look at it and see what does the economy need now? More important than the question of who gets tax cuts during wartime is what do we do to fix this federal budget deficit and put the country back in shape so that we have a better future? CROWLEY: But given the state of play -- I mean, I know you both would like to keep the tax cuts in place for the middle class, which is defined as $250,000 and under. The Republicans are pushing hard for everyone to keep their tax cuts in place, at least temporarily. They'd like them permanent. What -- you -- you have sat in the Senate and you have sat in the House for a very long time. I just know you can look at this and know what's coming. OBEY: But -- but the fact is, people over $250,000 in income would still get a tax cut. They would just be capped so the size of their tax cut stops after you -- after they get to $250,000 income. CROWLEY: Right. DORGAN: What's likely to happen is there will be an extension of the tax cuts for everybody for a period of time. I don't know what that might be. But that's the wrong remedy for the country. I mean, to give someone who earns $1 million a year a $104,000 a year tax cut at a time when we have a $13 trillion debt, $1.3 trillion annual deficit and people at war, that's absurd. That makes no sense. CROWLEY: Let me -- let me turn you to the debt commission. We have a brand new debt commission -- you've seen a couple of them in your time, I think -- that are saying, listen, we've got to look at the three things that cost us the most, the Defense Department, federally funded health care of Medicare, Medicaid, that CHIPS program, as well as Social Security. This is another throw-away report? DORGAN: Well, I hope not. I mean, this... CROWLEY: But what do you think? 02:23:40 DORGAN: I don't even know whether it will get out of the commission. It needs 14 of 18 votes to come out to the Congress, but this is serious stuff. I mean, we -- we are on an unsustainable path for the long-term, and we have to find a way to address it. And that deals with spending. It deals with additional revenue and a whole series of things. But my hope is that the serious work that's done by this commission and others will result in this country finally finding its footing and putting itself on track for a better future. But at the moment, if we don't do that, we're in -- we're in long-term serious trouble. CROWLEY: What do you make of the earmark movement? That is, no longer will congressmen or senators be able to put into legislation things that are earmarked specifically for a library or a bridge or whatever -- whatever it is. Republicans say, let's just get rid of that. OBEY: Well, let me -- I find it interesting that the most conservative members of the Congress are those who want to have an absolute transfer of power to the executive branch of government. Having said that, as chairman of the Appropriations Committee, I don't care what happens to earmarks. I'll play that flat or round. You can keep them or -- or dump them. The fact is, they are inconsequential in comparison to the other problems we face, at less than half a percent of the budget. And we have made substantial reforms in the way they are handled. You can no longer ask for an earmark anonymously under the table. You have to take full, public credit for it. The committee has to have time to review it, but if the Congress is hell-bent on turning over that power to the president, they'll have -- they'll have to live with it. CROWLEY: And you agree with the same thing, right, that giving this up, sort of, cedes power to the president? DORGAN: It's a complete charade. You can get rid of every single earmark. It's not going to change one cent in federal spending. So it's just -- it's a charade trying to direct attention over here, when the big issue is an unsustainable fiscal policy, put in place largely by the 2001 tax cuts. Most of that benefit went to the wealthiest Americans, and here is where we are. But, you know, it is -- it is not honest to take a look at earmarks and say this is part of the fiscal policy. The problem -- it is not. It just isn't. There are plenty of problems that we have to confront, but that is not it. 09:25:56 And let me just mention as well, there's no preordained destiny for this country to always do well, to grow and to succeed. This country needs, it seems, some really good decisions these days on tough issues. And trying to direct attention to things that don't matter is not going to be helpful to this country. CROWLEY: I want to ask you both to stick with me. We're going to talk about your -- your swan songs to Congress. We'll be back in a minute. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) CROWLEY: We are back with Democratic Congressman David Obey and Democratic Senator Byron Dorgan. I want to take a quick trip down memory lane and have you listen to this. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) REP. ALAN GRAYSON, D-FLA.: Die quickly. That's right, the Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick. (END VIDEO CLIP) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) REP. ANTHONY WEINER, D-N.Y.: It's Republicans wrapping their arms around Republicans rather than doing the right thing on behalf of the heroes. It is a shame, a shame! (END VIDEO CLIP) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) REP. JOHN A. BOEHNER, R-OHIO, HOUSE MINORITY LEADER: Hell, no, you can't! Have you read the bill? Have you read the reconciliation bill? Have you read the manager's amendment? Hell, no, you haven't! (END VIDEO CLIP) CROWLEY: Going to miss it? OBEY: Not that. (LAUGHTER) CROWLEY: This is -- that's pretty remarkable. I mean, has it -- listen, you've been in Congress since Richard Nixon. Is it truly worse now than at any other time you can remember, in terms of the two parties? OBEY: I don't think so, because when I first became politically conscious, it was the era of Joe McCarthy, and nothing was as bad as the spate of McCarthyism that this country went through. CROWLEY: I ask because you seem so... OBEY: Nonetheless, it's... CROWLEY: ... discouraged about it in some of the things you've said. 09:30:18 OBEY: Well, I am discouraged about it because I think that money is rapidly taking over politics. When I got elected the first time in 1969, I spent $45,000. My opponent spent $65,000, and I won. Today you've got House seats that cost $4 million. That means instead of members being able to spend time learning these issues, learning to know about each other, they spend their time dialing for dollars. That's not a constructive change. And the Supreme Court has made it abominably worse. CROWLEY: Let me ask you, Senator, sort of along the same lines. This is -- I want to play you something that Congressman Obey said during his retirement press conference, and have you take a listen. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) OBEY: All I do know is that there has to be more to life than explaining the ridiculous accountability-destroying rules of the United States Senate... (LAUGHTER) OBEY: ... to confused and angry and frustrated constituents. (END VIDEO CLIP) CROWLEY: Senator, I think he's talking about you. (LAUGHTER) DORGAN: Yes, well, Congressman... CROWLEY: Are you... DORGAN: Congressman Obey has always been one of the more colorful members of Congress, actually. No, listen, we heard him loud and clear over on the Senate side. It's just that we didn't have enough votes to get things done. Because in the Senate, as Congressman Obey knows, regrettably everything these days takes a supermajority or 60 votes. But I fully understood the frustration and have heard it from him and others in the U.S. House. Look, I think all of us should want, and the American people should expect and deserve better from the Congress. CROWLEY: There's so much left undone, as you just talked about, Senator, and as you know in the economy, in sort of long-term debt reduction, that kind of thing. Why did you decide, each of you, not to stay and fight? DORGAN: Well, I have served in Congress 30 years. I've served in the state capital in elected position 10 years before that. I've been in statewide elective office continually since age 26. And I just -- I want to have another chapter in my life. You know, I'm not leaving because I'm upset, because I don't like the Congress. I have great respect for the Congress. It has been a gift to me to be able to serve, given to me by the people of North Dakota. An old guy called me, he was in the hospital after I announced, and he could barely talk, but he said, Dorgan what in the hell are you doing? Well, I said, you know, I'm just -- I want to do some other things in life. And having served 30 years, I just think for me it's time to move on. I want the Congress to succeed, however. This country needs the Congress to work well. CROWLEY: Congressmen Obey, you were a little more frustrated than Senator Dorgan is copping to, anyway. OBEY: Well, I've been here 42 years, and before that six years in state legislature. I think almost 50 years is quite enough, number one. Number two, as I said earlier, I detest what money is doing to politics. And I am frankly fed up with trying to convince people that we should do something to deal with the fact that we have the greatest maldistribution of income in the history of this country. People attack the Democratic Party for being redistributionist. In fact, you have had the largest redistribution of income up the income scale in the history of the country the last 30 years. And I think we simply -- it's time for new blood and fresh legs to take on that fight anew, because until we do that, we are not going to build the kind of country that can continue to lead the world. CROWLEY: And if you could fill in this short sentence for me, after I leave Congress, I am most looking forward to? OBEY: Playing more music and perhaps increasing my allotment of gin and tonics from time to time. CROWLEY: Sounds good, we'll come see you. DORGAN: I'll stay away from the gin and tonics. (LAUGHTER) DORGAN: I'm interested in a lot of things. But more time, more time to do interesting things. CROWLEY: Senator Dorgan, Congressmen Obey, thank you so much for being with us. Good luck. OBEY: Thank you. DORGAN: Thank you. CROWLEY: Up next, holidays with the Bush family. And Jeb Bush on whether he actually read his brother's book. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) CROWLEY: Earlier this month, we interviewed President George W. Bush and his brother, Jeb, for a prime time special, coinciding with the release of the president's book "Decision Points." As we began to talk, Jeb Bush confessed he hadn't read his brother's book. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) JEB BUSH (R), FORMER FLORIDA GOVERNOR: Well, I've bought 40 books, though, and I think that's far more important. CROWLEY: Seriously 40? J. BUSH: Forty. It's far more important to buy the book than to actually read it. (LAUGHTER) CROWLEY: And he a little bit lived it. G.W. BUSH: I support that, you know. (LAUGHTER) CROWLEY: You'd actually rather have him buy it than read it anyway. G.W. BUSH: No, I hope he -- he will read it. Look, he just got it. J. BUSH: Maybe. What I'll do is I'll go back in the index and see "Bush, Jeb," see if I make it. (LAUGHTER) CROWLEY: And read it. J. BUSH: Read that part. CROWLEY: You made the cut many, many times, I want you to know that. (END VIDEOTAPE) CROWLEY: When we come back, more of our conversation you haven't seen, the two brothers on values, family, and holidays. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) CROWLEY: And now more of my conversation with former President George W. Bush and his brother, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) CROWLEY: You are to us a political family, but the fact of the matter is you have brothers and a sister who are not totally involved in elective politics. G.W. BUSH: Sure. CROWLEY: So I wanted to read you something that actually came out of your dad's book, one of his "dear lads" letters that got me thinking. It said: "Dear lads, I shall stop with this gratuitous advice. Listen to your conscience. Don't be afraid not to join the mob, if you feel inside it's wrong. Don't confuse being soft with seeing the other guy's point of view. In judging your president, give him the enormous credit he's due for substantive achievements." He sometimes seems to me to be of such another era of politics. Do you think this kind of tone is at all possible now? G.W. BUSH: Yes. Sure it is. J. BUSH: It has to be. CROWLEY: Where? G.W. BUSH: That's called character. And he has got a lot of character. And there are people of character in public service. And I'm sitting next to one here, and... J. BUSH: So here, you know, George for eight years, I don't remember him ever saying anything about any of his opposition, personalizing the discourse ever. That didn't happen, it was a one- way street, you know, because on the other side, all sorts of things were said. But it doesn't have to be that way. There's enough to disagree on to -- you know, on principle, on ideology, on the future of the country. To have civil disagreement is fine, but we don't have the luxury any more of just being against things for being against things' purposes. CROWLEY: Outside of politics, is there something that you would say defines a Bush? Is there a Bush family ethos that you all got from your parents, passed along to your children? G.W. BUSH: I'd say love. I mean, you know, when people read my book they'll realize at times I was not a very lovable person because I was kind of pushing the envelope, at least from a parental point of view, and my parents always loved us. And loyalty to each other, we're loyal to each other. CROWLEY: Loyalty is huge in the Bush family, is it not? That's what you would have said. J. BUSH: Yes. CROWLEY: And that's why you don't talk publicly if you have a disagreement or let it be known that you disagree with the president or the president disagrees with the governor. G.W. BUSH: So the current vernacular is, "I have your back." And, you know, it's comforting to know that my brother had my back. CROWLEY: And does that filter down to others who aren't involved in politics, at least in the public way you are? Do you feel that way about your other brothers, your sister Doro... G.W. BUSH: Absolutely. CROWLEY: And something you pass along to your kids? J. BUSH: Yes. G.W. BUSH: Yes, just say something bad about Doro and we'll come flying across the table. CROWLEY: OK. I won't do that. (LAUGHTER) CROWLEY: Do you -- when you look at Thanksgiving, is there a tradition in the Bush family that goes down through the ages, do you all have your separate Thanksgivings? I mean, you seem to me like you might be a, hey, everybody, let's all run up to Kennebunkport, Thanksgiving. J. BUSH: I wouldn't volunteer to go to Kennebunkport on Thanksgiving just because it's 10 degrees. CROWLEY: Sorry. Maybe they can come to your place. G.W. BUSH: Here's what happened. When dad was the president, the family would gather for Christmas at Camp David. And when I was the president, Laura and I would have our family at Camp David as well for Christmas. And so for 12 years the family did get together and, you know, it was unbelievably fun. We're a very close-knit group of people. And it was fun to watch... CROWLEY: Do you talk politics in those family gatherings? J. BUSH: Not much. G.W. BUSH: No, not really. I mean, by the time Christmas came around, I was looking for a break from politics, and my dad understood that and Jeb understood that. And it's... J. BUSH: One Christmas, dad was deciding whether or not to send American troops to Kuwait to take out the Iraqis, and, I mean, there were somber times when he was president as well, you could see the weight of the world on their shoulders. But we talked about sports and normal stuff. CROWLEY: Traded Sammy Sosa, that kind of thing? (LAUGHTER) J. BUSH: Exactly. CROWLEY: Let me -- that's what I remember about sports, is that he was -- sorry, he traded Sammy Sosa. Another letter... J. BUSH: You're never living it down, are you? It's like 20 years ago and still on you for that. G.W. BUSH: Ah, what the heck? CROWLEY: Another letter from your dad, which I found interesting in light of tone: "Dear lads, civility will return to Washington eventually. Personalities will change and our system will have proved that it works more slowly than some would want, less efficiently than some would decree, but it works and gives us even in adversity great stability." 1974. G.W. BUSH: Interesting, yes. CROWLEY: So civility, as far as I can see, has not returned to Washington. And I guess what I wonder is, you have children. You have children. You may have grandchildren at some point if you stop pressuring her in public. (LAUGHTER) CROWLEY: And I'm wondering if from what you've seen, from what your father went through, what you went through, what you went through, if you see any of your children eager to join into this kind of elected politics? J. BUSH: I have three children, two of which I think are, if I'd bet, at least one of them will run for something. They're already actively involved and they do it with their eyes wide open. They know that it's not a perfect system. But your skin gets thickened when you see, you know, someone you love go through the difficulty. That's far harder than doing it yourself, so. CROWLEY: Are we talking about P. when you say you think at least one of them will run? J. BUSH: George and Jeb, my son, who is actively politically here. G.W. BUSH: No, I don't think our girls will run. CROWLEY: You don't think Jenna or Barbara will ever be doing that? G.W. BUSH: But the key thing though is they will be involved with helping improve people's lives. I mean, there's all kinds of ways to serve a community. And our little girls are young, professional women who are making positive contributions to our society. And I doubt they'll ever run for office, though. CROWLEY: (INAUDIBLE) grandchildren might? G.W. BUSH: Yes, well, I'm not going to of course over the air urge my daughter to have a child. CROWLEY: Yes. Well, you've already done it in print, so you might as well do it over the air, ensuring you won't have one for a while. Governors Bush -- both governors at one time -- at the same time, Governor Jeb Bush, thank you so much for joining us. J. BUSH: You bet. CROWLEY: I appreciate it. J. BUSH: Thank you. CROWLEY: Former President, thank you as well. G.W. BUSH: You bet. Thank you, Candy. (END VIDEOTAPE) CROWLEY: Up next, a check of today's top headlines. And then White House photographer Pete Sousa on capturing some of the iconic moments in American politics. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) CROWLEY: Now time for a check of today's top stories. Returning now to the breaking developments in the Korean peninsula crisis, China is calling for an emergency consultation with members of the six-party talks, as the U.S. and South Korea conduct joint military exercises in the Yellow Sea. North Korea called the exercise as a pretext for war and warns that any intrusion into the country's territorial waters will result in a, quote, "merciless military counterattack." European finance ministers are meeting today to finalize an $85 billion rescue package for Ireland. The emergency aid is aimed to help the country cover bank debts and a massive budget deficit. In Dublin yesterday about 50,000 people took to the street to protest the Irish government's austerity plan. A Somali-born teenager accused of a bomb plot in Oregon faces up to life in prison and a quarter-million-dollar fine. Federal authorities say 19-year-old Mohamed Osman Mohamud was arrested in connection with a plan to detonate what he believed to be a car bomb at a Christmas tree lighting Friday night in Portland. Undercover agents managed to slip Mohamud a fake bomb. Those are your top stories, here on "State of the Union." Up next, images of the president you rarely see, behind the scenes with White House photographer Pete Souza. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) CROWLEY: Unless you are family, you can't get much closer to the life of a president than the photographer hired by the White House to snap history in pictures. Former Chicago Tribune photographer Pete Souza is the chief photographer for President Obama now. He also took pictures for President Reagan in the 80s. "Creating a good photographic archive for history is the most important part of my job," he says, "creating this archive that will live on." His work and that of many others is profiled in a few book, "The President's Photographer." I talked with Pete Souza earlier. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) CROWLEY: That's his youngest daughter, Sasha. So what was happening here? You were with him and she arrived or vice versa? SOUZA: Yes, they just, kind of, ran into each other. She was on the way up to the residence in the elevator, and he just saw her, grabbed her, gave her a big hug. CROWLEY: This is the kind of thing you couldn't get as a Chicago Trib reporter -- or photographer. SOUZA: No, I mean, I think my -- my access to the president is much different and more intimate than a newspaper photographer. CROWLEY: And what's -- what's the place in history for pictures like these? SOUZA: I just think, you know, it gives a better, rounded view of the president as a human being than is depicted in newspapers and magazines. And, you know, in time there will be even more pictures released. You know, it's really fun to look back now at some of the pictures of the Kennedys, Johnsons, Fords, Bush 41, and so on and so forth. CROWLEY: Right. Let me -- let me move on to this next picture because I want to talk to you about the role of a White House photographer, because you were involved not just in taking this picture, but in almost making it happen. Explain that to us. SOUZA: Well, this was in Normandy. And as the -- after the president spoke at Normandy -- this was last year, I believe. I, sort of, lose track of time. And a bunch of the veterans were trying to get close to him to shake his hand, and this one gentleman was one of those who was trying to say hi to the president, and he was literally knocked down in the crowd. And I saw it happen, and I felt really bad. Here's this guy trying -- just trying to shake his hand, and he gets caught up in the crush. There were so many people there. And I had mentioned it to the White House trip director, Marvin Nicholson. I said, you know, if there's any way that -- this poor guy just got knocked down. He really wanted to just meet the president. And Marvin just made it happen. They wheeled him over. And look at that face. So I chose an angle to get his reaction to meeting the president. CROWLEY: And it -- it does tell a story. And also talk to me -- we mentioned that you've also worked as a newspaper photog. And the roles are very different, are they not? you would want have done... SOUZA: I would not have done that. And, clearly, I would not have done that. But in this instance, it seemed like the right thing to do as a human being. You know, I saw this guy. He got knocked down. I felt really bad, and so I expressed that emotion to Marvin Nicholson, and Marvin is the one who -- who made this happen. CROWLEY: I want to show you some pictures in, kind of, quick succession, just explain to our audience what they are, and then ask you a final question here. This is Lyndon Johnson meeting with his advisers. We're assuming this is late at night. And there's no other sort of explanation about it in the book. Then we have one of Gerald Ford. We're, kind of, moving chronologically upward. This is Gerald Ford. He is going to be president. Richard Nixon has resigned, but they're not ready for him yet at the White House. So David Kennerly, I think, took this picture of the Fords at their home in Virginia with Mrs. in her curlers. We're told she, in fact, made that dinner. He is now, sort of, officially the president of the United States. And then, finally, this is the Bush 41 family, dad of the latest President Bush, with their grandchildren up in Kennebunkport one morning, with the kids all coming in. And I looked at those -- all of those pictures, and I thought, can you see any modern presidency -- these are pretty darn intimate photos. I mean, this is the Bushes in their beds, Lyndon Johnson in his bed, Mrs. Ford in her curlers. Can that kind of picture happen again, do you think, for public view? SOUZA: Well, I do want to point out that the picture of Bush was shot when he was vice president. And I don't think there's anything of him as president that's like that. And the Kennerly photo -- it was a different era in that we had just gone through Watergate, and Ford was trying to project himself as being a regular guy, open, sort of... (CROSSTALK) SOUZA: And it's a great picture, and I think this was when they were still living in Alexandria after Nixon resigned, and they hadn't yet moved in -- into the White House. The one of Johnson is like, you know, a one of a kind figure. I don't know that you're ever going to see a president like him. I mean, I think that there will be a time, if there's a crisis in the middle of the night, where I'm called in and we'll photograph, you know, an intimate setting like this, but I don't know that you're ever going to see, you know, a president propped up in his bed like that. (END VIDEOTAPE) CROWLEY: Chief White House photographer Pete Souza. Thanks so much for watching "State of the Union." I'm Candy Crowley in Washington. END .ETX

Ukrainian breakthrough and crazy rumours in Moscow...
UNITED STATES SENATE 15:00-16:00
The senate convene for a period of morning business. They discuss the White House compromise on the the GW Bush tax cuts. 15:00:07 BERNIE SANDERS are we nuts? what are we doing in wasting the extraordinary intellectual potential of all of these young people? what we're saying to them is because you don't have the money 15:00:21and because college is so expensive and because our federal government is so busy giving tax breaks to millionaires and fighting two wars, we are not investing in you. that makes no sense at all. when you invest in your kids, you're investing in the future 15:00:36of america. they are america. and if they're not well educated, how are they going to become productive members of society? how are we going to compete against china and europe and other countries around the world that are investing in education? 15:00:55and here's something that we don't talk about enough. the fastest-growing occupations are those that require higher levels of education and technical competence. 15:01:13it's true in vermont and true all over the country that you have jobs out there, good jobs, and those jobs cannot be filled because our young people don't have the job skills to fill them. 15:01:28how absurd is that? i remember there was a piece in one of the papers -- i think it was in ohio -- where after the worst of the recession, there were a lot of layoffs, they were beginning to rehire workers. these were sophisticated 15:01:45high-tech jobs. they brought workers in and they brought them in and they brought them in, and they couldn't come up with the number of workers they needed to fill the jobs they had. what does that say about our educational system? data from alliance for excellent education 2009, 1,800 vermont 15:02:04dropouts cost the state $459 million of lost lifetime earnings for the state and $19.4 million in health care costs. in other words, what everybody understands, if you don't invest 15:02:20in your young people, they are not going to become productive tax-paying workers. as often as not, they will get involved in self-destructive activity -- drugs, crime, 15:02:37whatever. they'll end up in jail and we'll spend tens of thousands of dollars keeping them in jail rather than keeping them out there as productive members of society contributing their fair share of taxes. the urban institute says that we can reduce child poverty, which 15:02:55i mentioned earlier, is the highest in the industrialized world by 35% if we provide child-care subsidies to families with income less than 50% of state median. 15:03:10this is an issue i feel very, very strongly about. it is, to me, beyond comprehension that in vermont and throughout this country, it is extremely difficult for working class families to find 15:03:28affordable, good-quality child care. we're not back in the 1950's where daddy went to work and mommy stayed home taking care of the kids. mom is at work as well. and you have families all over this country, middle-class, 15:03:43working-class families are saying you know, i cannot find quality child care where i'm comfortable leaving my two-year-old or three-year-old; can't find that child care at a rate that i can afford. in this area, again, we are far 15:03:59behind many other countries around the world, because kids who do not get intellectually challenging early childhood education, kids who do not get the emotional support they need from zero to three to of course 15:04:15they will enter school already quite behind other kids. and then five years later, ten years later, they'll be dropping out of school and they'll be doing drugs, and they'll be ending up in jail at great expense. 15:04:29how long does it take us to understand that investing in our children, our youngest children is enormously important for our country, and it is a good investment. it is much better to invest in child care than in keeping people locked up in jails. mr. president, 75% of american 15:04:51youth who applied to the military are ineligible to serve because of low cognitive capacities, criminal records or obesity. this is really quite unbelievable. 15:05:04we're not only now talking about not being able to compete internationally because we are not bringing forth the kind of educated people that we need because of the inquad is is of our schools -- inadequate tphaoeur of -- nature of our 15:05:27schools. 75% of our youth who apply to the military are inable to serve because of low cognitive capabilities, capacities, criminal records or obesity. mr. president, it gives me no 15:05:47pride, no happiness to bring forth these statistics. but as a nation, we're going to have to grasp these things. either we can ignore these things, either we can run away from reality, put our heads underneath the carpet here, or 15:06:03we can say that we are not going to allow america to become a third world nation, that we're going to thurpb country around -- turn this country around. but we're not going to turn this country around unless we rethink our priorities, and one of our 15:06:20priorities cannot be more tax breaks for the richest people in this country. mr. president, from the 1960's to 2006, the u.s., the united states, fell from first to 18th out of 24 industrialized 15:06:36nations in high school graduation rates. now what happens in today's economy if a kid does not graduate from high school? and if my memory is correct, about 30% of our kids -- and i know these figures are fuzzy 15:06:53because it's hard to determine who is dropping out and not. but my understanding is about 30% of our kids drop out of high skaofplt what happens to those kids? where do they go? how many end up in jail? how many do drugs? as a nation, i think we can do a 15:07:09lot better than that. we should not have gone from 1st to 18th out of 24 industrialized nations in high school graduation rates. mr. president, dropouts are eight times more likely to be 15:07:27incarcerated. in other words, when kids fail in school, they are going to end up in jail. eight times more likely. 82% of those in prison are high school dropouts. states -- i can tell you a funny experience. 15:07:41i was in burlington last week and i met this fellow and he was chatting with me. he said i just got out of jail. what really struck me is he was a well-educated young man. he was very articulate. i suspect he had gone to college. 15:07:57what struck me is how rare that is. as the statistics amply demonstrate, the people who end up in jail overwhelmingly are high school dropouts, people who don't have the education to make it in the world. mr. president, when we talk 15:08:14about the need to substantially increase funding for early childhood education, we should understand that state-funded prek programs currently serve 24% of four-year olds and 4% of three-year olds. 15:08:33in other words, there are millions of families that would like to see their kids be able to access good-quality child 15:08:43care, but just can't find that in their states. mr. president, again, in contrast to giving tax breaks to billionaires who don't need it and in some cases are not even asking for it, the younger the 15:08:58age of investment in human capital, the higher the rate of return on that investment. if society invests early enough, it can raise cognitive and socioemotional levels in the health of disadvantaged kids. 15:09:13you don't need to be a psychologist to understand that. if kids get off to a good start in life, if they have the intellectual support, the intellectual development, emotional support, those kids are much, much more likely to do 15:09:29well in school, much less likely to drop out, much less likely to be a burden on society, much less likely to end up in jail, much less likely to do drugs, et cetera. this is an investment that we should be making. 15:09:46mr. president, i want to get back for a moment to the agreement that the president made with the republican leadership and why i think it is 15:10:01a bad agreement and why i believe we can do much better. and the way we are going to improve this agreement is when millions of people all over this kwupbt say -- all over this country say wait a second. 15:10:18this was an agreement reached behind closed doors. there are members in the house and the senate who are upset that we didn't know about the agreement. what about the average american out there? i wonder how many people really believe that it makes a lot of sense with a $13.7 trillion 15:10:35national debt to be giving huge tax breaks to the wealthiest people in this country. i've got to tell you, mr. president, the calls in my office are coming 98%, 99% to one against these agreements. 15:10:56people think we can do better, and our job is to do better. and the way we do better is when people all over this country stand up and say, wait a minute, congress, your job is to represent the middle class, 15:11:10represent our kids and not to represent the wealthiest people in this country. i mentioned earlier, and i think certainly one of the major objections to this agreement is that it provides tens of billions of dollars to the 15:11:27wealthiest people in this country at a time when the rich are already doing phenomenally well and at a time when the wealthiest people have already experienced huge tax breaks. and i think most people think 15:11:43that that does not make sense. let me just give you an example. i just want to, not to pick on particular individuals. that's not my goal here. but just so you know this. according to the citizens for tax justice, if the bush tax 15:11:58breaks for the top 2% are extended, these are some of the people who will benefit and what kind of benefits they will receive. rupert murdoch, the c.e.o. of news corporation, would receive a $1.3 million tax break next year. 15:12:16mr. murdoch is a billionaire. do you really think he needs that? jamie dimon, head of j.p. morgan chase whose bank got a bailout from the federal reserve will 15:12:30receive a $1.1 million tax break. trust me, jamie dimon, head of j.p. morgan chase, he is doing fine. ecrom pandit, head of citigroup, he would receive $175,000 tax 15:12:52breaks. ken lewis, former c.e.o. of bank of america, the guy is already fabulously wealthy, would receive a $713,000 a year tax break. the c.e.o. of wells fargo, he's are the largest banks in 15:13:07america, c.e.o.'s of these banks already making huge compensation, he would get -- john stumph, c.e.o. of wells fargo would receive a $813,000 tax break every single year. 15:13:23c.e.o. morgan stanley would receive a $926,000 a year tax break. the c.e.o. of he the narcotics ronald will kwrarbs of he the -- the c.e.o. of aetna would 15:13:39receive a tax break worth 15:13:44$875,000. mr. president, i contrast that, as i did earlier, to the fact that two days ago you and i and a total of 53 members of the senate said, you know, maybe we 15:13:56should provide a $250 check this year to seniors on social security and to disabled vets because they haven't gotten a cola for two years. $250 check. people are making $14,000, 15:14:14$15,000 a year desperately need a little bit of help. we couldn't get one republican vote. but when it comes to the c.e.o. of a major bank who is already a multimillionaire, we're talking about $600,000, $700,000 a year in tax breaks. 15:14:28that is not what we should be doing as a nation. furthermore, mr. president, i know that president obama and others have said, well, let's not worry because these tax breaks are just temporary. 15:14:46just temporary. they're only going to be given for two years. i have been in washington long enough to know that when you give a temporary tax break for two years, you are in fact giving a long-term tax break or 15:15:03maybe even a permanent tax break because two years from now the exact same arguments will be made, that if you do away with those tax breaks for the rich, you're really raising taxes. do you really want to raise taxes, a terrible thing to do. 15:15:21understand that same argument can be made. but there is one difference. the difference is, when president obama ran for president and since he are has been president, he has time and time and time again come out against those tax breaks. 15:15:34he does not believe in them, and i believe him. i know that he doesn't. but if he says -- if he is the democratic candidate for president -- that elect me ar reelect me to be president because then in the future i'm really going to bet rid of these tax breaks, i am afraid that his 15:15:51credibility is not very, very high, because that's what he said last time. and you can only cry wolf -- i guess there's a limit to home times you can cry wolf. so i think -- let's not kid ourselves. if these tax breaks for the wealthiest people are extended 15:16:06for two years, there is a very, very strong likelihood that they will be extended for many, many years beyond these two years and perhaps even permanently, which brings us back to the bush-era nonsense of believing that tax 15:16:22breaks for the rich and trickle-down economics are going to help the middle-class and working families of this country. but while the personal income tax issue and extending them for the top 2% has received a lot of 15:16:39national attention, what has not gotten a whole lot of discussion is that that is not the only unfair and absurd tax proposal out there. the agreement struck between the president and the republican 15:16:54leadership continues the bush era 15% tax rate on capital gains and dividends, meaning that those people who make their living off of their investments will continue to pay a substantially lower tax rate 15:17:09than firemen, teachers, and nurses. so if you are a wealthy person and you earn -- and i believe that the overwhelming majority of capital gains benefits accrue to the top 1% -- you're going to 15:17:25be paying a tax on that income of 15%, which is less than you pay if you are a fireman, whether you are a police officer, you are a teacher, or a nurse. 15:17:38so what we're doing there is extending not only the personal income tax rates for the very rich but a host of other taxes as well. mr. president, on top of all of that -- and i know that many of my colleagues have picked up on 15:17:58this and are extremely upserkts and i think it is one of the reasons why the democrats in the house just yesterday said that they do not want to bring this proposal to the floor for a vote -- is that this agreement includes a horrendous, a 15:18:15horrendous proposal regarding the estate tax. and the estate tax, as some may know, was a proposal that teddy roosevelt talked about in the year -- in the year 1906 and was eventually enacted in 1916. 15:18:35and here is what teddy roosevelt said about this issue in august 15:18:42of 2010, and i quote, and it is worth repeating that, because what the proposal struck between the president and the republican leadership does is lower the estate tax substantially. and here's what teddy roosevelt 15:18:57said in 2010. and here's the chart with his words. he said, "the absence of effective state, and, especially, national, restraint upon unfair money-getting has tended to create a small class 15:19:13of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power." this is teddy roosevelt, who by then had served as president of 15:19:27the united states. "no man" -- this is rose volt. "no man should receive a dollar unless that dollar has been fairly earned. every dollar received should represent a dollar's worth of service rendered -- not gambling 15:19:43in stocks, but service rendered." end of quote. my good in this guy was pretty prophetic. this is back in 1910. then he continues, "the really big fortune, the swollen 15:20:02fortune, by the mere fact of its size acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is passed by men of relatively small means. therefore, i believe in ... a 15:20:16graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, properly safeguarded against evasion and increasingly rapidly in amount with the size of the estate." end ever quote. wow, teddy roosevelt hit the 15:20:31nail on the head. and that was 100 years ago. what he worried about is that a small group of people with incredible money would be able to pass that money on and that what you would create in this country is an oligarchic form of 15:20:52government with a few people not holding just economic power but holding significant power as well. 15:21:02right now as a result of this disastrous citizens united decision, what roosevelt foretold, predicted is exactly what's happening. you're having a handful of billionaires now sitting around deciding how much of their fortune they're going to invest in political campaigns all over this country to defeat people 15:21:21like me that are opposed to their agenda and support other people who are in agreement with their agenda. that's what roosevelt talked about. that is exactly what is happening. so what we're looking at is, in this proposal we're looking at a 15:21:42situation where the estate tax rate, which was 5 5% under president clinton, will decline to 35% in -- with an exemption. here's the important point that 15:22:02has to be made because i think a lot of people don't understand it and certainly our republican friends have done a very, very good job in distorting reality on this one. there are millions of americans who believe that when they die, 15:22:23that i their children will have to pay an estate tax 678 that's absolutely and categorically incorrect. as this chart shows, only a tiny 15:22:34fraction of estates from deaths in 2009 owed any estate tavment that number is about .24%, less than .3% of american families paid any tax on the estates that 15:22:53they were left. 99.% 7% of american families -- 99.7% of american families did not pay anything in estate taxes. 15:23:08the so-called "death tax" that our republican friends talk about a whole lot is the estate tax, 99.7% of families don't pay a nickel on t the people who do pay are not the rich. it is the very, very, very rich. and let me just give you one 15:23:30example of the absurdity of lowering the tax rate, or even worse, of ending the estate tax 15:23:42as some of my republican colleagues would like to do. here's this chart. to give you one example of what ending -- this agreement does not do that; it just lowers the rates. 15:23:53but if they were to wipe out completely, as the republicans want to do, walmart's owners -- and that's the sam walton family, the waltons own walmart. they are the heirs to the walmart fortune which is worth 15:24:11-- this may be dated, it may be more, may be less now -- about $86 billion. that's what this family is worth. one family, $86 billion. they're doing pretty good. if we abollish the estate tax, as our republican friends would have us do, the walton family 15:24:28alone would receive an estimated $32.7 billion tax break, if the estate tax was completely repealed. one family, $32.7 billion. this is patently insane. 15:24:43this is insane. we have the highest rate of childhood poverty in the industrialized world. we have massive unemployment. i am trying to get 50-plus million a $250 check. 15:25:01by the way, a $250 check because we have not seen a cola in the two last two and a half years for seniors and vets, thaltd that would cost about $13 billion. 15:25:15the wahlton family would get more than double in a tax break what some of us are fighting for for over 50 million seniors and disabled vets. so we can't afford to give $14 billion to help some of the people in this country who are struggling the hardest, can't do 15:25:31that. but somehow we can afford to give $32.7 billion in tax breaks to one of the richest families in this country. if that makes sense to anybody, please call up my office. because it doesn't make stones me, and i think it does not make sense to the vast majority of 15:25:47the american people. so under this agreement, the estate tax rate, which was 55% under president clinton, will decline to 35% with an exemption on the first $5 million of an 15:26:08state's estate, $10 million for couples. and let us again -- this tax applies to only the top .3% of the families in this country. and this again is not just a tax break for the rich; it is a tax 15:26:21break for the very, very rich. and, again, this agreement say, well, we're only going to extend this for two years. well, frankly, i doubt that very much. i suspect two years from now, the same argument. they will be extending it. 15:26:36and frankly our republican colleagues, representing the richest people in the world, are hell bent on aboll iraq the estate tax completely. so those are some of the reasons that i think we should be voting against this agreement. 15:26:59third, mr. president -- and this is an issue i have been talking about and i'm happy to hear that there is more discussion about in the last few days -- and that is the so-called payroll tax 15:27:12holiday. and what that is about is that this would cut $120 billion in social security payroll tax for workers. now, on the surface, this sounds 15:27:27like a very good idea because the worker instead of paying 6.2% into social security pays 4.2%. but i think, if you think about it for two second, you really understand that it is not a good 15:27:42idea because this is money being dwrerted from the social security -- being diverted from the social security trust fund. and social security, in my view, has been the most successful federal program in perhaps the history of our country. in the last 75 years, whether in 15:27:59good times or bad times, social security has paid out every nickel owed to every eligible american. today social security has $toy 2.6 -- social security has $2.6 trillion surplus. tai social today social securitn 15:28:15pay out benefits for the next 25 years. we must be able to extend is it beyond 29 years to the next 75 years. if you divert $120 billion from the social security trust fund rands give it to workers today, what you're doing is cutting 15:28:33back at viability, the long-term viability of social security. 15:28:40that is not just bernie sanders raising this issue. there are many people representing millions of senior citizens who are deeply, deeply concerned about this proposal, 15:28:57this provision in the agreement between the president and the republican leadership. the national committee to preserve social security and medicare is one of the very largest senior groups in america. 15:29:11they do a very, very good job. i know we have many seniors in vermont who are members of this organization and their job is to do what the title of the organization suggests, and that is to preserve social security and medicare. and just the other day, they sent out a news release and the 15:29:28title of the news release washings and i quote, "cutting contributions to social security signals the beginning of the end ." "payroll tax holiday is anything but." 15:29:42and let me quote from barbara kennelly, who is a former member of congress, she is the president, c.e.o. of the national committee to preserve social security and medicare. what she writes is that -- quote -- "even though social security contributed nothing to the 15:30:00current economic crisis, it has been bart teared in a deal that provides deficit-busting tax cuts for the wealthy. diverting" -- and that's what we're doing here -- "$120 billion in social security contributions for a show of 15:30:14called tax holiday may sound like a good deal for workers now, but it's bad business for the program that a majority of middle-class seniors will rely upon in the future." end of quote, bars bra kennelly, president and c.e.o. mr. president, i think many of 15:30:32shoes understand where this concept really originated. this is not a progressive idea. this is an idea that came from republicans and conservatives who want to end social security. 15:30:50and i want to read you an interesting quote from a gentleman named bruce bartlett. mr. bart slate former top advisor for president george h.w. bush. 15:31:05this is what he wrote in opposition to this payroll tax cut. that is guy who was an advisor to president reagan and the first president bush. this is what he said. he said -- quote -- "what are the odds that republicans will ever allow this one-year tax holiday to expire? 15:31:23they wrote the bush tax cuts with explicit expiration dates and then when it came time for the law they wrote to take effect exactly as they wrote it, they said any failure to extend 15:31:37them permanently would constitute the biggest tax increase in history." end of quote for a moment. so what mr. bartlett is saying -- and i'm going to go back to his quote in a second -- what he's saying is we all know to be true, that around here in congress, if you provide a tax 15:31:54break for one year -- in this case, a payroll tax holiday -- a year from now, if you restore the old rates, which are 6.2%, our republican friends are going to say, democrats are raising 15:32:08your taxes. it ain't going to happen. this one-year extension could well become a permanent extension. and if it becomes a permanent extension, you are diverting a huge amount of money to social 15:32:24security and you are weakening the entire financial structure of social security in this country, which i expect is exactly what some would like to do. now, president obama says, well, not to worry, it's only one year 15:32:40and, don't worry, that one year's going to be covered by the federal government. so for the very first time out of the treasury department, money is going to come in to social security which has always been 100 dependent, as it should be on, payroll taxes. 15:32:55for the first time, we are breaking that. and around here, you do it once, it is going to continue. what barbara kennelly, the president of the national committee to preserve social securitymedicare says, is cutting these contributions to 15:33:10social security signals the beginning of the end. so we should be very, very, very mindful of that. we should not support this payroll tax. it is one of the more dangerous provisions in this agreement. but let me get back now, if i might, mr. president, to what 15:33:28bruce bartlett, who is the former top advisor for presidents reagan and george h.w. bush, recently wrote, and i'm continuing his quote. 15:33:38quote -- "if allowing the bush tax cuts to expire is the biggest tax increase in history, one that republicans claim would decimate a still fragile economy, then surely expiration of a payroll tax holiday would 15:33:54also constitute a massive tax increase on the working people of america. republicans would be" -- this is bruce bartlett -- "republicans would prefer to destroy social 15:34:09security's finances or permanently fund it with general revenues than allow a once-suspended payroll tax to be reimposed. arch social security hater peter ferrarro, once told me that funding it with general revenues 15:34:24was part of his plan to destroy it by converting social security into a welfare program rather than an earned benefit. he was right." and once again, that quote is from bruce bartlett, a former top advisor for presidents 15:34:41reagan and the first president bush. so what he is saying -- and this is maybe one of the sleeping issues in this agreement between the president and the republican leadership -- is we may be taking a huge step forward in destroying the most important 15:34:57program in this country, which is social security, by diverting now $120 billion and in the future, hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars into this program so that, in fact, it will not be there for our kids and our grandchildren. mr. president, the fourth point 15:35:18that i want to make in opposition to this agreement -- and one that i've made before -- and read a little bit about is -- is that while some of the business taxes in this agreement may work to create jobs, some of them won't. 15:35:36but the more important point is that economists on both ends of the political spectrum believe that the better way to spur the economy and to create the millions and millions of jobs that we must create is to 15:35:52rebuild our crumbling infrastructure. just a few minutes ago, i read from a -- excerpts from a very good book from a good friend of mine, ariana huffington, "third 15:36:10world america," and the purpose of her book was to give us a warning that if we as a nation don't get our act together in a variety of ways, including our physical infrastructure, we are headed down the pike to be a third world nation. according to the american society of civil engineers, we as a nation need to spend 15:36:27$2.2 trillion in the next five years alone in order to take care of our infrastructure needs. but, unfortunately, this agreement signed by the president and the republicans doesn't put one penny into infrastructure. 15:36:41so i think that if we are serious about creating jobs, if we're serious about making sure that our economy can be competitive in the global economy, we've got to be watching what other countries are doing and they're investing far, far more than we are. i can tell you, mr. president, 15:36:58in the stimulus package, by the way, will help us very much in vermont in this area. but right now if you were to drive around the state of vermont, and i think around many other places in this country, and you took out your cell phone, you would find it very hard to make calls in a number 15:37:13of areas of the state. a few months ago, i was literally a mile and a half away from our state capital in mont montpelier new northfield, vermont, i could not make a telephone call with my cell 15:37:29phone. that's flew many parts of vermont. that's true in many other parts of america. we are lagging many, many other countries in terms of the accessibility of cell phone service and broadband. and broadband. so i am happy to say that in vermont, we received a very 15:37:45generous grant through the stimulus package. it is going to help us. other states did the same. but that's the area that we have got to invest. we've got to invest in broadband. we've got to invest in making sure that cell phone service is available in rural america, all 15:38:00over america. i talked a moment ago about our train services. there are train services today which are worse than they were 30 or 40 years ago. it takes longer to debt from destination a to destination b. china is investing human huge sf money building high-speed rail 15:38:17at a rate that we could not even dream about. so in this agreement, we do have money for business tax cuts, but i do not think that that is the best way to invest taxpayer money if we're serious about creating the jobs that we need. 15:38:35corporate america already is sitting on close to $2 trillion 15:38:39cash on hand. i don't know that more tax breaks are going to help them very much. i think that it is a lot smarter, and i think most economists agree with me, that we should be investing in our infrastructure, both to create 15:38:55jobs now and to improve our competitiveness in years to come. further, mr. president, i want to say a word on this. i mentioned it earlier today. president obama talks about this being a compromise agreement. 15:39:12you can't get everything you want and i certainly understand that. but one of the aspects of the compromise he points to is an extension of unemployment benefits for 13 months. well, let me be very clear. i think at a time when 2 million 15:39:28of our fellow americans are about to lose their unemployment at a time when unemployment is extraordinarily high, long-term unemployment is i think higher than at any point on record. 15:39:43people are, you know, looking for work month after month after month, they're not finding it. it would be morally, morally unacceptable if this country did not extend unemployment benefits for those workers for 13 months. yet the president sees this as a 15:40:00great sign of compromise. i would argue the contrary. i would suggest to you, mr. president, that for the past 40 years, under both democratic and republican administrations, under democratic and republican leadership here in the senate or in the house, whenever the 15:40:18unemployment rate has been above 7.2% unemployment, unemployment insurance has always been extended. in other words, this has been bipartisan policy for 40 years, 15:40:33and i don't want to see us seeing and accepting as a really great give on the part of republicans -- a really, you know, something that they're giving us as part a compromise -- when it's been bipartisan policy for 40 years 15:40:47under democratic and republican leadership. so i don't accept that this is a great gift. i think what the american people understand is you don't turn your backs on unemployed workers, people who've been unemployed for long periods of time, you don't allow those people to lose their homes, you 15:41:04don't force these people out on to the streets, you take away the shreds of dignity they have remaining. that's not what you do. and that has always been republican philosophy as well as democratic philosophy. this is not a great give, so i 15:41:19do not accept that this is a -- a compromise. mr. president, let me be very 15:41:35clear, as i said earlier, that i do believe that there are positive parts of this agreement that must be maintained as we move forward toward a better agreement. and let me give you just some of them that make a lot of sense to 15:41:53me that we have got to retape rn and build on. the obvious one is in addition to extending unemployment benefits, it's clear that we have got to extend middle-class tax cuts for 98% of americans. as i have been documenting over 15:42:10and over again today, we are looking at a situation where the middle class in this country is collapsing under president bush. median family income went down by $2,200. people are losing their health care. 15:42:26and it would be asinine, it would be unacceptable if the middle class did not continue to receive the tax breaks that were developed in 2001 and 2003. and that to a large degree is what this fight is about. we've got to extend those tax breaks for the middle class but 15:42:44not tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires. further, in this agreement, there are some other good provisions. you've got the earned-income tax credit for working americans and the child and college tax credits are also in this agreement and they are very, very important. 15:42:58they will keep millions of our fellow americans from slipping out of the middle class and into poverty and they will allow millions of our fellow citizens to send their kids to college. just talked about a moment ago that we have over 100,000 families in this country where 15:43:16kids graduate high school, to want go to college, can't afford to do it. this proposal will help them do that and that's fine. but, mr. president, despite the fact that there are some good, important provisions in this proposal, when we look at the overall package, when we look at 15:43:32a $13.7 trillion national debt and a declining middle class, i 15:43:38think what we have got to say is that this package just doesn't do it. it's just not good enough. now, the president says that he knows thousand count votes -- knows how to count votes and i understand that. he says, you know, you had a 15:43:53couple of votes here to make sure that we would not give tax breaks to millionaires and the president has been very clear, he does not want to do that. i understand that. but he says, what choice do i have? and i think the answer is, we have got to fight this issue. in my view, the solution ultimately will not be resolved 15:44:11here inside the beltway, in the senate or in the house t. will be resolved when -- house. approximate t will be resolved when millions of americans -- it will be resolved when millions of americans get on 15:44:23their telephones, get on their computers and let members of the senate and members of the house of representatives know that they are profoundly outraged, that at a time when the rich have never had it so good and when we have a huge national debt, that this agreement contains huge tax for those -- 15:44:41huge tax breaks for those people who don't need it. that's how we defeat this. i'm not sure that alone here in the debate i'm going to turn any of my republican or some democratic colleagues around. but i do believe that if people all over this country stand up 15:44:55and say, wait a minute, how much do the richest people in this country want? i just documented a few moment ago -- moments ago the top 400 wealthiest people in this country saw a doubling of their income under president bush, a doubling of their income, tax rates went down. 15:45:11when is enough, enough? how much do they need? so i think and i would hope, by the way, that this is certainly not just the -- a progressive issue. i'm a progressive. this is a conservative issue. 15:45:27i have heard year after year, mr. president, our conservative friends telling us, my goodness, we cannot continue to raise the national debt. we've got to do something about this unsustainable deficit. this agreement grows, increases 15:45:43the national debt. what kind of honest conservative can vote to inrecess the national debt? and if they do, please, please no more lectures here on the floor of the senate. your hypocrisy will be known to 15:45:59everybody. don't tell us that you're concerned about the national debt. give tax breaks to billionaires and raise the national debt so that our kids and grandchildren in the middle class will have to pay -- and the middle class will have to pay higher taxes in 15:46:14order to pay off the debt that was caused by you giving tax breaks to millionaires. please, no more lectures. say, okay, rich people contributed to my campaign. i've got to be honest. no more concern about your 15:46:32concern about the national debt. again, i want to rethe it rate this point and that is -- reiterate this point, than is, don't worry, it's only two years. this is not, in my view, two years. if you do them for two years, the same old argument will be 15:46:47back two years from now and we'll be in the midst of a presidential election and what our republican friends will say and i'm glad we have a gentleman putting this in the congressional record. i want people to go back to the congressional record. 15:47:03i'm sure i will be proven right that two years from now our republican friends will come back and they will say, oh, employ board, if you re -- oh, my word, if you repeal these tax rates, you'll be raising taxes. we can't do that. and what will make the situation even more difficult two years 15:47:20from now than today, if you have president obama, if he's the democratic candidate, he'll say, i don't believe in the tax breaks for the rich, i'll do my best to repeal them, but his credibility has been damaged because he said that in his last 15:47:37campaign. that's what he's been saying all along. the president does not believe in extending tax breaks to the wealthy. i know that. but if he caves in now, who's going to believe that he won't do the same thing two years from now. 15:47:51that's the damage. what i think is even more troublesome is once we move down this path of more tax breaks for the very, very wealthy, we are accepting the heart and soul of trickle-down economics, which has been, to my mind, a proven 15:48:09disaster and a failure. i would remind the listeners, and my colleagues, that they these tax breaks have been in existence since 2001. they were in existence 15:48:25throughout almost all of president bush's tenure. the end result was that we lost 600,000 private sector jobs. 15:48:37lost 600,000 private sector jobs. the worst job performance record maybe in the history of this country. trickle-down economics does not work. giving tax breaks to billionaires does not stimulate 15:48:50the economy. helping working families and the middle class get decent jobs, tax breaks for people who need the money and are going to spend the money is what's going to create jobs, not giving tax breaks to billionaires who don't 15:49:06need it and won't spend it. if people think this is just temporary, this is just two years, i believe you're kidding yourselves. i believe that two years from now the debate will be about extending them or perhaps even making them permanent. 15:49:23at a time, a i -- as i mentioned earlier where the top 1% has seen a huge increase in the percentage of income they earn in this country. going from 18% in the 1970's now. 15:49:37to 23.5%. the top 1% earn more than the bottom 50%. it is totally absurd to give tax breaks to people who do not need them and it is not good economics as well. here's the other -- i guess by this time i've got to be doing a 15:49:56little repetition here. as i mentioned earlier you have a number of millionaires and some of the richest people in this country who will benefit from these tax breaks. you know what warren buffett is saying? you know what bill gates is saying? 15:50:10you know when ben from bed and jerry's -- ben & jerry's is saying? hey, thanks. i don't need it. it is more important to protect children. it is more important to protect working families. our tax rates from soar -- we have the absurd situation is not 15:50:30only is this bad public policy, we are actually forcing tax breaks on people who don't need them and don't even want them. richest people in this country, bill gates, warren buffett, we don't want them. 15:50:45now, here's something else -- here's something else that needs to be understood. what the republicans are doing in this agreement is driving up the national debt. and you may think, well, that's not what republicans really 15:51:02believe in. they're supposed to be conservatives. they don't want a high national debt. why would they give tax breaks to the rich? these guys are not dumb and i think they know what they're doing. 15:51:16here's what the argument is, if you drive up the national debt and the deficit, you then come back to the floor of the senate and you say, you know what is this this -- you know what? this national debt is unsustainable and the only way we can deal with it now is by 15:51:34cutting, cutting, cutting. and we are already beginning to -- beginning to hear what some -- how some of those thoughts are going to develop. there was, as you know, mr. president, a deficit reduction commission appointed 15:51:50bit president. and i had very -- when i heard who was going to be chairing that commission or co-chairing it, alan simpson, a very nice gentleman, but a very, very conservative republican who has attacked social security for a 15:52:07very long period of time, erskine bowles, a conservative democrat, i had serious doubts about what was going to come out of that commission. the good news is they needed 14 votes to pass their recommendations. they didn't get the 14. 15:52:22but a lot of the ideas that senator simpson and mr. bowles develops are going to be filtering around this institution. and what the republicans will say is that when you have a huge debt, which they helped create, 15:52:41we're going to have to cut. what are we going to have to do? as you'll recall, mr. president, the commission recommended a savage cut, 20% in social security benefits for workers. 15:52:54there was talk about raising the social security age up to i think 69. they're talking about cuts in medicare, cuts in medicaid, cuts in education. i mean right now is -- i think i've documented a dozen times it 15:53:11is a horrendous situation when so many of our young people can't afford to go to college and when they do go to college and graduate they have $25,000 in debt. these guys on the reduction 15:53:26commission were recommending that the interest on that debt be accrued while students are in college. so here we have slipping behind 15:53:34the rest of the world in terms of our percentage of college graduates and this recommendation is on young people who don't have a lot of money, borrowing money, they're going to have to pay more to go to college. here's the argument and it will be in the congressional record, 15:53:48check it out. see if i'm right. the argument will be the national debt is going up, we'll have to cut social security, medicare, medicaid, veterans programs, senator landrieu made this point, made a point a little while ago, she said -- 15:54:04and i think this is roughly right, our soldiers, men and women in the armed forces are going to get a 1.8% increase in their salaries. people putting their lives on the line to defend this country. $250 check for 50-plus million 15:54:23seniors and disabled vets. we couldn't pass it. they're going to come back and cut and cut and cut in the name of trying to deal with the high deficit which they are now increasing, and that's an issue 15:54:36that we must be addressing. so, mr. president, in my view while there are some good parts of the proposal, it is certainly one that should be significantly 15:54:54improved. and i believe that the way it can be improved is by the american people beginning to get 15:55:06involved in the process. i can tell you, as i said earlier, i don't know how the calls are going today in my office, because i have been here. but for the last three days we have received thousands of phone calls an e-mails and over 98% of them have been against this 15:55:23proposal. the american people believe, the people in development believe that we can -- in vermont believe we can do a lot better job in crafting a proposal that represents the middle class and our kids and not just the wealthiest people in this country. mr. president, when we talk 15:55:42about this proposal negotiated by the white house and the republican leadership, again, it has to be put within the broad context of what's going on in america. and that context is not a pretty picture. 15:56:00that context -- that context requires us to understand that the middle class, which has been the backbone of this country for so very long, is in the process of disappearing. 15:56:15in the context -- and that context makes us understand that millions of families in this country are worried, parents are worried not just about their own lives. they're prepared to work 50 or 60 hours a week. they're prepared to cut back on 15:56:30their own needs. but i think what is hurting them more deeply is the kind of future they are contemplating for their children. they are worried that for the first time in the modern history of america their kids will get jobs, which will pay them lower 15:56:47salaries than what the parents have earned. they are worried that unemployment will be much more likely for their kids than for themselves. they'll be worried that while they were able to scrape 15:57:00through, and in my case, i was able to scrape through college, you know, borrowed some money and did some jobs and make -- made it like millions of other people. they're worried with the high cost of education and the reduction in real earnings, they're not going to be able to 15:57:16send their kids to college. i have received e-mails, as i'm sure you have, mr. president, the saadest things in the -- the sadest thing in the world, the most we wanted to do is send our 15:57:32daughter, our son to college, we can't do that now. and that is the overall context that this agreement has got to be placed in. and the issue is again and again and again, the richest people in this country do not need tax 15:57:48breaks. they're doing phenomenally well. they've already been given huge amounts of tax breaks. it is the working families, the lower income people that we've got to be worrying about, and not just the wealthy and the powerful. 15:58:03mr. president, when we talk about why the middle class is declining, that is a tough issue and i'm not here to suggest that i know all of the answers. i surely don't. it is a complicated issue and people have differences of opinion. let me touch on a few areas that i think will explain why poverty is going up and the middle class 15:58:22is going down. and one of them deals with our trade policies. i can remember, mr. president, a number of years ago i was in the 15:58:35house of representatives, and i can remember the lobbyists and the big money interest coming around and saying, well, if you guys only pass nafta, this would create a whole lot of jobs in 15:58:47the united states because we would be able to ship products made in america to mexico. and, in fact, as i recall, and it seems almost humorous now is what they said if we pass nafta it would solve the problem of illegal immigration because the 15:59:04economy of mexico would be so strong, people would stay in their own country and not try to sneak across the border. it is somewhat humorous that that issue was even discussed. but one of the reasons, mr. president, that, 15:59:21unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, we have not dealt with is our starterus -- disasterus trade relations, that is trade 15:59:40policies which have encouraged large corporations in this country to send jobs abroad because they can find workers in other countries, in low-wage countries, who are prepared to work for pennies an hour. 15:59:57and, you know, i think -- not only haven't we addressed this issue from an economic perspective, the way we should -- and i have to tell you, mr. president, i know that during campaigns a lot of members of congress put their
