this incredible hostage speaking in situation
going on down in in uh...
don't knock down in here in washington d_c_
the
the natural disasters that we've had so far this year
uh... most most of them by the way that you can track back to the fact that this
five percent more moisture in the atmosphere right now than there was
twenty five years ago thirty years ago as a result of all those carbon dioxide
always greenhouse gases
at five percent extra moisture was european at bay
water vapor itself is a greenhouse gas
and it's but it did the main thing is not only is it exacerbating the warming
but it's also
increase enough
the violence and the and the brats
todd these storms whether it's hurricane's going up the east coast
whether it's mile wide tornadoes coming across that in the midwest taking out
joplin missouri whether it's
uh... you know the flooding in the hitting that the state of vermont taking
out roads
pretty soon it's all the great story by that by the way over the weekend
uh... we were both
speaking at the fighting bob fest
and he said he was in everything in the town that he inhumanity mention of any
reason some little town in vermont
and the uh... the the is with the mayor
and it was showing them
there were a road in som
and some of the infrastructure ya washout
by the flood
and the guide
blows up a piece of pipe
and uses this piece of pipe is what's been supply in the city with the water
and we have to replace it now he said that the the last guy who put despite
the end
after he designed and forge the pipe and installed it
went off to work as an engineer mechanical engineer in the war
embrace it all really which war
and the guys in the civil war
as the state of our infrastructure in the united states i mean basically
reagan stopped building anything and we have adult anything in thirty years
and much of our infrastructure is not twentieth century's nineteenth century
from the eighteen hundreds
although we can spend money and infrastructure that might create some
jobs if you create some jobs you might get the unemployment level down
hit the unemployment level down then you might end up
with president obama getting reelected put number seven year jacob senator ***
durbin lays this out
and then i'll tell you the details of this hostage crisis that's been played
out from this
it's pretty easy for the republicans to stay on message when the messages
do-nothing and protect millionaires did you hear the latest
a letter from the republican leaders in the house and senate to the federal
reserve board instructing them not to take immediate action to lower interest
rates in the next two days debt is as one former commissioner said outrageous
and offensive so here's the bottom line
paid the republicans want to make sure that the economy is as bad as imaginable
as bad as conceivable idea in get even worse than that in conceivably bad
donation to the economy absolutely socks
in a member of twenty twelve
so that they can't blame it on president obama and factors new polo showing the
more more americans are blaming the economy and president obama
so they think they can be him on that politically particularly if they get
somebody like the rendezvous unclaimed
on on those brown on economy works
or they can get some electric period is a lot created a elmore talkable jogger
you don't know wage jobs and mister texas and all other states combined rich
which is true if you're a big fan of minimum wage jobs is jim hightower said
over the weekend jobs are at the issues slaves had jobs
uh... it's good paying jobs
but in any case
the republicans have
shoot pieces to the strategy one which leads us to this hostage taking nyc the
next keep referring to our lately out the details for you
one is
make the economy sock
which means don't spend any money
he meant that money means rebuilding
the the the they have got what i washed out of the floods you in the northeast
rebuilding the town in joplin missouri
rebuilding the damage along the gulf coast
rebuilding you know if you still on the blank the from natural disasters even if
it means you know dealing in a rebuilding things that were were taken
out by the wildfires in new mexico where is out on taxes
dust-up any entity that
we're very very little
and secondly
don't spend that money because the republicans
theory
that they want americans to buy is that
the reason why you have to have small governments his government can't do
anything well
government is incompetent
this is why they hate social security social security
has never missed a check of seventy five years
seventy six years that never missed a check
so the hostage taking that's going on
is who we have about thirty six billion dollars worth of damage natural disaster
so far this year
and freeman other agencies need just been are are in there to the right out
of money
and local because the cities counties states are asking for federal aid they'd
been designed declared disasters
but congress has to property money
so the senate
has this problem as reconciliation bill is this or this uh... you know the giant
spending bill for the div bond the entire government
an f_-sixteen the lower six billion dollars for disaster aid in their and
the house
they're saying that the republicans is and i gotta go over three billion
three-and-a-half billion at the most
and they've may well be *** shut down the government over it
they don't want that extra three billion dollars going out there for disaster
relief
because that will put people to work rebuilding those roads and rebuilding
those solar systems and rebuilding those towns and communities
and when those people go to work
unemployment will go down
they'll blow off their political strategy their election year strategy
so watch this the next hostage crisis
is going to be about that
