mr. kline: i have no -- mr. kline i have no further speak -- mr. kline: i have no further speakers, you have seen from members of the minnesota delegation here tonight, mr. wauls, ms. mccollum, mr. paulsen, this affects members of the guard all over the country. aisle pleased that my friend and fellow committee member and fellow traveler, ms. bordallo is managing the debate on the other side of the aisle. we have traveled to some fairly remote corners of iraq and afghanistan and places like that other the years and i must say i've never been anywhere, anywhere where our nation was at conflict and where we had men and women serving in uniform that we didn't come across somebody from the guam national guard. so i really want to certainly thank her for her support of this legislation but her support of men and women in uniform everywhere, and i know from the reaction i see with those soldiers when they see ms. bordallo, that there is great affection there and respect both ways. again, i want to thank all who weighed in on this. it was clearly an injus

. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from minnesota mr. kline. five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i agree with what i've heard here today from almost everybody, that this fy13 is not a good time to be proposing or executing a brac. so i would say that's a good idea and i would support it but i don't understand the two words. i spent a lot of time planning for all sorts of contingencies in the pentagon, in bases scattered around the world. and i've got this vision of a couple of iron majors, and maybe a colonel at the water founding talking about what would we do under these circumstances? what would happen if we shut down this base? are they planning for brac? are they in violation of the law? because they're getting salary. i just don't understand how we tell the military wherever they are, and the civilians working with them, that you can't plan. i'm sorry to bring this up, but i just -- if we didn't have those two words, or as has been suggested by some of my colleagues, who said you cannot propose or execute a brac in fy13 i'm all there. i think that's a good idea. g

. >> bob: begin with mr. kline who is a liar. for example, he wrote something that the right wing picked up on how obama walked out on netanyahu so he could have dinner with his two daughters and michelle when the daughters and michelle were not there. i'd rather talk about the "national enquirer." the idea that reverend wright, someone tried to bribe him in an e-mail is silly. i bought off a few people in my life. never by e-mail. an always with bags of money. reverend wright credibility he hates obama. but ed klein is a liar and phony. why we're giving him time is beyond me. >> eric: no dispute that president obama spent time -- >> eric: time -- >> bob: nothing to do with the topic. he got out of the church. >> bob: is that what you want to run on? >> greg: talking about romney four days ago about incident in school there. should be statute of limitations. >> bob: this is ed klein. freddie questionable witnesses in the "washington post" story as well. >> eric: this is less about the book. more about what was the relationship. i

mr. chairman, thank you for yielding. >> thank you very much. we're going to have a brief second round, if you're able to stay. i have a question for dr. rivlin and for dr. kline. i don't want to get in so much on the cause, but i'm trying to get an assessment on how serious you think the world financial crisis is. a lot of us, you know, put a lot of blame on monetary policy and federal reserve and the dollar reserve standard and excessive debt in these issues. we're not going to resolve today who's to blame. but do you consider the world financial situation to be a mess or just something that will be taken care of soon and there's not that much to worry about? >> i'm very worried about europe. i think the austerity policies are the wrong policies at the moment. but after the -- they'll make the situation worse. and that would be bad for us. the long run debt situation in europe is serious. but at the moment i would focus attention on their getting out of the recession. for us, i think we
