unfairness of the global free trade who was the alluding to. later that was a big head nod to china remember that even before he touched down here in switzerland the president signed off on trade tariffs on solar panels on washing machines up to fifty percent some people say on some of those tariffs provoking from china and from a south korea who those trade tariffs were aimed against he said that we want a free and fair trading system perhaps the irony is though that the body the all the traits fair trade is the world trade organization in geneva which the united states president has also said that the u.s. wants out of he also made head nod again to china referring to intellectual property theft which he said washington would no longer tolerate now in a major trade deals as you know better than anybody else taking years of painstaking negotiations through the business leaders gathered in davos believe that he will actually read buddies deals or are they just moving on now without the u.s. . but of course a year ago we saw president rip up t.p

it is unfair to the american people. it is unfair to the armed forces. it is unfair to all of us. 3 and a half months have gone in the fiscal year and yet the children's health insurance program has not been reauthorized. this is a program that has existed for decades with bipartisan support. how can we not reauthorize the chip program? 3 and a half months of the fiscal year have come and gone, we have not reauthorized the community health center program which provides primary health care, dental care, low-cost prescription drugs to 27 million americans in every state in this country. mr. president, if legislation were brought to the floor of the senate today, the stabenow bill reauthorizing this, i suspect we would get 70, 75 votes. yet republicans, after three and a half months have not been able to reauthorize health care or the chip program. mr. president, when we talk about the budget process, we are talking about three major issues. there are more, but there are three major issues. number one, will we continue to have parity in spending between def

last year as part of comprehensive tax reform, we repealed the unfair individual mandate tax at the heart of obamacare. now we've taken care of three more. one of obamacare's deeply unpopular tax on medical devices, another was the so-called cadillac tax that senator heller of nevada has worked hard to delay. that tax penalizes employers who offer generous benefits. and the third simply called the health insurance tax makes plans more expensive. all three of these taxes are unpopular. all are key pieces of the failing obamacare health law. and now because this congress is so intent on saving the american people money, all three of them will be delayed. personally, i like the way "the new york times" put it. their headline read, quote, there is a surprise in the government funding bill. more tax cuts. here's the story's first line: congress is apparently not done cutting taxes. even after passing a $1.5 trillion tax overhaul last year. well, mr. president, i couldn't say it better than the "new york times." the senate is never done looking for new ways to take money out of washington's poc

what it also matters is the unfairness of it and how different parts of the countries are affected in different ways. you have parts of the poorer parts of london and the west midlands are picked out here, where almost half of children our obese. in wealthier parts of the country it might be only 25%, it says on richmond upon thames, a swankier pa rt richmond upon thames, a swankier part of london. it is still a lot, one in four. their behalf in poorer areas. not only a growing problem of obesity but how it is linked to poverty. and how lifelong those effects can be. the quote we have from the royal college of paediatrics and child health is that four fifths of obese children can expect to remain obese as adults and that will cut their life expectancy byur) that will cut their life expectancy by up to ten years. being born poor will literally make you live for less long. they also calling for curbs on the advertising of unhealthy food. we have heard that before. it doesn't get much traction. unless they have missed things, all that happened last time there was a huge call for stopping

here's the president last night talking about unfair trade practices. finallyca has also turned the page on decades of unfair trade deals that sacrifice their prosperity and shipped away our companies, our jobs and our wealth. our nation has lost its wealth but we are getting it back so fast. surrender isonomic totally over. from now on we expect trading relationships to be fair and very importantly reciprocal. [applause] we will work to fix bad trade deals and negotiate new ones and they will be good ones but they will be fair. we will work to fix bad trade and we will protect american workers and american intellectual property through strong enforcement of our trade rules. getting your thoughts this morning on the washington journal. kingsley in charlotte, north carolina on the line for democrats. caller: two quick comments. i am tired of our resident. he is exhausting. every day. the wholeand country is worn ou. daily chaos. now i don't ever watch tv because he is exhausting. he aggrandize us himself. have patience with democratic party leadership. i
