non-farm payrolls to rise. and the unemployment rate will remain unchanged at seven and a half percent. david: all of this could affect what the fed does and, of course, that affects the market. >> i'm dennis kneale and here is what is "money" tonight. the billionaire brothers under assault, enemies pulling out all the stops to block them from bidding for the l.a. times and others newspapers. the newspapers are dying. what is so bad about these guys? there money is not good enough. lose 20 pounds eating mcdonald's every day. this ceo may accidentally had just invented the meat diet. did he stumble across a delicious at campaign? and he made money today? the profits may as well be glazed and liquefied sugar. but even when they say it's not, it's always about "money." ♪
5:01 pm
dennis: and our stock -- top story tonight, social security and how long will it really last. the annual social security trustees report released today says the program will go belly up in just 20 years. the medicare finance committee 30 years or so to go bust. is the situation dire or nothing to worry about? here to cross the numbers, co-director of social security works and dan mitchell from the cato institute. thank you for being with us. why don't you start us off. what do you think of the report? >> actually it's good news for the american people showing that social security is extremely affordable. it is working even in this recession. $54 billion surplus. and almost $3 trillion a cumulative surplus and it can pay all benefits for the next 20 years and with just small
5:02 pm
changes it can pay benefits for the foreseeable future. dennis: okay. but we have some numbers that we put together. take a look. this year so security, 2013, it will stand at $75 billion more than it takes an in social security taxes on top of $55 billion more than social security spent than it took in last year and $45 billion the year before that. this overspending looks like it just cannot go on. what do you say? >> the real problem with social security is in the long run. what do you -- whether you call it a crisis or something it can be managed when you have between this year and a 75 year time horizon that security uses, cumulative deficits amounting to about $20 trillion, that is a real problem. that would either require huge tax increases or benefit cuts which is why i think the best thing that we could do is to copy countries like australia and sweden that have put in place personal retirement
5:03 pm
accounts. dennis: nancy, even the report says that social security is safe for only 20 years. neville, a lot faster. bush should we do? >> social security is an extremely conservatively financed program. it cannot pay benefits unless it has in some teeseven, sufficient to pay. so it has a surplus last year, this year and for the next 20 years. then it will make the wealthiest pay their fair share. right now they stop thh pain at $113,700. most workers pay. that would solve the problem and be able to pay benefits. security is a solution to retirement income. it is much worse, much more efficient and private pensions. it spends less than a penny of every dollar spent on administrative costs. you cannot find that in the private sector. dennis: i never heard anyone make this argument. >> two things, number one, if you extend the social security
5:04 pm
payroll tax all income and turn it from a social insurance program into a welfare program, that undermines support for the program and imposes a huge over 12% marginal tax rating on top of the tax increases obama already give us as part of the fiscal cliff. another thing that your viewers need to understand, the so-called trust fund that is out there with that trillions of dollars, that is nothing but ious. it is money that one part of the government opposed to another part of the government. your kids' piggy bank, taking the money, going to vegas in writing and i know you to yourself. it is not of real asset. even the present administration admitted that. dennis: he has a point. all of those wonderful figures you point out are based upon the government actually paying for all of the interested goes to the social security fund. that is not real money. >> these are federal bonds
5:05 pm
backed by the full faith and credit of the united states. the same status as the money we go to china and all other kinds of foreign countries. you telling me we will pay back american workers? this is money taken out of workers' paychecks and contributed. you can look in the trustees' report. dennis: the figures show that while we put in a dollar we end up taking out $2.24 over the lifetime of our retirement. this is not working. the math work in all. >> in terms of rates of return that you were just referencing, if he retired 20 years ago, you probably got a pretty good deal out of social security. for today's younger workers the way the tax burden has increased, we will pay and a lot of money to social security and get very, very little. there would be so much better off with personal retirement accounts. it is really amazing when you
5:06 pm
have the social democratic left-wing countries that are putting in place personal retirement accounts and it happened under the labor party in australia, for instance. the social democrats had it in sweden. why can't we do it in the united states? thirty countries have done this. it works so much better. >> such -- social security is insurance against old age, disability, or death with young children. you cannot find a better deal. you cannot find this inflation adjusted benefits. you cannot find the spousal benefits. the children's benefits. social security is a great deal for the american people. that's why it's so popular. the entire shortfall is less than 1 percent of gdp. we are the wealthiest country in the nation. our benefits are quite modest. we can clearly a force of security. >> a good deal. dennis: we have to let you go. thank you very much. and for viewers, the -- the

5:14 pm
gets a potential attack. what kind of impact would that have on investors? joining me now, founder and managing partner. and before we get into this, let's just talk about the market getting slaughtered in the last hour. today. is this summer rally now over? >> very interesting. i have been talking about a sell-off here in the marketplace because i think things have gotten ahead of themselves. so i am actually not surprised and the dow jones sell-off. i think that there is actually more room to go here based upon, look, the macro trend, i think, that gdp growth, unemployment rate, nationally over seven and a half% furling the amount of time as well as on the way to a 17 trillion national debt. those factors are still there. now, i think more than ever, the marketplace, the stock ticker's market place. it with a trusted adviser and figure out which companies you like in a market that i think
5:15 pm
you have to be proactively patient in and pick your spot entering into because as of today we saw i dow jones sell-off very quickly. i could easily see it going down to 15,000 quickly as well teeseven i think there is another side to that. we will have to see what happens next week. let's get into the cyber stuff. we already have laws on the books to require companies to make a disclosure when a material event happens. why do we need a new law on the books to say, oh, and also, cyber attack. you have to disclose that, too. if a cyber attack has material results they have to disclose it anyway. why go the step further? >> it is important to have shareholders aware of a material and believe the lawyers up to defining what material means. a material effect on the company . in a material fact -- material effect would be like someone had sent to coca-cola and finds the secret recipe and social shareholders be aware of the fact that that recipe was
5:16 pm
stolen? yes. but i think that material -- i don't think a material effect is a system was broken into any firewall prevented people from getting any information. should that be disclosed automatically? i don't think so. there has to be some level of privacy for these companies. i am all for protecting shareholders, but i think we really have to get into what is material and what is not. dennis: rule of thumb, i always thought of some event has an effect ofpercent change in the company's revenue, profits are stock price is a material event. some 10%. in this case hackers love getting attention. if we start requiring companies to put up a disclosure when they merely threaten to break in, aren't we basically giving them exactly what they want, more publicity? >> i agree with you 100 percent. every time something potentially happens are there is a potential cyber attack i think that we
5:17 pm
play right into exactly what they want, which is just extensive attention. and so i think, again, we have to really sit down because now this is an issue with technologicaa advancement. this is the downside of technology expanding. but i don't believe that we should be able to ave to disclose everything that potentially may happen. dennis: i'm sure they mean well, but sometimes regulators see headlines and have to do something to cash in on it. thank you for being with us tonight. coming upon "money," the koch brothers set their sights maybe on buying the l.a. times and seven other tribune newspapers. there union enemies have aaother tactic to try and stop them. why shouldn't the koch brothers be able to buy any paper they want? and the opportunity of a lifetime to break themselves up. sometimes breaking up is good. can you ever have to much keep -- "money"? i'm thinking now.

♪ dennis: may not even be. it is black, white, and read all over. buying up the tribune newspapers , including the l.a. times. the protesters have been taking to the streets to block the possible deal and had even gone to try behan chairman's home dressed as industrialists. why shouldn't the koch brothers be able to buy the newspapers? exactly what is going on. what is the real objection? >> at think the objection here is they obviously are not buying these newspapers to make a profit. there is not a lot of profit
5:23 pm
these days in buying papers, so obviously you have the concern when you have a buyer who is that politically involved. by the way, i would make the same point if he was a very liberal buyer. dennis: at not heard anyone make this point. and the billionaire is rumored to be interested in buying the l.a. times did not hear a peep. talking about going in, did not hear a peep anywhere. >> it is a very fair point. the concern is, will there be independent journalism? we have to keep in mind that a lot of the newspapers, not just l.a., your talking about orlando, bbltimore, chicago. pretty much the only newspaper in town. dennis: television and cable and the internet. the newspaper might dominate the debate. >> this would give the koch brothers and opportunity to basically not just ship the editorial base which, by the way, they have every right to do absolutely. the concern is that they won't just shaped the editorial page,
5:24 pm
they will start putting some limitations on what stories you cover. dennis: you never heard it these concerns expressed about the new york times. let me tell you something about david koch. who is he? he controls this energy company, but take a look get what he has@ done, donated $100 million to lincoln center, 20 million to the museum of natural history. this guy gives millions of dollars to really give programs that the public enjoys. this money is not good enough for the l.a. times? >> i don't think we'll use that argument. we should use the same argument. dennis: but no one is protesting him. >> is that really the measure? add think he does great things of this money. everything you just listed is true, but that does not qualify and talk of some of the biggest newspapers in the country. he is going to pervert -- dennis: the newspaper business, and i was a newspaper reporter and editor for years. the business is dying for and
5:25 pm
needs new money. if they have it, why not take %-to you see in the liberal meda bias? i'll see any protest for any other kind of honors. this is a hatchet aimed at the koch brothers. >> and double in the tribune. it will take anyone's money who is willing to give it to them. but of course there is a liberal bias in this because they know that there will be aslant, huge slant to the way that the news is covered. there will be the same conservative bias, you have to admit. dennis: there was an article in the new yorker, tom sullivan magazine that i read for 30 years. in august 2010, 10,000 words, ten pages on the koch brothers and their stealth attack on the federal government and buried deep inside this is one paragraph, well, they are giving less than $30 billion a year. george soros, the liberal, spends $100 million per year. that warranted one paid -- one
5:26 pm
paragraph in the new yorker, but the koch brothers spending far less warranted 10,000 words. >> i'm not one to talk. i have to say that up front. listen, again, if it was george sorus stepping up, i would be lying to you if i did not say would be a little more comfortable giving my own grounding, but you would have an absolutely legitimate argument. when you have somebody who gives that much money to the political system, political candidates, you do have to question the independent journalism. dennis: journalism has never been independent anyway. everything has a point of view, and that is fine as long as you reveal a point of view. thank you for being with us. up next, sony, verizon, microsoft. it the opportunity of a lifetime. split themselves up. why investors cannot afford to wait. plus, smelling blood in the water. the new ad campaign directly targets teens. that is what they always say.

last ten or 20 years, a lot of times it can ask the british and thh gym and said the company. our parent company is now splitting between print publishing and b0 screen properties. >> years ago we used to have these people that would come in and buy the stock and tried to take over the company and break them up. that is what wall street was all about. now it seems that buying stock in getting on the board and be a more activist and getting more publicly known, not getting the buyout strategies or corporate raiders. what they're still trying to do is maximize stockholder value. they think they can get some value of the breaking of the company. this is not a new concept. >> the problem and the reason these proposals often come from outside is because doing it requires management to a dictator to of their own strategy. >> what you see is a lot of times, the ceo thinks he is all knowing. you can take over any company. a case where they have all of
5:35 pm
these companies rolled into one. he thought he would be the best and is basically in jail now. all the spinoffs have done very well, not to mention the fact that if you look out, used to be the best year out of the 3-year time cycle. the management is there for that much farther, awakening the mother ship. earnings, pure and simple, to that company. the management of that company is incentivized to perform that much better because usually the spinoffs could some much equity in terms of stock options that it is in their benefit. dennis: last words, will we see more spinoffs coming? >> of course. the shareholders want more value for what they have gotten. if you break up the businesses, the some of the parts is usually worth more than the total which is let think they're going after the environment is right for that because they're is a lot of equity. >> a lot oo money breaking stuff up and five or ten years later they start putting it all back together again.
