6:01 am
in the senate push the president to change course? this morning, more bad weather delays and the arrival of an american aircraft characterer to help victims in the philippines. we will go live for the latest. as boeing lands, the biggest state tax break in american history. a deep dive into how far states, counties and cities will go to do business with big business. this is actually corporate welfare. wednesday, november 13th, 2013. the first read is straight ahead, we will start with the latest on the scope of the devastation left by typhoon haiyan. this is what we know about the philippines. the death toll is 2,344 and that is expected to rise. the president said it is not likely to reach the 10 thousand estimate as some had thought. at least two u.s. citizens are among the dead.
6:02 am
the filipino red cross puts the preliminary number of missing at 22,000 people. the filipino government said they have been unable to get casualty figures from 29 municipalities. they are doing what they can to get aid to people in need. 250 marines are on the ground now and that number is likely to grow to about 2,000 in the coming days. u.s. aircraft delivered 107,000 pounds of relief supplies. more tough news for those desperate for relief. the uss george washington has been delayed by bad weather and not expected to arrive for four to five days. another way to look at the devastation is through the before and after pictures. they are unbelievable. the picture on the left was taken in february. the on the right was taken sunday.
6:03 am
images from a satellite company called digital globe showed the impact of the post line. you can see how far the water got inland overwhelming the low-lying areas. we are joined live from nbc that will happen about 30 minutes from now. all sorts of issues getting relief to those in need. they r they are scrambling in an interview to americans whose health insurance plans have been canceled. >> obviously we didn't do a good enough job in how we drafted the law. that's something that i would right and do everything we can to get fixed. >> yesterday former president bill clinton became the latest to call on the president to keep that promise in an interview with the magazine, he told the
6:04 am
story of a young healthy man whose premiums had gone up after the one he bought on the market was canceled. >> he said we are all young and healthy. i personally believe even if it takes changing the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people. >> as to whether he agrees with the carnage, there is no daylight between the two men. >> you saw the president say in an interview with nbc last week, the answer is yes, they asked the team with looking at a range of options as he said to make sure nobody is put in a position where the plans have been cancel and they can't afford a better plan. >> the white house pointed out that clinton argued the big lesson is we are better off with the law than without.
6:05 am
he seized on the comments. >> i agree with clinton that that is something that ought to be attempted. we have people in the lawsuits and can't get new ones. they have been declared because of the standards that are blin in regulations. i am not sure how you go peel back that onion. >> that's exactly the issue the white house is dealing with. they are trying to figure that out. speaker boehner said in a statement these comments signify a growing rec nation americans were misled that they could keep their coverage. the white house is mulling a few administrative fixes including a one-year rule that allows companies on the individual market to sell the same plans and prams an increase in subsidies for plans that have become unaffordable though it's not clear where the money would come from. the administration may not have
6:06 am
much time. california senator dianne feinstein became the latest democrat to sign on to legislation proposed by mary landry and joe manchin to keep plans they have. it would require insurers to meet the laws of minimum coverage requirements. she called it a common sense fix saying since the beginning of support, i received 30,842 calls, e-mails and letters and many are distressed by the cancellations and who are facing increased out of pocket costs. feinstein not an endangered red state democrat. don't under estimate the experience of this signal to the administration. the house is expected to vote on a bill sponsored by fred upton to allowtome to offer current policies into next year.
6:07 am
they were asking them to vote against the bill and wait to support her bill if it gets sent to the house. expect the bill to get democratic votes. there no plans to put the bill on the floor of the senate. if they cannot come up with a fix, there would be pressure to do just that. in a new poll, the president's approval rating has fallen through the 40 floor. just 44% said the president is honest and trustworthy. that's down ten points from a month ago and another all time low. hard to see how the president's numbers improve quickly regarding honest and trustworthiness. this washington story proves to be correct. according to the post, workers and contractors racing to repair the website are saying the website is unlikely to fully work by the end of november. they are pushing that card on
quote
6:08 am
this. one spokesman said as they said on the record as opposed to an unnamed and unidentified official, we expect the website to function effectively for the vast majority of users by the end of the month. don't be surprised if you hear more about it this hour. they will grill five administration officials involved in the roll out of healthcare.gov including the chief technology officer who issa subpoenaed last week, a move they call unfortunate and unnecessary. the white house decided not to fight it even though they think what issa is doing is a witch hunt. the track record has been sketchy at best though the public is disgusted at congress as well as the president and hard to see how the president pulls out of this any time soon. he may wish to talk about something other than health care. they should talk about other things besides health care. until the website works and
6:09 am
enrollment is more reliable, he is stuck and will look silly talking about anything else. his credibility on other issues is being called into question. now he might as well treat health care like it's the only issue on the plate. my next guest said the perceived problems with health care reform are essential mechanisms built into the law to make it work. the law was designed to force policies to be canceled. i am joined now by the massachusetts health reform and affordable care act. professor of economics, mr. grubaer, good morning. >> good to be here. >> you have been quoted in numerous places as saying this idea of fixing this issue for those on the individual market or getting these policy cancellations and policies they would like to keep, saying going down that road is a road that could unravel the law. explain this to me.
6:10 am
>> let's start with understanding. we are not talking about the vast majority of americans. this law is those who lose employer insurance and government insurance alone. it's a small minority on the way to the individual market. it's 40%. >> still millions of people. >> exactly. 12 million people and about a 30 will end up paying more under the law. that as you said is the idea. we currently have highly discriminatory systems. if you are going to be sick or get sick, you cannot get health insurance. the only way to end that system is to bring everyone into the system and pay a fair price. that means the winner who is have been paying a low price now will have to pay more. we will have a system where over 30 million people will access fairly price and guaranteed health insurance.
6:11 am
politics trumps policy. you have a law that was supposed to be designed and this political train may be leaving the station. the various ideas that are out there are any one better than the other in your view as to not undo the law as the way you described it could be undone? >> there is a clear solution that doesn't undo the law. you could offer what we could call tax credits to those who are affected. they have a special tax credit that helps meet the solution. that requires congress willing to cooperate and congress isn't. >> that's something we have learned. i want to talk about enrollment. we have estimates that come out and we expect sometime this week
6:12 am
the estimates from the administration. what you have seen and the numbers that you know about are lower than what's necessary. going forward at 100,000 enrollees, going forward, what are you looking for. what is the experience of say december 15th during this six-month enrollment period? >> it's a great question. this is new, but a similar transition and the first month, 0.3% of the people who enrolled enrolled in the first month. if you take the numbers that people are throwing around now, that's about 1.3% of the target that the budget office laid out. >> it's better than expected? >> at least as well as massachusetts. it's too early, a. b, it's not the numbers that matter so much as the health mix. are we getting in young and healthy people? what we know is those people
6:13 am
will come in last. they will come in in the early spring as the individual mandate deadline approaches. only once the mandate bit that all of a sudden you saw young healthy people come in. it's too early to make evaluations. par think the march 15th and march 31st should be when we are looking to see if enrollment has been a success. >> stronger than that. we cannot evaluate the success or failure before that date. >> everything you are hearing about the people who have been enrolling. are you concerned about the trends and you think everything is going exactly as expected in massachusetts experience. i don't think it's a crisis yet and get the website in time to meet the mandate. otherwise it's too early. we want numbers to pay attention to and that would be great, but
6:14 am
it's too early to say anything useful. unfortunately negative means about the website to drowned out the fact that we should be calm and let this play out. if you do, you will be in a good position by march. you concerned that all of the negative portrayals and the perception that the website may not work on december 1st as the administration would like to see and that would drive people away from even going to the website? >> i thank absolutely is a concern. as i said, it's really a problem as long as the mix and insurers had a mix of healthy and not healthy. they will be able to meet the goals they set with the low rates. you won't suffer rate shock next year. >> if congress ends up changing this law to figure out a way and it's not tax credits, the impact
6:15 am
on the law, do you think this will undermine it and this will keep young and healthy people from being in the exchanges? >> i think it could. it depends on what congress does. there is a range of options. there is a short-term option that could grandfather people here for a couple of months. that would not have an enormous effect. they could grand father people for a year and have a serious negative effect. we will have to see. it depends how many people choose that. the real disaster is the upton bill. that's clearly a horrible approach to undermine the law. not only grandfathering, but allowing the uncomprehensive plans to continue. there is no argument for that other than to undermine that. >> one of the architects of mass law and the affordable care act itself. you are becoming a familiar face
6:16 am
to a lot of people. thanks if are coming on. >> my pleasure. >> the biggest corporate subsidy ever. would you believe more than $8 billion. billion with a b. boeing is the big winner this time. not the only that benefitted. a deep dive into how states are carving out giant tax loopholes to keep corporations in their own back yard and we will look at how it ends up costing you money, the taxpayer. we will look at the politics planner. we may be talking about health care, but it's a private meeting between secretary kerry and the senate banking committee on iran. they are trying hard to prevent congress from doing new sanctions on iran while they try to negotiate. it will be interesting to see. you are watching "the daily rundown" only on msnbc.

6:18 am
6:20 am
>> today a deep dive into how far cities and states will go to learn private industry and how much of your tax dollars ends up being spent to make it happen. dmas point. the deal that wash state is offering to boeing to make sure it builds its new 777 x jetliner. they agreed to, ready for this? $8.7 billion tax break. invest 78s to the aircraft manufacturer from now until the year 2040. this is a great day for everyone
6:21 am
in washington. that will secure tens of thousands of jobs and yield huge benefits and bolster our state's legacy as the aerospace capital of the world. the deal would amount to the largest corporate tax subsidy any state has offer and represent 10% of all corporate subsidies and knock alcoa out of the top spot. in 2007 the power authority agreed to give electricity a quarter of the standard rate if it builds the aluminum plant there. the savings is 5.6 billion over 30 years. boeing got the third largest deal ten years ago. washington state provided $3.2 billion so boeing would build the 787 dream liner in the plant. nike got over $2 billion to stay in beaverton and intel got two
6:22 am
billion in new neck mexico for a chip factory. that's the top five. here's the rest of the top. in 2010 the natural gas company struck a nearly $1.7 billion deal to build a plant in louisiana. royal dutch shell got $6.5 billion for a plant in pennsylvania. michigan gave 1.3 billion to chrysler and 2006 advanced microdevices received a capital grant and r&d grant and state text credit to the tune of $1.2 billion. these mega deals are relatively new. of the 28 corporate subsidy packages worth at least a half billion, two were awarded. 17 were part of deals struck over the past seven years. all 12 of the billion dollar deals happened since 2000.
6:23 am
it's not just corporations. as we speak, officials in cob county, georgia are trying to lure the braves out of downtown offering them nearly a half billion to build their new ballpark in the suburbs. supporters of these mega deals said they create jobs and attract investment and give a lift to the region. the money benefits the companies and shareholders and leave taxpayers holding the bag. they do a lot of stuff looking at the business. let's look at the washington state bureau. obviously the impact of both leaving washington state. it would have been an economic disaster. >> back in the 1970s when boeing was cutting jobs down about to about 30,000. there were billboards in seattle that said with the last person out of seattle turn out the lites. boeing is a huge part of the
6:24 am
city and state. the reason it's south of rent on, the state basically has to do everything they can. boeing has them over a barrel and by the way, boeing is at such an advantage that the other part of the deal is a negotiation with the machinists union and the contracts they are offering is not as good as the contracts that have gone on strike over. >> what's interesting there is essentially bowing is getting this deal from the state and something perhaps they thought this was the deal they could get no matter what and it's not a done deal. >> if this deal doesn't happen, bowing is threatening to leave. >> the machinists were voting on the contract that will know by this evening whether or not it passes. this legislation was just a finy part of the broader deal. the $8.7 billion over the next years leading into 2040 are two
6:25 am
to 4% on what they will pay. it's a small part of their overall bottom line. >> what's interesting is all of these deals when politicians sell them, it's going to create jobs and going to be a boom for the economy. do we know that for sure? >> no, we don't. it's not entirely clear that the deals lead to job creation. as i said -- >> make sure you don't lose jobs. >> sure. >> it's bay paying not to lose jobs. >> when the company goes into a location for a new plant, taxes are part of that. it's the end of the day, it's a small difference. it's the difference of 1% or 2%. the jobs will go somewhere. this is more of states pitting against each other. >> it seems where we have a messed up system here. all right, boeing gets the great deal. the company that is a tenth of
6:26 am
its size is never going to get that. >> in the washington state case, they passed by huge bipartisan majorities. >> and boeing gives money to both sides? >> of course they do. in many, many states. the residual industries. it's not just boeing. the 56 thousand jobs that are supported by the 777 x. it's garbage delivery men. >> they get the benefit from the jobs. if those 20 or 30,000 jobs that depend on that are not there, the local restaurants or cafes are not selling that extra cup of coffee. >> why the tax laws are so complicated and silly. >> they are 600 to 700 for one company or another. it's called the wash state swiss
6:27 am
cheese tax code. >> it's like this all over. >> the state in particular has a massive tax code that they will let major companies get out of having to deal with this. >> this started in the 1970s. it's the first of the mega deals. pennsylvania gave $100 million to attract the volkswagen plant. that volkswagen plant brought 5,000 jobs and shut down in 1988. >> the tax breaks are still there. >> volkswagen is not doing that. $100 million for 12 years. >> it is amazing. we know states are doing this. it's a bipartisan deal that gets at this whole thing. it's fully corporate welfare. good stuff. thank you, sir. much more still ahead on "the daily rundown." we will show you a first of its kind act that we're betting will get copied a lot. capital hill and members of congress are gathering for the overtight committee hearing

>> as promised, we will keep monitoring the house hearing to see if there is light that comes out of that hearing. this is dire in the philippines. looting and violence has been an added element of the chaos. the mayor is respectedly urging survivors to flee to other cities. guess what. local authorities are overwhelmed. residents search for usable items and looters have cleared out warehouses and stolen aid supplies and begun robbing the few homes still standing. food and fuel are in extremely short supply and people resorted to digging up underground water pipes in order to get something to drink. grocery store and gas station owners whose businesses are still standing are refewing to
6:39 am
open because of a lack of security. they are attempting to keep order and some exchanged fire with armed gangs earlier today and at least eight people were crushed to death when a mob stormed a government warehouse to get sax of rice that were inside. the city administrator said a fraction are getting aid. one said splice are in the country. closed roads and a lack of trucks are keeping it from getting to the people who need it the most. >> i have seen all of those pictures and heard complaints from people and i agree with them. you can't have people who are here who are desperate can't get anything to eat and don't have water. it's basic. >> live for us in manila. it's a gleam picture that appears to be painted right now as far as security and the title get aid to the desperate areas. do the philippines have enough
6:40 am
military resources to deal with this? >> i think they do. the problem is not the resources. not just in the philippines, but also all the promises of help from outside. it's physically getting this aid to where it's needed. the government here is very much on the defensive. today saying that they did face huge obstacles and putting the blame on the infrastructure and the destruction and on the debris. saying that a lot of the local government infrastructure had been destroyed. it's not the local government in many of the areas for whom they can administer aid and having to bring in their own people from manila to set things up from scratch. as you mentioned, the raid on the government rice warehouse today. one official even described that as an act of self preservation rather than looting. also the digging up of the water
6:41 am
pipes. there is a clearer picture emerging of what happened away from there. interestingly again this is from the mayor of that city. he said a lot of people came into the area before the storm and they did that because they usually come to seek shelter when storms come through. they thought it would give them more protection. of course that was not counting on the storm surge that swept in and caused most of the loss of life. luckily that surm was not so prevalent in other places where it was the wind that caused the destruction where the loss of life has been less. the loss of property has been huge where people have been made homeless and the need for basic aid is as great as it is there. where it is still very, very slow in getting there. >> i know the united states is trying to get -- we have 200 marines on the ground and trying to get it up to 2,000.
6:42 am
is this going to be a situation where u.s. marines are going to be asked to help with security issues? >> that are seems inevitable. the reports that we are hearing from the area, the government is saying look, we have the security situation under control. there is a curfew and there road check points that have been set up. the picture they paint is of a more secure city in tacloban. people are increasingly desperate. good sign they have seen the u.s. marines are preparing to bring equipment into the airport that will enable it to function 24 hours a day, bringing in night flights that will massively improve the flow of aid and ability to get people who want to leave out of that city. clearly we are looking forward to those communities with the
