a large amount of the twentieth century but now they're diverging my guess explains how this topic standby starts right now. behold the birth of gold lying jack loud the c.e.o. of like a sick is the man behind the move he created a code that creates a four or a split in the block chain and tuesday his group pull the trigger on that code the idea is to decentralize bitcoin use moving it away from a small group armed with powerful computers it allows more users with less powerful computers to opt in to the encrypted digital ledger connecting the big point users on wednesday but coyne had a low of five thousand three hundred seventy four dollars and sixty cents and then

recovered nearly three hundred dollars. gold price plunged sixty two percent in its first twenty four hours trading at just over one hundred sixty one dollars per coin big coin was forked to back in july as well producing pickling cash. china is making power moves against the dominance of the us dollar and it may arrive before the new year with the introduction of a petro you on the dollar rules over global oil markets as the world's top oil importer though beijing is aiming to create a benchmark oil price of its very own the plan is to price oil in you on using a gold blacked futures contract in shanghai if this catches on it would be a major step toward the greenback. following the two thousand and eight recession lawmakers implemented the dodd frank bill which. president trump has vowed to dismantle so in july the consumer

financial protection bureau proposed a rule meant to keep some of doj franks guidelines in place but it was just shot down by congress who has more on that for us in a very close vote the senate decided to get rid of the rule that allows consumers to bring class action lawsuits against banks and credit card companies on tuesday vice president mike pence cast the tie breaking vote bringing fifty one to fifty eight the republican controlled house already approved over sending it and president is expected to quickly sign on the rule was proposed by the consumer financial protection bureau back in july to stop companies from using mandatory arbitration clauses the c.f.p. be said the clause is prevent consumers from joining together to sue their bank or financial company for wrongdoing the bureau added by forcing consumers to give up or go it alone usually over small amounts companies can sidestep the court system

avoid big refunds and continue harmful practices following news of the vote c f p b president richard cordray encouraged president trump to veto the resolution and said tonight's vote is a giant step back for every consumer in this country wall street one and ordinary people lost this vote means the courtroom doors will remain closed for groups of people seeking justice and relief when they're wrong by a company the overturning of the arbitration rule foreshadows other changes at the bureau which was created after the two thousand and eight. it's been attacked on several occasions by some republican lawmakers in particular congressman jeb hensarling and throwing once called the c.f.p. be a quote rogue agency that must go so beyond arbitration we could see adjustments made tools regarding payday loans or mortgages down the road as well but an order for more changes the house and senate will likely have to remain under republican control. so i'm wondering if there. these floodgates and what's the reasoning here

why make it harder so the members of congress that voted to sort of nix this rule is. they say that arbitration is cheaper and faster than lawsuits for consumers yet they're saying it's better to just keep in place arbitration because lawsuits aren't going to help people that's so they see this as protecting consumers this decision that they're making to nix this rule and then white house press secretary sarah sanders also said that the world would harm community banks and credit unions by quote allowing frivolous lawsuits by special interest lawyers so that people against this rule are saying you know what you have to enroll we're protecting consumers and we're also protecting the industry so that's their argument right i mean it seems understandable that they would want to protect the special interests who are going to take on big paychecks for this but there was lots of opposition to this i'm sure what does the other side have to say right to the other side of this is that the exact opposite all of the democrats and the two republicans that voted to keep it said that consumers have traditionally gotten more money back through

class action lawsuits versus arbitration so of course both sides are using different numbers here but they really pointed heavily to the wells fargo scam dogs and also at the facts more so wells fargo's that i mean they were saying you know if we didn't have the current guidelines in place would we even know wells fargo and how many other wells fargo's could have been if we were sitting the the rules and see more deregulation you know there's a lot of uncertainty and a lot of unknown for the people that voted to keep the rules about sway you know they're a little more apprehensive to just mix away all of these regulations and what do you also say we've watched the wells fargo debacle play out for so long on this show wouldn't it seem also that that scandal is also just more developed we know more about it especially after the testimony we heard on capitol hill right i mean the floodgates really opened once there we had one small complaint and now it's the little guy really really really suffer and yes right and the reason we know so much is because a lot of the former employers were able to band together so exactly that's what you know in particular senator. elizabeth warren was really driving hard against

a label well yes as we know that you are likely to act. but so that you know it's one of the concerns moving forward at this rule in or other similar guidelines are put in place one by one guy did it i can't believe it thank you so much for all of your information that's been passed down to. it's been fast action on capitol hill regarding tax reform lawmakers are scrambling it seems to push through something somehow how desperate has it gotten in the halls of congress or here to give us a very good idea it's conservative t.v. and radio host so good to have you in the studio great to be here as a new yorker you know not always but i'd like the highest court hearing what's the hurry here are they rushing at you have to think they're rushing well they are rushing it they want to get an accomplishment in the books before the end of the

year now david stockman who was the budget director under ronald reagan in eighty six the last time tax reform was done said it's very amateur to believe that this could get done by the end of the year nonetheless we hear reports from congressmen after congressman chris collins of new york who is a big supporter said i don't know what the brackets are i don't know what's in this i don't know if there's good before one k. reduction i don't know anything so i don't know how that's going to translate to unification or unity within the party and a package does that seem absurd to you that these people aren't going out the door of the morning with basic talking points what can a typical american know about their deductions for a for a one k. for a tyrant how can they not know this the tax free market has very few pages well i don't think they know yet to be honest or if they know it's the bradys of the hatchers the chairman of the committees brady and hatch or both said even though trump said is as recently as today no one's going to touch. for a one k.

contributions nonetheless brady and the pats have said that's not necessarily true even trump says he doesn't want to touch and what they're proposing is that what we've heard is that you could put in eighteen thousand dollars a year right or if you're over fifty you can put in twenty four thousand dollars they want to knock that down to twenty four hundred dollars to do republicans think that trump voters republican voters when ever for that sort of a thing you know i mean i can't imagine it i just can't imagine it and then you also have a lot of questions the state and local tax deduction that's huge would you say you were in. new jersey california where there are democrats states but there you know a lot of republicans a republican congress people and senators and so if you take away that the duction they're going to be very unhappy so that we thought was off the table but brady is saying and brady is a genius i have been a functions with brady where he's spoken he knows the tax code inside out so i

would like to believe as a republican as a conservative as a trump supporter that he knows exactly what he's doing here i hope will not only that the businesses are watching not just that people stock market fluctuate we've seen that since change. isn't this trump is some rubbing off on capitol hill just punch it through punch it through going along with his rhetoric there has to be something rubbing off here well i gave in to pressure maybe caving to pressure but then on the other hand let me let me play devil's advocate to your argument what's been done i mean he you know it's been nine months since he's been elected they didn't get health care done trump wanted it wanted it wanted it they didn't do it and now i hope again that the optics are not necessarily true and what we're hearing isn't necessarily true but nobody knows what's in this bill that they're they're putting together so although you could say they're feeling the trump pressure to get it done they're not getting it done so far so i don't know what do you what do you think we could face if we get

a vote by the end of the week or tomorrow well i think i think they're aiming for the you know well the vote in the senate the vote in the house tomorrow is on the senate budget right so then then they're looking for a vote by thanksgiving for the tax proposal right they've got a couple of weeks i think they're going to throw something together but you know now you have the wild cards in the senate even though you need fifty one votes right what are flake and corker who don't have to answer to anybody what are they going to do are they going to spite on the way out the door and ruin it for everybody these are such unanswered questions and it's so important and only time will tell are you do you think that we're seeing sort of an implosion of the party based on those comments and then we've got tax reform being pushed through if people see something as outrageous as twenty four hundred dollars deduction for retirement are we going to see some explosions before the holiday season i just think people want to get something done if it's full of bad things if it's full of a fourth bracket for millionaires that's conservatism that's not republican values

not tweeted that now and they're going to they're going to apparently do this paul ryan is saying we're going to do this so there's going to be a lot in there that you know what nuff to dislike for someone for everyone to go around so that. maybe that's a good bill that i don't know for the what i so much conservative t.v. and radio host. time now for a quick break but stick around with me because when we return the transportation safety administration will set new security guidelines for us down flights and my guests and i discuss the iron law of convergence and what it means for the rich and the poor in america as we go to break here are the numbers the puzzle.

a small montana company scored a three hundred million dollar contract with puerto rico to repair its devastated power grid and some lawmakers are not happy about it eighty percent of the island is still out of power one month after the hurricane hit the company called white fish has been up and running for two years and has only two full time employees the deal was signed with puerto rico's quasi public power utility by members of congress have now called for an investigation as the small company is based in interior secretary ryan zinke home town of whitefish montana and it reportedly did not participate in a competitive bid process the governor of puerto rico ricardo result responded. he says of those contractors who met the requirements and aggressive schedules to bring brigades one was asking for a substantial amount of money which proper had no liquidity for and another did not

require it that other as white fish. white fish says washington has it all backwards he has nothing to do with the contract whitefish says it's hired hundreds as it ramps up operations in puerto rico. a new study indicates an increase of americans pushing back their retirement some choose to stay in a career longer others are impacted by the government extending the retirement age for social security benefits artie's natasha slate sweet has more on how retirees are at risk of enjoying even less of their golden years. researchers are linking to habits among retired aged people one they're staying in their careers longer and two their health is declining in earlier age while data released last week reveals the us number of deaths per year increased one point two percent from two thousand

and fourteen to twenty fifteen well this scenario could mean a shorter less active retirement these findings from the society of actuaries uncover how where this jump and death is the last major increase was in two thousand and five and before that in one thousand nine hundred eighty roughly one in three americans aged sixty five to sixty nine is still working nearly one in five works into their early seventy's all the studies suggest a good amount of people remain in their careers longer from the enjoyment of what they do however others wait to retire as they age in which they can claim their will security benefits is pushed back while those who were tire in two thousand and two can do so at the age of sixty five however twenty twenty seven it will be sixty seven if you want to receive those benefits enfold now some researchers question what the quality of life will be like for upcoming retirees as studies indicate their health is declining at much faster rate according to the journal health

affairs americans in their late fifty's are showing serious health problems this is a huge jump from what people in their same age bracket saw ten to fifteen years ago data revealed middle age americans are now having a harder time doing everyday things like getting out of bed or even walking across the room and this also goes for cognitive skills eleven percent of fifty eight to sixty year olds have showed some type of cognitive decline with the retirement age of sixty six researchers point to alcohol abuse and obesity as reasons for the decline in health and well we may not be able to change the fact that we're terribly aged continues to be pushed back something we can take control of is ours . how early on in los angeles and sweets are a teen. it's cheaper to live in all town than a big city and it's easier to make big money in

a big city than in a small town we all know this however in the united states for much of the twentieth century a good part of the two converge all the time successful industrial hubs and small pockets of the united states are just one example of how a poor area catches up to a wrecked one at the convergence according to my guess we are now seeing a worrying divergence of that joining me now is dr mark thorne a senior fellow at the niece's institute thanks so much for coming in on this topic fascinating let's talk about this so-called iron law of convergence how has it worked in america the our law of convergence states that there's a tendency in free market economies for areas geographically to catch up to richer areas they never actually or very rarely catch up completely but they're always moving in that direction of being more equal over time about two

percent per year and so over a period of decades it really matters and it has really mattered in the united states throughout most of the twentieth century we experience this convergence where americans across the board became more economically equal over time and so we see the elimination of poverty more equality. over time as a result of this wall of convergence let's look at some numbers pretty fascinating stuff if you look at employment rates the u.s. unemployment rate has fallen steadily since two thousand and ten the latest numbers show it at about four point two percent in september that's a point seven percent drop in just one year but let's look at this now you see on this graph. a drop obviously in two thousand and ten after the crisis hit in a small town less than seventy nine percent of the people in the optimal labor

force people aged twenty five to fifty four are working that's the bottom line the blue line moving to a city of one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand and up you change up about two percent that's the green line and the yellow line you make the leap to that big city job of over half a million and your chances increase by just one to eighty two percent so in the late one nine hundred ninety s. this was over eighty four percent what's going on here. well we can a measure of economic equality through various means employment unemployment income wages wealth and so forth and as i said before most in the twentieth century we saw convergence that convergence ceased in the last quarter of the twentieth century and we've developed divergence in the economy and in recent years since two thousand and seven that divergence has been acute and so that people in poor areas and people in rural areas are actually getting

relatively poor and people in the richer more urban areas are actually getting relatively higher incomes and even more wealthy relative to those poorer areas and so there's something broken in the free market economy of the united states and that occurred in my opinion in one thousand nine hundred seventy one when the us went off the gold standard and we no longer had a real sound monetary system and that set the stage for a more radical monetary policy by the federal reserve ok let's talk about maybe reversing course two thousand twelve part of the republican party's platform was to set effect value for the dollar ron paul made this a big issue in his campaign sort of a live within your means mentality that a car versus credit card if you well wouldn't the sheer size of our economy in the

complexity make this a complete disaster to try to go to because some people say that would be a good idea to try. well i think it would be a good idea to try i think that returning to the gold standard is the optimal monetary policy in the short run to get back to a fixed monetary system would be very helpful inflation price inflation hurts the poor it hurts workers it undermines wages but cheap credit helps the wealthy the capitalists the bankers wall street and so the current system is very beneficial to those rich interests wall street except for except for a but it's very bad for the working class and the middle class of america and i think that's you know we've seen this explosion in economic inequality and that started exactly in one thousand nine hundred seventy one so i think the evidence is

clear nobody from the federal reserve wants to speak about that because it would reveal you know what they're doing and how they're undermining the economy if you want to speak about in the commy you can't just say what is g.d.p. or who's the wealthiest person you have to look at the standard of living in the price of living and that is you know targets the middle class right you go visit your parents or your small town and you see people living in a castle for three hundred thousand dollars you might fall over i wish you could move home what do you think about the hypothesis this is because of housing regulations in big cities living there is extortionate people saying that people just aren't willing to move to big cities anymore i don't know about you but i've lived a four city since college and i don't work with one person from that city do you think that has any thoughts arguments of any traction about the labor rates in these areas. well arguments about housing regulation and new technology they do play some role in all this certainly technology is made it such that people

who are trained technically are going to do better than people who don't have any training in in technology but i think the overriding issue is the federal reserve's monetary policy i think the timing of it i think the fact that since two thousand and seven you've seen this divergence emerging in the american economy at the same time the federal reserve embarked on a radical unprecedented monetary policy of near zero interest rates plus trillions of dollars of quantitative easing and so that was all very helpful for banks and for wall street it didn't do a thing for the average american living in the hinterland away from new york and san francisco and washington d.c. and i'm sure you and i have both seen the effects of that across the country thank you so much for bringing this information to us dr mark norton senior fellow with the muses institute thank you. but no games are worth millions of dollars

and lots of companies are looking to cash in on them however a one game developer in the u.k. is looking to take it to the next level the creator of two raider is helping to create a national agency for games which would function like the british film institute does instead of promoting the art of films and television it would instead help encourage and develop video games in the u.k. and may seem strange but it's really not video games are worth over a billion dollars to the u.k. economy and major companies like rockstar games has a branch there and king which created the super addictive candy crush sega mobile game is headquartered right in london. thanks for watching be sure to catch him on direct t.v. in the united states you can find us on the r t channel three two one. and if you miss us on direct t.v. on your to you tube dot com slash boom bust r.t. thanks for watching the next time.
