ericson. ericson: vermont is not business friendly because it's not business -- business cannot afford to pay the wages it would like to pay their employees. the students need to know why. the reason vermont is not business friendly is the federal government and the state government, the legislatures, are passing laws saying administrative officials may make rules and regulations. so the federal government, u.s. congress and state government, state legislature in montpelier are passing laws that are like blank homework papers, equivalent of letting the gender field and in. they are saying administrative officials who are not elected officials can make rules and regulations that businesses have to comply with. the administrative officials wind and died by lobbyists but that is a reporter because they're not elected officials or candidates. >> moderator: mr. peters. peters: the economy is not really good in the state of vermont because antibusiness, i believe. you've got to make business come to

ericson? >> i will put out a statewide referendum and give voters a choice. how much of your total annual income would be fair to pay as a tax for health care to pay for public health care clinics and public health care hospitals, which would be no cost when you use them because you have paid for them with your tax? just like a public school. you don't pay an extra insurance when you send your kid to school. you are to pay for it by tax. and anybody not satisfied with the public health care clinics and hospitals paid for by taxes would buy their own insurance. but i would make certain that all insurance companies can sell their products in vermont. no more monopolies. >> thanks. ms. peyton? >> i would like to deal with the root causes of ill health. we need to look at financial stress, that there isn't enough money for people to participate in the economy, the types of ill health that causes. we also really need to create as pristine an environment as possible. we ought to ban monsanto, and understand that cleane whyn-air, clean water, are we are so healthy.

ericson: prexy i'm ericson: threats made by rhonda gives 44 million a year to the university of vermont and that's an outrage. the university of vermont is a private for-profit college and they just raise the tuition every year because they get greedy or in a greedy or. the state of vermont shouldn't be given 1 penny to a private for-profit college. all the money should go to the state colleges. and for that $44 million a year we could have free online college courses. >> moderator: mr. shumlin? shumlin: this is one of the greatest challenges we are facing which is the affordability of college. one of the challenges is that with all the money we spend on education we haven't moved the needle one bits moving first generation students beyond high school and we know that in this work for you can't succeed if you don't move beyond high school. so, i've done two things come in three things that are important and i'm proud of and at the first is early college enrollment which allows any high school student in vermont now to get one year of free college in the state while they are in high scho

i see dan ericson in the back. >> thank you. the question is actually for the whole panel, not just the last three. my name is dan ericson. i work at the state department. i really appreciated this panel. it's very interesting. it was refreshingly tech know cattic if i was use that phrase. and i know that everyone clearly got instructions to stay on the more technical lane which i think is good. i wanted to bring it back to one of the core political questions which is on democracy and human rights in cuba. people can debate how far cuba is moving in that field or whether the united states should continue to try to advance democracy in human rights. some people think we should, some think we shouldn't. either way, it will remain a core u.s. foreign policy goal. i want to better understand how some of the different proposals that were laid out here fit into that question? is it the view of the panelists that would help the situation in cuba with regard to democracy and human rights? is it the view that may or may not help but, in

but really quickly, frederick ericson from brussels. seles from the afl-cio, majorie from the chamber of commerce, susan from george washington university. frederick, what do you consider the most important issues to a successful outcome for the ttip and what do you consider to the be the most difficult to solve. >> i think it's the same issue and sean brought the attention to it and that's the united states could become the 29th 29th member of the european union. that's a benefit that it is going to come out from this. if you want to show your increasing europeanness you should take longer holidays, which following the european model, and please, don't take away the illusion our environmental cause is more environmental thon yours. that's the kind of ambition we'll have for what we're going to do with ttip. let me just say a couple of words on that issue from the viewpoint of thinking through the economics and political economy of it all. i'm not sort of desperately happy with the obsession that lot of people have about estimating the

meanwhile, -- >> thank you. >> my name is chris ericson.grandfather was born on a hemp farm in shelbyville kentucky. his name was george robert erikson and hemp and marijuana were legal than. please go visit the united states marijuana party ucmj party.com or national party and we believe that marijuana and hemp should be legalized as a federal law. thank you. >> and i believe that old drugs -- all drugs, legal, illegal, prescription and nonprescription should be the business of the population at large, and that industry also needs to go on and be controlled by the population. we need to be able to say what we decide what the prices will be. in case of illegal drugs, the price has to be no higher than cost. that is, you can't add taxes in because as soon as you at anything in it builds a place for salespeople to come in. >> thank you. your last 30-second pitch. >> i believe in vermont. i am a vermonter. thousands of people have asked me to run but it's more than just that. it's because i know that i can help them. i was talking with a world

ericson. >> i represent the united states marijuana party. the biggest issue in the united states of america as we are suffering from a lack of democracy and the whole election system is un-american and to give you an example because i asked party -- barber at the woodstock school and allowing her eighth-graders to watch this program and eighth-graders are concerned about things like rolling. senator leahy has been a bully. he has been a bully in the political playground away children are bullies in the schoolyard playground. iran as the democratic candidate is united states and this past summer and senator leahy refused to have even one debate or one form with me. he is a holy come he is a political playground bully. he is totalitarian, and democratic and un-american and he should be ashamed of himself. >> it's kind of hard to respond as a person who wrote i don't think there's any group of women in this country that is called a sexist. when you referred to senator sanders, i admire senator sanders. i've served with him and he and his wife a

ericson? >> we have a secret ballot and it should stay that way.pume what do you think about the tone of the presidential debate speak with i'm disgusted, shot, horrified. it turns my stomach. i'm just totally complete shock. the main thing is people over and over again have been voting for the candidates who have the biggest campaign funds, the most money and that's in president treki got to go back to reading the holy bible that says you should worship man. you shouldn't worship money. because when you're worshiping money you in the up with the worst candidates, not the best candidates. >> peter, who are you going to vote for for president? >> gloria. and it's really interesting how the so-called alternative candidates within the capitalist system think that they should be allowed into the debate, but they have made the effort to get the socialists into the debate. and if you're looking for high quality candidates, that's where you will find them. there are three of them. the socialist party candidate is a guy named -- and the workers world candi

on that at the march meeting >> are there concerns this would go a foreign head quartered company ericson? >> these are some of the things that have been looked out by not just the fcc, but you probably know there are a number of eyes on this particular item. you know rest assured all of the protocols and input we would have to consider those things have been done and we will have the capacity ability to make a decision based on all of that that has been cleared. that part has been done and we will be able to make a clean decision in a couple weeks. >> and one last question. we have a minute left >> part of the side effect of the reclassification of broadband was the federal trade commission lost its authority and part of the order includes new privacy regulations. do you think the fcc is able to fill in for the federal trade commission on privacy? are you worried about the ftc loosing authority here? >> i am not worried. we are not talking about online applications whether it comes to what the -- when -- fcc did with reclassification. i am not in a position to say how the ftc should do t

senator ericson: i hope that mr. cartwright will be as aggressive on tax fraud as with other things. i noticed in your testimony that a member of the medical team at fort benning had stolen the identification of a number of soldiers and tax fraud was perpetrated against them. did you coordinate with the department of defense, that they need to watch out? ms. -- ms. ciraolo: thank you for that question. i joined the department two months ago so i was not involved in those types of discussions. i don't have that information with me today, but i can certainly report back on what efforts were made by the department of defense. we certainly take seriously any allegations and efforts by offenders to commit these offenses. we are particularly focused on the victims of our society including our military members. mr. irix -- senator isakson: each of the state directors made a comment about information sharing. that would be a key to stopping this. one of the problems that existed , the senate and house has not done a cyber se

there's another libertarian in new hampshire, steve ericson.is big thing is term limits, gerrymandering, and election reform. i point these differences out because there will be differences of priorities. these are shifting alliances. they don't have to be written in stone. there will be different priorities, and there will be some disagreements over means to an end, although there are less disagreement on means to the end when you're opposing something and you want to abolish it, and so the aggregation of concentrated power is so'i(nñ hy that there's plenty of stuff to oppose, and abolish without boiling down into differences of what road do you take to a commonly agreed upon end. last point i want to make is -- this is very important -- crony capitalism, the binding phenomenon, the convergence of big business with big government, run by corporate democrats and corporate republicans. that is the convergence we're up against with the left-right alliance to dismantle the corporate state. that is inextricably linked to a double standard in enforc

hi name is ericson, thank you all for being here today. so, i heard quite a bit about so the recommendations for former rounds defining the conditions under which certain queries can be conducted. there's also been at least some reference made to internal training procedures, you mentioned post query review. i wonder if there's been any conversation about more post hock analysis of the way the data is being used. there many things you can do aside from querying it and for all the same reasons that collection has become ewe b-- themselves generating data about how they're interacting with it. have there been any recommendations made about how that kind of logging and other data can be used to actively monitor how the systems are being used, apart from some of the aggregate met tricrics that talk about reporting. they actually do investigations on how this data is used. thanks. >> you didn't. so i'll just say that there are a number of different -- within nsa activities that occur, also our inspector general goes through and looking at diffe
