the weight they have given to her prior testimony, which i am willing to certify as incomplete, uninformed, and riddled with inaccuracies, which amounted to address on a point by point basis, if you would give me the time to do so. chairperson campos: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is ken johnson. i have been involved with cable television public access since its beginning. i have been involved with a lot of groups throughout the city, and the main reason -- what we were trying to accomplish with public access was to put up studios throughout the city where they have had in this. that is the connection where you can televise your programming from a head in. there are 11 throughout the city. that used to cost -- the cost of equipment prohibited that in the past. but now video cameras are down to three or 400 cameras -- three or $400. you can buy a good camera for less than $1,000. to open up these different facilities throughout the city, you would get more youngsters involved, more communities involved. right now, you have one facility. what i am saying is give them the funds

on one level americans are the most uninformed misinformed dumbest gullible people on the face of god's earth that's the bad news deep down they're also the most idealistic so i say and americans didn't mind me saying if they were properly informed about the causes and effects of things in the middle east. they could become engaged to make their democracy work it hasn't always been this way at the end of the second world war the us was leading the world both economically and morally but according to carol turner from the stop the war coalition it steadily it routed that goodwill because it's failing to give its ethical lead now attorneys it's increasingly forced back to using its military power to impose its will can o'keefe is committed to changing that sense since giving up his u.s. citizenship has made it his mission to oppose u.s. military action wherever he can he was on board one of the gaza bound aid ships raided by israeli commandos in may and following that he was branded a terrorist by israel can o'keefe now an irish citizen giving up his country wasn't an easy decision and he

now, they're not all stupid, just all uninformed.that the stimulus bill is working. it is not. some of them actually believe that the health care reform bill will actually work. it will not. some of them actually believe that if you raise taxes you generate more revenue. it will not, but the uninformed, they believe this malarkey. one of our responsibilities in this fight, in this journey, in this road in november, and this road to take back our government, one of our responsibilities is not only to be informed and to know the facts, but we must share the facts with those who will listen. we will not save everybody, but we can save the stable in order to save this country. stay united. do not let them divide you. they want to call you racist. they want to call the citizen movement racist. they want to call americans for prosperity racist. they want to call the tea party racist. and anybody who does not get in line like a thug, they want to call you and name. secondly, stay informed. know your facts, because to paraphrase, liberals ca

you cannot just dismiss concerns as coming from those who are uninformed. we have gotten to the point where our programs are slimming down. even though there are different committees doing this, so the state department made think the numbers are going up, but if they look at what the hit is, the numbers are coming down. we live in an era where we aren't doing this civilian ops, and i is time people took a holistic view of how to measure our engagement. if you consider it military operations and a civilian operations as apples and oranges, that is not the right way to look at it. i think the military has done a fabulous job of police tining, but that has to be done by civilians. want this situation where we have to keep tasks on the military side. the military has a couple of major deployments. we have about 178 other deployment. jusall go to iraq and afghanistan we have major relationships. even the embassy. smith is a major relationship we have there. -- even the embassy paris. we need a first rate embassy in paris. we have to balance these. it is not easy

the reason for that delay was not to keep the public uninformed. the reason for the delay was the medicare actuary's needed the time to incorporate the health care legislation that was passed at the end of march. they needed to incorporate that legislation in their estimates and that was a huge piece of legislation and it impacted their estimates of lot. they needed that extra time. also today, what i'm going to present are the results under our intermediate assumptions. these are our "best guess" assumptions. i want to make one point before i go on, when you make off estimates, there is a lot of uncertainty. there is a lot of variability, as we all know, in just presenting one set of estimates. if our trustees report tries to address the uncertainty -- our trustees report tries to address the uncertainty of variability. it has a low cost and a high- cost scenario. those two scenarios are probably very unlikely, but they give legislators a range of possible uncertainty. also, the low-cost has all the key assumptions on a very optimistic viewpoint,
