the other has to do with redressability. with respect to injury in fact, our point is as you track the taxpayers' dollars, it doesn't actually fund any religious program, unlike the -- unlike flast and other cases in which this court has considered taxpayer standing for religion. their complaint is not that the government is spending money that the taxpayers have -- money that has been extracted and spent of the taxpayers. their complaint is that someone else's money is not being extracted and spent enough. and the relevant language in flast says that for taxpayer standing to occur, it's, quote, "his tax money" must be extracted and spent, and here that is not occurring. now, with respect to the other argument, not injury in fact but addressability and causation, our point is this: it's speculative as to whether or not that chain of events that you spelled out, justice sotomayor, would actually happen. as this court said in cuno, for example, when a tax credit is given sometimes that actually reduces the amount of money the

pointing at disadvantaged workers, because for us the thing that is most compelling is the ability to redress discrimination against workers of color, transgendered workers, when men, and this really get said that. it is not the narrow parochialism. it is about the fact that employers continue to discriminate. it was incredible to see the difference between two contractors during the same job. the entire act -- neighborhood had access to that network. this legislation is incredibly powerful, and i think a few months after rubicon came in, icon was rebuilding and they saw almost no local hire ring. they put them in a hotel rather than hire local workers who had just done the project across the street. it is not a lack of quality workers. it is a discrimination issue. i am so happy to support this legislation. we will be here testifying until this passes. >> rubin expressed to me that someone tried to approach him and said by hiring local brothers and latinos, they were able to lower the murder rate. also with the organization. i have a stack of pledges of those who are in support of it. i spok

in other appropriate values exist for owners to seek redress. without notification, the planning counter accidently bridge this. the basement still has extensive problems. we respectfully ask you to take jurisdiction so we can appeal and ask you to review this permit. thank you. president peterson: thank you. we can hear from the permit holders now. >> i am the permit holder, sam ball, at want to introduce my family. -- and i want to introduce my family. this is my wife, my son, my daughter. these are my parents, who are the co-owners of the house. and this is our attorney. >> good evening. the appellants have waited until $130,000 in hard and soft costs, 40% of the way through to completion before filing this appeal. at the could've been filed when they file their appeal of the revision for the. what appealed. that have provided no good reason as to why they did not do this at the same time. my clients did not have to do neighborhood notification for their first permit but they did anyway and handed mr. soto behind us, who was a carpenter, a fu

in the music and russian contemporary music what was in touch extremely extremely in touch you can redress looking every day. you do over what he did in new york times yes i'm sure you know yes. yes that's where he his visit was not allowed to play for until fifty three thousand nine hundred fifty free for the reason human of the world he was a very close look at this do you think that your family may have ever returned to live in russia once again if the communist regime had fallen in the thirty's forty's fifty's i don't. know you don't think so ok now mentioning mentioning this sort of social activity in the early for the thirty's so you get a high enough alongside with style of leo tolstoy they signed they signed a letter. protesting against the repression russians in russia was he so really socially engaged person in general who he was helping very much with russian people was. hugh he made the check of one we shall have to speak one million dollars of russians. yes yes he was helping many people and he and he was politically active socially active so he wasn't the kind of a person you

things have changed about second means of redress for homes. only one exit is required for each unit. this created that. >> we go back to their units, my friend rented out, but has never complained about it too many people. what kind of problem could my friend get in this kind of situation? >> [inaudible] >> there are endless problems you can get into renting an illegal unit. you are an attorney. you want to talk about that? you can leave it open. >> i will leave it open. >> their problems related to the city and planning enforcement, probably related to the tenant, who has rights to implied warranty of have the ability, and all the other things that tenants are deserving -- tenant desert. is the land blurred permitted to collect rent? -- the landlord permitted to collect rent? >> [inaudible] >> that is an excellent point. we will talk about the value. let me say, if it has existed for a long time, that does not make it ok. it means they got away with it for a long time. that does not mean it is ok because it has been there 30, 40, 50, 60, 70,

there were lines all next call with them to spend more were telling but this of course an attempt to redress the imbalance and they need the u.s. is over not massive trade deficit but that hasn't been on that jacki is it also led to accusations of double standards is all this is a point of the finger right back out of bed with saying it drives the dollar down on low interest rates and of course a that's a criticism chris should we don't last week with the announcement of a second round of quantitative easing efforts of the printing of money yes six hundred billion us until it is injected into the american economy to a shop or system from developing countries where we say from big economies like in germany so a lot of it's use it to a few and frankly i'm joined by you david sure from the stand foundation to help us make our way through many thanks for joining us and we can not set this international factory and their currency manipulation making the trip on the dollar has any real headway yet been made on the top the suburbs. well that's certainly the question on everyone's mind here in this

one has to do with injury and tax and the second has to do with redressibility. our point as you track the taxpayers dollars, it doesn't actually fund any religious program unlike other cases in which this court is considered taxpayer standing for religion. their complaint is not that the government is spending money that the taxpayers -- money that has been extracted and spent on the taxpayers. their complaint is that someone else's money is not being extracted and spent enough. and the relevant language in flast it's, quote, his tax money must be subtracted and spent and here that's not occurring. and with respect to with the other argument with redressibility and causation our point is this. it's speculative as to whether or not that chain of events that you spelled out justice sotomayor would actually happen as this court said when a tax credit is given sometimes that actually reduces the amount of money the government has to spend. it doesn't increase it and so that's different than the direct outlay that was at issue in flast. >> the constitution if we get

they're not going to reach a consensus on currency here but they are going to talk about is the need to redress global imbalances they're going have a lot of fun playing with words like that but after they've done all that after the wordplay is done and the handshakes are done there will be no deal here that really counts when it comes to currency. the currency issue what about the answer globalists we are still some protests not as serious as we saw in toronto how much is this u.s.s. cole policy something they dealt with because they were pretty anti u.s. it's not a secret that i don't like what the u.s. is doing but how much does this latest stimulus the q e two affect the calls they're making on the streets of seoul to tell you the truth i was just on the streets of seoul with these demonstrators there. and from a journalist point of view it was pretty disappointing we were expecting fireworks i wanted too many fireworks and there was a parade of several thousand people and you know there were several thousand policemen and a great buses on along the parade route they were supposedly accordi

run the risk of being ripped off even at these artificially inflated prices for which they have no redress because the dealing with a product that's illegal so why would they leave all that out of the stabbing is there some kind of political model that i don't think so i think these people wouldn't would and in fact did acknowledge that it's important to distinguish between the harm caused by prohibition and the harm caused by drug use itself but it's very difficult to disentangle us.

they're not going to reach a consensus on currency here but they are going to talk about is the need to redress global imbalances they're going to have a lot of fun playing with words like that but after they've done all that after the wordplay is. done and gone there will be no deal year that really counts right on her going to have to leave it there thank you very much for your input and your course again the high. priority at this g. twenty summit whether they find a consensus or not is going to be those currency wars the high stakes battle for the world's exchange rate the offenses and defenses over the box. reporting for us their full coverage of course to come throughout the rest of the day here on out so get really obvious one of russia's leading political journalists he told me that there are ways for china and russia to protect their trade from american dollar fluctuations. we've seen something very dangerous in the global economy and that is the financial sector dominating over industries basically what we see now is americans pumping these dollars to the financial sector once again i

you need to redress global imbalances they're going to have a lot of fun playing with words like that but after they've done all that after the wordplay is done and the handshakes are done there will be no deal year that really counts right on her going to have to leave it there thank you very much for your input i don't know of course again the high. priority at this g. twenty summit whether they find a consensus or not is going to be those currency wars the high stakes battle for the world's exchange rates the offenses and defenses over the buck parties and he said no reporting for us there and while most leaders meeting in korea do not agree with america's latest decision to print more money greg white the editor of the business insider website says no one is willing to stand up to washington. well fortunately for the united states there's always a buyer out there for us debt and everyone uses the dollar and there is no alternative to that right now there has been some discussion about returning to the gold standard but that's extremely unlikely so right now the u.s. is in a unique

kids often redress when they're stressed and go back to some developmental period like i thought youhat and may retreat. they may retreat all together when they're stressed, pull away from friends and grades may drop. >> you have to find ways to help them cope with this stress. >> this is hugely important. the way you help a child to cope is keep yourself. you are the model yourself. you cannot tell them things you are not doing because they will do what you do. finding your own coping mechanism and teaching them specific coping mechanism. what are other ways they can blow off stress, exercising, doing something active, talking to friends, talking to you, talking to a school psychologist, if need be. basically, you want to teach them other ways to cope with stress and not do negative things because as they grow up, there will be other things that stress them. >> you need a plan as a family, to deal with this and avoid it in the future. >> the big thing about the plan is you have to communicate with your child. you think you're protecting them by not telling them about money worries.

we petition the government peacefully for redress of grievances. peacefully. and they were peaceful. when these rallies were done, the press conferences were done, i sent people out staff people out with cameras to look so they could take pictures of the litter. could they find at least a cigarette butt out there, show me how disrespectful it might have been? these crowds were the most respectful crowds that the park service had ever seen. they don't -- clay they clean up behind them, when they were done they might have walked the grass down a little bit but there's litter to pick up. they love this country they love this beautiful capitol they respect the history of this nation and the constitution and the system with that we have. they were maybe in the successful in rolling back obama care in november of 2009, december of 2009, or march of 2010. but they understood what happened. they understood that our freedom and our liberty had been marginalized by an arrogant attitude that the people up in the speaker's office knew best and the american people didn't k

i am never said people should not have redress, but we must get some control of the system. >> let's tackle the 800 pound gorilla and legroom -- the rising national deficit. -- the 800 pound gorilla in the room. >> the last couple of years have created a lively debate about the size and role of government, especially regarding the deficits the government -- a government has increased. to you think the deficit is a problem? if you do, what three specific things will you do about it? >> mr. pearce. >> i do believe the deficit is a problem. it is causing an unstable value for our dollar. u.s. seem vegetables go up 50% are 60%, and that is because the dollar is worth less. look at the price of gold and silver -- they are both going up. those are caused because we are borrowing 43 cents of every dollar we are spending. i would get rid of the fraud in medicare and medicaid. we have been told in congress that it is $90 billion a year in medicare and $60 billion a year -- those numbers are amazing to me. what i voted to close those loopholes, if you watched closely, i was hammered by the rep

that is the simplest and for the basic that there is some redress to consumers are harmed, but then how do we develop a way to change the paradigms in the system so that works and much more productively? because as i said before there is so much at stake for the homeowner, for the investorome for the community and the overall economy. >> thank you very much, general. i appreciate your work an those of your colleagues around the country. barbara desoer -- the bye pronounced correctly? ishe president of the bank of america home loans. she oversees the business ecomy for almost one the five mortgage originations. and if america home loan tet $2 trillion in the serving portfolio that serves 13 million customers dewitt s also manages the bank's home-equity business and insurance service organization. thank you for joining us. >> thank you and a ranking member shall be and of the committee. thanks for the opportunity to testify. the economic downturn and the sustained high unemployment coupled with the housing market collapse has challenges for more profound than anyone anticipated. important

one is injurying fact, and the other is redressed ability. our point is as you track the taxpayer's dollars, it doesn't actually fund any religious program unlike the last and other cases in which this court considered taxpayer standing for religion. their complaint is not that the government is spending money that the taxpayers, money extracted and spent of the taxpayers. their complaint is that someone else's money is not being extrablghted and spent enough, and the relevant language says for taxpayer standing to occur, it's his tax money extract the and spent, and here, that's not occurring. with respect to the other arguments without fact, but with causization, our point is this. it's speculative whether or not that chain of events you spelled out would happen. as this court said, for example, when a tax credit is given sometimes it reduces the amount 6 money the government has to spend. it doesn't increase it, and so that's a difference in the district outlay at issue in -- >> then is it constitutional if we get a new system? here's what

banks accountable for fixing the problems, making sure individuals who have been harmed or given redress and that hah penalties where appropriate for their actions, getting a mortgage servicing industry to do a better job for households and -- household in financial difficulty, and acting in a way to hold firms accountable. there are five tier areas under review. first, foreclosure process, second, lost mitigation, third, put backs, fourth, securitization trust, and, lastly, disclosures. reviews are ongoing and expects to report back to the council at the january meeting with initial findings. in the interim, let me make a couple of key points. first, we're working to bring clarity and certainty as quickly as we can, but reviews will take time. second, the bulk of the examination work to date focused on the foreclosure process has found widespread and, in our judgment, inexcusable breakdowns in basic controls of the foreclosure process. these problems must be fixed. let me provide a brief overview of the extent of the reviews. earlier this fall, we formed a foreclosure task force at your

we have to redress these issues with confidence and rigor. >> i will give you a second serious answer. this is the devil they know. the business community got a lot of things it wanted out of this bill. they're not wanting this reopened. members of congress will not want it reopened. >> here is a more serious answer. these folks are aware of the fact that we are not legislating on behalf of the business community. we do not make legislation that makes sense, the american citizen at large, we are out of a job. >> this i will be happening at the regulatory level because that is where the lobbying community is coming at it. i do not think there is going to be any effort to repeal this legislation because i do not think there is appetite for that. members of congress do not understand this and do not want to understand it other than a campaign contribution. i would say that there is two things that the republicans will focus on. some sort of anti tarpon legislation, this will never happen again. there will be focused on fannie and freddie and how to reform them and put them out of busines

past problems and offered solutions for the future improvement, it did not satisfy those seeking redress of past wrongs and compensation for lost suffer. that was move to alleviate the allegations of racial discrimination within the usda. dan glickman stepped forward and announced the formation of the civil rights task force. that press conference in december of 1996, madam speaker, was essentially the confession by the department of agriculture that they had engaged in racial discrimination with farm programs, crop payments, disaster payments and loans. and this started then the litigation that was at least anticipated at the time and this litigation began in 1997. so in february of -- february 28 of 1997 the civil rights task force of the usda recommended 92 changes and those changes were not implemented and so in 1997, the same year, the litigation against the u.s. department of agriculture for discrimation against african-american farmers began in august of 1997, two cases. one was brought by timothy pigford. the other one was brewington vs. glickman. it dealt with the farmers from 1

i do not have a problem with it being explored, but to take the opportunity for redress away, they stilleed to be served. >> i do not think i have ever said people should not have the right, because there are people who have made mistakes, and they will do things. one problem in new york city was a physician taking aids medicine and selling them of the back door for steroids. i think we should be able to go against people who abuse the system. we must have controls on the system. >> let's tackle the rising deficit and what to do about it. you have a question here. >> the last couple years have created a lively debate about the size and role of governments, but especially regarding the deficit. first question is the you believe the deficit is a problem, and if you do, what specific things will you do about it? >> i believe the deficit is a problem. it is causing an unstable value for our dollar. you have seen bears and bulls have gone up 50% or 60%. that is because of the unstable dollar. gold and silver are both going up. that is because we are borrowing 43 cents of every dollar we spend

weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people for obtaining redress of every grievance. now, the two reasons that he did, if you studied the federalist papers, they said that they wanted the congress to do the spending because if they do it wrong, then they -- first of all, they know the needs of the people of their state or whatever the unit was at that time, but -- and if they do it wrong, they can fire them. look at what happened on november 2. that's exactly what happened. alexander hamilton, he said the legislature not only commands the purse but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen should be regulated. that's what we're supposed to be doing. the supreme court -- this is justice joseph story in his commentaries on the -- a senator: would the senator yield? mr. inhofe: let me ask if i can extend my time by about five minutes. is there objection? a senator: and i ask that the senator's statement not appear to be interrupted in the record. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. a senator: i ask

we require a demonstration that the company will have the wherewithal to redress the impact on the land at the end of their tenure. >> you spoke about, large-scale utility power generation, i wonder if you could talk a little bit about the other end of the spectrum, the trade-off between the large central plan and transmission lines versus the individual homeowner community, distributed power generation? >> well i see now and i'm sure it will be a subject of discussion here over the next couple of days, distributed power has enormous importance in the pantheon of renewable energy and we are all for it. and in fact, our personal department investments in renewable energy fall in those lines. we can go to a national park in alaska or a remote blm land without finding solar panels, wind turbines etc., many of which, many of these folks are off the grid so we have personal experience with how important and useful distributive power can be. we are we are all for it and please -- please do not interpret our position on the utility scale power is suggesting that is the only answer, far be it b

government, a class action lawsuit was initiated by individual indians against the united states seeking redress for the mismanagement. this bill will provide $1.5 billion to be distributed to individual indians and to pay administrative and attorneys' fees. an additional $1.9 billion will be used to fund a trust fund land consolidation fund so that highfree fracksated land may be into single tribal ownership again. this will streamline administration of trust lands. after 14 years of litigation and several attempts by the parties to settle, the administration has brought an end to a problem first created by congress over 120 years ago. second, discrimination claims by african-american farmers against the united states will finally be settled. the settlement loss claimed by african-american farmers who were denied loans based on racial discrimination. third, h.r. 4783 will resolve the water rights claims of seven tribes and pueblos in the states of arizona, new mexico and montana bringing to an end nearly a century of active litigation. when tribes were moved to reservation, the nation assumed a

is the chancellor worried about that for the ratio and really consider measures to redress? and >> yes, i of course in theething forecast for the savings ratio and it is something that we want to address. it has the same ratio returningi tots it average that it was befe the recession came. and i think all people and allan parties of the house and certainly government will want to find ways to encourage savins more effectively than there was the case in the past.problem. >> what is the forecast for the gap between the richest and poorest in britain by 2015? does the chancellor and the obr expect that to grow? >> i am not aware that the obr made that forecast. obviously, everything we're doing, whether it is increasing provision for some of the poorest two-year-olds terms of free and tertiary care for their people premium, are encouraged -- of health care and pupil premium -- >> with the make all liquidity available -- will they make all liquidity available, as they should do? >> the european central bank is independent. i will not speak for them. what i said about the europea

tens of thousands who poured into this city multiple times to peacefully petition the government for redress of grievances. they held hands and say keep your hands off my health care. it wasn't just one set of people with long arms holding hands ringing the capitol, they were six or eight deep all the way around the capitol and clusters in the corners by the thousands who just didn't bother to get in the line. they said, keep your hands off our health care. and speaker pelosi marched through the middle of all of that with her oversized gavel to come do what she believed needed to be done for the american people who couldn't, pay parently, think for themselves and said we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it osm because ma care that passed could not -- obama care that passed could not have passed here in the house with a strong democrat majority if it were not for legislative maneuvering in an unparalleled way, including a promise that there would be a reconciliation bill that would circumvent the filibuster in the senate that would be passed over there and come over here to amend t
