but hayek, according to ames and levine, was afraid of leaving the safety of the universal health care coverage he was enjoying in his native austria b by coming to america's rigged market place system. hayek feared the cost of america's health care. so koch, according to ames and levine, responded to hayek saying, do not worry about your social security safety net, the u.s. has one and you'll be fine. mark, yasha, we welcome you. before we get too far into this, mark, why should we care so much about something that happened so long ago? >> because the ideas that were funded and seeded then are now considered respectable ways of framing the debate. you know, you have guys like rick perry calling social security a ponzi scheme, you know, everybody on both parties, actually, is really talking about cutting these programs, medicare and social security. but these ideas, these politics, these rotten politics, they began as rotten ideas, funded and fronted back in the '70s. and that's what these letters show. is that, how did charles koch and frederick hayek think in private about these prog

"human action," i read that in my early 20s, and it just -- it's a dense book, but readable, and gives you just the whole a to z understanding of the austrian school of economics, of free market economics. he wrote other great books "socialism" a great rebuttal of socialist ideas. i love the book "give me a break," and it's a great introduction to free market ideas by john stosle.

levin: i rise in support of h.r. 2832. unfortunately, today we are acting to rectify only one wrong in the republican agenda of disregard for workers and economic recovery. the generalized system of preferences, g.s.p., that we extend today for 22 months, should never have been permitted to lapse at the beginning of the year. the andean trade preferences program should also not stand expired. and importantly, it is inexcusable that the trade adjustment assistance that we approved on a bipartisan basis in 2009 has stood expired since february. the only reason we are considering this legislation today is because house republicans have been unwilling to support a simple extension of the expanded program. they have been unwilling to support a program targeted at helping unemployed americans get back to work. this at a time when more americans, more americans, have remained jobless for a longer period than ever recorded in our nation's history. in f.y. 2010 alone, more than 227,000 workers took advantage of t.a.a., receiving as
