conscience in rwanda because most of the economic growth comes from the absolutely. unbelievable plunder of the neighboring country. on behalf of the vesting company and western governments that is an absolute cover up we are talking about the genocide in ninety ninety four but in fact. one in nine hundred ninety four and there is ongoing genocide in which between six and ten million congolese people died and of course in uganda in unison out of plundering congo that's the essence of the economic growth. absolutely a known fact in europe in the united states it's an absolute cover up anthony cover up go ahead how would you respond is too much i don't think i don't think that's what's happening here as we know many people know that there were movie save hotel rwanda but today's wonder is different because i mean it's very vibrant and the growth rate is real since two thousand and ten and the economy it's even more than seven percent g.d.p. growth rate per year yes the country is going to. very tough transition but we have to recognize that development pass rwanda has

we have over the years seen the remarkable economic growth and economic development in asia. it's been our very great pleasure, in fact, to recognize that in terms of economic freedom, as it has evolved throughout asia in specific countries and indeed throughout the region. we always knew that our good friends in japan and that the u.s.japan mutual relationship, both the mutual defense treaty and our bilateral general relationship would be central. but we also thought that asia deserved fully a broader treatment in its own right, so we really invested in the future. as we look ahead in terms of our asian study center, we look also to other achievements in both the range of foreign and strategic issues as well as economic policy issues. in fact, today, they are interlinked and it is hard to distinguish one from the other. today, as we look ahead, there is no one i can think of that i would rather help from in both to celebrate these and look ahead in terms of developments in the asia hafe pacific region. the chair of the house foreign affairs committee, ed royce, is an old fri

main economic indicator of its export of d. and kofi isn't it and it's three times less sort of than the. official export of gold through on the m.b. old know that through on the does not produce school. and it's not only going to become series g d p. go ahead of any country is a building of its base so a lot of infrastructure construction so a lot of those those kind of basic stuff is gentle waiting in total economic development yes exports are important but the country has been in a really really messy dire situation before one thousand nine hundred four but since then the country has been moving towards a right direction the process has been finished once again it's all knowing it was a good idea for a country is willing to. do you want to be actually is willing to develop its own the night before it was. hit on the day. before ninety ninety four actually before the nine hundred ninety four to come through you had to it could all be programs because it got totally destabilized by i am move isn't that soon but i mean you can

and some other places where they want more representation because they have more economic have to bring to the table they're not given the seats that they're requesting and and so there's a tension there where they feel like they're not being respected and so that is in part one of the reasons why they want to come together so they can actually have more bargaining power with the west i don't necessarily think they're ready to challenge the west because they are not strong enough to take on the united states for instance who is you know far and away the largest superpower and. and so i think that they realize that these efforts to put together alternative institutions is just a way to see how they can cooperate with each other how to work with each other and you know they have it historically so this is a very new thing you know some of it we should mention earlier i mean this is not an ideological group like the socialist walked before and what is its anchor when i think that's a very interesting question i think it is really would be idea at least initially i think it was the idea of

major part of the world scene because they want an alternative they don't want to be just have the economic and military policies of the west shoved down their throat but again these countries don't have an anchor right now as the socialist bloc that when it had the soviet union which will allow it to have a completely independent and separate and many times conflict u.s. policy with the west i think that the development of a development bank and the possibility of integration in terms of currency does allow for the potential to rival the dollar but not anytime soon ok and how do you weigh in on this is this is an alternative to the west and western institutions. i think that they are trying to create more leverage for themselves because what really brings them together is the fact that they all are. upset that they haven't been treated as fairly amongst the western groups so at the i.m.f. and some other places where they want more representation because they have more economic have to bring to the table they're not given the seats that they're requesting and and so there's a tension there

uganda in unison out of plundering congo that's the essence of the economic growth. absolutely a known fact in europe in the united states it's an absolute cover up anthony cover up go ahead how would you respond is too much i don't think i don't think that's what's happening here as we know many people know that they were movie save hotel rwanda but today's wonder is different because i mean it's very vibrant and the gross rate is real since two thousand and ten and the economy it's even more than seven percent g.d.p. growth rate per year yes the country is going to. very tough transition but we have to recognize that development pass rwanda has been mapping out in terms of promoting economic freedom it's not an easy process it's not going to be done overnight but the country has been moving tours for greater economic freedom again it's not an easy process but the country has been demonstrating its willingness to achieve economic development they need it michel is there is economic development for everyone is everyone treated the same in the country. i mean that is

and we have also not performed a review of the economic -- how the economic benefits to the city and region have changed as a result of the changing expectations for the race. so, we've limited our review to the fund-raising effort itself. i should also say the number we're reporting here today reflects only pledges or cash that are documented at this point. so, of course, it doesn't yet -- it doesn't reflect cases or additional fund-raising i know the acoc and others are endeavoring to raise for the event where something hasn't yet entered into the form of a written pledge agreement or written contract, but it's maybe in a verbal state at this point. so, it doesn't mean we won't see more money. it's just this is what we can find evidence of as of today. >> thank you very much. if there's a member of the organizing committee who would like to talk about progress made so far and what we see. i know we've been at the podium discussing this several times with a lot of assurances that we would be doing better than we are right now. and what do we see now, the prognosis of being able to m

it's why we have more economic mobility today. it's why we are creating a permanent a group of people who are stuck in poverty. they don't want their children to be there. we have to figure out a way to transfer our education system so it is your respective from the urban core 1/5 wherever you are live and your children and family come from low-income it doesn't matter. we will have the same expectations for every person in the system and every child to ensure we are getting the kind of learning games that breaks the cycle of despair and poverty that exists today. this perhaps is the highest priority for the country. [applause] >> i am tired. i thought this for eight years and continue to fight it within the realm that you are supposed to play it's not fair because of broken harms and because children come from poverty. it's not fair to the teachers or it's not fair when in fact what's not fair is to have two-thirds of the children after spending more per student than any other country in the world ought to be a will to the colleg

it will crush economic growth and costs jobs. the ryan budget will result in 2 million fewer american jobs in 2014 alone. this is on top of the 750,000 jobs we will lose in the sequester. the bureau of labor statistics study says the health sector will be a leader in job growth throughout the rest of this decade. the health sector will create 4.3 million jobs by 2020. a 30% increase while the rest of the economy creates jobs at 13% rate. simply put, healthcare services and delivery is where jobs are. unfortunately, republicans in this congress will put job growth in jeopardy. the policy priorities estimates that the ryan budget will cut $2.5 trillion from health care by 2023. it does so by turning medicare into a voucher program. this forces health care providers to cut jobs and reduce services or their patients. with an aging population, we can be investing in critical infrastructure like the health care system and not cutting. we can have positive job growth and create jobs this year with basic investments. this bill repeals af

our colleagues and i reviewed economic development and discuss the economic outlook.ince the january reading has been consistent with the expectation the fourth quarter pause and recovery would prove temporary and moderate economic growth would resume. spending by households and businesses continue to expand and the housing sector has seen further gains. the jobs market has also shown signs of improvement. private payrolls growing quickly, hours have increased, the rate of filings for unemployment insurance has fallen in the unemployment rate has continued to tick down. however at 7.7%, the unemployment rate remains elevated. also remains concerned restrictive fiscal policies could slow economic growth and job creation in the coming months. we will continue to monitor the recent increase of the gasoline prices which appear to be doing mostly passing factors like refinery shutdowns for maintenance. apart from temporary separations, inflation is below the longer run objective of 2%. importantly expectations remain stable. overall, still high unemployment in combination

there was the ones for the economic studies. we actually did an even larger spectator count for the environmental impact report so we could be appropriately conservative from an environmental point of view so we had a super peak kind of event. we would know what kinds of mitigations we need to put in place to make sure the event came in place as we want it had to. this number is lower than both of those numbers. we think it's appropriate based on some sampling we did in local -- in locations along the waterfront as well as the event authority's analysis of the carrying capacity of its venues. but obviously like i said i recallier, we're going to want to truth test this during the event to really understand how many people came and what kind of -- frankly help feed into our incident command system to allow us to adapt to changing conditions. >> i think that's the conclusion of this piece. should we move on to the economic impact study? >> just before you go on, we do have 1.5 million, mr. martin, left over in reimbursement after

[applause] we need to move to an economic growth driven system. that means family-based immigration should be narrow back to where it was 40 or 50 years ago to reuniting spouses and their minor children. the change has allowed for adults to claim their brothers and sisters and their elder parents and they get to make the same claims once they get a green card and we create what is called a chain migration that is flogged or immigration system and made it harder for economic immigrants to come to our country. more visas should be increased based on needs and graduates of stem field should stay if they start a business. we only need to look north to find a better way. better way. at the same time united states shares economic immigrants has dropped from 18% to 13% between 1991 and 2011 its sword and canada from 18% to 67%. indeed even though canada has one tenth of our population they have more economic immigrants because they developed a strategy to make this part of our economic growth. the united states could do the exact same thing. h-1b visa sh

perhaps better off in economic fact than in economic theory.ise control is great in automobiles on the open highway, but when the traffic gets hot and heavy, there is, alas, no substitute for human judgment. hopefully, good judgment. monetary policy was an effective factor in holding down inflation in the booming '90s. the federal reserve was also successful in limiting the damage from various crises to hit the u.s. economy, including the financial crisis after the russian debt default of 1998 and the terrorist attack of september 11th. in both instances, the fed flooded the banking system with liquidity to make sure u.s. financial markets did not freeze up. it's hard to say how well monetary policy will work in the future. but for the past 20 years, monetary policy has called the tune. for "economics usa," i'm david schoumacher. annenberg media ♪ for information about this and other annenberg media programs call 1-800-learner and visit us at www.learner.org.

strategy to make this part of the economic growth. the united states could do the exact same thing. he says should be expanded and residency made for them easier. in 2007, there is a million visa holders trying to get 144,000 green cards given annually. what were doing is training people with high skills that could be the next generation of innovators that allow us to be competitive and successful. we are training them, giving them hope and then they leave. they go to the countries competing for the creation of high wage jobs here this is madness. we need to change the system so as part of our economic interest to allow tumors in people of great talent to stay in our country and make a here. we need a guestworker program to help sustain industries like tourism and agriculture. what better technology and more sophisticated enforcement, we need to expand dramatically tourist visas because of his huge impact. that maybe because i'm from florida, but why would you want visitors come and spend all the money they want in disneyland or disne

economic outlook. economic outlook. the data had been generally consistent with our expectation that the fourth quarter recovery would prove temporary and modern economic growth would resume. spending by households and businesses have continued to expand. sector has seen for gains. the jobs market has shown signs of improvement over the next six months. private payrolls are growing more quickly,hours of work have increased. the rate of findings and employment insurance has fallen. the unemployment rate has continued to dip down. at 7.7%, the rate remains elevated. thatmains a concern economic growth and job creation may be slow in coming months. theontinue to monitor recent increases in japanese prices. prices which seem to be due to factory shutdowns. apart from temporary variations, inflation is running some of the long run objectives of 2%. expectations remain stable. overall, still high in combination with relatively low inflation space underscores the need for policies that support progress for na

and economic growth is, in fact, accelerating.in, i think that gasoline prices are important, but how wealthy the consumer is, or what the balance sheet of the consumer is, is even more important. how else can you explain the resiliency and the sales of cars in the first quarter, despite the fact that gasoline prices went higher? >> i want to also get your forecast on two very important indicators of consumer confidence. there's back to school sales, and holiday sales. and i know that we're far off from both of those events. but what is your forecast? based on the trends you've seen right now for the consumer, how well are those holiday sales going to do at the end of the year? >> i have to believe that there are going to be a lot better than last year. why do i say that? because consumer confidence seems to be creeping higher. when you look at the monthly numbers, whether it's the conference boards, michigan or the daily rasmussen numbers, they're moving closer and closer, especially the daily ones, closer to five-year çhig. so

here i wish to explain the target for economic growth and overall the target for economic growth this is a general target letters followed closely by all. in setting this year's target for economic growth and developing the 7.5% we have taken to factors into account. on the one hand we need to continue to seize opportunities and promote the development. over the years the capacity of the manufacturing industry has increased considerably, and the infrastructure has improved significantly, which means they are better able to assist in development. the rate of savings has been high and the work force has remained large to allocate the production and maintain a proper level of economic growth in order to provide the necessary conditions and increasing people's well-being to create a stable environment for changing the dearth model and suggesting the economic structure. we are making sure that economic growth is the potential economic growth rate and the ability to find protection and bearing the capacity of four resources and the environment. ..

economic fortunes hard. 40% of all we export we export to the eurozone. there is a huge effort across this government to grow britain's trade with the fast- growing parts of the world. exports to brazil, india, and china are up almost two thirds. uk firms now export more goods to non-eu countries than to eu countries, the first time this has happened in over two decades. but we're still very exposed exposed to what happens on the continent. , domestict year demand was actually stronger than forecast, but it was the weakness of net trade that helped account for much of the weakness in gdp. clear, themakes unexpectedly poor performance of exports is more than sufficient and its own to explain the shortfall. gdp last year turned out to be a little higher than the forecast in december, but this year their output forecast is reduced to 0.6% growth. despite the recession in the eurozone, the central forecast today is we avoid a second quarter of negative growth here in the uk. while less than we would like, our growth this year and next year as forecast by the
