jennifer, what is the federation. >> the federation has a very simple role that is sort of much more complicated in execution. our goal is to create a vibrant and healthy jewish community wherever jews are in the world. so here in the bay area as well as in eastern europe, latin america, and then, of course, israel, as well. >> so how does a vibrant community get formed? i know that's a general question, but in the context of what a faith community has and to the rest of the community, what formulates a vibrant community. >> really, there is three principles derived directly from the torrah and depending on one's background, can be interpreted more or less strictly or literally. our social security a very looser flexible interpretation because oaf the diversity of the bay area. we think they're swinging ingredients to a healthy vibrant jewish community. one is education and identity. without building the next generation of juice who know where they came from and have the opportunity to figure out where they want to go shths what our values are and our traditions are, then it's diffic

laws, particularly federal laws that have strong. they would be second guessing congress in that way and it's difficult to confirm judges who are actually strict constitutionalists so we kind of had to find sort of covert ways to get conservative judgments confirmed, and then you never really know exactly -- you can know if somebody is a conservative judge based on some of institutional affiliations, but you don't know what kind they will be. i think it would be very difficult to roll back a big government, primarily or even substantially through the judiciary, and i think the obamacare case proved that. there were enough republican justices on that court to have a different outcome, but, clearly, that just didn't happen. >> james, you mentionedded four good senators who see the value of the limited government. >> uh-huh. >> but there's a lot of republicans who don't seed the value of limited government, but those four senators had to win in republican primaries against canada who saw big government as good. >> that's correct. >> tal

although the federal records act, presidential records act do not apply to all federal employees, nor should they, nor is it our intention to have it. communication of official activity is, in fact, a property of the agency in which people work. the computers that you do business on, if you're a federal employee, or even a contractor acting in a similar role is, in fact, a government assets. and the government has a right to know and the government has the responsibility to be able to respond to foia, of the public and shows, congress, but most importantly the inspector generals themselves. the fact is that igs investigations are inherently less successful if they are denied access to the very material that show the history and the activity of individuals. years ago, someone might pull a carbon copy instantly destroy. at that time it was an easy and willful act. at today, simply doing it on private e-mail and then routinely deleting. most people don't feel they're doing anything wrong, but they are. this trend very clearly began, according to our investigation, in the later part of th

we have a federation in the east bay and south bay and jewish community federations exist in forms in almost every urban center across the country and north america. how do we compare to the other federations around the country and the continent? >> we share a lot of common characteristics in terms of some of the work that we do. but there is some distinctive work than others. west broadest geographic reach. we go from samoa to the south peninsula. where we're located in the heart of the valley and technology and the bioindustries, we put, i think more emphasis on invasion and on creativity and entrepreneurship. we're all looking at new ways of doing things. we created the impacts grant initiative or what we call igi. and this is really a combination of several things. one, we gather a group of people. i was at the kickoff of one of our igis about a week ago in san francisco with young people learning to be philanthropists and we bring them together and we exposes them to what it means to be a philanthropist and we help them through the process of how do you allocate and raise money a

federal revenues would increase over time but more gradually than federal spending. revenues have averaged 17.5% of gdp. they are now a little bit lower. they rise to 18.5% by 2023. nearly 20% by 2038. the gap would widen steadily after 2015. by 2038, the deficit would be 6.5% of gdp. that would be more than any year except 1945 and 1846. federal debt would be growing, a path that could not be followed indefinitely. in our report, we separately project how the economic consequences of the policies would affect the long-term budget outlook. the growth in debt would reduce the nation's output and raise interest rates relative to what would happen if the debt were more stable. that would lead to wider budget deficits. with those effects included, it debt under the extended baseline would rise to 108% of gdp in 2038. debt that is so large relative to our annual output would reduce output and income compared to what they would be if the debt were close to what they would be. it would require higher interest payments and increase the risk of a fiscal crisis. we also show t

as long as they are not the proper subject of federal prosecution under the eight-2013 memo federal interests, dispensary can do business as long as it is in clear unambiguous compliance with state law, correct? >> i think the proper way to phrase it, senator whitehouse, as long as they're not violating any of the eight federal priorities in the course of what they're doing. that the federal government is not going to prosecute. and a state law is up to state law. and up to date enforcement. but there also is common in all fairness, there's a catch all at the end and it's not meant to swallow the entire memo but you can't interest rate everything that's going to come into the future. so there's an ability if it's an important enough matter that we hadn't anticipated to prosecute another kind of pcs and if it doesn't fall within the eight priorities. >> understood. and those who receive proceeds from a lawful and proper state law enterprise will also not be prosecuted unless the violate one of the eight? >> this is something we're trying to work through with the banking regulators. the memo ta

it created a federal reserve system.ugh its real operating powers residein 12 regionalanks, its official headquarters was in washington, d.c. merritt sherman, active with the fed since 1926, describes one of its early tools to regulate banking activity-- the discount rate. that was the first tool used whenhe fed was created, the discount rate being the rate that is charged to member banks when they need to come in toet additional reserves. and it is raised to restraitheir borrowing, lowered to encourage their borrowing. through world war i, through the roaring twenties, most and went abouttheir bu. the system was safe then one day, it all came tumbling down. october 24, 1929, the greatest stock market crash in history marked the beginning of years of economic devastation. banks failed by e thousands. the fed failed its major test. we asked economist lester chandler for an explanation professor chandler, the fed was set up to pvent bank failures and avoid depressions, all of whichappened in the 1930s. whatent wrong? withi

if the federal government were to add a new fee on to the existing non-federal funding source, the federalvernment might crowd out the ability of transportation partners to raise revenue from these sources in the future. question three, should we retain the user fee concept? we had some discussion about that on the previous panel. do we see the benefit of having the funding source tied to beneficiaries of the information transportation system or the case that funding from anywhere is what matters most? what would the lack of user fee basis mean in contract authority? contract authority's what makes this program unique, and it allows the states and local governments to plan projects with limited funds on a long-term basis. and finally, what's the public appetite for funding sources? given how controversial and difficult it is to raise almost any tax or fee, you may wish to consider the implications of choosing multiple sources of revenue and the level of option decision that -- opposition that may entail. others would necessitate new collection, administrative and enforcement systems. at th

. >> following the quarterly meeting at the federal open market committee, federal reserve chairman ben bernanke talks to reporters about the fed decision to continue its asset purchase program. mr. mackey's term as fed chairman ends in january andthis briefing is one hour. >> good afternoon. the federal open market committee (fomc) concluded a two-day meeting earlier today. as you already know from our statement, the committee decided today to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and to make no change in either its asset purchase program or its forward guidance regarding the federal funds rate target. i will discuss the rationales for our decision in a moment. economic growth has generally been proceeding at a moderate pace, with continued-albeit somewhat uneven-improvement in labor market conditions. of course, to say that the job market has improved does not imply that current conditions are satisfactory. notably, at 7.3 percent, the unemployment rate remains well above acceptable levels. long-term unemployment and underemployment remain high. and we h

and the only one oh not federally recognized. what benefits would federal recognition bring?benefit of federal recognition is the status that the federal government recognizes the sovereignty of the native hawaiians. the problem is if hawai'i is not part of the united states and occupied, then that federal recognition is nonexistence, if ieven if they do recognize natie hawaiians as a native tribe, it's no different than israel is going to pass a law recognizing palestinians as part of tel aviv j. >> through, but we talk about mainstream hawaiians and mainstream americans and the premise that the u.s. military has illegally occupied hawai'i since 1893. does there need to be more of a mainstream approach of changing hawai'i's autonomy. >> where we are today is tied to what happened. what happened to hawai'i, hawai'i was kidnapped, but treated like it was adopted. there is no adoption papers. we can't speak as if we're pseudoadopted. you're either adopted orchi or kidnapped. it resonates some hard questions. if i'm not american, what am i, and these are being engaged in the col

down federal energy costs.m happy to see that many of its provisions have been incorporated in the shaheen-portman bill. and if we pass it, we can pull off that triple play after all. one of the provisions that takes what works and seeks to ensure that we do more of it. here's one example. not too long ago the veterans affairs department mandated that employees turn off their computers at the end of each work day. this is not the whole federal government. this is one department of the federal government, the v.a.. the agency also began acquiring more energy efficient computers and software. combined the department plans to save about $32 million over the next five years. $32 million, not too shabby. the bill before us today calls on all agencies to adopt these kinds of energy and cost-saving techniques. another provision included in the shaheen-portman legislation adopted from our earlier legislation ensures that we build federal buildings with some of the most energy-efficient technology that's available. thes

of the federal reserve act. so the -- and this was churchill said about britain, the situation is hopeless but not serious. [laughter] >> next question over here. >> thank you. warren coates. mr. lehrman, you have done an excellent job, as have many others, of arguing that the if by yacht currency standard needs to be replaced with a hard anchor. could you elaborate what appears to be your preference for gold or any other single commodity which is bound to be less stable in value than, say, a basket? >> on the basket of commodities or basket of currencies or any kind of store-based monetary standard, i think it's sufficient for me to say that it would be as unstable as the fluctuating currencies themselves or the fluctuating commodities themselves. and there would be no reason to believe that the monetary standard would be stable based upon a fluctuateing basket of articles of wealth drawn from the market, the price of which must fluctuate based upon supply and demand, cost of production and those variations whi

federal spending. revenues would average 17.5% of gdp during the past four years. they are now lower but will rise to 18.5% by 2023 and nearly 20% by 2038 under our extended baseline. the gap between federal spending and revenues would widen steadily after 2015. by 2038 under our extended baseline the deficit would be 6.5% gdp and federal debt held by the public would be 100% of gdp before we account for the economic effects of the increasing debt. that would be more than any year except 1945 and 1946. with such large deficits that would be growing faster than gdp a path that could not be sustained indefinitely. in our report we protect how the economic consequences of the policies that underlie the extended baseline would affect the long-term budget outlook. the growth in debt would reduce the nation's output and raise interest rates relative to what they would otherwise be in the long run which in turn would lead to wider budget deficits. with those included debt under the extended baseline would ris

we're talking about the economy and the federal reserve. with us, the professor of international finance in business at george washington university. chief economist of moody's market group. and director of finance regulation studies at the cato institute. what is holding the economy back? >> well, lots of things. i think confidence is one of them. markets are still nervous. people are nervous. we're spending but very casually because we're afraid of what is happening down the road. we are recovering, and it is a very slow recovery. we talked about quantitative eyeasing. when interest rates are close to zero, it is the only way to stimulate economy since we've got a complete government freeze in congress. nothing is moving on that side. so ben bernanke is the only game in town right now in terms of moving the economy forward. >> i spoke to a number of business owners who say they simply can't get any bank loans. how do you respond? >> well, one of the reasons why is this the case is because washington has not been clear you as to the form o

federal officials, so far, haven't challenged gray's decision. but the merry go round of politics on capitol hill over the shutdown is a different story for the huge tourist industry here. matty was out on her daily walk around the national mall. a retired federal worker after 41 years with the agricultural department, she feels sorry for family tourists that long ago planned visits to the smithsonian who will shut down. along with the monuments and capital closed to visitors. >> sad especially for the younger people who came to see history here in washington. >> reporter: this time of year, 400,000 visitors a week go through the smithsonian and the national zoo. >> i heard about that. we are from north carolina, so it will be a sad thing if the zoo shuts down, but hopefully they will work it out. >> reporter: about 10% of the smithsonian's 6,000 workers will stay on the job. the others will join tens of thousands of federal worker who is may stay home striking a severe blow to this region's econo economy. >> this is bigger than the last time, 17

it was a good year for the federal budget.was the last year a federal budget was passed by congress and signed into law. both this wine and the budget are four years old. you'll hear folks say the u.s. doesn't have a budget. that's not true. congress has passed one extension after another. the current extension is set to expire on october 1st. without a budget the government could shut down, and unlike a good wine, the federal budget does not get better with age. it gets worse because it uses old priorities and doesn't deal with new problems. passing a budget is the one thing that congress actually has to do. a budget is the manifestation of the government's priorities. everything else they do is optional. a budget lays out where your tax dollars get spent. under normal circumstances the president submits a budget proposal to congress in february. based on that something called a budget resolution is drafted and deliberations between parties take place, amendments are made, committees, a final resolution is passed, wait for it

when we talk about bullying and harassment there is no federal definition of bullying. in fact, one of the things we're working on is getting a common definition so we know what that means. and tom and i have an enormous amount of jurisdiction and team support to help ensure that when it comes to race, when it comes to color and national origin and sex and disability that there is some real teeth behind that, but it also is about students that are bullied and harassed because they are short, because they might act differently or unique. that's where we have to provide the kinds of tools and supports and training to superintendents, like -- i see another one over there, tony smith from oakland, the sort of heroes that are deeply trying to transform their communities and recognize that this is also a community issue, that it is not just a school issue. >> tom, why don't we have a federal definition? >> well, we're working on it. i mean, i think there's a, when we had the white house conference there was a conversation about what is the federal role and there continues to

what was the federal reserve doing?ed was supposed to engage in a countercyclical policy to counteract trends in the economy. but instead, it, at the beginning began to play a very neutral role. it just let the banking system slide very slowly into chaos. once again panic took hold. in 1930, 1,000 banks failed. in 1931, more than 2,000. in 1932, the american people looked to new leadership to lift the country out of its economic crisis. i propose to show that this leadership misunderstood the forces that were involved in the economic life of the country. it encouraged speculation and overproduction through its false economic policy. incumbent president herbert hoover was routed at the polls by franklin delano roosevelt. this great nation will endure as it has endured. first of all let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. in his inaugural address roosevelt pledged to establish strong banking safeguards. there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credit and investments. t

at midnight, major parts of the federal government will shut down and hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be furloughed unless congress passes a bill in these few hours to keep the government funded. but house republicans say they will not do that unless they get a one-year delay in one of the key provisions of the affordable care act-- also known as obamacare. 44 times before republicans have tried to delay or defund the health care law without success. we have a team of correspondents on the story beginning with nancy cordes at the capitol tonight. nancy? >> reporter: scott, the capitol is locked in what seems to be a never-ending game of chicken. the house will vote tonight on the g.o.p.'s third attempt to use a government funding bill to weaken the president's health care law. and senate democrats say for the third time they'll block it. >> well, we're at the brink. >> reporter: with time running out, house speaker john boehner announced his party's newest salvo-- a bill to fund the government that also delays the individual mandate in the health care law which requires

let me turn now to the fomc's forward guidance regarding the federal funds rate. the committee again reaffirmed its expectation that the current exceptionally low range for the funds rate will be appropriate at least as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6-1/2 percent, so long as inflation and inflation expectations remain well-behaved (as described in statement). as i have noted frequently, the economic conditions we have set out as preceding any future rate increase are thresholds, not triggers. for example, a decline for example, a decline in the unemployment rate to 6-1/2 percent would not lead automatically to an increase in the federal funds rate target, but would instead indicate only that it had become appropriate for the committee to consider whether the broader economic outlook justified such an increase. the committee would be unlikely to increase rates if inflation were projected to remain below our 2 percent objective for some time, for example; and, in making its assessment, the committee would also take into account additional measures of l

federal disaster relief for sandy victims? they don't deserve it. federal government isn't in that kind of business, but hey, me over here, we need that. republican congressman bill flores of texas, ted cruz of texas, they both voted against federal aid for sandy victims. three months later when a fertilizer explosion levelled west texas, those same two asked for federal aid. james inhoff of oklahoma voted to block federal aid for victims of hurricane sandy, then when tornados ripped through moore, oklahoma, senator inhoff asked for that aid for residents in his own state. he said it was quote, totally different. it takes a particular galling sort of hypocrisy to talk that way and more importantly, to vote that way in congress when you are sent there to work for the good of the people. what you do in congress may seem it's theory or idea logical expression or just something people get to talk about on cable news and then clip up and turn into attack ads, but your actions have consequences when you're in congress and it's a lack of empathy. we think

goodbye federal aid to education title one. and many other important programs that are supporting public education in america. goodbye. we oppose mandatory kindergarten, end of quote. okay. right now, it is widely regarded that the united states has the worst early childhood education system of any major country on earth. people can't find affordable early childhood education, their proposal is to abolish mandatory kindergarten. we believe, and i said this earlier, the environmental protection agency should be abolished. no problem. you're a company, you want to put toxins into the rivers, into the lakes, into the air, go for it, because we've got no agency that is going to stop you. quote -- "we recommend repeal of the 16th amendment of the u.s. constitution with the goal of abolishing the i.r.s. and replacing it with a national sales tax collected by the states." in english, what that means is what they want to do is move to regressive taxes, ending all forms of regressive taxation. so they want working people, middle-class p

cuales serian las consecuencias de un una posible paralizacion del gobierno federal.... pizarro, nos explica... *+ cientos de miles de empleados federales podrian verse obligados a dejar de trabajar sin salarios, si es que el gobierno federal debe cerrar debido a que el congreso no se pone de acuerdo para el 1 de octubre sobre el presupuesto federal. isaac cohen, economista es 1 desastre porque en primer lugar el gobierno no puede pagar algunos pagos urgentes que no se pueden dejar de pagar como la seguridad social para los ancianos, los salarios de los soldados, ese tipo de cosas causan mucha incomodidad. si bien los cheques de seguro social seguirian saliendo, muchas agencias se quedarian solo con el personal indispensable y la mayoria no recibiria sueldo durante el tiempo en que cierre el gobierno. personal de emergencia o de control de trafico aereo y otros trabajadores esenciales seguirian trabajando. el conflicto existe desde que la semana pasada la camara de representantes aprobo 1 medida temporal para financiar el gobierno, siempre y cuando se desfinancie la impl

federal reserve policy is to do whatever we can to keep it on course.aken into account. >> which means the fed would stand ready to accommodate more perhaps increase quantitative easing. i asked him about that. he said it took 2011, it really slowed the economy. i went back to look at 2011, the growth was about 3%. the third quarter after the fight over the budget and the debt ceiling it was cut in half about 1.5%. there is some concern. gerri: he said that concerns us. peter reference this. this is the fed statement. we saw what happened, as the news broke we can cycle through some of these charts as we continue this, the market just skyrocket. an all-star panel to break down the big fed surprise on the tapering. managing director with pimco, wayne angell. we did the 10-year yield down slightly and the vix down. we have stuart friedman on the stock side. speaking about how the market really reacted and finally wayne angell, former federal reserve warboard governor, real insider. i will begin with you, did this surprise you they did not taper? they did

in the guy who owns the bar brought a federal lawsuit and the federal court of appeals actually said that there is nothing unreasonable by sending a s.w.a.t. team to enforce regulatory law, which is also sort of -- this is in orlando, florida a few years ago. the police suspected there was jury activity going on in a without enough evidence to the search warrant. so they call the the state occupational licensing board who sent an inspector along, and now this is a license inspection to make sure their barber's were properly licensed to care. i think they arrested 37 people, either 37 of 47. and all but three were arrested for barbering without a license. two people at some drugs on the men were charged with misdemeanor and one had enough to be charged with felony. this is true of almost any government. he tried sarah seek out new reasons for your existence. racine is with s.w.a.t. teams. now being deployed. one point in the 70's there were the absolute last resort, now we are increasingly seeing them as a first resort. in fact i just debated a police officer and fox is this morning h

way theis another federal government can help reduce gun violence in america. you have to hit the streets. democrats, republican, congress, and president obama lock hands and launch a stronger, more targeted cops program to put more cops on the beach, just like congress and president clinton did in the 1990's. money.s has the in fact, according to the governmental accountability office from 2009 2 111, nearly $14 billion was spent by the united government building, hiring, training, and equipping police departments. -- this $40 billion i $14 billion was not spent in new orleans or the littlefield or chicago. no, this money went to build police department for the people of afghanistan, iraq, pakistan, mexico, and colombia. we need to really delve -- we need to redirect those resources back to the homefront. we need congress to treat fighting murder and violent crime as a national priority. furthermore, we need to do something about criminals with the legal guns. so let me be clear -- i support the second amendment. the genius of our concert -- prosecution is it

the federal government has given $67 million in grants to the federally facilitated exchanges. and in those states, there is a limited pool of funds. it's not actually that much, but what they will do is, it will be your local soup kitchen, you know, any kind of community center. clinics, anything like that, those that have been given grants to actually employ people whose sole job is to help consumers sign up for coverage. you can go to them, they can help walk you through the process. what sort of information you need and help you determine the differences between the plans that you might be eligible for. >> host: if you need help signing up, there will also be held at ces, rite aid, other retailers, health insurance companies, hhs. are these places giving money to help sign people up? >> guest: air community health clinics that will help you get a navigator groups and those giving money to sign up as well. you know, all of the companies, insurers, hospitals, pharmacies, it is in their financial interest to make sure that as many people sign up for this is possible. so they a

federal government.ey are in gray. texas.florida, a lot of the south. much more limited money. in florida, they have like $16 million, which may sound like a lot. but delaware has like $6 million. about $7 million for navigators. who are the navigators? they sound like a mysterious group. these are groups that will be universities, colleges, religious groups, social service agencies, planned parenthood. a lot of these groups have been helping people with medicare for years and years. a lot of these groups are familiar with helping people understand some of the new health insurance options that are available. .hey had to apply for the money many states have had to go through background checks to make sure we are not sending felons out to help people with their coverage. they will be a good place to call. e.gov will have a link to punch in your zip code to find out where to go for help. and then there are the insurance agents. thousands and thousands of insurance agents are being trained on the affordable

show up arresting somebody for violating a federal gun law, are you going to actually place a federalnt under arrest? local law enforcement are, in my opinion, probably not going to rush to do that. >> missouri's attorney general has concerns about house bill 436, calling it flawed public policy, saying it could create an obvious safety risk if passed. >> jeffery kowalski died of injuries he suffered. >> the police chief said the danger is the bill might prevent violent criminals from being prosecuted at the federal level. >> federal sentences are greater than state sentences. what it will do is put a big sign on missouri and say ok, criminals, it's ok to come here and commit your crimes, because there are not going to be the consequences in other states that we arrest people for using guns in a federal crime.  defied federal rules allowing federal marijuana and states have considered bills against the affordable health care act. missouri's gun measure is different, since it attempts to block federal enforcement by setting criminal penalties. >> i absolutely believe it will stand up
