it can discuss this in more detail now with michael flanagan he's president of flanagan consulting l.l.c. and also a former u.s. congressman who is sure to know. plenty about this. ok got you then out michael the warrantless foreign spying program can actually maintain its operation until april twenty eighth tina understand past the deadline what's with the rush to extend them. i think that they're trying to cash in on some euphoria in congress right now to get it done and then there are a series of must bill must pass budget till bills that are coming up that that this would be easy to attach to personally i hope they don't i i've never been a fan of pfizer and i know many of my republican colleagues and certainly my democratic colleagues are absolutely opposed to it this it is that the concept was built in during the reagan administration and it was supposed to be used incredibly sparingly and with a great deal of oversight by the courts and for the last few years reporting during the obama administration we know that the not a single warrant was ever rejected by the court and certainl

to get her insight on that we're joined now by danielle de martino booth president of money strong l.l.c. and author of fed up and insiders take on why the federal reserve is bad for america danielle this decision was widely expected to happen but there's still work to fed presidents that voted against raising rates was the right decision made on wednesday. well i think the fed is still playing a very aggressive game of catch up if i had my druthers we would be a two percent right now and call it a day we're certainly not there and evans and cash cari are tory asli dovish cash couriers dissented every time the fed has raised interest rates. according to him they should still be down at point six two five percent somewhere in that area which is just ridiculous it's the same thing as being at the zero down and it's what has fomented so much financial instability but beyond that we don't really have to worry about them because they rotate off after yesterday when we know that jerome powell is probably going to continue on the same path of his predecessor but new york fed president bill dudl

danielle de martino booth president of money strong l.l.c. and author of fed up an insider's take on why the federal reserve is bad for america thanks so much for your time as always thank you appreciate it. brock's it movement has suffered a setback as rebels and then prime minister teresa mayes conservative party show solidarity with pro european opposition members even with a strike against her agenda and they returned to brussels to push forward as european migration which was one of the key reasons for bracks that makes the headlines again artie's alex the hell of it joins us in toronto with more alex first of all what happened in british parliament that has made teresa mayes a bracks it maneuvering more challenging a beautiful thing about the british parliament is that you don't have to stick with the party and that's exactly what happened this time around three zero nine to three zero five was the vote there were about number of of rebels from the conservative party that moved out of staying in line with what theresa may was saying and

the buildings are owned by alt a la gonea l.l.c. and the buildings were constructed in 1926 and 1935, by the works progress administration for the san francisco state teachers' college. the annex has a mural known as a dissertation on alchemy. the applicant completed rehabilitation of the interior and the exterior in 2016. the proposed rethat billation plan -- rehabilitation plan had completion of the mural. it has inspection of the roofs and the walls and exterior walls and windows and roof and the care of the palm tree. inspections and painting of the walls and roof joint system and windows occur every 10 years, and any needed repairs will be made in kind. and avoid altering or removing or obscuring the character defining features. in the case for 155 laguna street, unit 59 for illegal office use in a residential units, the tenant has vacated this unit and the case was abated and closed on december 1, 2017. regarding the recent enforcement case for richardson hall this is owned by mercy housing and located on a separate parcel, th

changing the corporate a.m.t., $40 billion, and the pass-through legislation that favors the wealthiest l.l.c.'s, $414 billion. add it all up. well over $3 trillion. there it is. $3 trillion. $3 trillion, the very richest americans, that's the middle-class tax cut. now, we have -- let's say we think about how much this is per person here in the united states of america. that's about $8,000 per person in america being taxed so that you can deliver $3 trillion to the very richest americans. that's a fair square deal. well, what if we were to spend $3 trillion on the middle class? what if we were to do that? what if we were to invest a approximately of it in infrastructure? it creates a lot of jobs today and creates the foundation for a lot of jobs tomorrow and the year after and the year after and the year after. what if we were to spend a trillion dollars on health care? >> you can see all of the debate at c-span.org. all of the debate the house will take up a revote of the tax reform bill. the senate removed those provisions. we showed you the rules committee earlier this morning. this will c

the 1629 market street special use district and approving a development agreement with stratta brady l.l.c. with various public benefits including open spaces in support of affordable housing and making appropriate findings. >> thank you. this project has been a long time in coming and we are delighted that it has got ton the board of supervisors. i want to thank the mayor and his staff, of course, the plumbers union local 38 and the co-sponsors of this legislation, supervisors kim and sheehy. i want to thank the folks from stratta for the briefing that they gave me together with city staff a few weeks ago. and thank mr. sullivan for all of his work on this project. that is going to bring affordable housing and community benefitss to this area of mid market. and with that, should we start with somebody from the planning department or ms. topier -- who wants to start? richard? >> good afternoon, supervisors. department staff. the item before you is for the project approvals for 1629 market street. on october 19, the planning commission considered a series of actions in support of the projec

members of congress who have, who are in the real estate business and many of them have real estate l.l.cs and they are going to benefit very substantially from this legislation. but of course, it's not just that. so to answer your question, i think what we have seen in the last couple of months this week is incredible greed on the part of multinational corporations that will get huge tax reductions and on the part of many wealthy people including members of the congress who have written legislation, which will benefit them personally. >> is there any way to stop this train at this point? >> very difficult. i mean, they got 52 votes. we have 48 votes. i don't think there is anybody in the democratic caucus who will be voting for this piece of legislation but i think at the end of the day, the republicans will pay a very, very heavy price for having passed this. not only is this enormously unpopular, but with a $1.4 trillion deficit, there is no question in my mind because this is what was in the budget they already passed. no question in my mind. they will come back and ask for cuts to soc

he has more than 500 l.l.c.'s as part of his organization that will benefit from this pas pass-through provision. so the president may be celebrating but most americans will rue this day. we will remember this day, all of us who are here, but we in this chamber will rue it as well. we will remember it because of the black mark on our democracy that resulted from a guilty plea from a former national security advisor, a guilty plea for lying to the f.b.i., a black mark on our democracy, a sad day for our nation. and a shattering moment for this administration, the trump presidency. but we will remember it also as a self-inflicted wound for our democracy when the actions of the united states senate drove deeper divisions within our society, created more insecuri insecurity, enlarged the anger and angst and anxiety that people feel about themselves, and when we added $1.5 trillion to the national debt that our children and our grandchildren will pay and when thereby we diminished our national securi security. the nat

the city obtained the land from oyster l.l.c. who elected to satisfy the requirement of inclusionary housing for the new mission theatre development and by dedicating 1296 shot well to the city and the city had an r.f.p. to develop the site into 100% affordable housing for seniors with 20% of the units set aside for homeless and formerly homeless seniors and it was chosen to develop the site and they have predevelopment work and construction is ready to begin in march 2018. once developed the property will be 85 feet tall with 94 units, and one unit reserved for a manager, on-site manager. and 19 homeless units at 30% a.m.i. and the rest is up to 50% a.m.i. and the ground lease will have annual payments of base rent and resil saidual rent, which is $10,175,000 and the city will collect $15,000 in base rent and to the incident that the residual receipts is available, they will collect an additional $1,205,000 and they will have a ground lease for 74 years with the option to extend for 24 more years and otherwise we are in full sup

this is located at 55 laguna, and it's an in-kind agreement, part of the development from alta laguna l.l.c. which is the developer and the estimated costs are $552,676, which also includes permanent maintenance costs of the space. and also i want acknowledge that this is a affordable housing project that mercy and open house are partnering on and this was approved back in 2011. so let's go to see if there's any public comment for item 4. none, okay, public comment is closed. supervisor yee. >> i make a motion to have a positive recommendation to the full board as the committee report for december 12th. >> supervisor cohen: all right, thank you very much, we'll take that without objection. item 5. >> clerk: item 5, approving a fifth amendment and agreement between the department of public health and the san francisco ag foundation to have h.i.v. services to extend the contract by two years and to increase the agreement by $5.9 million, for a total of $26.2 million. >> supervisor cohen: we have michelle ruggels from the department of public health to present. >> yeah, michelle ruggels for th

i'm talking about the subchapter s corporations and the l.l.c.'s and l.l.p.'s and the sole proprietorships. i'm talking about the family farms. i'm talking about the american who decided to take a risk to create some jobs, start a small business, went and took a second mortgage on their home, maybe employs four or five people. if she fails in her business, government is not going to be there to bail her out. she's going to lose her home. but she wants to take a risk to be her own boss, to create jobs in america. we're going to cut her taxes, too. the pass-through rate, the top marginal tax rate by my calculations after this bill is passed is going to be about 29.6%. right now, the top marginal tax rate for that businesswoman would be about 43%. and you say, well, the small businesses get 29%, 6% rate how come the big corporations get 21%? because the big corporations pay taxes twice. the same way they are going to pay 21% of our bill isn't the only part of it. they also when they declare dividends have to pay taxes again. so that's the reason for the dispari

bill imp mfntses a new -- implements a new deduction for pass-through businesses like partnerships, l.l.c.'s and s. corporations. this deduction would allow them to keep more of their money which would allow them to reinvest in their operations to increase wages and to higher new workers -- hire new workers. our bill also reforms current provisions in the tax code that frequently leave small businesses with little cash on hand. under our legislation, small businesses would be able to recover the capital they've invested in things like inventory and machinery much more quickly and in certain cases immediately. this in turn would free up capital that small businesses could use to expand and create jobs. our legislation also includes provisions that i helped develop that would simplify accounting rules for american -- or for small businesses, i should say, which would also help reduce their tax burden leaving more of their earnings to reinvest in their businesses and in their workers. mr. president, in addition to providing relief to small businesses, another thing our bill does to boost ame

there's also slightly different treatment for what we call pass-through businesses, your partnershipses, l.l.c.'s, sole proprietorships. we also significantly produce rates on small businesses. we believe this is important to growth. this needs to be a pro-growth bill. we want to grow our economy at a faster rate because a faster growing economy, an economy that's growing at rates that are more normal to historic averages means that we're creating better-paying jobs. that means we're lifting wages in this country. wages have been flat for so long, so long. last decade or so the american people have rarely had anything that you could characterize as a pay raise. and so that's why we needed to update our business tax rates, our business tax code so that we can get the economy producing and growing at a faster rate to generate those good-paying jobs and to provide higher wages to american families and american workers. we believe that this bill does that. and i think the changes that have been made in addition to lowering the rates by allowing for expensing of capital investments, allows business

changing the upper limit tax brackets, including the pass-throughs for affluent, hyattsville successful l.l.c.'s? how about that? what is this list and why haven't the american people seen all the details about it? this type of chicanery here, chicanery here is just inappropriate. take and give the list to the members of the senate, not to k street. this close partnership between the republican majority and k street, filling them in, doing those special favors, and not even filling in the body here so that we can have a conversation about each of these items. this absolutely is a horrific way to do business. this is the way that the powerful and the privileged want business to be done, and my republican colleagues are working with them hand in hand instead of working for and by the american people. thank you, mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from ohio. mr. portman: mr. president, thank you. this is a big day because we're about to provide tax relief to millions of people in ohio and around the country. middle-class tax credits, a lower rate for people in every bracket. we had

stewart l.l.c i haven't started working yet to see, but if this thing all goes through and this is donei have done my best to argue what i think is the best tax reform if this is what we get, i'm going to start looking, how can we all take advantage of it? if that's the law, then let's do it but i was -- i was i won't say amused, but i was struck that trump was apparently here in new york the other night with a bunch of his big wealthy real estate - >> schwartzman's house >> after all they have gotten in this tax code, they are still lobbying for more. i mean, i guess until, you know, the closing bell sounds, they are going to beat trying to get more and i just thought, oh, my you know, i can't believe they aren't just like licking their chops with what they already got. >> jim, a lot more to come on all sorts of different stories we'll hear from you on them. thank you. >> sure. >> jim stewart >>> want to get back to wilfred frost who has an update on jamie dimond's views of bitcoin. >> yes, indeed a quick reminder on the 12th of september, jamie dimond called bitcoin a fraud, just a mo

on loans and offers a first-ever 20% tax deduction to business organized as s-corps, partnerships, l.l.c.'s, and sole proprietorships. this will be a boom not only for the stock market, which we have seen since the day after the election, but we have seen a boom on main street as job creators and new small businesses are seeking to reinvest not only in their business, in their community but for the opportunity for the benefit of workers in the united states of america. the tax cuts and jobs act is a direct and immediate boost for middle-income americans who have been struggling, struggling for eight, now nine years to get a handle on not only their ability to work with a broken tax system but the ability to work with their own local businesses to make sure that their city succeeds also. it reduces the tax rates for low-income and middle-income americans. it increases the child tax credit to more families and more than doubles the standard deduction. with this piece of legislation today, legislation for middle-income families will allow them to be a part of an economic growth model for ye

bring real tax relief to working families and making sure the small businesses and s corporations and l.l.c. and sole proportionate tore ship. and here we are on the cusp that we advance. and i appreciate the opportunity. . the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from north carolina rise? without objection, the gentlelady is recognized for ne minute. ms. adams: protesters have taken to the halls of congress. i've never seen anything like this. the americans know the g.o.p. tax scam is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation to come before this body. this legislation adds trillions to the deficit, cuts medicaid and increases health care premiums. it's an unpopular bill pushed by an unpopular president and an unpopular congress. mr. president, the american people don't want your bill. they want health care, medicaid, medicare. they want chip and community health centers. trump-ryan-mcconnell, they're bankrupting the american priorities to keep tax cuts for the wealthy. their bill is welfare for wall street. in the past year republicans have attacked our health ca

big running a day-to-day operations after contributing $250,000, it was called ars international a, l.l.c., referred to as c.i.a. in in court documents. isn't that clever. imran boasted unusual clout among house democrats and was even pictured conversing with .ormer president bill clinton threatened to sue appearedealership , he on the congressional payroll and received $250,000 in taxpayer payments. you owe somebody for an ill list car dealership and you can't ay, just put them on the house employee system and they will be on the congressional payroll and you can pay off $250,000, that must have been a heck of a percentage though. they borrow $100,000 from this guy with hezbollah contacts and they have to pay him back $250,000? in their case, it was fortunate because they did it with house payroll through no evidence that mr. abbas ever lifted a i think ifer to do any work and for good reason, we wouldn't want him involved in all of the inner workings of our computer systems on the hill. who knows, maybe he did. maybe that was part of the payoff as well. the speaker pro tempore: the gent

changing the corporate a.m.t., $40 billion, and the pass-through legislation that favors the wealthiest l.l.c.'s, $414 billion. add it all up. well over $3 trillion. there it is. $3 trillion. $3 trillion, the very richest americans, that's the middle-class tax cut. now, we have -- let's say we think about how much this is per person here in the united states of america. that's about $8,000 per person in america being taxed so that you can deliver $3 trillion to the very richest americans. that's a fair square deal. well, what if we were to spend $3 trillion on the middle class? what if we were to do that? what if we were to invest a approximately of it in infrastructure? it creates a lot of jobs today and creates the foundation for a lot of jobs tomorrow and the year after and the year after and the year after. what if we were to spend a trillion dollars on health care? we could go a long ways in terms of greatly amplifying the success and quality of the work from our community health clinics, making sure that basically health care is a fundamental, affordable right to every american. you can
