something we were kenned abou n concerned about and the fast rail as well. you will have to ask the chairman about that when he comes back, but there was some effort to go after money that had been previously appropriated like under stimulus that had not been obligated yet. and, you know, that was -- i had the problem in my own state, and if i called the secretary of transportation and said, you better obligate and work out this agreement as fast as you can, because they will probably take the money if you don't do that. so that happened in a number of areas and sends a perverse incentive to local jurisdictions to spend this money as quickly as they can even if it is less than optimum, because they need to get it out the door, than perhaps a more thoughtful way. so it sets a perverse incentive that they should have the money obligated as quickly as possible even if it serves as the less optimum in the outcome. with that i will yield back. >> thank you, thank you, mr. chairman. we have heard about shared sacrifice and when we think about it, i think of the sh

we complain a lot abou the advantages the chinese give themselves through their exchange rate, but we have a major self inflicted wound that we cause ourselves because we have income based axation. again, i don't believe these fundamental problems with our tax structure can be adequately addressed by changes to the income based system. rate reductions within the current system have been economically successful because the excess burden within that is so eat. further revenue reductions a not possible. america must move awa from its income based system toward a cash flow system. this should not be done as an add-on. we do not need extra complexity. we need simplification. adding another layer of complexity is inappropriate. goods that are imported from abroad, even those that find their way into products produced here would not have to pay american business receipts tax, so would not be available for such a deduction by an importing firm. governments and nonprofit entities could be given separate treatment so only the labor component of their expense structure would be covered by the ta

take bear stearns, for example, they had $11 billion in equity, abou$380 billion in liabilities and they were borring up to $70 billion in the overnight markets. that's like a small business that has 50,000 in equities, borrowing $1.6 million with about 300,000 due every day. in this environment have you to be careful for excesses, but this idea that reasonably priced capital is it necessarily the maker of the crisis i think is a flawed one. it can be channelled to productive uses. unfortunately where the money went was to create $13 trillion in mortgage securities, many of which were wholly defective. institutions didn't care to know, didn't examine, knew they were defective but still moved them in the marketplace. instead of building the economy, we built a house of cards built on financial engineering. as to the matter of consensus, i do want to say there were a number of areas where 9 of the 120 commissioners did find common ground. i would say, they noted we find agreements. fannie mae and freddie mac did not cause the crisis, but they contribute contributed extensively. they were s

what do we spend on health care in america today all together is this we spend abou about $2.5 trillion a year in health care. we americans do. but half of that's public, that is, medicare, medicaid, children's health insurance. about half of that's private, the commercial insurance industry. that's the american way. that was the division for health care reform was enacted. what's the division after health care reform was enacted? it's about the same. it's about 50/50. so this is no government takeover. this is no government takeover. it's still about the same. maybe a percentage point or so different, i don't know. but it's basically the same. there's no government takeover here. half of it is still private commercial insurance as it always has been. we also in america spend much more per person on health care than the next most expensive country. i have an exact number. i think it's 50%, 60% more per person on health care than the next most expensive country. and we're not 50% to 60% more healthy per person than the next most expensive country per pen. in fact, all the international h

now, i want to jt parenthetically say i'm not talking abou liquid markets. liquid markets are very different. baa corporate ten-year note, for example, is highly liquid and therefore has an effective maturity of five minutes. you you're looking at effective, short-term instruments which often happen depending where the maturity is, highly volatile interest rate risk and credit risk, but not liquidity risk. this is th reason i might say parenthetically that a noinancial corporation keeps capital at 50% of its assets or as a financial institution like commercial banks it's 10. and what i'm raising here is the fact that something very significantly dampening is occurring on the american economy, which is suppressing it. i'm just finishing up an article, which will be published by the council on foreign relations on this. i did an op-ed piece for "the financial times" a while back in which i tried to explain this. but i think this explains something very unusual. it's the reason why the -- best way of putting this -- it's either price earnings ratio or, more imp

monetarily alaska gets abou about $12.6 million in e.a.s.idies, the rest of the nation gets over $163 million in e.a.s. subsidies. in alaska we've got over 700 registered airports, 1,200 registered air strips and 10,000 registered aircraft. when you look at the 44 communities which receive the subsidies, which receive less than 10% of the lower 48, to suggest that they're getting something that is not equitable, again, i think it's important to put it into context. there's no roads to most of these communities. now, it was commented by my colleague from arizona that there was a 2009g.a.o. report on the essential air services program. and it was indicated that the g.a.o. thought that the essential air services program might have outlived its us usefulness. there's a section of that report that was left out and i think it's important to note that the writers of that report stated -- quote -- "the review focuses on communities within the continental united states that have received e.a.s. subsidie subsidies -- subsidized service. we focused our
