lead to the shutdown of much of the coal producing capacity in the united states, at least in the appalachiaregion. but you're right, states have to come up with their plans with the goal for these reductions to begin biting in 2022. >> the opposition says this is going to raise prices for utility consumers, energy consumers. the white house says it will lower prices. how do we figure this out? >> what this rule will do is accelerate changes that are already going on in the market. i mean, the coal powered power plant is going away already. because comb is actually fairly expensive, compared to, right now, natural gas which is almost free because of the abundance of gas in fracking. there are some places that are clearly, this is going to be more expensive, some places out west, some places in appalachia that depend heavily on coal fourth power plants. they are going to have to make some fairly wrenching transitions. >> all right, gardiner harris, thank you for being with us. >> happy to be with you hari. >> sreenivasan: major pharmaceutical companies are reportedly recruiting thousands of r

i think one of the boots is in a museum in appalachia. they were l.l. bean. i already had them. in july it was over 100 degrees. i would carry around a few brochures in my left hand and pass them out to people. and i wasn't paying attention. it was in newport, tennessee. saturday morning. it was still cold. it was probably february. and i walked right in front of the pickup truck. it knocked me up over the thing. if i hadn't had boots on i would have broken my ankle for sure. the lady got out and realized what i was and said, oh, my gosh, and it had to happen in newport. i took two or three days and then i went right back to that stop. i always put an x. because people always suspected i was taking rides. i would walk 10 or 12 miles, mark another x. spend the night. keep going. when i was governor, i would get stuffy the way

you have folks in the foothills of appalachia in southeastern ohio that you might see a sign that saysthe bible. they're working class, the conservative and the values, the northern part. a lot of republicans here, a huge democratic poll. he's not going to be a reagan democrat which you find in youngstown, ohio. shooting towards toledo to the west. >> how about carly fiorina, guys, carly fiorina, judged by social media, whether on facebook or twitter, she -- and in search on google, i mean, she took it away, it appears, in the early debate. david? >> oh, she was clearly the star of that first debate by the trends of what's going on, on social media and by the television coverage. she clearly showed her intellect, clearly just an articulate, intelligent, powerful woman who i really think is the big winner from the early debate, no question about that. >> mark, does she play in ohio? >> people will have to get to know her. i think part of the appeal and the spike in interest in her we saw as a result of the early debate is the fact that people don't know her, haven't seen her and it was

disconnected from the economy be it prison or be a factory closing down or just, you know, places up in appalachiawhere there just is no opportunity and you can sort of compare like through narrative compare what a potential policy might do for those those people, right? is a tax cut going to help someone who pulls in $8,000 a year from, like, odd jobs? probably not. .. i have the mega-sean. i am on the trail page of "the new york times" and you know at times i don't feel the power of the megaphone. for example and i agree with everything you said about the way you tell the story and the constancy and not painting one side all but one brush and getting those people to speak up all of that, great. already i can see that failed argument that we need more tax cuts being co-opted for the supply-side and co-opted for the status quo. for example they won't now say we need a cut in the top rate but we need a middle-class tax cut. i worried about the equality. we need a bill and that gets into how what won't work either of those are pretty magical co-opting of an argument that has failed if you look at it

edith -- i mean, ellen also, came from rome, georgia which i think might technically be called appalachialso. she was very interested in the appalachian mountain crafts. she remodels part of the white house, the president's room with quilt and hangings and fabrics. she had set up a scholarship fund there in memory of her brother with her -- the earnings that she got from her paintings. and edith -- i mean, ellen also, came from rome, georgia which i think might technically be called appalachia also. so, i kind of feel that she was the one who focused more on the appalachian nature or character more than edith did. susan swain: so, as we finish up here, i just want to really frame her life, she met woodrow wilson just shortly after ellen died. he proposed very soon. she became first lady very quickly without much preparation for the role. how soon after that, he become ill and then, how long she take care of him? kristie miller: well, she was president -- she was first lady susan swain: so, as we finish up here, i just want to really frame her life, she met woodrow wilson just shortly afte

that is a distinction where puerto rico is not at all like appalachia.roblem that is not ours. tom: jim mccaughan is with us from principal group as well. 101, a con -- it is econ but there is a complexity to it. jim: there is a complexity. greece, you do not have a fiscal union with euro. as a result, if the greeks run a big deficit, the kind of sucking in resources from the rest of the eurozone, it is not true when you are part of a more unified fiscal policy. brendan, remind me what we are supposed to see today. there is a default, right? brendan: we will find out failure to pay over the weekend equals default. know, it is the beginning to a long and contentious discussion over what happens. tom: what is interesting is the size of this. ballet is allan missing. why? jim: because the u.s. has a very large productive economy, unlike the eurozone, which is somewhat productive in part but does not talk about fiscal union. the status of puerto rico has always been questionable. there is a kind of lazy assumption in the market that puerto rico bonds are lik

i represent appalachia ohio, and i don't have to tell you folks how rural that is. i hear the horror stories, many of which you just heard. i could site similar cases that my colleague from west virginia did. mr. selman, i served 26 years in the air force, and i was stationed in columbus, mississippi, and you know how rural that area is. so i've seen this for a long time. mr. gomez ,does the gao track, and can you tell us in regard to all urban and rural systems, how many municipalities have their systems charge the true cost of providing water to their customers? in other words, how many of them are operating in the red? >> that's a really good question. and it's always one area that's debatable. whether people are paying the true price of what the water costs. i don't believe that we have done work on that, but if we have, i'd have to get back to you on that. >> would you take a look at that, please. i think the american people would be interested to know how these small rural communities are struggling. and many of them are operating in the red as it stands right

you can see where appalachia is, you can see where some of the native american reservations are, youan see where the deep south is. the darker the color, the higher the proportion of total income coming from social welfare programs. so this is 1969, and i'm going to show you -- i'm going to fast forward 40 years. just look at the contours and the colors. '69, 2009. '69, 2009. so part of what we're seeing here is a revolution in government. when i was a boy, back when i was a boy, the federal government devoted less than $1 in 3 to social welfare programs. it devoted over $2 in 3 to things like national defense and the post office and retiring the federal debt and things that you might see in the constitution and also things that more traditionally might be described as government. today the federal dollar goes 60 cents out of the dollar to social welfare rams. so -- programs. so we have had, literally, a revolution this in the financind attention and priorities of our federal government and of our governmental system. but if we look a little further, and we're not going to do an eye

the war on poverty, for example, marry it can the destitution in appalachia.talk about dreamers, they don't say this is explicitly for latinos, the racial component of that policy is implied. now back in 2011 that changed when the congressional black caucus went on a five-city tour hosting a series of town halls and job fairs aimed at addressing chronic african-american unemployment. members of the cbc found themselves walking a fine line between representing black constituents who overwhelmingly supported president obama and criticizing the president for what they saw as his failure to pursue a policy agenda to specifically address their concerns. and during a stop in detroit, california representative maxine waters got really real with the audience about her frustrations. >> we don't put pressure on the president because you love the president. love the president. just a minute. you're very proud -- you're very proud to have a black man. the first time in the united states of america. if we go after the president too hard, you're going after us. hey, we want

so we started organizing trips to appalachia, trips to washington, dc to see how the lobby system workedo corrupting of our government. so, we -- role in change still exists. i'm still on the board. as is kevin. and we continue to do things like these trips. we also helped to bring the fair trade label to the united states. we had seen in europe how there were labels on tea and coffee and chocolate around fair trade and we didn't have that in the u.s. so we helped create that system here. so that people could choose to buy things where the coffee producers were getting a fair wage, or a fair price for their product. and we continue to think as part of this idea of a peace economy, that, yes, you buy local when you can but when you really want to have your chocolate or your tea or coffee or bananas, it should be through a fair trade system where there is some monitoring system set up that a lot of -- allows to us know that the producers are being paid fairly, the environment is being treated and with sustainable way and that is part of the rope we created global exchange. >> host: are you
