an example of debt is currently being played out not just in greece, but in argentina.he president of argentina central bank was recently forced to resign because he would not transfer reserves held by the central bank to repay certain government debt. inflation in argentina is currently running 8% and i'm willing to bet it's going to go higher. now the second path is what i call stalemate between the fiscal and monetary authorities. and such a stalemate, the fiscal imbalance grows while the central bank maintains its focus on price stability. although the u.s. government is currently privileged to borrow at favorable rates the fiscal outlook would undermine this privilege adding risk premium and the price of its debt in terms of interest rates would increase. also as a government competes for the private borrowers for funds as the economy improves, the potential exist for the fiscal imbalance to drive up real cost of capital as a private sec -- sector. this high cost of borrowing weakens the economic growth prospects and undermines confidence in the copy's long run pot

what the two will discuss with the president of argentina? you concerned -- will the falkland islands figure in what you will discuss? >> i think with argentina, we will not be discussing just simply-lateral issues but some of the international issues. the argentine's have been fairly outspoken on issues like iran and international terrorism. these are questions we will discuss with them. we will not be discussing the falkland islands issue with them. this is a matter for argentina and for britain. it is not a matter for the united states. >> mr. secretary, yesterday or a couple of days ago -- she said she was disappointed in the way president obama was handling all of the issues in latin america, that everything was very disconnected, and especially the issue with honduras was disappointed. chavez saying also something along those lines. is it an okay environment to talk to the argentinian? can you do it in spanish also later? >> she is entitled to her opinion on this issue, but we simply disagree. we think not only have we had significant e

dozens of aftershocks have rattled the area, hitting as far away as argentina. right now, let's bring you up to date with the situation on the ground as we know it. there is no power, no water and no telephone services in chile's capital of santiago. the airport is out of commission for at least the next 24 hours. the earthquake trigled tsunami warning all across the pacific ocean. the governor of chile says a massive wave struck hours ago killing at least three people. we saw pictures a short time ago of those aerial shots. hawaii is bracing for a massive tsunami two hours from now. >> we have reporters all over the region, plus our partner network cnn chile is bringing us the latest video with reporters there. and reaction from the white house and kate bolduan we are expecting to hear from in a short time ago. the chilean government itself says they don't know exactly what they need. we heard from the president, interior minister, the president-elect and the ambassadors. all repeat the same message. chile has suffered a terrible disaster of an enormous scale,

their separate ways after the governor admitted to having a long-distance affair with a woman in argentina. sanford's turn to tell her side of the story. >> our own health and safety. >> reporter: she said she felt ugly after her husband's cheating and reveals there were questions about her husband's fidelity from the very beginning of their marriage. writing in her new book, "staying true," jenny sanford reveals her husband insisted the word faithful be removed from their wedding vows. she writes, he was worried in some odd nagging way that he might not be able to remain true to that vow. in retrospect, i suppose i might have seep this as a sign. still, the san foreed were married for 20 years and had four children. among the revelations in the book, jenny sanford said her husband once gave her a diamond necklace for her birthday and then returned it just days later. she says when she sat her four boys down to tell them their father was having an affair, her 12-year-old son bolton said, oh, my gosh, this is going to be worse than eliot spitzer. spitzer admitted to paying for sex with pros

before that i lived in argentina for seven years. >> geraldo: the northwestern portion of argentina theboring country to the east also felt this earthquake and in fact also had at least a few deaths as a result of it. so this was -- was this your first earthquake at least in chile, jason? >> yes, it is the first earthquake i have ever felt. i felt some tremors here about three weeks ago we felt some tremors. that didn't affect me too much but it certainly is a strange experience but this last night was very dramatic. i have friends that live in -- well, they were on the 14th floor in a high rise here and they said to me that they were really just shaken from one side of the room to the other and they really didn't think they were about to die. but they are safe as well. i agree with you about building codes. the last friend i spoke to said to me that chile has some of the best building codes in the world and i think they really did help this time around. >> geraldo: was it not also a fact that the government and officials including the president were on the air or on the internet almost

this has happened in the past in countries like argentina and brazil and third-world countries who did not make a big deal of it until they defaulted on their debt and had to pay sky-high interest rates. they went belly up. i am not saying that would happen to the new states. but when a prestigious ratings firm is saying it could and very likely will if you don't change, that is a big deal. megyn: would this mean to the folks watching? >> reporter: the biggest lesson here is that if you argue with scott brown being sworn into the senate today and those voters sent a message, the tea party has sent a message, a town hall has sent a message. this isn't a right or left issues, conservative or liberal issue. in the prior president's administration, promoting spending. about, you have got to stop it. you have got to stop it now. it is out of control. politicians ignored that. the american people are telling you we are scared. megyn: we are about to watch them probably not stop it. neil cavuto, thanks for being here. spent a little money in here. >> reporter: hello. a couple of family member

>> only 5 months and i lived in argentina for 7 years. >> i should note, parenthetically, that it's the neighboring country to the east, also felt this earthquake and in fact, also had at least a few deaths as a result of it. so this was -- was this your first earthquake in chile? >> yes, it's the first earthquake i ever felt. i felt tremors about three weeks ago, and that didn't affect me too much, but it was a strange experience, but this last night was very drama, and i had friends on the 14th floor in a high-rise here, and they said to me that they were shaken from one side of the room to the other, and they really did think that they were about to die. but they were safe as well. and i agree with you about building codes. that friend that i spoke to said that chile has some of the best building codes in the world. and i think that they really helped this time around. >> was it a fact that the government and the officials, including the president, were on the air or on the internet almost immediately reassuring the chilean people that all would be well. and they would help them find

so strong that in neighboring argentina, 1300 miles away, people felt it and two people died.rom the undersecretary of health saying that there has been major damage to the hospitals. however, they don't need outside assistance at this point. they're trying to tend to all patients at the hospital, tending to the patients on the streets, but they are managing. they have sent out a call to all doctors and nurses, wherever they are, to report to duty, asking people to go to the hospital, only in an absolute emergency, asking them to conserve power, to conserve electricity. and so that's what's going on, fred, right now. we expect to hear from president michelle bachelet within this hour at any moment. we'll bring you her statement as soon as it comes in. >> ralitsa, thank you very much. appreciate that. while they continue to pick up the pieces, try to assess the damage, try to reach those injured or in trouble there in chile, in hawaii they are simply waiting. they're waiting for the results of what that earthquake triggered. we're talking about tsunami. already there have been

argentina defaulted in 2001. sth greek threat of default any different from those? >> not really in terms of its order of magnitude, but the worry, as you were saying, is the domino effect, somewhat somehow or other, greece and its problems could then morph into a bigger problem, say, with spain in particular, and here, you have to put it in perspective. greece is only about 3% of the euro zone. spain is almost 12%. if spain runs into trouble, the same kind of trouble as greece does, then it cook a very big deal. it's not so much greece per se, but the worries that this is just the beginning of a bigger deal. >> tom: you mentioned spain and greece on the global scale. in it's the 34th largest economy. spain is in the top 15. clearly, a much larger domino should spain fall. so does it face the same type of inevitable pressures greece is coming under today? >> i think the fiscal problems in spain are not quite as bad as what's going on in greece. a lot depends on what spain does. unfortunately, spain is in a very dire economic situation. it's in its second year of rec

there was a slogan in argentina which really stuck with me. it came from the industrial belts in the areas where they're used be a lot of manufacturing and manufacturing closed so they said the new factory is the neighborhood and that's the way they treated the neighborhood, as if they were workplaces and did that kind of door to door organizing that is required and built movements of unemployed people and that's happened around the world and it's happening in this country but on a much smaller scale. [applause] >> on that note and again going back to the beginning of this evening in fees' dire times as we look what is happening in haiti i think we have to ask ourselves can we really afford not to do anything? if not for yourselves, for people who need your help here and in other places to insure people have the ability to organize on their own and it really does begin right here in this room and other gathering places where we talk, we organize and commit ourselves to making the world a better place, and i can't think of a more wonderful reli

is the estranged wife of mark sanford who, as you may recall, went awol to visit a misthreat in argentinaast summer. his wife has a new book out. that seems to be the thing to do. you write a book after this. in the book, she says that when they got married, she agreed to let him remove the promise to be faithful from the wedding vows. see, now, that -- that should have been a clue right there. if that was me, i'm no lawyer, but for me, that would raise a red flag. for me, i'm saying. she also says the governor was a bit of a cheap skate and for her bit day, he made a drying of half a bicycle and for christmas, she got a drawing of the other half and a $25 used bike. and then another birthday, he bought her a diamond necklace and boxed it back up and returned it to the store. physically responsible, you have to admit that. and now, with valentine's day coming, this guy is trying to profit from it. >> this year for valentine's day, remind that special someone how terrible you are. with the ftd mark sanford floral arrangement. each flower is hand drawn on a standard 8 1/2 by 11 used sheet o

turkey in the '70s and '80s was a bankrupt economy much like brazil, argentina and mexico had a lot of dead bird but it did exactly what they did and went to the imf and ask for help. the imf said to the same thing which is you have to restructure and change your economy and trade with the world. you cannot protect the large industries with tariffs and pour money into then you have to let them die and put the money what the rest of the world is willing to buy. they were dependent on government handouts and support. who was the ones that would take of the mandate? those that were not protected which were small-town businessmen. you can go to turkey there is a little city you're ever on a tourist visit to it is not too far and in the middle of nowhere. and i would say in american terms it is like south bend indiana. [laughter] middle of the country, not associated with a big metropolis not the cultural hub, it is fiercely conservative small-town values but also very capitalist and open. today when you go there, the city is one of the major industrial centers six or 7% of all denim jeans

two people killed in argentina as a 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck in the country's northwest mountainous region and hours before that chile rocked by another quake. this one an incredible 8.8 magnitude. one of the most powerful tremors ever recorded and right now the death toll stands at 214 and rapidly climbing. according to the u.s. geological survey there have been at least 75 aftershocks recorded, each measuring a magnitude of 5.8 or greater. one of the worst days in chile's history but the only light being shed in the matter is that help is finally on the way. in that note, hawaii dodged a massive bullet, we are anxiously awaiting to see what happened today. they were expecting to get hit with a major tsunami that turned out to be anything but and the emergency warning called off as you know. i will keep on the stories and report the latest, geraldo, when we get that in? >> have you ever experienced an earthquake? >> many. as a native san franciscoian, i can remember being a little girl and learning to duck and cover and protect ourselves. we would go under the school desk and had t

some have been better than 6.9 and felt as far away as argentina. that is the feeling at this point. >> larry: wow. we check in with thelma gutierrez, who happened to be in hawaii on a family vacation. we followed her doings all day and you got lucky, right, thelma, nothing really serious happened there? >> reporter: larry, i can tell you people are breathing a huge sigh of relief. this morning about 6:00 the sirens went off in the town right above us. but then the sirens started going off right here at the hiltton waikoloa. people were pounding on the doors to make sure the guests were up and out. that is what we did. we get a phone call saying you've got to go. there is a tsunami warning. i had to gather my family and kids and whatever we could take and quickly get out the door. they took us to this evacuation center. maybe 1,000 guests at that center and in addition to that 500 employees. this is one resort, larry. we watched from big screens as this thing played out and thankfully nothing happened. the swells from the hotel roof top were no more

>> only 5 months and i lived in argentina for 7 years. >> i should note, parenthetically, that it's the neighboring country to the east, also felt this earthquake and in fact, also had at least a few deaths as a result of it. so this was -- was this your first earthquake in chile? >> yes, it's the first earthquake i ever felt. i felt tremors about three weeks ago, and that didn't affect me too much, but it was a strange experience, but this last night was very drama, and i had friends on the 14th floor in a high-rise here, and they said to me that they were shaken from one side of the room to the other, and they really did think that they were about to die. but they were safe as well. and i agree with you about building codes. that friend that i spoke to said that chile has some of the best building codes in the world. and i think that they really helped this time around. >> was it a fact that the government and the officials, including the president, were on the air or on the internet almost immediately reassuring the chilean people that all would be well. and they would help them find

the governor wondered allowed if he should follow his mistress to argentina and what he should do about the media. mrs. sanford said she wished her husband would have kept his thoughts to himself. their divorce is expected to be finalized this month. much of american history could soon be history for north carolina high school students. educators are considering a radical change in curriculum that has some people scratching their heads. correspondent molly henneberg explains. >> he may be the first u.s. president and father of our country. and he may be the president who governed during the civil war and freed the slaves. but under a new curriculum proposal in north carolina high school u.s. history would begin with the presidency of rutherford b. haste 1877. state educators may help students go more in-depth into recent history. >> we are certainly not trying to go away from american history. what we are trying to do is figure out a way to teach it where students are connected to it, where they are able to make connections and draw relationships between parts of our history and the cur

been investigated for ethics violations since admitting he was having an affair with a woman in argentina governor david paterson has cided not to run for a full term after all. the announcement comes just after one day he insisted he was not going to back out. it also comes amid allegations he tried to smooth over a domestic abuse case for one of his aides. paterson said he's never abused his office and it's time for him to step aside. >> i'm being realistic about politics. it hasn't been the latest distraction. it's been an accumulation of obstacles that have obfuscated me bringing my message to the public. there are times in politics you have to know not to strive for service but to step back. >> paterson took over the job as governor back in 2008 after eliot spitzer resigned in the midst of a prostitution scandal. >>> it has been a very busy week in politics here in washington. earlier i talked to fox news sunday host chris wallace to get his take. >> reporter: let's check in with the host of fox news sunday chris wallace. thanks for being here. let's start with the news of the day. w

the president of argentina's central bank was forced to resign because he would not transfer reservesal bank to repay certain government debt. inflation is running near 8% and i'm willing to bet it's going to go higher. now the second path is what i call stale mate between the fiscal and monetary authorities. in such a stale mate, the fiscal imbalance grows while an independent central bank maintains its focus on long run price stability. although the u.s. government is privileged to borrow at favorable rates, the fiscal outlook would undermine this privilege, adding risk premium and the price of its debt in terms of interest rates would increase. also as the government competes with the private borrowers for funds as the economy improves, the potential exists for a fiscal imbalance to drive up the cost of real borrowing and capital to the private sector. eventually this combination of large debt, high cost of borrowing and capital weakens the economic growth prospects and undermines confidence in the economy's long run potential. slowly, but inevitably, if the fiscal debt goes unaddr

the president of argentina, central bank was recently forced to resign because he would not transfer reserves held by the central bank to repay certain government debt. inflation in argentina is currently running near 8% and i'm willing to bet it is going to go higher. now the second path is what i call stalemate between the fiscal and monetary authorities. in such a stalemate the fiscal imbalance grows while an independent central bank maintains its focus on long-run price stability. although the u.s. government is currently privileged to borrow at favorable rates, the fiscal outlook would inevitably i think undermine this privilege, adding risk premium and the price of its debt in terms of interest rates would increase. also as a government competes with the private borrowers for funds, as the economy improves, the potential exists for the fiscal imbalance to drive up real cost of borrowing and real cost of capital to the private sector. eventually this combination of large debt, high cost of borrowing and capital weakens the economic growth prospects and undermines confidence in t

. >> it's unlikely that a government in the end defaults, unless it runs out of money, like argentina. so what happens is governments get forced to push back on their budgets and now they have to go through a 34ri8 political fight. meanwhile, the markets have a very large uncertainty premium and we're seeing that evolve in credit default price swapping and credit spreads. in the end, no government ever pays off its debt. it reschedules the debt. and that's probably how this all works out. the markets don't know what to do with this during the uncertainty period and they're reflecting the uncertainty in these violent moves in the currencies, which is the adjustment process now worldwide. >> so what is the owning, david? does that mean we're going to see a double dip recession? >> well, we're going to see a period of weakness in the second half of this year. we're going to see it in the u.s. after the inventory restocking runs its full course. we're going to see it in labor numbers which will be horrible for most of this year. and we're going to see that in the rest of the mature econom
