around that same time, she worked as an intern, i would guess, in the office of then- congressman bill cohen of maine, during the watergate and nixon impeachment. that must have been a busy and exciting time to be in the congress. madame lagarde also knows this is a tough town, and even g.o. economics is sometimes a contact sport. i just hope the fact of it being a tough town is not connected with her limited mobility here today. she also knows, as we do all, that this is a season in washington distinguished by two things, cherry blossoms, and the fund-bank meetings. the latter of those is what she will talk about this morning. she will give us insight into the activities and the meetings that will take place here during the week ahead. she will be talking about the state of the global economy. she will be giving us some thoughts on what it will take to keep the recovery on track, what it will take to assure there will be growth and indeed smart growth in the global economy, and i suspect the subject of europe will also come up, which makes it particularly appropriate that a distinguished fe

bill cohen is the author of power and money how goldman sachs came to ruled the world. rnoon, bill. the british government slashed 25% of its housing expenditure. 25% of its other expenditures, social programs and so far. and now find themselves double-dipping into recession. yet we read in paul ryan's budget that it would cut $120 billion over the next two years from discretionary programs and 284 billion from mandatory programs. why do we believe this a ryan budget will do anything but what has happened in britain? >> there's no reason to believe that it won't be exactly the same thing. you cannot possible, martin, cut that much spending out without some sort of corresponding increase in taxes. we all know what they are at this point. they have been renumerated repeatedly. after the election, because of the expiration of the bush tax cuts, because. see quester that everyone talked about, there will be in the next few years, up to $7 trillion in cuts that we are going to lose in spending in this economy. which means that we have a perfect blueprint in what we saw in the

cohen. he represents defense contractors and others. good to see you, bill. neither side is really releasing specifics about this agreement, but it does say that there is a pledge at least in principle here that there will be financial and military support for ten years after 2014 withdrawal. how important is that to the afghans? >> well, i think it's important to send the signal that the united states, unlike russia, is not simply going to depart and leave them to fend for themselves against the taliban and others. and so the signal being sent is we're there for a longer period of time. i think that will be conditioned, frankly, upon others joining with us. the united states is not going to make a long ten-year term commitment without support from our allies. so i think that's why the president wanted to make sure this could be signed before may 10th, so that nato allies could also be a part of this and also indicate their support. but it does represent that we're going to be shrinking our forces. we're going to reduce them substantially so that we're not pu
