so strategically, with our blinders on, the regional transportation plan is most significant in terms of the regional funding investment policies that will come out of it. what programs are established as mentioning the need for pedestrian safety funding. because m.t.c. gets a whole bunch of money from the state and regional level and divides that into a series of programs which effectively determines what kinds of projects can get funded that discussion happens in the fall. and in the second, very closely linked parted of that, is within all of that regional discretionary money, deciding how much of that gets directed to the various jurisdictions in the bay area. and we think there's a really good opportunity for a bigger share of that funding to get directed at places like san francisco that are growing in the right ways, and smart growth, accepting affordable housing and so forth. so that's a lot of what our advocacy is directed towards. and i wanted to acknowledge amber for outstanding work on this. it's very complicated. you have to be in the weaves of sponsors, helping them fill

think that's why the young people are so attractive because they see the future you know taking the blinders off and they see the future and they don't want anything to do with it we don't want to do with that either but over he said he said the establishment is setting this up as between how leonti and romney both people who have advocated for health care is the only reason they're doing this because when they have santorum the baby next to paul and you can't tell them apart. well rick santorum i think you can tell them apart for from all the other ones because by the time to get to an end of the end of a debate in i think there will be another one in new hampshire in june the number of countries that are located in the middle east that rick santorum has not advocated a balmy jesus belt of he is few and far in between so he seems to be on an island out there by himself but what i mean by the way your status may choose a new candidate it's mitt romney's turn you know remember in two thousand and eight that he took a backseat he fell on the story he dropped out doors john mccain he did everyt

we put the blinders on and put earplugs in our ears and kept going forward to what we wanted to do. [applause] >> my name is ashley, and i was wondering, when you were in college for a long time did you start to drift off even though you are doing what you loved? love? did you ever change a major quake in combat? >> some people do that. i didn't and people say being a doctor for so many years, you have to live those many years anyway. when i went to a university, there was a prescribed course that you had to take in the curriculum and you have to follow so i followed the creek on. however some of my colleagues who are physicians now, they took two years and they went to chinese literature or art and they came back to pre-med and they just didn't go to medical school right away. in my situation i went straight from undergrad to medical school without any sort of deviation. >> thank you. >> are welcome.

some of the -- i would say less arrogance and blinders to the effect of what he does shortfall. so he knows it is a value to the world to have this information anyone can search and that's important and so he's so focused on that the media and the evil action since he can get the concerns of authors but when he sees them going up there and come planning and that sort of the way he sees it he doesn't have much patience for it and when he talks about the people who talk about privacy, google was very concerned about privacy, but a lot of people what google don't think much of privacy advocates. and they think that those people are out playing some angle or something like that and that enables google to charge forward and get things done, but it's not going to help them to act much when they are fighting antitrust charges were justifying what they do in a regulatory or a legal sense. >> that's what -- as we move forward there is going to be more of that as they get bigger and bigger so let's take some questions. the first one certainly a good question here, how will google change a

a month ago sitting right in the middle there was allen blinder who used to be the vice chairman of the federal reserve, and he was on a three or four person panel talking about deficit reduction and we asked a group of smart people of what they thought we ought to be doing. he said the 800-pound gorilla in the room is health care costs. we live in a country where we spend twice as much on health care than japan and they get better results. i followed up with the comment with respect to health care payments, what's your advice? he said, i don't know much about that. he said, but as a layperson, i say this, find out what works, and do more of that. that's what he said. find out what works, do more of that. democratic senators were at the white house yesterday with the president, and our republican friends were there today. we had a conversation about deficit reduction, and i shared that comment which i think are not only appropriate for health care, but really for the way we spend money throughout the government, and my own view, and i shared this with alan that day, i said, hey, we need

but what the republicans are proposing today is so -- has blinders on it. it does not recognize that what it is doing does nothing to reduce the price at the pump in e

my guest at the dinner last night was economist alan blinder who used to be the clinton administrationhe idea of raising it two months at a time is really going to put america in jeopardy in terms of people's beliefs in our system and in terms of what we do as we quoted to me, alexander ma'am illton said you have to pay the bills first. although i believe in taking a look at the whole budget, two months at a time puts america in jeopardy. >> and tim geithner suspected maybe raising 2 trillion dollars, but maybe hold off until july is the speculation. audrey, what do you think is likely the bill crafted out of the senate. what do you think comes out of that. >> i can't see the future, i'm not sure which direction they're going. two options right now, one is doing it for a longer period of time. with the two month extensions you face the possibility of greater reforms to the debt. but also, you face the problem of people possibly losing their appetite for those reforms. >> the oracle of omaha last night made it clear that we have to raise this debt ceiling just to throw that in. but elle

. >> the difference between going down to the white house and they made the efficient use by blinder corporation are you concerned there well not pass the legal muster? >> the better question should be addressed to than they did the research and the lawyers advice and it is permissible but i have now looked at the legality of that. >> what about the recess appointment? in your conversations with the white house did you say you were involved with this one? what gives you comfort? fam negara talks were about the issue of recessing appointments this weekend i was confident the. >> but that is what you have the most? >> we did not talk about individual. >> you said if you do this together with the political fallout but the last big thing that was done together, as senator sununu smith and coleman might disagree with you. how do think in this environment today? >> yes. i have been talking about intel reform and the 83/84 decision and election are pretty close analogy to what we are in the process of considering doing here. it clearly could have been argued it impacted benefits because soc

security council resolutions imposing blinder to the combined and obligations of states to implement sanctions against iran, the e.u., japan, south korea, canada, norway, switzerland, and australia have also imposed robust autonomous sanctions against iran. as a result, there's an international consensus to raise the cost of iran's refusal to meet its international nuclear obligations, and these are not the end of our efforts. we continue to review reports of sanctions will activity, engaging with foreign governments and evaluating a declining u.s. sanctions laws. let me to give you of your questions. >> just on the pdvsa whitcomb use it that you had considered the effect of the oil market before making a decision. can you say how you arrived at that conclusion and a little bit more about what pdvsa was doing specifically to assist iran speed at -- >> well, i think that with respect to the impact of these, we consulted closely with the economic agencies, including doe and other economic agencies. and in terms of the specific methodologies, you may want to ask that when we have some e

we have taken the blinders off.tic institutionalized kids to asperger's we are saying, you know, perhaps there is more of the kids in this spectrum. >> you're saying this is including a group of children on one end of the spectrum they wouldn't have been diagnosed 15, 20 years ago. >> they weren't diagnosed. i would suspect they are underdiagnosed today. these are kids who go on to do very creative things. may have phenomenal social skills. maybe the kids you meet that have trouble looking at adults in the eye but go on to create phenomenal companies. we can think in our heads about a lot of people creating a lot of products in the silicon valley. >> they could have been in that group. 1 in 38 children in the study had some form of autism. >> right. >> of those 1 in 38, half of them began to show signs before the age of 3. that's important information for parents. >> for any mother with a boy, look for the soft signs, things like loud noises bothering your child, a child covering his or her ears, the inability to ma

my own strong view is that we should heed professor blinder's advice. we need to continue to work to keep investing in those things that will help us create good-paying jobs. timing is important. we clearly need to reduce the deficit, but we should adopt policies this year that will put us on a long-term path to reduce the deficit. but i hope these policies will delay major cuts in spending and major increases in taxes until we can come out of this recession some additional distance. now let me talk about the deficit, the second of the challenges that i talked about before. we have a chart here called federal revenues and outlays as a percentage of gross domestic product. this is for a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010. and it's a chart that the congressional budget office prepared and has presented to us. clearly there are some important points you can take away from this chart. number one, on average over the last 40 years -- that's since 1970 -- the federal government has accounted for 20.7% of gross domestic product, the spending by the federal gove
