first up congressman brad sherman, a democrat from california.the worst part about this for me is the fiscal stuff and you being from california you know the horror that your state's going through right now. it could get worse. and i'm just really worried, i'm not buying the cbo numbers and i don't like the social security and payroll tax raided to pay for this. i don't believe they're going to get 500 billion dollars out of medicare, i just don't believe it. i could be wrong, congressman, i could absolutely be wrong on this, it's just a gut thing, but does not enter into your thinking at all this could be a fiscal disaster? >> when it comes to fiscal projections i don't rely on my gut, i'd rather rely on the cbo. the president system could explode downward. you see more and more people losing their coverage, they could end up on medicaid, especially if they have a diagnosis. that first operation make, takes away their own assets and then they're eligible for medicaid so i think the worst thing we could do from our fiscal system is to leave the l

and, in fact, one of the authors not included but who's worth following is brad delong who's cited in the book. he's not interviewed but he's cited. and, in fact, delong pointed out some benchmarks of how income per capita has risen over time. if you imagine that the growth rate hasn't just been a flat sort of 2% per year but it's been accelerating say 1800, that boils down to abo percentage of growth rate in a decade saying at 70 years we'll be 3% there. and a decade after 3.1%. what are the implications on that? the implications to is this is that we're not going to have a world where the development gap that's discussed between, say, haiti, and the united states is filled in but the poor cousins won't converged. that was something i looked at since my dissertation in economics. i thought i would be able to find evidence that there was indirect convergence over the long term. and instead what you see is the wealthy country, especially the lead economy diverging, getting wealthier and wealthier and you look at places like haiti and they're stagnant. i normally agree with almost every

red wing, minnesota, brad on independent line. caller: one thing, i would like to go back a few years when george bush was in office and the republicans were in office. freddie mac and the other one, their percentage of house foreclosures were a lot less than the other banks that had to take money from the american people. what have they done since? when george bush left office, congress had a lower approval rating than he did. so american people know exactly who is doing what to whom. the republicans paid a price for it than that and they will pay another prize over health care. host: long island, new york, anthony, democrat line. caller: as the gentleman just spoke, i do believe there was a complicity within our government to undermine most of our financial institutions and to siphon the money out of our economy into the pockets or the hands of big business leaders. if you look -- i am on long island's and there was a gentleman, a developer, who was pardoned and then on parton -- remember christmas two years ago right before bus

i am brad thomas with the calgon foundation. i have a historical question for tim sandefur. presumably when the supreme court essentially eliminate the core of the 14th in a minute, many of them and let pass of protection over to were still around. was there much stronger reaction. did they reckon eyes what would happen and was a response to a historically? >> as far as i know surprisingly little at first, of course, then in 1875 i think it is in the debate over the ku klux klan bill, then there is a whole second round of discussions in congress over what the privileges or immunities clause was intended to mean back there and so forth. but i haven't looked in for instant newspapers and magazines that i have not examined that so i don't know the answer to that. of course, remember slaughterhouse is 1873. that was the same year that the supreme court relying on its decision in the slaughterhouse held that women had no rights to practice law and therefore the state of illinois could forbid her from taking the blogs and. i think it was two years which was a colfax massacre case

and i'll go over some brad drake ideas at play in the metallica a few pro-grams.t of all, we have to consider what is the goal? is a tactical counterterrorism goal? are we primarily individually concerned with those we have in custody and not said? or is it a broader effort is part of an effort to stabilize the company adtran involved or counterinsurgency campaign. and that will of course play out in terms of how we're implementing the programs, how we talk about the programs and how the public is either involved or not involved in the programs that did the deed. another essential question to ask is what is attainable and pragmatic on the timeline involved for those who are holding the individuals? this is something of u.s. policy make are we always need to be considerate about -- concerned with when you're trying to figure well, how long does it take to change someone's mind? are we more effectively for only changing behavior, if for the deadline abuzz because we know we have to really somebody at some point, perhaps they ascendance already and they will be locke

. >> brad schaeffer with heritage foundation. i'm going to ask a timeless question. the house and senate occasionally pass legislation to withhold to this contributions to the united nations when there is the organization work some of its activities are objectionable invariably the senate and state department comes back and says these are treaty obligations that we are beholden and obligate to provide whatever money the united nations asks to provide. and i would like to know what your thoughts on that is withholding useful, does it advance u.s. interests and is it an obligation that the u.s. is bound to fulfill? >> i don't think there's any question that withholding u.s. assessed contributions from the u.n. system has been effected but getting the system's attention to make it least some small reform. i think the problem is it's not been effective enough. the argument that we are required to pay what the u.n. is assessed, with the u.n. is assessed by the majority in the u.n. and so i think is an argument that ultimately means that we agreed to an international taxat
