>> the latter brenda, yes. it's the less, less temporary and less limited, i think the closer you were to the northeast. so, people obviously on long island, new jersey are going to feel it the most in spikes in prices and people in california feel it less. toby makes a very good point about insurance rates, but i think back to katrina and i did not see, can't recall seeing any spike in insurance rates. so, you know, thingsike lumber again. this is more localized. not to minimalize it, but it's more localized at this point. >> brenda: susan. >> there are tremendous costs, and infrastructure destroyed, businesses, rail line tracks washed away in new jersey, and there's a lot of rebuilding and costs assembled in the various pieces and we need to remember when we start looking at blood prevention policies as we move forward, the impact, the economic impact and really, the amount of investment we're going to need to make in order to try to prevent some of the things in the future. >> brenda: actually, jonas, there'

brenda? >> thank you, james. you saw the unions flexing their muscle and my guest says be careful what you wish for. what do you mean, be careful what you wish for? >>guest: people are hurting. look at the people if line, they are desperate to get deals because they are hurting financially. it is not just people hurting. but businesses, as well. big is down overall. the corporate earnings will be down if the third quarter in a row. people may not care about that but corporate earnings translate to jobs. the job market is very sticky. people are having a very difficult time getting jobs. this is the wrong time to be trying to flex your muscle if you are a labor union. businesses don't know what their health care costs will be and we are seeing them take full time jobs and moving to part time jobs and higher paying jobs going do lower paying jobs. if you have a job, i would suggest you be happy are about it right now in this environment. the time for unions to strengthen their muscle is when the economy is good not

organization and the project, the mayor of san francisco ed lee. [ applause ] >> thank you, brend brenda. good morning, everyone, welcome to the chinese center, where the hospital has been since the late 1800s. this is history for all of us. it is history for our city. and those of you who know about that history, know that chinese hospice was built in a time when immigrants came here and faced discrimination. they faced a whole lot of barriers. they couldn't buy property. they couldn't get healthcare to people that were working in the gold mines and on the rail roads. and this is something that many generations of immigrants to come to this country have learned about, even in a wonderful city, and ininclusive city like san francisco. so it is in the backdrop that all of us have come together to support moderization of our central healthcare system. and we know how valuable the chinese hospital has been to this community. but now, today, it is more valuable not just for people who live in china town, it is an extremely valuable center where all of the doctors have come and the clinicians

joining us is brenda buttner anchor of fox's "bulls and bears." after being demonized by spending money. >> a lot of it. >> now that it is all over. in the words of rod can i king can we all get along? >> the financial services spent $61 --61 million on romney's campaign. but we really saw what wall street thought after the election when the stock market had the worst day of the year. you could see that was definitely election related. you saw investment banks get very hard hit because there will probably be a lot more regulation. you saw that utilities went down and hospitals and insurers would benefit from obamacare and managed health companies go down. wall street said we don't like this. we're seeing a lot of lobbyists come out with more conciliatory language. there is hope there can be a compromise. because in the fiscal cliff comes on january 1. >> i think the cbo was saying 9.1% unemployment and it could be catastrophic and drive us into another recession. look if taxes go up on the wealthy and that has been the president's mantra, could th

brenda buttner is the anchor of "bulls and bears" -- good to see you. problem would it seem to me is lenders. >> that is one of the biggest problems. it's legal in two states. it's illegal in 48 states and it's illegal nationally under federal law. under the bank's secrecy -- banks have to report any secret activity. so you could get shut down so why would a bank wanted to deal with you anyway. it's hard to get any kind of credit. there is no way they are going risk their reputation and pay civil and criminal penalties if they lend to these businesses. if you can't get money, how do you do it? >> gregg: i think they are waiting for doj to either seek a federal could court injunction or dea. i have a sense you are not going to get either one from holder and they are expecting a statement as to what they are going to do here. >> here is the issue largely by economics. we've got states and local governments that are cash strapped. they have deficits. they can't print money. in colorado alone this measure is expected bring in $60 million in tax revenues. th
