wants to force you to buy. the individual mandate is at the heart of the bill. my friend, senator baucus, chairman of the finance committee, said at that markup back in september, 2009, the absence of a requirement of a shared responsibility for individuals to buy health insurance guts the health care reform bill. if the supreme court to strike down the individual mandate, it is not clear that the rest of law can survive. there are individual mandate is the reason that the new law bars insurance companies for denying coverage on pre-existing conditions. sponsors made the mandate the basis for nearly every provision of the law. ruling that all must be struck and reflects the importance of the mandate to the overall outcome. then there is the medicaid issue before us. does the new law amount to coercion of the states? states have the choice to drop out of medicare/medicaid programs. some of my colleagues and the other side of the aisle may make the case today that even though don't and they are really promoting t

buy anything. he is not exclude -- he has now conceded the point that they can make you eat anything that you buy. but they can make you buy a gym membership but they cannot make you go to the gym. that may not be everything. they cannot make you go to the gym, but it is a heckuva lot. people would be surprised that congress -- that there is nothing improper under the commerce clause. let me get back to first principles here. the power of congress to regulate commerce among the several states, which takes place between one state and the other, it goes all the way down to make use the individual person by a gym membership had your gym. that includes that power. that is a stretch. that is a stretch that would and the doctrine of enumerated powers. >> if i may ask one more question, and that would be glad to have all of you respond subject to the chairs time limits, i just want to ask one specific question. you have talked about the police power and the power of the state's relative to the federal the

counter party risk there but in general that's how you go about doing is buying coins buying an e.t.f. on the stock exchange it's a reputable e.t.f. . or buying gold mining stocks the general director of a gold mining company we're exploring for gold in the russian far east you really have to do your homework when you buy stocks mining is a risky business ok well thank you very much thanks very much for that. and that's all we have time for and this edition business program but you can always buy most or even a website called business or join me at twenty past. this is nature and discover is. the. communicate with the wind only. test yourself and become free. to. see what nature can give you. download the official ante up location on the phone called touch from the top story . which all teach life on the go. see video on demand on t.v.'s mine old comes and says feeds now in the palm of your. questions on the dot com. on. morning news today violence is once again flared up the from these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china corporations are the day

getting back to the gun buy back. i think we are right in line. we are doing the same buy back. we could use more. i think if you were to talk about gun violence. in 2006. we took 238 off the street and already in 2008. we have taken 296. a lot of people are high 5ing. to me. where are those guns coming from. where are these guns coming from. if the numbers are becoming so high, we are quadrupling. we better find out where they are coming from. the gun buy back is good because it cuts down to domestic violence. you can no longer sell the gun. people are selling us guns they can't sell otherwise. i am not saying it's a bad program. we would like to have more gun buy backs. it always comes back to capabilities and your help to get to the community and tell people. if you see a gun. call us. we will make a report. we just took an ak 47. we bought that gun and nothing happened. i would rather do that. it's not the absolute program. the other thing i wanted to stress. the call in. we have identified 44 who are at risk. they are either victims or suspects. 9 out of those first are sho

buy anything. the first is that this is a requirement that you make a provision to buy something which you cannot ever be assured you will not use and cannot be assured you won't transfer the cost to others. i think it's distinguishable. secondly, the very form of that argument was used to attack the minimum wage and social security. >> social security was an exercise in spending power. >> the question is it the constitutionality of the minimum wage law of 1936 you would be asking me, is it a regulation of commerce for congress to have a minimum wage of $5,000 an hour? and that has never been a legitimate -- is it a regulation of commerce to say if you buy one car you have to buy three cars? that form of argument, i think, was used against social security and used against medicare and congress in fact never abused that. they never set the retirement age at 25 as the opponents of the social security act said would be possible if you upheld a requirement plan for people over 65. so the very form of t

the stock-buying spree continued on wall street today. tom, the major averages are back to levels not seen in three years, but there are some concerns weighing on investors. >> tom: susie, food prices are one of them. dairy, sugar and cooking oil are just a few commodities that have surged to new highs. and those high prices and shortages are creating fears of unrest in some emerging markets. >> susie: that's part of the reason behind the protests in egypt. so are the fears overblown, or is food inflation a serious concern for american investors? erika miller reports. >> reporter: you may be feeling the pinch of higher food prices at the grocery store, but it's nothing to compared to the crisis that is developing in some emerging market countries. floor trader art cashin warned a year ago that food inflation could be a major headwind for the stock market, and he is still worried about the situation today. >> it is a serious problem, particularly in many emerging nations. there, people spend 40% to 60% of their income on food. while it's a

often when there are dips in the price, they'll come in and buy. so if anything, it tend to be a dampening of the price impact on a short-term trading basis than an exaggeration of it. that said, the longer term picture, where you've got increased demand over a longer period of time necessarily does increase the price. for example, the price of gold is higher on a dollar-per-ounce basis today than it would have been had there not been any establishbecause there's simply more demand. >> tom: you have been at the beginning of creating commodity e.t.f.s. do you have any sense if the supply of commodity backed e.t.f. funds is running dry? >> you'd see there are gaps, for example, industrial metals we have in the u.k. and europe are not yet here. they're in filing. and they may be coming out soon. >> tom: what do you think is driving the interest in commodity-exchanged-traded funds. >> certainly the precious metals market. i think there has been a lot of demand for gold companies or resource companies where people have been trying to get exposure to the

you could buy furs, books, toys, electronics. and with time, we had the advent of the category killers. so the books became barnes and noble, electronics became the best buys and the others. today, they really specialize in apparel and cosmetics. but by and large, they have a shrinking share of market. >> susie: but cooper's decisions haven't always been wise. some tenants have gone bankrupt. k-mart was one of kimco's biggest when if filed for chapter 11 in 2002. cooper was out a big chunk of change, but he says kimco makes its money from land, brick and mortar, not from cash registers. >> in the real estate business, you will find always will have credit and turnover issues. but by and large, over time, tenants come, rents move up historically with inflation, and the real estate business is a much better business, from our point of view, than the retail business. >> susie: to see cooper's business up close, he took me to manetto hill plaza, a typical kimco property. it's a shopping center in plainview, new york. >> what we like

what hardware we would buy would be similar to the ones that we are buying for the server refresh. we would not look at their relationship -- we would make sure to make sure that they match up. i do not want us to spend more money than we need for existing needs, but thinking about the future, two years from now, we do not know what we need. so we need to design the refresh, look at what kinds -- we are going to do with the various vendors. they are going to suggest what we need for this refresh and how we would design the server room. we know that we need more room for additional servers. we will know at that time what kinds of things, the range of things that we would need for the off-the-shelf system, and we would put that together to make sure that we are consistent and moving along, and building -- knowing then current and future needs. >> if the permit tracking system is to be awarded this year, within that installation time period, will that be inclusive also of the training necessary for what will have to be this new system for staff to use? and is that in the budget? >> th

buying one of these is a commitment. we want to show people that this is the place to be to see the most beautiful vehicles on the planet here in detroit. >> will any of these go to the big show? >> the lexus santa fe go over tonight. the bentleys go over tonight. if the brand is also represented in the big show, a lot of these go out. this is over tonight. this is one night affair. >> you will definitely do this next year? >> yes, and last year we took this concept to san jose california and had a gallery out there. >> you have the idea of taking the gallery elsewhere? >> we are not fix today the detroit show, but there is only one detroit. we'll also do over areas. >> very interesting. you will have to keep us posted. this is a clever idea that you have. >> we appreciate your involvement. it's going to be a great evening. >> i appreciate your time. >> and please meet john neale from bonn ton who is here at the gallery -- why? >> well who can recyst? >> resist? >> coming in the dead of winter to detroit, what motivates

. >> you do not buy it. >> i do not buy it. of course, everything is connected, but egypt has had its own story for all of tide. if i first went to egypt in 1985 when there were hopes that mubarak would start opening up dead. -- what open up the end. one cannot believe that there have not been more crisis he had ejected the spark was about to be shot -- crisis. the spike was about to be shot. the sense was if they could do it in tunisia, which was considered to be in mobile, nobody talked about politics there because the chance of change was so distant. they talked about french politics there. for to be shipped to go down, was really -- for some of the jet to go down, was what really spiked something. that is what got people to go off into the streets. i would say one point on the internet. the fact the egyptian government cut off the internet, it was the worst possible thing they could have done. people had to get out of the from behind their computers and into the streets. for those that are looking at turning these communica

instead of buying their transfer, they end up buying candy, and they do not know the consequences of these decisions and what they could face as a result. we should think about the majority of the people who ride the buses. they are low-income poor people. i just want to say that i do contribute to the community here in san francisco. we deserve fast passes. my children deserve fast passes. happy valentine's day. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is hillary liang, a youth commissioner. i go to school at all high school and worked at -- at lowell high school and work at noe valley. i live across the city. it is really hard and tough to get from my home to my school, even to work. not having to worry about bears is really relieving, even if it is only for three months. free transportation will benefit low-income youth. three months is a lot, especially for families who have more than one youth. it will be a lot better for children. i have a 10-year-old little brother. he came up to me one day and told me he did not like riding the bus because we did not have enough money to buy h

phantasmagorical economic shenanigans you've got nonexistent carbon credits based on selling and buying air you've got which is the current capitalism monetized in a corrupt chinese economy and then you've got carlyle group buying into using their free up money the u.s. dollar which is based on nothing has no intrinsic value into both the virtual currency and the nonexistent forest sounds kind of like ponzi when you say. yes it does doesn't it the coins the ponzi well according to my experts on twitter they say it's either quantity or quality the you know it reminds me of those little noodles i used to get on west ninety seven street in new york with the comb but the little peanut sauce and a side order of wedges of lime which were very nice apparently this isn't the only fake company that carlyle group is involved in china the gossip is that they're also invested in china agra tech which is listed on the nasdaq and has business concerns according to their data in china but analysts cannot find any convincing evidence that the bulk of the operations that allegedly exist in china actuall

food commodities to put in the food basket to give to those follow both people so clearly we can buy less food as our donor dollar is stretched and there are more people who are hungry and therefore come into our domain. if i go back to me i think the feeding the world's poor is obviously when you know when people are starving there is the obvious thing you want to do but we need to change tracks and maybe just help people grow food for themselves here because we've seen with the you know i'm not in it you know this anti globalist fanatic type person but i mean we see these trends in the in every culture markets around the world were fewer and fewer people going to countries going to actually feed themselves in the become much more dependent on others and that that trend needs reversed expression if you're helping to feed people when they can't they're spending their time trying to be bad by someone else instead of growing their own food. this i mean there's a couple of issues here if i can just come back on on what the other speaker said in terms of this being n.-g. o. mumbojumbo yo

but first let's have a look at russia's spending patterns for buying food at. the issues circle again and again the global food situation does not look promising with harvests down in many places around the world and transportation becoming more expensive the price of food is increasing as well the public opinion agency in nevada senate conducted a research to assess russians purchasing power for food the overwhelming majority of russians ninety two percent say they don't experience problems buying basic foodstuffs and for only buying food is problematic still many experts say the situation in iran food prices will continue to worsen. ok there's no denying the fact that food is a commodity and you can make money off of it ok the producers and vester is eccentric cetera to what degree it's helpful to the world economy is up to opinion we've seen on this program here but also it's a very political thing at the end of the day food security is determined by each individual country and look let's face it politicians don't want to be thrown out of power because food

have to buy three cars? that form of argument, i think, was used against social security and used against medicare and congress in fact never abused that. they never set the retiremt agat 25 as the opponents of the social security act said would be possible if you upheld a requirement plan for people over 65. so the very form of the argument i think deflects attention from what is basically a completely unremarkable regulation of an important naonal market. >> mr. chairman, i see my time has expired and i have a brief follow-up question, can i ask that and be finished? i was pleased to see in your written testimony you've become such a huge fan of justice scalia's jurisprudence and he's also one of my favorite justices on the court. you quote him repeatedly as a source for the courts wickerby-filburn jurisprudence under the commerce law. is that the case it necessarily reflects his view as an original matter as a matter of first principles or are those views made in recognition of the fact he's bound by star

if you buy an electric car does it make most sense to buy one where you have a set number of miles you drive a day, rather than a long distance? >> essentially. >> i'm thinking about the idea you come home and recharge it at home possibly. though that must be expensive. >> a couple of interesting points you mentioned. we've done a couple of studies that have shown and there are others that have done studies, the average consumer drives less than 40 or 50 miles a day. so there's a lot of concern about the range anxiety. but the average person drives 40 or 50 miles a day. and you come home and you have the gas station at your house now. you can plug in. >> have you found the expense, john mentioned the expense. >> the second on the expense, it's actually when you look at the numbers it's actually cheaper to operate the electric car than a gas car. like 25% of the cost. >> i want to get back to the global issue. i think a lot of people don't realize how much innovation is happening around electric cars. we hear about china. i spent time with them on a couple of trips to china ago and you

verizon or apple: which is the better one to buy?erika miller got some answers. >> reporter: for apple, two really is better than one. whether it's through verizon or at&t, apple is expected sell about 70 million iphones this year, enough for every man, woman and child in the u.k. analyst colin gillis says apple is changing the way people use technology, and that creates customer loyalty. >> there are so many new users who are being introduced into the apple ecosystem via the iphone and via the ipad who are now going and saying "maybe i want to explore getting a macintosh desktop or a macintosh laptop," and these types of items carry a higher average selling price. >> reporter: almost all of the 48 analysts following the stock are bullish, anticipating a 19% gain from today's close. that's in spite of another medical leave for c.e.o. steve jobs. as well as growing competition, especially from devices using google's android operating system. >> android is the fastest- growing operating system out there. and because of the fact that it

kindred health will buy rehab care for almost $900 million. rehab shareholders will get about $37.77 per share based up on tonight's closing prices. kindred healthcare inc. has agreed to acquire rehabcare for close to $900 million, which the companies said would create the country's largest post-acute health-care services company. and that's tonight's "market focus." >> tom: strong corporate profits have helped the stock market grow to two and a half year highs, but growing worries over food supplies have pushed some commodity prices up over generation al highs. deborah borchardt is at the street.com and joins us tonight from the nasdaq. welcome back. so in the world of commodities, what makes agriculture more attractive than oil or gold? >> here's the thing. as you mentioned commodity prices have gone up 15 to 20% since the summer, and they are predicted to continue going up. so you don't want to be in the stocks that are at the end of the food chain that are buying food. you want to be at the beginning of the food chain, the ones that are ma

to buy series i u.s. savings bonds for you. the current composite yield is only about three-quarters of a percent, but that's better than most money market funds. the bonds come in $50 increments and any odd amount of your refund can be electronically deposited to your savings account. finally, in a test this year, uncle sam is offering 600,000 taxpayers the chance to have refunds loaded on to a debit card that can be used to withdraw funds at atm or pay for purchases. this option is aimed at folks who don't have bank accounts and may have to pay high fees to cash their refund checks. one more thing about refunds: too many of us are addicted to them. last year, nearly 110 million taxpayers got an average of $3,000 each. if you're in this group, please file a new w-4 form with your employer to reduce tax withholding form your paychecks. it really is better to get your money when you earn it, rather than having to wait for a springtime refund no matter how you choose to get your money. i'm kevin mccormally >> susie: kevin will be
