financing, c.p.a., legal services, a lot of the basic services that small businesses need and then we start working on marketing collateral. teaching them how to design. one-page fax sheets that create their identity and understanding of their reliability. we end the session with a networking opportunity where they get to meet some of the workers and heads of citibank and buyers from sfmta. i think a flier was distributed. i don't know if we can get this -- so it's completely free. it's being underwritten by city foundation and we're doing it in the mission district, at mission language and vocational school, who provide a number of programming for the community, and then it's something that we'll have continuing on on -- an ongoing basis. we're taking the same pool, after we've introduced them to sfmta, and we're going to represent them to san francisco h.r.c. and see if he can -- we can get them into thety's pipeline. if there are any companies that you guys think might be a good fit -- we've looked at the various type of construction firms. you can see it's everything from general

our tour we look at how i fully cashing in on their perfect bodies with glossy covers saying what a c.p.a. and racing sport right out of the games and also. are you excited about the olympics and knowing here. our resident in new york is also. people whether they actually care about their lives that's coming your way shortly here on our city. for now there were syrian rebels claim that government tanks have started moving into aleppo where the battle for the city possibly proving to be a turning point in the unrest opposition fighters also say government forces a shelling several areas and all of this despite a u.n. efforts on the ground and international calls for both sides to stop the violence reporting from inside syria artie's talks on a boycott. one week has passed since the united nations has issued a new mandate for its observer mission in syria beach and this theoretically should help calm tensions in this country but if anything violence in syria has only intensified over the past week the clashes between the army and the rebel still continue in the northern city of aleppo with

the data and i'll give you a c.p.a. exam to have guns ok david go ahead after after sure after after the terrible murders at virginia tech in two thousand and seven the country fortunately didn't get into this kind of hysterical debate that that some of our other guests are trying to get into and the national rifle association as well as some of the gun control groups in the administration other people came together to find ways to improve the background checks so that meant state mental health records which weren't getting into the federal databases so that a person would be denied a gun purchase were improved that's the kind of constructive solution we can continue to ignore if they don't want to influence our every resident obama spoke i know is about improving those mental health records. why can't everyone who wants to go in america undergo a background check we have to get licenses to drive cars because cars kill people too why can't we go into every one of the only cars in america should have a license if you're

without being a c.p.a.or having any undergraduate study her former job duties involved managing and doing audit and reconciliation and customer segregated funds account so here staff accountant is promoted to c.f.o. of a company of this size under the regulators eyes this is gotta raise red flags russ was a door senior the owner and c.e.o. of the company builds a twenty four million dollar building in cedar falls iowa far away from any financial centers and goes in on a private jet to fly back and forth between chicago and cedar falls there's all sorts of things that we could talk about that just don't make any sense and the type of people that he surrounded himself with is in this company you were a the type of people to say no or to ask questions because they were all enjoying the ride you know surrounding himself with people who agree with everything you did and did not ask questions and at the same time allegedly falsifying information that the company was posting losses while he's investing in a privat

as a c.p.a. i know we need more transparency in washington. it should start with the federal reserve. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland. mr. cummings: i yield to mr. kucinich one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio is recognized for one minute. mr. kucinich: i ask unanimous consent to include in the record of this debate an article about the fed's policy model sacrifices its maximum employment mandate and targets 5% to 6% unemployment. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. kucinich: i ask unanimous consent to include in the record of this debate an article from bloomberg news that talks about how secret fed loans gave banks billions that were undisclosed to congress. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. kucinich: this is all about disclosure and accountability. you know, the fed's not some kind of hocus pocus black box operation. the fed essentially supplants the constitutional mandate in article 1, section 8, that belongs to the congress of the united states. let's loo

my dad was a c.p.a. we were very middle class, lower middle class i would say and i started working little jobs when i was 16, 17 and i got mad. i hate to aim myself, but the minimum wage was quite low then. it was in the cents. like 75 cents an hour or something. and i remember saying why do i have to pay anything to the government? i don't want to pay anything. and my father would say to me, you kiss the ground you walk on because you live in america. and we have to have things in this country to make us great. and don't you ever forget that and don't you complain about it. he also said you make sure it's spent right and you make sure you have a voice in it, but this country needs to be strong. so to have millionaires and billionaires take their money out of the america -- out of america and hide it in other accounts, that's not something i would be proud of. we should invest our funds here and everyone should pay their fair share. now, here's the deal. the republicans have said if they take over all o

not to mention employers and c.p.a.'s and estate planners. in fact, if we don't extent the current estate tax the estates required to file paperwork with the i.r.s. rise from about 8,600 to 107,500. that's a lot of time and cost that could be avoided. the planning costs associated with this tax are not only a drain on business resources but also take money away from the day-to-day operations and investing in the business. even with planning, uncertain tax law combined with changing land values and family situations make it impossible to guarantee that an estate plan will protect a family farm or ranch. this not only can cripple a farm or ranch operations but it hurts all throughout all of our rural communities up and down main street, every business that agriculture supports. the death tax is one of the worst offenders in bringing real complexity to the tax code. and i believe it is one of the most distortive provisions in our system. now, some -- some believe and will point out that the estate tax is an instrument of social justice, that it

in addition there's got to be an annual review by independentering c.p.a. just like the police cannot prevent all bank robberies, market regulators cannot prevent all financial fraud. having said that, the system failed to protect the customers and we all must do better. the commission has been actively working to improve protections of customer funds. we finalized four separate critical roles in this regard. we also worked with the national futures association and futures industry over these last seven or eight months and finalized last week rules that are new, commonsense rules to protect customers. but the c.f.t.c. has been implementing also significant restructuring our oversight of intermediaries. we have hired new leadership of this division and stood up to new examination of group nine months ago. looking forward i believe it's critical that we further update our roles, giving regulators direct electronic access to all bank accounts and custodial accounts. now, we don't yet know the full facts of this circumstance, but we are committed at the c. cftc
