but in reality police are committing illegalities or crimes across the country every day the cato institute happens to follow such cases of abuse and post them on the web site police misconduct and that just today the cato institute posted reports against police overstepping authority from new mexico illinois connecticut louisiana nebraska and elsewhere one such case that today's of a new jersey state trooper who held an illegal high speed escort on the highway when it's caught eyewitness to the joyride caught on tape and reported the officer who's now been sentenced to one year probation but not all cases of misconduct are as harmless as a high speed joyride what happens when police overstep their boundaries or take the use of force too far that's what witnesses in kern county california are saying about a case where seven county deputies were involved and beating an unarmed man to death the sheriff's office has stonewalled reporters want to know more about the allegations and attempted to actually visited the home of the observers who phoned nine eleven to turn i'm going to turn over any

technologies always come in a political and social context, which is why we see the cato institute andartland institute backing geo- engineering but bagging or attacking or dissing renewable energy. >> let me ask you about what is happening in australia. that is where you are from. the australia pushing for an amendment to the london protocol on marine pollution and dumping at sea which would have the prohibition of the practice the oceans, this just announced by the government. quite a bit of a surprise. it is part of a growing push from a range of entries, mostly from the south but also backed by some scandinavian countries, to try to develop an international government structure to regulate research into geo-engineering. i was very pleased to see that the australian government was on the side of progress in this particular case. , includinguntries the united states, are kind of taking an arms length view. we do not really want to get involved. it is not big enough yet. the same goes for some of the big environment groups. >> you have talked about this before, putting iron sulfate in

michael cannon of the conservative cato institute says the study throws a stop sign in front of obamadicaid expansion. a maybe a stop sign or maybe even a green light. regarding the access to health care, cutting down on high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes, the length of the study was just two years long, researchers warn that positive health he cans might take more time to show up. the finger-wagging from the right ignores the positive health care impacts. medicaid made people much more likely to be financially stable. those who had health care coverage were 30% less likely to be depressed. for people without medicaid, 5.5% reported spending more than 30% of their income on their health care. that income was zero for those with medicaid. those with health care took part in preventive services much more often. including mammograms and cholesterol tests, sara collins vice president at the commonwealth fund say it will have long-term impacts. the overall finding is they're using more preventive services and going to the doctor more. she said the health incomes take time. the big

on that same note the cato institute which is a right leaning think tank here in town also did a similar study and they did use dynamic scoring and they found that the reform bill would add one point five trillion to the economy and that by forcing the eleven million undocumented workers out of the country that there would actually be a two point six trillion dollar loss over ten years to the g.d.p. adding it adding people to citizenship or painting paving the pathway to citizenship for eleven million people that doesn't increase prosperity it doesn't increase production i mean we have a jobs problem here it's not that we don't have enough people working is that we don't have enough exports we don't have enough products being made is that just simply making somebody legal status is that going to increase your economic output . well what it will do is you're right they're already here there are already working and the question is how do we get them on the books basically how do we get them to pay taxes what it will do is boost tax revenue these people come out of the woodwork to. obtain p

be able to collect taxes across their borders or not i spoke earlier with dan mitchell of the cato institute who does not believe and representative dennis ross let's listen to their discussion. representative ross was also a original co-sponsor of the marketplace fairness ags last congress so mr ross can you please explain to us why you believe that state should have the power to collect taxes across state borders. well it's clearly an opportunity to provide the jurisdictional infrastructure to allow for the collection of taxes that are due when i was in the florida legislature several years ago i was a sponsor of the streamlined sales tax because the state of florida was losing several billions of dollars a year. that they could not recoup and i think what we need to do is to be honest with each other and so you're either going to have be responsible for self. paying our taxes or allow for an infrastructure that has the jurisdiction of authority to make sure that taxes are appropriate collected so that we do have an even playing field now mr mitchell do you believe that the states should h

things like americans for prosperity, freedom works, the cato and heritage institutes at washington we find them mention on the website and we tallied back, but it usually was just a link. now i think there's a lot of variety in this. i have to say up with americans for prosperity has been a regional organizers and established a presence in the midwest and wisconsin and we found her by the were trying to send speakers out and that's a big mechanism because the local groups wanted to bring in speakers. they don't see that as control. they have the whole place to talk about a beverage system. one final thing i will say is w looked for signs of federations from below. that is groups forming a stay federation. as you know, they did in virginia and that's quite remarkable. there may be some signs of that in michigan, but i think on the whole the local groups often go their own way and don't perceive when there be an influence from outside. >> i would just add a tiny point, which is the national organization we saw consistent approval for her. it was fox news. the conservative media were oft

and mark calabria of the cato institute to give us the mark to market breakdown after all so is there anything illegal or immoral to what happened if there's nothing illegal to what apple is doing apple is taking advantage of the united states tax system i think united states tax system has a problem and needs to be changed because what apple does is basically it goes to the lowest tax country can find join the british virgin islands which charges a very very low tax rate and keeps all its money there so it's not even paying the european tax rate or the chinese tax with other countries where it's going if we simply charge every country every company in america and appropriate rate it could be lower i mean if i were twenty five percent to repatriate funds in they'd come back in to be used to the economy they would have to go through these machinations and this illegal or immoral well it's not illegal and i don't think it is immoral either i mean we will agree the problem here is not necessarily companies or individuals when you respond to incentives it's least well i think if you have

inside scoop as well as mark calabria who's the director of financial regulation studies at the cato institute. on the the force. because i think that some of the fundamental assumptions are do you think too big to fail is an economic issue or you think it's a political issue and quite frankly i don't think getting one company is so big and of course it's also important to remind the option is not necessarily fail we all probably flown on a bankrupt airline there are ways to take these things in bankruptcy continue to keep them going turn debt holders in the creditor to debt holders in equity holders and keep these institutions going rather than a false choice of bail out or liquidate so my point is that i think too big to fail is fundamentally the perception by the marketplace on whether you will be assisted by the government so it's a question of whether government officials will step in and protect pitot primarily creditors if that is the case and those institutions are able to borrow at a lower rate they're able to grow and push their competitors out of the marketplace because in the finan
