host: dennis in columbus, ohio. caller: good morning. the reason the government is not using gravity as a power source -- it is very cheap and inexpensive, possibly the lowest cost you can get. guest: again, i am not a scientist, so i cannot tell you why they have done so for the economics have not worked out. my company is working with a group on a green city, and one of the things we look at to make sure that it would be a need neighborhood development city, the entire city, was using title search, because it is off in john. inch'on as the second largest tidal surges in the world. that it seemed to meet to be a very good way to use green power. i don't know how you capture the gravity. i cannot speak to what the technical obstacles are to bringing gravity on as a power source. but i was fascinated that in order to really channel the power of the waves and the tide, you would be changing ecosystem surrounding it. you have to channel it. there are a lot of possibilities out there, things that sound really good initially and a cut in aid

. >> host: denniston columbus, ohio. >> caller: good morning.my question for you is the reason why people for the government or the government isn't using gravity as a power source. it is very cheap, inexpensive and probably the lowest cost you can get. >> guest: again, i am not a scientist so i can tell you why they happened. it would clearly be that so far the economics have not worked out. i know for instance my company whitman strategy group is working with the developer on a green city in one of the things we looked at and trying to ensure that the city was going to be a lead city, the entire city was using title search, because it is right off and sean and incheon is the second-highest title searches in the world and that seemed to me a good way to use green power, but what we saw and maybe the same kind of thing i don't know how you capture gravity, i can't speak to what the technical obstacles are to bringing gravity on as a power source but i was fascinated when you thought about it made sense, in order to channel the power of the waves

host: columbus, ohio, a democrat. caller: good morning, c-span, and welcome, a despe -- welcome, at best. i think you answered my question a moment ago, but when you listen to all the pundits in this particular situation with health care, they mention a number -- $500 million cut -- is that million or billion -- cut in medicaid, due to reduced money might states matching, and the federal government is going to make the cuts. what is going to be done to close the gap, if anything? am i correct in my thinking? guest: not absolutely certain, but what we're hearing -- it is usually a reference to medicare, health care for the aging. we could do things more efficiently and there would be cost savings and hopefully it that would not impact negatively on people using the services. the cuts happening in medicaid have to do with that state's meeting to rein in their costs and renegotiate the benefit levels in their own estates. what would help would be providing -- the president and congress to provide more federal money to th

host: jerry, columbus, ohio. caller: over the last 75 years, the chamber of commerce, national association of manufacturers and others have done all they can do to prevent the common guy -- and i am in my eighties. i am so fed up with these guys. they do not give a hoot about the forgotten man, as fdr called the working man. they only want to hang on to with they have. it is almost criminal. they not say anything about the to dollar up to $3 trillion or in iraq, now having gone on longer than most world longeri and world war ii. there is a book and i wish to do a program on how money we're spending on that. host: let's look back at "the washington post" article that says according to the chamber of commerce, the president and chief executive officer, it pushes the most aggressive effort in our newly hundred-year history. do you think this effort could backfire for the chamber of congrescommerce? caller: just a short comment. when the chamber of commerce is so adamant against a specific bill that the president wan

host: columbus, mississippi, bombing good morning -- bonnie, good morning. caller: the gem and was just talking about what medicaid, and i will put in their medicare, pays. -- the gentleman was just talking about what medicaid, and i will put in their medicare, pays. this administration has just flipped. it is going to wind up being a one pair plan. there is no way that the government and our tax dollars -- and they will not have the revenue coming in to pay for all of these programs. already, we have doctors who are not taking medicare simply because they are not reimbursed enough, and medicaid is the same thing. what are we going to do when doctors start getting out of practice and stop taking -- either stop taking medicare and medicaid altogether? where is that going to leave the other people who are depending on the government? the government is not working any way. guest: the caller touches -- the caller touches on the medical practices that will be changing under this bill. i think you will be seen the private practice doctor and the group of doctors p

and so they learn about christopher columbus or whatever, and when they go home their mother is on drugs or whatever. host: do you have kids in public school right now? caller: yes, i do. not public school, but day care. they are still in day care. host: are you going to send her or him to public or private school? caller: i think it will be public school because the public schools in belleville -- host: y. the think they are good? what is the difference? caller: probably the tax base, much more funding. host: finally, chris from baltimore, maryland. a teacher. what do you teach? caller: high-school science. host: do you teach in the baltimore public schools? caller: i used to teach in baltimore public schools and now i teach in pg county, outside of d.c. host: the you teach in the public schools? caller: that is correct. host: prince george's county. caller: now i greatest a d. there is a little improvement but there is a major concern about the lack of funding, especially in schools that are very large like myself. i currently teach about 190 kids on a daily basis and i am expected to

former buckeye and nfl start crisp human stood before a packed house in columbus oh how. there he was, one of the toughest guy to ever play the game of football recount a very tender and touching story about a challenge he and his wife faced a few years ago. chris and stephanie when the midst of her bout with cancer that she was two years cancer free when she came to chris with a harsh drop in news that a husband and dad don't want to hear. something is happening she told. i don't you're right that i need to see a doctor. what they learned was that stephanie was pregnant, and that would normally be joyous news. but because of her cancer they were faced with a unique talent that tested their fate that stephanie was on a drug, for her cancer and they were told that a baby had never been born to a mom on that drug. they were given three choices, stay on the drug and risk losing the baby, terminate the pregnancy or go off the drug and risk losing both mom and baby. he has a pitiful seven ago that he is crazy about. mr. chairman, in this debate we have an even greater choice t
