they need to make themselves indispensable to the solution to don't go to the corrections union. mafia. you can't reach them. but the police unions we are beginning to reach. the teachers unions have got to understand you cannot keep excusing the ineffectiveness of how you teach in our poor schools. those days are over. we have sued units before. i would sue anyone who is in the way. anybody who's in the wake of kids getting what they need. i was within. i will sue my mother. we sued board members because i was working for the naacp and i sued our board members. you do not get in our way. and yes, i know i sound like kashmir and it does sound overwhelming, but i don't know how to spoonfeed this do. it is overwhelming that we're okay. most of us are still okay. most of us our own -- are on their way to own our home. in my neighborhood people thought that was a game because there was a water grade, there was actually some get high come properly spelled and punctuated, and rebel, properly spelled and punctuated. and the person had pink hearts over the eyes it and my neighbors want to

>> correct, the union sanitary district. supervisor chu: ok. thank you. why don't we open this item up for public comment? are there members of the public that wish to speak on item number two? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor avalos: motion to move forward with recommendations. supervisor chu: that has been seconded and we will do it without objection. >> item three. hearing to include financial of data and information on budget instructions and process for fiscal year 2012 and 2013. supervisor chu: this item as an item that we typically bring forward in order to get a budget of eight for the year. we wanted to make sure that we had the mayor's budget office come forward to talk briefly about budget instructions since we haven't yet heard those instructions. given the department are already submitted those budgets to the mayor's budget office. but we wanted to touch upon the six-month report that would come out and get an update on revenues, states news, changes and deficits, supplementals. we have a number of people presenting today. ka

you do not want to go do the corrections union.wanted to go to building the rehabilitation centers and you wanted to go to rehabilitation services number one. number two, we have got to organize ourselves to demand that the defining of the schools get reversed. and that is going to mean getting to jerry brown. the governor thinks that his budget makes sense. he wants to go out with a legacy like his dad, pat brown presents to the bullet train in a big but like i said come you don't get stupa latrine when you are taking home nursing care way for the elderly. we are balancing this budget on the backs of the poorest of the poor. we are not cutting dmv services for the middle class. we are not increasing the car tax. just bring the car tax back to her was and he won't have to fire nurses for the elderly poor. say no, we need to get organized to be. there groups in sacramento do in lobbying that because they don't have money, are not going to. but i think we could get a municipal, even if you start in pasadena, you could get near bogart

correct? should union prosecutors have gone higher up the command chain? >> this one's kind of tricky because they're just -- i think maybe the union was just trying to put blame on somebody, maybe, and that was the person that the soldiers went to the prisoners and were, like, that's the guy. to go and try jefferson davis for a war crime is just a whole another can of worms, maybe. i don't know. they just decided it was too difficult, maybe. didn't have enough evidence of it, you know. >> yeah. there's a whole host of reasons we'll talk about later in the course of why davis is not tried. because they have -- there's many things they want to try him for, including treason for leading the confederacy. but one of the things they add to this list that they never bring charges against him is what happens to union prisoners? so do you think davis is culpable? >> i think yes and no just because you also had the south getting cut off and having lack of food and everything else for their citizens let alone soldiers, and the prisoners. because their supplies are g

you do not want it to go to the corrections union. want it to go to building the rehabilitation centers and you want it to go to rehabilitation services, number 1. number 2, we have got to organize ourselves to demand that the defunding of the schools get reversed. and that's going to mean getting to jerry brown. the governor thinks that his budget makes sense. he wants to go out with a legacy like his dad, pat brown. so he wants to do the bullet training and he wants to do some big investments but like i said, you don't get to do a bullet train when you're taking home nursing care away from the elderly. we're balancing this budget on the backs of the poorest of the poor. we're not cutting we're not cutting dmv services for the middle class. we're not increasing the car tax. just bring the car tax back to where it was and you won't have to fire nurses for the elderly poor. so, you know, we need to get organized to lobby. there's groups that are lobbying up in washington but because they don't have money they can't do so. even if you s

>> reporter: chuck alexander is vice president of the correctional officers union. he hears from the guards every day. >> routinely get complaints about people being taken out for lansing of a boil, a couple of stitches for a cut, i recently heard a complaint of an inmate on death row that was taken out to participate in sleep apnea treatments. >> reporter: it's true! how do we know? cbs 5 followed this unmarked corrections car with a van of inmates from the prison across the richmond bridge. half hour later the caravan was in the parking lot of doctors medical center in san pablo. through he shackled prisoners lumbered out of the van into the darkness followed by six guards all headed into the sleep clinic. the next morning, before daybreak, we were there as they filed back into the white van to head back to their cells. cbs 5 has learned that last year alone, san quentin sent 17 prisoners including death row inmates to sleep clinics. >> if that's happening, it shouldn't be. >> reporter: clark kelso is the federal receiver hired to fix the prison healthcare system.

if you look at three strike laws in california they were advocating by the correctional union, peoplek in the prison system. when you expand the prison system it creates dmik opportunity. if you look at new york state there are seven neighbored hoods in new york city that sort of, you know, generate the vast majority of prisoners. these prisons are located in rural districts in upstate and those are counted when you can draw the constituency boundaries in terms of increasing -- that's cynical i'm not saying there's a deliberate strategy to empty out new york neighborhoods. but i think that on the other hand if you're looking at a police force, for example, when you're talking about the budget, when you're talking about expanding the resources that you have access to, you know, i think that's why, you have to think about the crowding out effect. how many resources do we have to do other things for this and as kai was suggesting before, when it's federal money for the war on drugs and then you can deploy those resources to buy high-tech goods and then you can use to fight your own battl

the most well-known ones, ccpoa -- but new york, and northeastern state, have very powerful corrections unionsand a lot of them historically have lobbied not just for better benefits of the members -- the members have very hard jobs, it's very difficult work. but they lobbied for things like longer sentences, more tough on crime laws because they result in more jobs. i think that's changing a little bit. as labor issues become less around expanding prisons and more around individual benefits and especially lowering violence in overcrowded facilities. that's a big issue for the labor unions. for some, even more important than trying to expand. a lot of the unions have the sense now that states are really going to take a look at this function and try to reduce costs, try intelligently to reduce the overall size of their systems, but historically there's no question that powerful public employee unions are one of the many -- certainly not the only -- tenantors that prisons have -- factors that prisons have grown. >> host: here's a tweet from don who said -- he weighs in on the situation in michig

there are a lot of very powerful corrections unions and a lot of them have lobbied for, not only betterenefits, but these are very hard jobs and they deserve these benefits for the hard work, they have lobbied for more it tough on crime laws because the result in more jobs. i think that is changing a little bit as the labor issues become less around expanding prisons and more around individual benefit and especially lowering violence in overcrowded facilities. that's a big issue, even more than trying to expand. a lot of these unions have the sense that states will take a look at this function to try and reduce costs and intelligently to reduce the overall size of their systems, but historically there's no question that powerful employee unions are one of the factors about why prisons have brown. -- have grown. host: michael jacobson, here is a tweet. can you talk about county jail versus state prisons? guest: louisiana sounds the highest percentage of their state prisoners to county jail. there are a few problems with that. it is probably cheaper, as the tweeter said, but they are not

correct another wrong. regiments that remained loyal during the union army. 36,000 soldiers who remained in uniform. they didn't commit treason and try to rebel against their union. nobody ever says anything about them. and so what we hope is in this grand march down pennsylvania avenue, elements of those regiments will march with us. so i want all y'all to help us form elements in those states. this was a great period of american history, it made america a good place for everybody to live, and let me just say, congresswoman norton, congresswoman norton, and i sure appreciate this. i was in alabama back in march speaking to a very large integrated group talking about how i thought that the civil rights movement and civil war helped change america and make america a better place including alabama. that's a bit of a stretch, i said you know in alabama, civil rights movement in alabama a better place. if you don't believe me, imagine what would happen if the university of alabama had to get rid of all of the african-american football players. you've got to speak to people where they are. i see some of

you are arguing, what, that this goes beyond unions' right to exercise their political point of view? >>guest: that is correctnk you for having me. but that is exactly right. unions abuse their political spending by using my union dues that i have no desire to go to the political parties or the issues that they are spending their money on and i have to pay those dues as a condition of employment and it about time myself and other union workers who do not agree with our union officials that our union dues stop being used by political purposes and i get more support than not. this are those who descent, and they vocal but i am finding more support out there for my position and my group, i formed a group called union conservatives, and, that, really, there are discenters so there is a growing movement not only of conservatism but democrats are believing the union officials do not have the right to use our union dues for the far left political activity. >> when they come back and say we are doing to for your own good, we are advancing your issues or helping you secure your job and need and without this you are in

john is correct in saying most west point graduates stayed with the union.the northern west point graduates stayed with the union and some, a few of the southern did, but most of the southern-born west point graduates ended up going with their states. now, there are obvious exceptions. john mentioned a couple. and george henry thomas is famous among virginians who stayed with the union. but ko contrast that to annapolis, most of the annapolis southern-born annapolis graduates stayed with the union. of course, i can make comparisons about how loyalty is perceived to the two institutions. >> right, right. >> i won't do that. i'm merely suggest i think service in the overseas united states navy serving under national flag on foreign shores created, i think, a concept that they were serving a national government rather than serving a particular state. that may have had something to do with it. if you're cynical, another explanation may be the southern navy was so small, there were very few jobs for senior naval officers -- >> very few ships i think, too. >> very

i understand we need correction guards but they are the mafia of unions and they will not listen to reason and they actually produce more crime. so i'm not happy with them and they need to understand we are coming for them but we are not going to allow that to go on the ballot. the real initiative is saying there has to be an income tax on the middle class, including me. i will pay more but it has to come from the echelon and it also has to be -- so look for that initiative. i don't know the name of that yet. we are still doing the language and still getting the signatures. there will be some balance, some initiative on the ballot. we may have to do an initiative but i wish we could reform the initiative process so we could get it past. that is also a process that has been bought and is is now in the hands of professional signature collectors and the initiatives are often, you cannot tell what is what. i'm a harvard educated lawyer, and then why do you lawyer and i can't tell you what these initiatives mean. so i know the average voter can't. but we are going to post some concrete things.

these were talking about oh you're right it was a correct because the euro goes a euro project is an incomplete project you cannot have a monetary union without a fiscal you know and along the same lines in the united states and you can have a political union.

end these were talking about if you're rationally correct because the euro goes a euro project is an incomplete project you cannot have a monetary union without a fiscal union and along the same lies in the united states and you can have a political union where you know if the powers that is created the euro zone was germany germany and france in the names of francois mitterrand and also john chancellor kohl knew that the project was incomplete and they expected that those who would fall of them will complete the project but what we instead we saw is the development of tremendous imbalances between the interest of eurozone countries huge is not possible to expect the german who will always have a surplus unless other countries such as greece and portugal have deficits ok and therefore this is how we've created the let me growth pattern the region being given here i mean people i mean we just heard that other countries would follow the it would follow the political union thing but people didn't vote for that i think that inherently undemocratic and that giving people a choice ok i mean. what happens when the new one in this case become

happened which was quite ahead of its time and i think correct he said that if we are ever to fall into the bosom of the i.m.f. and the european union will lose our national sovereignty and this is precisely what has happened greece that is not in control of its fate anymore now from sort of the is a thing of the past until and unless some new government can simply say. i know who the bailout loans that are being on offer to the greek social com right now most germans according to our poll last weekend while gris. gris play of the euro or germany leave the earth where you know is a will not be pull back in just before the industrial revolution and we were asked whether they want the industrial revolution. most of them would have said no that didn't stop the industrial revolution similarly even if all the germans and all the greeks want greece out of the euro and. let me inform you that most greeks would like to get out of the union of those who had enough were being treated like the pariahs of the euro zone. is immaterial this is that car is you should never have entered into neither us nor the germans for that matter but tragically

corrective action. that's just destroyed its credibility in the capital markets. it is a self-inflicted crisis. the european monetary union set out rules that limited deficits to 3% of gdp and debts to 60% of gdp and the markets said this is a fiscal performance guarantee. they thought that how moj niced the credit throughout the union. you saw the interest rates of greece's debt fall from 8% of germanys to less than a quarter of a percent above germany's. but the rules were never enforced. by 2007, you had ten of the -- seven of the original 12 members over the debt limit by 2010, it was ten of the members. what had happened was weak governments had used massive borrowing to offer their citizens a standard of living, their productivity could not deliver. and so now what you have when this crisis started in greece in 2009, greece just denounced our deficits two times is what we had told you a few months ago and the market recognize there was a problem. what should have hand two years ago is greece should have defaulted on the debt and the other countries should have just tightened up their budgets. the fundamental problem

union and then a fiscal disunion. they don't have the same kind of situation we have here. you're correct, also, that there are some countries like greece and others that have very difficult fiscal sustainability issues. they've tried to address those in the near term. i hesitate a bit to advise my colleagues in europe, but i would cite the imf and others that point out that very slow growth or recession makes fiscal improvement more difficult because tax revenues fall and spending automatic rises if there are social safety nets and the like. so it's important to try to figure out what the right balance is there. i want to be very clear. i don't want anyone sbrerpting me as saying anything other than that this congress has a very difficult and important job to address the long-term fiscal sustainability of our federal budget. that's a critical thing. i think that even more aggressive strategies that have been pursued recently are warranted over the longer term. but i also think that that can be done in a way which is persuasive to markets and achieves those objectives. but doesn't quite j
