you know that the human services agency is comprised of two city departments, department of human services and department of agingnd adult services. the yellow slice there represents the admin support for both departments. so basically they support -- the department of human services and department of aging under the rubric of the human services agency. you can see roughly the breakdown, almost two-thirds of funding is for department of human services, a quarter for aging and adult services, and then under 15% for program support which is really another name for administration. so we contract support, i.t., personnel, and the like. so sort of a key thing to keep in mind about the human services agency's budget is we are largely funded by federal and state sources. roughly a third federal, a third state, and a third county general fund. it's not exact. it fluctuates from year to year but that's sort of roughly how it plays out. and then, furthers, a lot of what is funded are entitlements or aid. so it's important to know that because those aren't funds that we have any discretion over. these are entitlements to fa

i'm a member of the advisory council to the department of aging. nd every year, i come up here about cuts, and it's such a joy to be here and to be able to talk about what the needs of the people are, and what some of the things we think are coming in the future. i want to mention three things. one is the difference between -- one difference between calworks and medi-cal. cal fresh -- not calworks, cal fresh, has no asset limit. and this means that people will be able to apply, regardless of whether they have excess money in the bank or not. medi-cal will still, unless the state changes it, have an asset limit of $2,000 for one person, and $3,000 for a couple. and that's going to make it harder to ever get everything going easily back and forth. but one of the things that we found, anne hinton held a hearing in hunters point and one of the things we found was that people were so concerned about having to pay a share of costs for their medi-cal, and for the in-home supportive services, ihss. a lot of people have shared costs of $500. and they ask tha

system and by the federal reserve i'd like to end the monopoly on our agriculture system by the department of ag so the real monopoly is where the government operates because those are monopoly on force and there are no other choices but the free market is not a monopoly because you have choices and can take your money and move it somewhere else not so with the i.r.s. and scott do you have anything to add what would an anarchist society do with the banking system that we see right now i don't want a kinder gentler capitalism i don't want to kind. government i don't want either of them we don't need either of them the multinational corporations or aberration what a small business and they should not even exist there is always there is concentrated wealth no one can make a decision about that when there is no there's no free economies and no free market that's all that's a pipe dream stuff and so you know what i'm talking about localized economies bringing it back where people can be face to face make decisions where people in bio regions can make decisions about the resources you know there are t

and with united states department of ag facilitating the process, it will be transparent, i believe. they understand ag, the need behind it, and keep in mind, i would like to let mr. sessions know, senator sessions no, we do have employers who open up and they have to through the h2a program higher and he willing, able, qualified individual. anybody is mollified because in state of vermont we can't require experience. the department of labor says we can't require experience. we have orchards -- i invite you to come visit them in august -- they have everyone who applies start picking apple and they pick on trellis trees, the easiest. they do not have to climb a 20- foot ladder. one orchard in cornwall, vermont, they hired eight pickers, u.s., everybody who showed up and by week 2 there was one left and the one asked if he could work in a packing house. this orchard needs a 55 seasonal workers. when i say americans won't do the job, it is true. they are not doing the job. factors that all go into that. >> trust me, i know that orchard. she has stated it very, very accurately. cornyb --

can someone explain why it's important to have the ag department and a guestworker program instead of the labor department? >> i will try that as well. let me just say i think a couple of different ways to answer that. certainly there's a structure rd in place for not only the state level usda offices but we all know there is a virtual usda presence in every county in america and certainly every major agricultural county. these are all producers albert that deal with quite often and they are quite familiar. there are people in those offices were not only helping the producers but helping them navigate through this process. we believe they will be quick to use the local system as well established out there in america today. >> thank you. ms. eastman i thought one of the most important parts of her testimony was when he talked about the indirect benefits really of the guest workers and in fact we have some kind of status. sometimes they use him here and sometimes they ship them back whether it's motorcycles washing machines you name it. you also mentioned a positive impact for rural are
