donna. donna is my oldest sister. my father's name is donald. in those days, you needed to have a son. having a girl was like a consolation prize. the first born was donna. my father said that's great. let's keep trying to get that boy. and in those days, you know, the cinema and movie stars were tyrone power, clark gable. second one, jeanette. he said, okay. got to get that boy. the third one, me, yvonne, i was named after the quintuplets. the first sisters in the world, they were from canada, and the likelihood of having spontaneous quintuplet was one in 65 billion. i was named after yvonne. my father said this is another girl. the third one. i'm going to drown it. that's when i learned how to swim. other than that, my father said we got to try another one. got to get the clark and tyrone. fourth child comes. rita. okay. rita. and the fifth one is linda. so by the time my father was 27, he had five kids. all girls, and no boys. and my mother said, donald, you know, i'm trying. and i'm tired of all of this. five kids, she said the only son that

donna brazil said and what are we voting for? what are we getting out of this current structure that is prevalent in the south? >> that's an interesting question. because, you know, on one hand, i think out it and i say, my god, what -- in south carolina, we didn't have james clyburn, what would we do? we would be lost if we did not have james clyburn. on the other hand, i truly believe that the type of politician that i desire, that i want, especially african-american politian, can and should be able to win the 35% district. i just think they should have that ability in a 35% district go out and reach across lines. >> 35% -- >> african-american district. >> so -- the majority white, but 35%. >> yeah, i mean, i think at is a very winnable district that's very playable. but in south carolina, it's a very interesting dynamic. i mean, it's in your face. i mean, we talk about race. we always talked about race. and in the foreseeable future, we will -- i think the discussion should be about the haves and have nots. because some of my

and it's almost here that deadline is approaching with last-minute tax tips is "money" magazine donnaosato. great to see you. >> good to be here. >> procrastinates have a few extra days. >> yes, if you haven't filed your taxes yet, you have a little more time because there is a holiday in d.c. >> what is the most important last-minute advice for those who have not filed yet? >> i think one othe most important things is to efile. especially if you're getting a refund rather than owing money. that's the fastest way to get your refund. and about 70% of filers did that last year. and if you do that, that paper return takes six weeks to process, but only two weeks if you're doing an efile. >> and it's easy to understand? >> it's simple to do. it's quick. if you do any kind othe software, if you're doing it yourself, it's very fast. i would say another really important thing to remember is the common mistakes people make. and the most common one is math errors, if you can believe that. people transposing numbers, just not doing simple math correctly. and then not signing their return is ver

donna levitt is here. president o'brien: any questions? i do, but i wanted to open the floor first. no? ok. the employee in question, what happens to that money today? >> one of the options that is available is that the office of labor standards enforcement can use those funds for its outreach activities to go to educate the various contractors and subcontractors about the labor enforcement rules and prevailing wages and so forth. perhaps ms. levitt can also address that. >> the changes, after searching for any employees that are due money, if we cannot find them after two years, that money goes to the city for the enforcement of the prevailing wage, and this change changes it from two years to three years, consistent with state law. president o'brien: ok, thank you. no further questions? sorry. commissioner riley? commissioner yee riley: this streamlines the process and also gives the comptroller more flexibility. the administrative law judge and the attorney. but what was it before, before the change? who was the hearing officer? what was the requirement? >> it would depend on the

donna and tim are our guests today. they represent two in a whole bank of really wonderful analysts that we have the pleasure of having on our show. probably about a dozen analysts we have, and so we rotate them through, depending on the specialties that they are looking at in the field of politics, what we want to look at from week to week, and you in connecticut, mary, you called in from connecticut, and other parts of the country, you may not feel that the 2012 caucus race or the campaign is on. it's far too early to talk about it, but we are about nine months away from caucus day, which is february 6 of next year. three months away from the g.o.p. stronghold, i believe, in august. that would be a rough estimate for that. so in iowa, we are on an accelerated pace. our schedule is put forward, tim and donna, about a year in front of everybody else in the country, and that's two sides to it. we get a good dose of it, but by the time the election rolls around, i guess we're pretty sick of it. >> iowa is a great place to

george will, chrystia freeland, ron brownstein and donna brazile.e, you were just talking before we went to a break, how will this change the conversation? it will. the ryan plan. >> paul ryan is eight years younger than the president but vastly more had experienced and conversant with these issues. the republicans are now bound with hoops of steel by this plan by ryan. they really can't avoid it. the president can't avoid engaging it. the president's initial response was that the democrats say this is extreme. this extreme plan by paul ryan envisions over the next decade a 34% increase in federal spending. it envisions adding trillions of dollars to the national debt. that's how slow the glide plan is that he proposes. furthermore, on medicare, medicare is doomed, as we know it. not by mr. ryan, but by mr. arithmetic. it just doesn't work anymore. and, therefore, when he proposes essentially what the bipartisan commission on medicare proposed more than a decade ago, premium support, which is no matter what mr. hollen said a moment ago, essentially

here's donna rosato, senior writer at "money magazine." >> one million dollars? that's the magic number most people aim to hit when they retire. but hitting that mark really isn't that tough, even if you've only got a fraction of it saved right now. here's what to do. time is the most critical factor. it makes sense. the longer you have, the easier it is to save and the less risk you need to take. say you're 45 and you have $250,000 saved. if you want to retire at 62 with $1 million, you've got 17 years. even if you save $15,000 a year, you won't make it to $1 million. but stick it out, work just two more years, and you'll have it! still, you're far better off being a good saver who's a mediocre investor than someone who can knock the socks off the s&p 500 and has little savings. so, how do you sock it away? max out your 401(k), because you put money away pre-tax and most employers match what you save. finally, while bsting your investment returns won't get you to a million as fast as jacking up your savings, it can help. but again, you don't have to be a hot sto
