how could they do what they do when we can't do what we are supposed to do? how do you cut a poll grant? forgive me and allow me an indulgence. 75,000 americans got engineering degrees. 300,000 indians. six hundred thousand chinese people. they are doing what they are supposed to do. reggie bailey, were you mit? what are we supposed to do? what are we supposed to do? i am going to be quiet. >> let me follow up because it is the collective wisdom that it is president obama has offered what the new york times has called an overly generous package of cuts in social programs. what do we say about that? of course the republicans walked away once again. >> holy water. holy water. you know what? let's take our time and talk about the energy we have. i can fix these people. they are not fixable but here is what i want black people to understand. you know it from your ancestors story. no matter who we are or how we are we have triumphed even in the middle of nonsense. let's continue the energy of triumph. the reason i wrote surviving and thriving is because i wanted p

do you see of a form? -- do you have a form? >> it shows how much time they spent discussing and whether or not they made a referral, and with 300 pure supporters -- peer supporters, but for me, sitting in the car 10 hours with your partner, if you are venting about your divorce or your issue with your elderly parents that may be no, been not been taking it out on the street or not abusing verbally the public, so therefore, you have a place to do it with people who are trained to listen, and i think showing that there are that many contacts, people are utilizing peers over and over, so that tells me it works. they're in a locker room talking about whatever is going on before they hit the streets, and it is diffused, dissipating some of that stress, and that is one of the best ways to tell, other than keeping the statistics -- we do keep that in terms of how many officers are involved in incidents. some of what happened in the incident and what can we do better at the incident, whether or not we have done a follow-up debriefing,

there are some people that do do that. most do not. let's not go through the list of the people that do. with our union did was that we actions been some time saying how do we do this right? we saw that you cannot do this. we used to do finger-pointing. we stopped that. the started doing let's figure out what is the right way to do this. we know that confidence matters. any schoolteacher you talk to will tell you that they want teachers teaching side by side. loved kids. it is the peer review process. we are looking at the valuation. they do not actually a lying to this. we need to have valuations that measures what teachers are doing in the classroom and how they engage and whether or not kids have learned. we have tried to come up with a free market that debdoes that. that includes tax showers. there are about 100 districts that are using this. it is very different. it is not simply about sorting. it is something that was done with teachers and not to teachers. >> it does not just sort of support it. there have been some that did not

do you have a comment? >> our designated representative who was supposed to be here this morning unexpectedly fell ill. i cannot present the status of the mou, but we can do so at the next meeting. commissioner walker: ok. the purpose here is to make sure we have a solid partnership and are working together. it is due to hear, -- good to hear, once we get a hold of a complaint we are working in a way that works with a housing authority. i just want to make sure our contractors are given the same courtesy in working with the housing authority on habitability issues. commissioner mar: it seems like when the complaints are issued, problems are getting resolved in a fairly timely manner. the other thing i was wondering, if there was a breakdown in more problems and complaints from specific projects? there are a lot of different housing projects. maybe some of them are older, others that are more problematic. do you have a break down about that? >> with respect to the fact that the housing authority has 6000 or

so i do that. i remember doing the audition for snl -- >> did you do your de niro? one of my favorites. >> i did not do the de niro. >> de niro is fantastic. >> excuse me? nope. okay. okay. yep. nope. okay. he's my first guest on our show. >> you see that as your dark street because you're known he's renowned to be this terrible guest. i would love to have him on because i love de niro. when you watch him, it's torture for everybody when he's doing interviews. >> he doesn't like to talk. >> so you choose the guy when you get your massive gig for your first show and it's robert de niro. why would you do that? >> when you start a show, publicists, they control the actors, what publicity they do. so publicists basically run actors' lives and what they do in a weird way. so when you go out to publicists when you're first starting out, publicists are afraid of you. they're like, this show is going to probably flop. i don't want my client near a flop, i don't want my client to go on a sinking ship. so you have to call in friends and favors, for the first week at least. so

they do not. if you look at the numbers, the latest numbers or even look at the report on stateofthemedia.org, you will see that well over 60% of americans will cite television as their primary source of news. also, more and more americans are spending more time in tr

we do not expect what you do not inspect. and if you don't put into place policies that encourage -- i am not saying being a whistle- blower, but encourage proper at 6, and i think -- proper ethics, and i think greg suhr stated very properly its starts in the police academy. u.s. no other position probably in the united states -- certainly not for some of our elected officials. yet no one who gets more scrutiny and more background checks and psychological checks and an 18-month probationary period. we as law-enforcement administrators hope that those kinds of people who do not meet on moral and ethical standard, we hope they do not pass or get through. sometimes they do. i find it interesting that this is the -- it has been 20 years, 15 months, and two days since the rodney king incident in los angeles. when i watch that incident. -- when i watched that incident, it gave me shivers. what bothered me -- it was not only the people hitting rodney king -- but it was the other 19, 20 officers who stood around and did nothing. and

from doing what it is intended to do. that is protect the rights of working people in this country. we are all working men and why men. i think they have done a good job. -- we are all working men and women. i think they have done a good job. we know the intentions of the republican party. if you only have two people on the boards, the supreme court has said they cannot make a decision even if they both agree on that decision. we will do everything we can to prevent that from happening. i think president obama and the secretary are both committed to making sure that the rights of workers are protected and we have a board that can function. and remain independent, as it was intended. >> thank you. >> i know you just came from the white house. do you feel that the president has made good on the campaign promises that he made in 2008 to organized labor? will they be able to support him next year? >> to the extent that he has been able to, it has not been a one-way street or a walk in the park. i think he has delivered on som

i do not have a mortgage, but i know my neighbors do. you would lower their mortgage costs by just eliminating the property tax. if your response, i would love to hear it. a really do believe that would help. guest: i do not disagree that reducing property taxes or eliminating them would be a big help. we reduced pre-tax is this year by $210 million. -- property taxes were reduced this year by $210 million. but reducing property taxes, making sure money is not wasting, would have a positive impact. people want to move here. keeping property taxes as low and fair as possible has a big impact. i think we're probably the only state this year that walked on the big deficit, balanced the budget, created a surplus, and reduced taxes. i agree reducing taxes and fees as much as we can would be a big boon. host: we're talking with florida governor rick scott. there are 60 republican governors in their first term. six freshman democratic government -- governors and one independent, rhode island. another issue yet received criticism, let me read co

before you start, what do you do? stop, look, listen and think. any time you pull up to an incident or you see something, you take a breath, assess the situation, use all your senses and think about what you are going to do. those are all components of what we call the size-up. there are many components to size up. what's one of the components to size up? gathering facts. you want to assess the type of damage there is. what kind of situation is it? what is the issue? is it a medical problem? if it's a medical, is it a big hurt or a little hurt? is it a rescue situation and if it's a fire, do you have the resources to control or extinguish that fire? how about your situation, do you have all your people? do you have all the resources that you need? have you collected all the material that you need if you are going to start doing a lifting exercise because someone is trapped? because you never start a rescue, you never start a lifting exercise, never start anything, unless you know you are going to be able to finish it, have enough of the resources

mother nature will do what she wants to do. when we do the catastrophic disaster planning geologists tell us off of the organ washington coast is the likelihood of another tsunami and we are at the end of the 3,000 year period where those occur. the end of of 3,000 year period. i don't know if that means five hours or five years or 50 years or 500 years but we are somewhere in that timeframe. there will be a tsunami at some time. maybe not in our lifetimes of washington oregon coast. imagine. take that line in your mind from your home or office and imagine it going through seattle to portland. you think we are ready for that? we are not ready for it. more importantly i don't think citizens are ready. if all of you were to leave today my hope would be if something bad happened in your neighborhood or your business or what ever that you wouldn't be shellshocked. that you wouldn't stand around with a dumb look on your face, how did that happen? that you would have been cognizant of the fact that something could have happened that

i was like do you know, why do i have to deal. all of a sudden just this pop. >> charlie: you hear it. >> i heard it. now my doctor says you didn't hear anything. i'm telling you i heard it. it started back here, it came forward and within -- >> charlie: you could feel it coming forward. >> like a glass of water tipping forward. within five or ten seconds, that quickly i was experiencing the worse pain of my life. >> charlie: we're in the back of an escalator. and what is your instinct. >> well, i first think something is very wrong. it's a very strange thing to have your brain trying to diagnose what's wrong with itself. but i had been in local news. we've all done the stroke awareness pieces. i said okay, i can see. i said there's a lot of traffic to the driver, okay i can talk. and i know where i am but i started to get nauseous, stiff neck. it was very scary. i knew something was really wrong in my head and i had no idea what it was. i thought maybe i was having a stroke but none of the symptoms. i called my dad who is a docto

what do you do on that? >> for all public contracts, public agencies need to see that there contractors have bonding in order for them to demonstrate they can complete the contract. sba provides an insured bond guarantee to those who do bonding to small businesses on public contracts. so there is an sba program on a maturity bonding, similar to what we do. it is a guarantee to be assured the in the event of a default, that is a guarantee. so there is a charity bond guarantee, structured differently than the sba guaranteed loan program. >> i am a big fan of marketing. let us know if you have a small business in there that we can patronize. thank you. -- in that area that we can patronize. >> i have a company here in san francisco. like all small businesses, working for the city of san francisco is difficult. cash flow is a problem. invoices' get paid anywhere from 60 to 120 days. being cash for, i do not know how that would help me qualify for a loan, but it is a problem. so my question is, where do you go, i

>> know, we do not design a system -- no, we do not design a system. every system is different as far as the gallon that what they put in their backyards and the location. we do not have a guideline as to how would is supposed to look. their own design is their own design. >> does the department had a list of people? >> not as far as i know. there are some different groups out there that do designs for these systems that do installations and to -- and do the design for the systems. your hiring one of those contractors, they should be able to do both. >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on item number five? seeing none, and no. 68, an update on finances. >> this is a preliminary report on their year-end. they don't actually close the books until october or november, but the entries are still going into the system through the end of august. we are still missing a lot of ã9qj? arçj÷ side. the revenues are pretty much in. we are looking at a year-end balance in revenues of almost $5.3 million. most of that is either on the powers board for the ter

how do they... what signs do they need to look for? that is a really good question, and i think all of the parents who are out there viewing this program are wondering, "what can i do to increase the likelihood that my kids don't end up with problems that lead to suicide, depression, or substance use?" i think the most important thing, first of all, is to just be a really good parent and listen. and then, secondly, educate yourself and learn about these things, learn about community resources and work together with other parents, particularly in your schools and your communities, to make sure that all of your kids together are getting what they need to grow up to be healthy and avoid problem behaviors. and when things do surface, i think it is really important for parents not to necessarily blame themselves, but definitely proactively get the kind of support they need, both for themselves and their children, to increase the likelihood that little problems won't turn into great big problems. yes. and fran, what do we tell parents in tho

how do we establish -- how do we know -- how to newspapers establish credibility? i saw this news reporter who put a piece on youtube about gavin newsom just walking away. so how did these organizations establish credibility? how are people able to see the problems with bias that will never come up? there is also a problem with advertisers, backers. a millionaire putting $500,000 or $1 million into a newspaper, and he will expect something in return. he may not want his coverage to be negative. so there are all these things. i wondered if anybody had any general comments about those. >> that is a really difficult problem. if we think about the way we understand journalism today, it really is an historical aberration. that is not cutting back. we had objective journalism, which created shared narratives, but the truth is what we only saw was the narrative from a particular perspective. now, we have chaos. i'm not saying that is not a problem, but on the other hand, we need to think about the fact that we have a lot more voices and a lot more information, and we need

you typically do that? >> in the next few months you are due one from me. started in november of 2007, seems that within about a year, you reviewed my performance. so you have reviewed my performance twice as a commission. >> well, for consistency, why doesn't the commission decide what month each year, what week, whether it's the second weekend

it seems the easiest thing to do would do -- to do the big blockbusters. >> it is something that looks like that from the outside than it actually is. with the reduction of oscillates from all studios, movies are harder and harder to get made every year. they are less and less prominent. especially parts for me. you could sit back and wait for somebody to hand you something. those things happen every once in a while. but when you see a movie like this that this special and interesting, this had to come from outside. you have to get behind a project like that to make happen. tavis: that is a loaded statement, parts for me. unpack that. >> when there are less parts in general, there are less parts for people who gets less parts anyway. [laughter] it is less sales, less roles. you have to hustle. it is a grind. tavis: at this point, are you looking for high-quality material? there is a comedic elements to it. are you in that vein? or it turns out that the things we're talking about, you can do comedy as well? >> i have 0 is done both. it is just the dramatic roles have made more noise and

we have to do this. why don't we take what we're doing and expand what we're doing? my next question. what do you plan to do about the accessibility? what can we? >> ultimately. the more and more youth don't have the ability to either call themselves get a job. graduate high school. you got more insecurity with their personal selves. of course. they have already grown up with issues in their family. the ultimate i think is. we have one part to play. we can't play all the parts. as long as we all come together. we can do the big work itself. the ultimate thing is that us coming together is really going to show the difference with the youth we're working. we are able to get the guns off the street. they will be back. not by the choice the youth. >> i would also like to say, mayor newsom has tried to take the approach to enact legislation to out law gun shows. minimize the availability of folks to purchase now firemans. we are limited by state and federal law. when we look at what we can do as a city, we are bound by the state and federal law. we have taken creative app

what do you do? >> boy.ic information officer, i'm going by get here, what i would have to do is i think it would have to inform the judge. >> you go up to the bench and have a conversation with the judge and just said i heard you are friends with that jurist. >> that does not sell like a great conversation. [laughter] maybe i need to alert the judge and i don't need to alert him as to the specifics of who has said something, but maybe i need to alert him to the fact that there is an issue. >> [inaudible] >> i think i would like to know. i happen to think that in the years we have been working with judges that that's an issue that would have been handled with a bailiff or with the jury list. i know in state courts -- i served on a grand jury earlier this year. the judge in the -- the judge to empaneled the jury had access to the names of the jurists before. i don't know whether they struck or not. i'm stepping out of my role here. i would assume that would be something the judge might not recognize until the

my response is, what do you mean do that? well, you do not know how washington works. my response is, yes i do. it doesn't. [applause] work.sn't why do i need to learn what it does not work? you will be sending aid to washington, d.c. to change washington, not become a part of the culture in washington, d.c. [applause] here is how we are going to change it. former senator everett dirksen popularized the statement, when they feel the heat, they will see the light. the heat comes from the people. my job, once president, is to be a president of the people, by the people, and for the people. not for the politicians, not for washington, d.c. that means i am going to listen to you, not listen to the lobbyists, or the establishment. the people in this country are crying out to the top of their voice. we, the people, are still in charge of this country, and we want to take it back. that is what the people are saying. and so when people ask me why i'm running for president, like i said, it is for the children and grandchildren. i will never forget when i look into the face of m

they do not. if you look at the numbers, the latest numbers or even look at the report on stateofthemedia.org, you will see that well over 60% of americans will cite television as their primary source of news. also, more and more americans are spending more time in transit, so they are either in their cars or on public transportation, so they are listening. the role of radio cannot be discounted either. but again, there have been many ways to try to attract young readers. more recently, have you seen the vice guides to everything? it is a cross between ntt -- mtv's "jackass" and "60 minutes," targeted at an 18 to 25 demographic, which a lot of people in this industry are trying to reach. there are a lot of things out there in terms of investigative journalism that are trying to target younger people that are very creative, but just going back to your point about not reading or getting your news online, people are very lazy, you know? a lot of us do not even want to read, do not have time to read.

like to do is make the repairs. there are holes in the deck, as mr. dufty can tell you. there is a ton of personal property all over the decks. when the decks get wet, they have no way to drive because they are completely covered with items of personal property, and all i want to do is fix it. commissioner goh: i have a question. can you talk about a month rent facilities on the first floor unit and whether the denkinger or whenever they are sitting on is part of the nov? -- whether the deck or whenever they are sitting on is part of that? >> we are going to repair in the end, rather than the part of it covered the garbage and try to hide something from him. i have no idea. commissioner goh: not part of the now. no -- v. -- not part of the nov. >> i do not know. the inspector did not approve the workmanship. commissioner goh: thank you. commissioner fung: you of other properties here, br mr.itton? -- here, mr. britton? >> that is not to be discussed here. >> anything else, mr.duffy -- anything else for mr. duffy? ar

i do not know why we do not do it that way. i think it would be a great thing to do. with regard to ron reagan, i love a good, strong liberal, let me tell you. i do not think he wants to run for president, is the answer to your question. i also think that unfortunately, the reality is people come to washington with ideally the best of intentions, and unfortunately, compromise means you do not get everything that you want. even if ron reagan was president, i think you would still see more compromise then you would probably want to see ultimately. >> this time last week, we were talking about the results of the iowa straw poll. michele bachmann won with 28.5% of the vote. ron paul very close behind. then, tim pawlenty, who is no longer in the running, followed by rick santorum, herman cain, rick perry, and so forth. what has been the major significant change in the run for the white house from the republican side between last sunday and today? them to give you a big differences -- one was governor pawlenty dropping out of the race because of his disappointing showing in

you typically do that? >> in the next few months you are due one from me.

you typically do that? >> in the next few months you are due one from me. started in november of 2007, seems that within about a year, you reviewed my performance. so you have reviewed my performance twice as a commission. >> well, for consistency, why doesn't the commission decide what month each year, what week, whether it's the second weekend november, first week of october, whatever, but have a particular -- either week or month that we consistently will do these two reviews. and if there is a change in staffing, that obviously might dictate changing it a bit. we have a new chief this year that's only been on the job for a few months. and as a commission, i think it serves the public well and our jobs well and people that are working hard and doing their jobs well, if we have some consistency and we decide when we're going to do it and go ahead and make sure we perform that responsibility. president mazzucco: if we did, it wouldn't even be on a tier. it would just trigger, so it shouldn't be on a tier.

what do you do then? >> if i may, commissioner, generally, what the department has done is deal with the exigent circumstances to make the building more stable, to deal with the issue but not necessarily restore the whole system. when you get into a boiler system, you may have other issues -- commissioner walker: space heaters, something like that? >> in instances where there was a single source, we may have had an elderly individual or confirmed individual, we have access, and there was sufficient money to stabilize the situation. but when you are dealing with several large building systems, it becomes a much more complicated situation. even when the department had $20 million in its operating fund, they were apprehensive to do that. once you start making the repairs, you inherit the liability and access that goes along with that. it is one thing to barricade a building. it cost about 18 dozen dollars just to have the bureau of rebuilding repair come in, the police was there, the city attorney involved.

to do all of the things that you guys do as small businesses. certainly, we will encourage all of those folks to do that. if it is someone that falls into this category once, again, this is not hard. this is free. this is super simple. i am sure that we can work it out, if it is not a required field, depending on what you are and are not. you can see. cy, how about that thec -- ya, -- cya, how about that? mickey? there is no dumb question. >> [inaudible] >> that is a good question and i do not have a good answer. the fact is that this was the best that we could come up with to figure this process. sure, mickey mouse can sign up and make a big number. we are hopeful that every one, being irresponsible, that that will happen very little, if not ever. it is not a pair of five list and let's do it. debate, let's go. >> [inaudible] >> bright. right. >> [inaudible] >> the point, of course, is i have never said in my mind who is ultimately responsible. guess who it is? you. not the promoter. at the end of the day, stuff goes downhill. it is on you to m

i do think that the question of when we do course of the service -- we do core vs. hurst civic service, that we treat it fairly. you have to listen for a long amount of time, and you could still abstain at the end for boating. all of those same chords that occur in the same area where we do have civic duty are not abandoned. the other civic duty we did the side of society to abandon decades ago was the draft. we did that because we did not think coercion was compatible with our principal government. i think the argument to move in a society where you will be forced to be free even if you do not are find your $20, $50 and can test your right. restricting your ability not only to not speak, but not speaking if you wish to do so. we should be able to do that in the voting booth because we do not want to vote for people when they put twiddled the and twiddled gum up there. to go it 80% turnout, 50% usually in presidential election, one-third of midterm elections, 25% of local elections, what would define something that is not a democracy. what it 2% to 4 percent voted?

we do need to do something about that. streamlining the permit process and reaching out to our small businesses and doing all that we can to demystify the red tape that city hall often places on this. >> are there any out which activities in your district better working well? >> i was with the west portal merchants yesterday morning. i think it is my job to be as responsive to the businesses in the district as it is to be to the constituents. i am the face of city hall. i need to be accessible, open, and responsive. i can help clear up a lot of the red tape for them. >> is there anything particularly special about serving in the district where you grew up that informs some of the things you take on us supervisor? >> it is very special. one example i like to cite is 18th avenue. there is a restaurant called the gold mirror. i went to school with the chef when we were seven. he said that it was too unsafe for the customers. i got a stop sign in there for him. being able to do little things like that for people i grew up with

i do know most of them. i have been in many of these hotels, and most of them are really quite good. there are tenant problems sometimes, but then there are other ones that let the issue go on and on with excuses. a heavier penalty. thank you. >> any additional public comment on this item? >> commissioner walker. >> as a closing comment, i appreciate this. i really hope you can take advantage of the fact that we have these organizations and programs around code enforcement out reach, and may be connected in that with that meeting through our housing division to make this more effective and to see how we can help you more on these kinds of issues, especially staffing issues that will compound. i think it has been the intention to help, and we are ready have something in place with the court enforcement are reach where we can use them -- code enforcement our reach where we can use them instead of our reach. thank you for coming in participating. we look forward to working with you. >> i have my own comments to

doing that is something we have to do. public safety transcends what happens to individual neighborhoods on the ground. you ought to focus on muni. people have to feel safe on our buses. you have to have strategies around that. it is a complicated issue. it is something we have to focus on. if public safety does not work, nothing else works. >> let's talk about transportation and muni. is there enough new need service? supervisor campos: one of the things we did last year, and i was very proud to push for that, was to restore some of the service that -- service cuts that were made. new emitted & service cut across the board -- muni made a 10% service cut across the board, which was very significant. here we are. we are paying more and we are getting less. so we worked with the county transportation authority to help restore at least half of those spots, so about 6% was restored. that is not enough. we need to do more. we need to do more to ensure the system is as reliable as possible. i do think we have to focus on best pr

do i want to keep living here? do i want to make my life here? that is on the minds of many asian families. i went to lunch with some sixth graders from alice fong. i said, do you want to be in the city? yes, i want to be in the city. they were asking me about twitter. they play some of the zynga games. they did not know that their headquarters were here, but they need to know that, growing up. we want the chinese companies to also use san francisco as their headquarters and to continue to be the gateway. people love that about the city. asian families, the matter their income -- they could be a hotel workers, garment workers, for ceo's, they all want -- or ceo's, they all want a quality city. my job is to make sure they trust government, so that when we say something, we do it. what i do not like it, and past relationships with the government, they could not do what they said. that is where the mistrust comes out. that is why i am going around talking to every community possible. if i can take care of it, i will tell them. if i cannot, i will te

that's what i wanted to do. that was the goal in doing it. there are not probably a lot of books, especially by female authors, where their memoirs and the main character is worse than anybody else. i wanted to give that a try as well. i have no regrets about anything that's in there. it's an honest book, reads very well as a piece of time it's a good history, and my narrative work. again, i had to separate myself, the human being, from the character in here. >> sure. >> obviously, i don't put everything -- you can't do that, you know, put everything of yourself because who wants to read that naval gazing; right? we already had eat, pray, love. sorry, i didn't say that. [laughter] there's not a lot of self-reflection in here as i go through the experiences even though i had more as a human being at the time because that's not what you're doing. you're running from bomb to bomb to bomb to cover this stuff, and you don't have time for self-reflection that comes only later. >> right. so one of the things twha we're talking about earlier before t

how could they do what they do when we can't do what we are supposed to do?how do you cut a poll grant? forgive me and allow me an indulgence. 75,000 americans got engineering degrees. 300,000 indians. six hundred thousand chinese people. they are doing what they are supposed to do. reggie bailey, were you mit? what are we supposed to do? what are we supposed to do? i am going to be quiet. >> let me follow up because it is the collective wisdom that it is president obama has offered what the new york times has called an overly generous package of cuts in social programs. what do we say about that? of course the republicans walked away once again. >> holy water. holy water. you know what? let's take our time and talk about the energy we have. i can fix these people. they are not fixable but here is what i want black people to understand. you know it from your ancestors story. no matter who we are or how we are we have triumphed even in the middle of nonsense. let's continue the energy of triumph. the reason i wrote surviving and thriving is because i wanted pe

do that. and i at least would add on a private investment account with an additional payroll tax, an add-on account, not using the existing payroll social security structure, because we don't have adequate retirement savings either on the personal side or in the employer retirement system and we need to find different ways to give people both access to the higher on average rate of return equities with the acknowledgment that there's risk there, we've all seen that, but also to just expand the base of the retirement security. now, things not on that list you'll notice are raising the payroll tax rate or raising the cap and here's why. one possible reason is i'm a crazy reagan republican. i thought i'd preempt that. we in fact do face in my view an incredibly threatening fiscal outlook. every one of our social safety net programs, social security is running red ink, medicare runs $280 billion of red ink a year, medicaid is essentially being paid for on our children now, entirely debt financed.
