the debate about health care but kennedy was the youngest man running for president and succeeded dwight time it had its advantages and i think obama used the same idea but it is also what is going on larger in the late fifties there was a sense the world was shrinking with jet travel, rockets, i cbn obliterating each other in 20 minutes and we were a part of the world but today you have capital movements in a flash of a second to change the way we live there is a greater consciousness that the world is shrinking. there was a breakdown of the barriers between public and private spectacle and spectator pushed it to the nth degree with youtube and twitter practically has been obliterated. there is an enchantment looking at madmen there are three movies in production, a lot of folks out that talk about change the year everything change, i did not planets but it is because we realize that right now we're on the verge of some new era of unknown opportunity and peril as jack kennedy put it there is a consciousness a sense we're on the verge we do not know where we're going and we can learn a l

and when you think of a guy like that, you think 0 the nolan ryans, the randy johnson, dwight goodensose type of people, and this kid, from what i've heard, haven't seen him in person, but he is one of the, if notth the best minor league young free agents to ever come out of college. >> one thing, ray knight, you're probably lucky that he wasn't pumping against you. a hundred mile an hour fastball? >> i was a real good fastball hitter, johnny, but i don't think i could handle 102. >> there you see the numbers. 13-1 record. era of 1.32. i've got to tell you, there's a lot of people happy in this city. stan kasten and mike rizzo, the learner family, and so is jim wriggleman. >> i think just like everybody else, really happy about it. everybody has been points tars this date, and just a great step for the organization, and great commitment by the ownership of the ball club to get stephen strasberg signed and just really happy about it, anxious for the next step for him to get on with his career, and do great things that i know are ahead of him. >> one thing we all know, he wants to play

dwight eisenhower warned about the industrial complex.er in vietnam, read the statement by chairman mao about the chinese communist governmentmao once said that the western world people would sell -- for a dollar. i heard people calling in this morning. in the country is dependent -- dependent on the manufacturing capacity in the when we were producing our own products we were the no. 1 producer in the world. last year china -- we gave all of our jobs away to the foreign countries in the bush gave our money away. when our manufacturing base transferred to foreign governments we stopped being the no. 1 producer in the world and have become the biggest debtor mission as a result. when these other leaders were running our government we wouere the number one producers in the world. manufacturing jobs reproduce repeatedly, that is what makes a country great. host: rap that by tying it to the governors' races? guest: one thing he did talk about was jobs. ec the importance of job creation in both races. you see all four major party candidates, w

he's spending more money on transportation than anyone since dwight d.enhower, but does not have his own inspector general watching how the dollars are used. that's this morning in "the new york times" this morning. let's go to our phone calls on clash for clunkers. success, or failure? el paso, good morning to raul. caller: good morning, how are you doing? i was just wondering -- like toward the end instead of toward the beginning. and they don't extend it because people were weren't notified. host: did you take advantage of it, raul? caller: no, i didn't take advantage of it. i mean, they should have let people know -- they did let people know, but not really towards the end. and now it's over. well, the year's not up. i was wondering why they won't extend it for a little longer. host: would it help you if they did extend it? caller: it probably would. host: thanks for your call. republican caller. what do you think? guest: i think we should stop all this foolish and putting down the government. the president. not because he's a black man, we are putti

dwight eisenhower expanded the highway program and accelerated other types of spending to try to counter act the 1958 recession. gerald ford in 1975 and george w. bush used tax cuts to help end recessions. there's also ample evidence that fiscal stimulus works. many studies has been done to help measure the effects. now this sense that fiscal stimulus is the obvious step to take is born out by the actions of other countries. so this figure shows the size of fiscal expansions in a number of countries in 2009. virtually what you see from this is that virtually every country has enacted fiscal expansion during the current crisis. they've done so because it works. with the fiscal stimulus that that they helped to create was not only bold but well-conceived. the president aimed for a package that was large and got good employment bang for the fiscal buck. it was designed to provide lift for two years because we knew the economy was going to face an extended period of weakness. at a a time when it was already large, we could not create jobs by digging ditches. they had to satisfy genuine needs

host: indianapolis -- dwight, independent. are you there? you're on the air. caller: two questions.e were promised high speed rail from chicago to cincinnati, how is that working? and the new state budget the past, the cut like $12 million for the city schools, anything we are going to do about that? that is it. guest: i am not sure about the chicago cincinnati convention on a high-speed rail -- i am not sure when you said you were promised that, where it came from. we in indianapolis are conducting a study in the city by itself to see what the effect of light rail could do for the city. we don't have that here yet. we are looking at the possibility of that. ip schools is one of the 11 school systems here in the city. even though it was cut some much because of declining enrollment -- and that is a state policy -- there is a mechanism in there so they don't lose a lot of money. it is on a declining scale. but at the same time, sometimes their enrollment declines on a year to year basis. so even though they are down a little bit this year, they are sterile per pupil well above -- sti

dwight ellerbee atlas ska regional and i went to him and he said yes, we can fix that, remove the skin on the side and i went in for the operation and he did 21 things wrong to me. i tried to get the insurance, the social security insurance to not pay him. they paid him, and then i went to 34 attorneys and they will not go against a doctor, even outside, i went to the lower 48 to get some doctors to pass judgment on the operation, and they called the doctor up here, and said, sorry, they couldn't help me. now, what we have here in alaska is that they are working, the insurance companies, the medical malpractice is there is no help for people who have medical malpractice. as far as the v.a. is concerned, i have a friend who is in the air force overseas and held prisoner, and she was being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder, and the v.a. here was treating her. then they stopped, and said she had to pay full payment because it was her choice. >> on the issue of tort reform, i think there are many who are concerned that if we were to institute some level of tort reform, the doctors

both parties, franklin roosevelt increase public-works spending greatly as part of the new deal, dwighteisenhower expanded the interstate highway program and accelerated other types of spending to try to counteract the 1958 recession, gerald ford in 1975 and george w. bush in 2001 used tax cuts to help end recessions. there is also ample evidence that fiscal stimulus works. many studies have been done over the years to help measure the effects of stimulus, the show strong in putts -- impacts to tax cuts and changes to government spending. the fiscal stimulus is the obvious step to take when the economy is in decline and conventional monetary policy has been exhausted, is borne out by the actions of other countries. this figure shows the size of fiscal expansion in a number of countries in 2009. what you see is virtually every country has fiscal expansion during the current crisis. they have done so because it works. the fiscal stimulus at the administration works with congress, not only bold but well conceived. the president aimed for a package that was large and got good employment ban

. >> when you talk about kansas president you're talking about dwight eisenhower from my home town, buting member of the united states congress saying that the president of the united states was born in kansas and kenya as well. also, just the part where she said that they are trying to see that the first president who looks like me fails. is she injecting race into that? what is that all about? >> i don't know if you saw the clinton years or the bush years because i don't think race had anything to do with it, it was ideology that had president bush with a lot of fervent foes, as well as people who want today see bill clinton be unsuccessful as president, i don't think that had to do with the color of their skin. >> that wasn't the only serious thing she said. she was talking about health care plan and held up cuba as a shining example of universal health care. they have universal health care, that part is true of course, she didn't mention that the doctors there are also paid $15 a month and don't have access to necessary drugs. >> that's the small print, aly. >> excuse me. let's hear

with the end of world war ii, united nations, and / forward 80 years almost 1953, january 20 and dwightsenhower is inaugurated as president and just as he was back in the summer of 1922 harry truman is unemployed after the swearing in the secret service drove them to union station and said goodbye and they rode a train back to independence. i guess they rode their train to kansas city -- kansas city. harry did not know to do with himself there is a river he would run from the missouri senate or a governor or even he would run for president in 1956 he was the last president eligible to serve more than two terms for colleges occurs to me that republicans pass back why did they grandfather him and? but none of these ideas are far-fetched because the fact is harry truman had to do something. he needed and come but he did not have been the specialized training. he had nothing more than a high-school diploma the last president without a post secondary degree his only income was army pension of $111 after taxes. that was for his service in world war i as an officer in the army he did not rec
