one in fife. and that's the lowest level since 1965. i think it also should be mentioned that despite the depth of the recession, and these are the figures that i have, that since the summer of 2008, the tanf caseload has increased only rather lightly from 2008 july through 2011 june, the tanf caseload increased 15%, roughly 250,000 families. and this is at a time, as i said, of exceptionally high unemployment. and we're now trying to gather the figures. we don't have them. as to how many people have exhausted their unemployment insurance. but it's far larger a number than those who have become part of the tanf program. so this i think underlines the absolute importance of continuing the unemployment insurance program in this country. and that's why we very much voted against and criticized the house republican bill on ui which would eliminate 40 weeks of unemployment insurance and would lead to almost three million people losing benefits compared to the extension of the present program, almost three million. so tanf is an important pro

each year we spend $800 million on programs for children zero through fife and six state agencies and dozens of local programs, but they are not coordinate and in many cases they don't measure outcomes and disconnected from the k-12 system, and from health care services. the average cost per child is about $15,000 every two years, but less than the children who needs the services are getting them. and maybe 25% or 30% at best of the at-risk kids will meet the state reading benchmarks out there. there are good programs out, head start being one of them b tow continue to support a system that spends that money and produces these outcomes should not be acceptable here in oregon. in health care we laid the foundation for the state's first health insurance exchange to provide easy to compare information for individuals and small businesses about the affordability and quality of various health insurance products. the ne of this new council is appoint and confirm and meeting on a monthly basis. and with bold reform plans to decrease costs and increase outcomes for oregonians in the health ca

in the past about the need to provide certainty for companies that are investing their capital on a fife-year and a ten-year and a longer horizon, rather than dealing with these temporary tax extensions or provision or extenders that can create a lot of difficulties, not only for the companies' planning, but the accounting side of the equation as well. u.s. is trying to play catch-up now to make sure we've got a tax code that is competitive, along with the fairness and the simplicity component. and it is important to focus on the competitive side and the pro-growth side. sheer my question. i know that the united kingdom in particular is moving forward with tax reform as well. other countries are doing. this they've kind of staggered, kind of moved forward slowly, lowering their tax rates. we better off to sort of rip the band-aid off, do this fast, lay out where we're going to be in the long-term, and, you know, take the pain, if you will, of what might be the effect in the short-term of a year of some of the changes that will be out there? or should we phase it in? should it be gradual as th

all we did was fife the government. we were a little organization that had to spend a lot of our resources to be successful. we did not exhaust the region we did not ask for exactly what happened. when we made our first -- we did not out for exactly what happened. when we made our first arguments, if it is the last day of the supreme court session, it is always the most controversial, so they came back and told us we are going to have our rehearing in september with much broader questions, because we did not to ask the right ones. that is how we interpret that, so we came back on the much bigger ones, which was part of mcconnell decision from 2003, which we were a party to, and also the austin vs. michigan chamber of commerce case, about corporate contributions, and then trying to write to wrong the supreme court felt was on the books, so they asked us to bring these bigger questions, so in september what we had another argument, and in january we had our decision. it was earth shattering. you go to court. you want to b
