the how does germainness get to coercion. >> what the connection is between getting you to do a and that money. >> so it fails because it's not germaine, you're saying it would not fail because it was coercive. >> i think they're trying to get at the same thing and i do think it's different here. >> i know it's different here, i'm just trying to understand if you accept the fact or regard it as true that there is a coercion limit or that once the federal government -- once you're taking federal government money, the federal government money can make it back and that doesn't affect the voluntariness of your choice. because it does seem like a serious problem, we're assuming under the spending clause, the federal government cannot do this, under the constitution, it cannot do in. but if it gets the state to agree to it, then it can. and the concern is, if you can say if you don't agree to this, you lose all your money. whether that's really saying the limitation in the constitution is largely meaningless. do you recognize any limitation on that concern? >> i think the court has said that t

jones may be in trouble what is going on. >> yes, we broke the story the other day germaine jones had an issue with his father he came out to see him as american idol he had a whole sob story saying his father abandoned him when he was a kid turns out that wasn't the case we talked to the father he said no way i just had lunch with germaine the other day i never abandoned him we are close that led the producers to look further into his past and they found out he has two arrests last year, and -- for violent crime and so now they are told he is too much of a risk for american idol he will be booted from the show tonight. >> really? okay we will be watching. >> a lot of drama other there. >> it is unfortunate he is such a talented person. >> to make it to top 12 and for this to happen but we will be curious to see what happens will they bring some body back or now be top 11. >> all right. slade thanks so much. >> good to see you thank you. >> thank you guys. >> wow >> i know. >> that is not a good development. >> always some drama but these are real people that come in and have real bag

. >> i would reserve -- how is it germain to today's hearing? >> this addresses this issue. >> we can include it as extraneous material but it was germain to the hearing we had in new york and suggest it be placed in the record for that hearing. >> we now go to the chairman of the subcommittee, mr. patrick mchenry for his opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman and thank you for calling this hearing today. nearly four years ago americans witnessed domestic and global markets deteriorate. resulting in millions of job losses and unprecedented measures by governments and central banks to prop up financial institutions. as the united states economy remains vulnerable in the midst of a very shaky recovery just across the atlantic our european friends fight to fend off a second wave of economic financial turmoil. their lesson is one for the world as well as the united states. in december my subcommittee invited officials from the federal reserve to explain the economic unrest from europe and what actions they would consider in reaction to it and

and he said, and i think it is a jermai germain that it is the entrance of new employees into the market that is decimating the structure of the bottom 99% and that leads to the validity of that. so that leads to the invention of the future that creates jobs. when you think of where the economy is going to go not just for the united states, but for the world over the next generation or two, it is genetics, and robotics and nano technology, and james pinkerton talked about how 80% of the health care costs are tied up in cancer, and diabetes, and alzheimer's. if we had an industrial policy that laser focused resources on those seven areas, all of which represent profound change, profound invention in our society, we would be a jobs machine. so is that type of industrial policy possible in the united states? >> so a couple of things. first of all i want to say on the tax policy point. i don't mean to imply and i was not implying, because i don't agree with the position that our inequality problem is the result of the tax policy. i don't want anybody to take away that impression. the 6 milli
