they are trapped in this hammock here. -- >> big government has seduced them into laziness. >> big government is not only evil insofar as they'll show up and make me pay to have my cattle eat on public land but they will also -- they will also sort of seduce a certain segment of the population and put them into a hammock and control them in that way. and so i think, you know, these are two sides of the same coin as far as i can -- >> so here's the racial breakdown on attitudes toward government. government -- the percentage of americans who think government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem. 42% of white people think that. but a lot of other demographic groups that's just not a very prevalent opinion. 17% of black people, 16% of asians. 25% of hispanics. that's where the race and ideological rubber hit the road. the question is is that accidental or not? >> well, you're talking about people who have been privileged in this country. >> yes. >> white people have been privileged in this country si

and happy living in the hammock as opposed to a safety net as something that needs to be repaired and something that people need in moments of high stress in their family lives and something that they want to leave as soon as humanly possible, the moment they get the new job or get into school that allows them to get a better job and get them out of -- get them out of the safety net and into, back into the middle class, this idea that people in this country who are willingly living off public because they want to and like it that way is devisive. >> that is why the "new york times" talked about mr. ryan having dangerous ideas and trying to become chairman of ways and means committee. can you imagine someone with this idea over the tax code and safety net? this is frightening to many people who want to see this kind of politics continue to be marginalized in this country. >> i'll tell you what, the only takers in this country are employers who pay below the minimum wage, below the poverty line and then require that their employees get food stamps and low income heating assistance and t

[laughter] and found it very desirable. >> if i have time for one question, there's obviously a huge debate amongst people what he really had done all of this. you talk about it in the book. the question is whether, you know, did he look a slavery in terms of the economics, as a trade, or mobile loose fish they worried basically says, you know, who is not a slave? no, this kind of larger, existential view of slavery for and has the absence of freedom and the justification of slavery, but then they're obviously clear things refills on the contrary, bondage is bondage. and for him it's a defining aspect, whether it's his characters to pop up throughout. have you read that in the end? word you see him coming out? >> well, again, his engagement with slavery is often on -- at the level where it's about, you know, this kind of emotional bondage or psychological bondage , philosophical blindness. and he definitely -- he w

sometimes in different cultures rattling over cobbled pavements, sometimes swaying the hammock as heated a letter. a bookseller in lima had been surprised at the abundance and variety of works he selected from a general catalog that listed everything from greek .hilosophers in his youth, he read the romantics under the influence of his tutor, and continued to devour them as if you are reading himself and his own idealistic intense temperament. they were impassioned readings that marked him for the rest of his life will stop in the end, he read everything that came his way and did not have a favorite author, but rather any who had been favorites at different times. the bookcases in the very stones he lived and were always crammed full in the bedrooms in the hallways were turned into narrow passes between steep cliffs of books and mountains of aaron documents that proliferated as he passed and pursued him without mercy in their quest for archival peace. he never was able to read all the books he owned. when he moved to another city, he left them in the care of his most trustworthy frie

they will be playing around in hammock, and therefore, the way to really help people is take away food nutrition programs for kids. let's take away the school lunch programs. that will help provide people with more dignity according to this twisted philosophy. they've been talking about addressing this issue. now we see that's all it's been is talk. in fact their budget would be very, very harmful. if you're a senior, this reopens the prescription drug donut hole. you'll have to save thousands of dollars more in the coming years to pay for your prescription drugs. they keep in place what's called the medicare sequester. really, senior, kids, the vast middle class, as well as poor americans who are struggling, all of them get hit and again all to provide another round of tax g cuts, a tax cut to folks at the very top. it clearly is something that the company needs to focus on. this is a reflection where republicans, at least in the house, tea party folks, where they like to take the country. it's a recipe for america's economic decline. if you're china or another economic competitor. yo

i obviously didn't get a chance to review personally secretary hammock's comments, but let me tell you the army's view. having gone through three rounds as a member of congress, i understand how difficult they are. i also understand that the way in which we need to pursue that and the way in which we realize the most savings is working with congress, particularly through a base closure process that is endorsed in law. you have, this congress has provide ed us certain flexibilities to, short of a brack, make decisions on excess facility and excess structure shedding. and we'll certainly look at the authorities that you have provided, the congress has provided. but in terms of an actual base closure round, certainly my view, my position that will only occur should this congress give us the authority to do that. >> thank you. i very much appreciate that response, and i know we're awaiting some information about the european infrastructure and what can be done there. so i look forward to receiving that. but i very much appreciate your answer. thank you. >> thank you very much. senator shah

but the hammock of government dependency is the same argument being used in the conservative movementay. >> right, inner city culture. paul ryan's ideas about that. these are old ideas, alex. and particularly, when cliven bundy says i don't recognize that the united states government exists, he said that. you know, that's time for people like sean hannity and senator dean heller of nevada to say maybe i should back away from this guy. because he's probably a little bit unhinged and dangerous. but he's are old ideas. and even the notion that black people had it better under slavery because they have their chickens enwhatever insanity he said. they didn't have their children because they were sold out from under them. let's forget about that. these ideas are handed down time and time again. and then conservatives see them expressed a little bit crudely in language that they don't necessarily approve of. and they scatter. but as ruk perry is showing us, and as greg abbott is showing us they're almost addicted to the poison of anti-rhetoric government and to the poison of fear mongering a

they're falling asleep in the hammock of government assistance. and it's their fault.u're suffering, it's on you. and people are -- but i did everything right. i played by all the rules. i went to college, worked for 20 years and i did a great job and then i got laid off so that my company's stock price would go up for two days. and now i've been unemployed for two years. and that's my fault? it doesn't make sense to people and it strikes them as fundamentally cruel and unjust. you have pikety come along and say, no, actually, capitalism, unless it is -- unless there's a dramatic intervention done, will consistently drive wealth towards the rich. and the rich will keep getting richer. everyone else will keep falling further and further behind. and that makes much more sense to people's lived experiences than paul ryan's story does. >> anna, you know, perhaps even more distressing is the fact that the machine that we put in place, which is a representative democracy, is increasingly nonfunctioning and we're outsourcing the big decisions to places like the judicial branc

if you say as paul ryan has, for instance, the problem is the safety net has turned into a hammock.uote, unquote, paul ryan. what is he saying? what is he saying? what he is saying is that lazy, presumably minorities, are taking -- are takers from the federal government. just like the 47% comments you heard from mitt romney. # are romney and ryan racist? no. but there was a subtext there that can be interpreted as making a racial appeal. what somebody as crudely racist as bundy does is strips the veneer and they are using code words to say the same thing, to make the same points. >> there's irony imbedded in all the comments. bundy is making them in front of a federally funded overpass that i'm sure he uses to transport things. as you pointed out, congressman, he is making them under the protections of the first amendment. let's get to the underlying debate he triggered and the individuals on the hill launched on to. the underlying fight is whether there should be state control. he isn't wrong in pointing out there is a lot of government interference. take a look at this map, which

we don't want to turn this safety net into a hammock that lulls able-bodied people to complacency. >> to fish, he can feed himself for a life. don't simply feed fish. >> we're getting more and more takers than makers in america. >> i mean, is that the tone he's talking about that we need to correct? >> well, we absolutely need to change that tone specifically, and if we'd had more time, believe me, a number of us would have asked him about those very specific quotes, and i think if he is going to delve into this issue, it provides an opportunity for us to lift a lot of the issues that happen around the country in terms of people really understanding the barriers that people have in society and the policies that contribute to poverty. so, if you want to get people off of food stamps, if you want to reduce poverty, i got a solution for you, raise the minimum wage. it's not rocket science. there's a jobs program that the president put forward a couple of years ago, that's a great opportunity. you know, putting people back to work, that's the way you lift people out of poverty. >> congres

what i'm against is the hammock. nancy pelosi said if you give the power back we are going to drain. and instead she built a hot tub. i don't think the government is the first resource. you take a look at the recession, what was the primary reason for the recession. the government was spending too much and allowed the companies like gm and others because of the union pressure to ratchet up the benefits and entitlements if they had no hope of paying because the union pressure strikes and so when you got to the point where gm had an example you could no longer afford based on how many cars they were selling to pay off the benefits the crisis ensued. never come to the point you tell people we can't do this anymore. it's like the college student and he or she is on a budget and they blow it and why of letting the first weekend of fraternity parties and called mom and dad with a hangover on monday and say i'm all out of money, spend more. but you are in bulgin are into e behavior that isn't in their best interest and that

they kind of look like a hammock here. just isn't much left except for some walls on this building here. investigators told us they haven't been able to get a look inside because of the possibility that things could collapse on them. here's a look from our cameras this morning. the roof is gone but damaged beams and a lot of debris and somebody could easily get hurt going inside of there after that massive five-alarm fire that broke out here in the abandoned building on sunday but one man tells us at the prime of that fire, there were 14 people living inside the building. at one point about 42 people were coming and going living here. he says at the time of that fire, though, everyone made it out okay. but investigators say they really haven't been able to verify that. >> and we'll also get our task force out here and cadaver dogs to make sure there is no one left inside the building. >> the homeless advocates say they're really not surprised that the building had so many people living in it at the time of the fire. that h

said such draconian cuts are necessary because, quote, we don't want to turn the safety net into a hammock that allows abled body people into complacency, end quote. if that's his goal, he and his colleagues have written a budget that badly misses the mark. it is not found in the homes of working families but own the beaches of the cayman islands, those that build their own hammock out of the social net that used to support the largest middle class on earth that is fast disappearing. for more than three decades, the wealthy and the powerful have used money and influence to secure tax cuts to deregulate industries and to pass free trade deals that put corporate profits before america's jobs. in so doing they have redirected revenue away from the federal government and made it virtually impossible to fund the programs that made our nation the envy of the world. with the wealthy and powerful exempted from paying their fair share, our nation puts tens of billions of dollars on two wars on the nation's credit card and fail to invest in maintaining our roads and modernizing our airports, buildin

long-term unemployment assistance, but it also goes to the core of this republican notion of the hammock of government dependency and failed social welfare programs. there is an ideological sort of i guess we could call steel rod that undergirds the inaction in congress, which makes me think that we are as far apart as we have been on economic policy to deal with joblessness. it really goes to the core of each party at this point. >> absolutely. i think annie put it really well, i think. that republicans if you ask them will say, it's time for the government to get out of the way would essentially i think be the answer on these long term unemployed insurance benefits extension. because they say there's no proof of fact that it does in fact help people go and get jobs. this isn't necessary -- it's the government's role to play in a crisis situation. we are no longer in a crisis. well, that goes right back to the sort of fundamental difference between the two parties, alex, of what role government should play. republicans generally think government should be smaller and play less of a role

. >> you had paul ryan say we don't want the social safety net to become a hammock.ea that public benefits are being used by people who are not working, who are just guzzling the resources of the system. in fact, it is impossible to feed your family on the wages of a walmart or fast food employee. these are necessary public benefits, particularly when the minimum wage is so low and when the benefits are so hard to come by. especially if you live in a state where that has not expanded medicaid. you have an entire panoply of ways in which the working poor -- they say they want to encourage a culture of work. working poor is being punished. >> goldie, that really struck me about this study, also, is that we are talking about working people. to have it not be such an abstract concept but to really think about what walmart work doers in terms of their daily lives and their work. i want to read what the walmart folks said in response. they said more than 99% of our associates earn above minimum wage. in fact, the average hourly wage for our associates, both full and part-t

i'm against a hammock. nancy pelosi said you give the democrats the power again we're going to drain the swamp. they got the power back and instead she built a hot tub. i just don't think government is the fir resource. you take a look at the recession. what was the primary reason for the recession? government was spending too much. it allowed big companies like gm and others, because of the union pressure, to ranch -- ratchet up the benefits and entitlements they had no hope of paying because of the union pressure and strikes and you got to the opinion that gm, one example, could no longer for a, based on how many cars they were selling to pay out the benefits the crisis ensued. the same with the treasury. print more money, aren't more money, never come to the point where you say, we can't do this anymore. it's like the college student who is on the budget and they blow it in a wild living in the first weekend, and call mom and dad with a hangover on monday and say, i'm all out of money, send more. if you

i'm all for safety net that i'm against the hammock. nancy pelosi said if you give us the power back again, we're going to drain the swamp they got the car back and instead she built a hot tub. i don't think government is the first resource. take a look at the recession but what was the primary reason for the recession? government was spending too much. and a lot of big companies like gm and others, because of union pressure, to ratchet up these benefits and economists that they have no hope in paying because of what the union pressure and the threats of strikes. and you got to a point where gm let's take one example could no longer afford based on how many cars they were selling to pay off these benefits, a crisis ensued the same with the treasury department. print more money, print more money. never come to the point where you tell people, we can't do this anymore but it's like a college student goes off to college and he or she is on a budget and they blow it in the wild living in the first weekend, for turkey parties or storyboards

our ticket can be a friend and as that and a power and hammock. i used to give her shoulder grubs. she had four kids, a working-class woman. until there are witness for an inch and one left. >> and about people who were detained, there are other people . when he tried to leave the country he was stripped of his passport. now i can't really practice and in war. in this just for the finance. so, you know, the tactics continue. >> it was weird to find out that we were called hikers. in prison that was our name. but i remember after we get no answer and i were traveling room country seeing family, and number being a a night. i realize the kind of wanted to turn away from that identity. in unrealized that i have excellent. and still do. after it and do it in secret and are. maybe it can be something in between. >> keep on going. >> are for one am very happy and off. you're here. so i know that your family and friends really missed two and supported you a lot while you were there and some letters and pictures multiple times. so were they censored? did you get them in piles, never get the

[laughter] >> the hammock sounded very desirable. if i have time for one question i will ask.ere's obviously a huge debate you have alluded to among people who read pill mill bill. where was he at on the sunday talk about in the book, the question whether did he look at slavery in terms of chattel slavery and the economics as a. or was he looking at the whole fish thing and "moby dick" where he says who ain't a slave, tell me that. there's a larger existential view of slavery for him as the absence of freedom and the human condition and that doesn't justify slavery to him obviously but then there are obviously cleared things where he feels on the contrary greater bondage and that is for him a defining aspect whether these characters that pop up throughout. how do you read that in where do you see melville coming out? >> well again melville's engagement with slavery is often on. it's about emotional bondage or psychological bondage or philosophical bondage and i think he was definitely critical of this fetishizing freedom, understood freedom as individual supremacy. he believed

if you are sitting and one of those people that have taken this safety net and turned into it a hammock for yourself and you are riding here when you should be contributing off of someone else's labor, that's wrong. we need more americans going to work and higher percentage of americans working. there is no work that americans won't do, including putting on a uniform, being trained up in a.i.t. or wherever you might be assigned to go and defend our country. it's been done with honor, with dignity and gloriously by americans since before there was an america and it needs to be so for the duration of this republic. mr. speaker, i would say furthermore the idea that jobs americans won't do and i thought, what would be the toughest, dirtiest, nastiest, most dangerous job that americans are ever asked to do? when i think of this i think i bet i know somebody that's an authority on that and that would be one of the gentlemen that served in the marine corps. the dirtiest, nastiest, most dangerous job that we ask americans to do, how about rooting terrorists out of fallujah? what does that pay?

term unemployed can't find work want to work these are not people lazying in them in paul ryan's hammock these are people who have substantial work histories or young people just out of school who'd like to have a work history or people who are on the edge of losing their homes or their cars and they can't even get to go look at the right yeah yeah when you become homeless it's a lot harder to get a job. you lose your car and you're homeless with your kind of a lock. on another issue the recent report issued by the congressional budget office to see shows that the nation's highway trust fund is even deeper in the hole than we first thought. and that the gap to maintain the promised funding levels has skyrocketed by around five billion what's with the highway trust fund well i'm glad you brought that up because paul ryan actually has a solution in his budget for this. we won't allow general fund money to fix the trust fund we won't allow any increment on the gas tax to fix this we won't allow any new funding source to fix this we will either you know degrade the federal program by forty t
