one of the things that we talk about his lehman and wasn't lehman a good example of the government's not stepping in? so much of the incentive of allowing women to fail was a lesson that we need to get bigger than lehman because we need to make sure that we are big enough that we don't have to go through a bankruptcy because of the implicit guarantee of too big to fail. >> thank you and thank you for your service in your testimony here today. i look forward to reading your work as an academic. i yield back. >> thank you mr. chairman and now i recognize mr. corder. >> thank you mr. chairman. mr. barofsky of pleasure to have you here. when as a kid growing up i remember personals -- commercials and the avis commercial, we try harder because we are never two. all of a sudden number one seems to be in the financial market a guarantee by the federal government. whoever is number two, good luck to them because you can try as hard as you want as long as you are too big to fail. you always be number one. my question on i will follow up with the chairman hare, with community banks if we see w

what if lehman brothers had been lehman brothers and sisters?[laughter] yeah, suddenly we can see thing differently, and we can see there may be alternative solutions. wear the shirt. this became a metaphor for me when i was here with planned parenthood in arizona, and we had a very small clinic in casa grande. i was visiting with the staff there one day, and one of the young women said to me -- she had on her planned parenthood shirt that the staff all wore in the health centers -- and she said, you know, every day before i go home i have to make a conscious decision, am i going to wear this shirt when i go home? because if i have to stop to get milk at the grocery store, do i want to have to engage in a conversation with the woman at the checkout count about what i do and why i do it? and i thought for a minute, and i said, you know,s that is exactly the time it's most important to wear the shirt. and wearing the shirt of our convictions is one of the most singularly important and effective leadership skills. when we think back to who are the

look at lehman, enron, mci world comm, it's possible across the board, and you always want to have cash, fixed income, real estate, and never go more than one percent in my position, especially in -- in any position, especially in a small cap. but can you make a lot of money and you can have doubles and triples, and that's what you want to aim for. that's why stocks -- that's really the lesson here. >> tom: last week you mentioned you were still holding onto horizon. do you still own it? >> i still own horizon, and it's up 29.4% from when i was on thursday talking about it. you never know. look at what happened with k-mart. everyone thought that was dead money, shares going to zero, and it turned right around. >> tom: to that point, were you behind last week on that dip below a dollar? >> no, i was holding onto the shares i already owned and i'm waiting to see what their restructuring advicer can pull off. conversations are going on with creditors. there's a lot of debt there. however, horizon, i like it because the catalyst in my buying it in the first place is that they have protectio

i mean, there's this guy, ernest lehman, who is credited with the screenplay. then again, he produced the movie too. but i think he changed two sentences of my entire script and maybe cut about five minutes, so the text was intact. and i am told all sorts of apocryphal stories about hollywood and film. i am told, for example, that a screenplay was written in which the nonexistent child was changed into a real deeply retarded child that they kept upstairs somewhere. i don't know whether i believe stuff like this or not. but anyway, i was quite amazed when i went to see a rough cut of the movie that it was what i wrote, very much what i wrote, except those two dumb sentences: "hey, let's go to the roadhouse" and "hey, let's come back from the roadhouse..." [laughter] which destroyed the claustrophobia that was very important to me in the film. so i saw this rough cut of a very, very good, tough movie. it puzzled me a little bit when i saw it as to why it was being shot in black and white, since when i wrote the play, i wrote it in color, you know. but i realized

hundred forty one didn't even happen during the crisis in two thousand and eight when banks like lehman brothers would go belly up badly mae and freddie mac. but at the same time there was a massive selloff russia's market was pretty much. declined four percent in just monday's session but right now what everyone is realizes it's not as bad as it looks because if you look at just the currency markets the dollar was actually gaining weight a lot of money was taking out of shares and going into dollars so therefore as soon as it was since we're still a situation where money is being invested into the dollar not going out of the dollar that means the role of the u.s. economy still remains the same the dollar become still stays the most important reserve currency in the world and therefore there's a breathing space right now on the markers we'll have more of that around twenty minutes time. well how they are but is it just america's spending being scrutinized by doubt why the need for design over how it chooses to spend its eleven they believe that aid budgets. last that these men who fough

the decision not to intervene in lehman brothers might have been crucial in generating or speeding upthe financial collapse. but it was, you know, i think the ongoing conventional wisdom that one shouldn't do that. that's what markets are there to do; right? it wasn't done. of course the effect was it would spread panic amongst the investment houses and banks and everybody was holding on to whatever money they had, and not trusting any other financial institution. so in the end, that might -- that probably was a mistake. maybe an unavoidable mistake given, you know, the general take on what ought to be done. the bailouts, you know, there's been a lot made of that politically. but i'd like you to consider first of all that the proposal -- initial proposal to do the bailouts game from the treasury secretary and the bush administration, hank paulsen. it would have been catastrophic, i don't think there's any other word, to use if there had not been bailouts of the financial institutions one could argue about gm and chrysler, although i'd say that was pretty important too. if the argument

tonight ohio's new republican governor, john kasich, formerly of fox news, formerly of lehman brothers, signed it into law, stripping away most collective bargaining rights for about 350,000 ohio state employees with the stroke of a pen. here's the thing, though. governor kasich signing that bill tonight starts a clock. starts a 90-day clock. if opponents of that union-stripping bill can gather a little more than 230,000 signatures over the next 90 days, that bill does not go into effect. instead it gets placed on the ballot in november, where ohio voters get to decide whether they really do want to strip union rights or whether they do not. this is a fight that ohio democrats have been gearing up for weeks, gearing up for for weeks. it is a fight that ohio democrats seem pretty darn confident that they will win. joining us now is democratic minority leader from the ohio house of representatives, armand budish. thank you for being here. >> it's my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> it seems from a national perspective that democrats and the democratic base are getting really fired up b
