it never happened in the history of mankind that all the countries at the same time facing the same problem used the same tools and succeeded. it never happened. good. is it enough for politicians to go ahead? depends on the opinion you have about politicians. i think it's enough, but of course am not sure. and, the way this nation of the world put together to respond to this profound economic and potentially human calamity thus redeeming the promise of international cooperation, all of this in my view is one of the main outcomes of the crisis. the g-20 has emerged and the main body, where this kind of discussion can take place. even there's a lot of discussion about the... who could be in, who could be out, nevertheless, it has worked and what i said before the so-called math, where all the dot will be collected and a simulation made and policy advice given by the imf is, i think, the major tool which has been created to try to make steps forward. it relies a lot on the imf and that's why -- my really last point, it requires also changes in the imf because the institution becomes a big par

it is rare in the history of mankind that any form of government has lasted as peacefully as we have for as long as we have. >> you have referenced in the sense of history streaming through you as you took the oath and knew that he would be getting this job. do you have touchdowntouchstone? >> i am smiling only because, when you select a justice, there is a perception that you are selecting a judicial philosophy, a way of making decisions. i think there's a danger in that perception. i think that the history of the court is not one individual justice. the history of the court is how each of the justices of the court has contributed a view, a way of writing, a way of thinking, in a way of approaching one topical or another, and that each justice has made valuable contributions. no justice has defined the court as a whole. i think that is the beauty of this court and that the decisions are not made by just three justice, but by nine now. i will let select just one judge does setting a definition of that history. i would say that it is the combined body of work that i draw from and that

health care costs under this socialist government-run system, it will be a first in the history of mankind. the only reason they even get some of the cbo numbers is because they rob medicare of a half trillion dollars. people aren't buying it. i hope somehow ben nelson and some of the people in the senate, when this goes back to the senate, i hope it does, will find their conscience again and reject this while there is still time. >> congressman, i'll let you get the final word. you got 20 seconds. >> absolutely. the great things we have is that seniors, or even family members, young men and women no longer have to do co-pays when they go in for health insurance. so they come for preventative care, preventive screenings. >> we are going to lose the satellite. we just lost it, unfortunately. we had a limited window there. we were having technical difficulties. i want to give thanks to both congressmen for joining us on a fair and balanced debate here. thank you. >> president obama directly blaming the christmas bomb scare on al-qaeda for the first time today. now he's promising to step up t

political action committee and one of the things larusso as references is dennis is chapter one that mankind is made in god's image so that human beings have this creative power of the mind to make scientific discoveries and technological improvements that we can always supported larger population and improve living conditions. one of the currency have is that there is a lot of talk of conflict management as if the assumption is already made that water is a scarce resource and we won't have enough. and so we have to figure out how to manage conflicts. what i want to know is why we aren't instead talking about nuclear power and detailing the station on water of industrial level. instead of digging wells in africa why we are talking about digging canal systems in modern irrigation because they could actually bring the deserts of africa the same way we agree in some of the deserts in the united states. not to mention the rest of the solar system so that my first question. and the second half we talked some about political structures and nobody's mentioned the worldwide economic crisis that we'r

the early 20th century brought war on a scale never before witnessed by mankind. 70 million soldiers took up arms in a conflict that was legal with machine guns, trench warfare, and poison gas, and almost 6 million of those soldiers will lose their lives in defense of freedom in the misery and cold and muddy trenches -- america held strong. the 1930's brought a great depression, a global downturn so severe that one out of every four able-bodied americans was out of work. just recently the governor's 75th anniversary, i was reminded how deeply the depression affected southern families and how long it took our region to fully emerge from that time. a decade later, america would join a world war and the fight against a cut -- totalitarianism. at an unfathomable cost, america ansel the -- answered the call and a merged an international defender of individual freedom and liberty, but two world wars were not the ends of our trials and the 20th-century. in vietnam, thousands of men and women fought in dark juggles around the world, but there was another war at home, a war within the nationa

the greatest expansion of wealth in the history of mankind and the interesting thing during that period of time, the bottom to pour tiles income was increasing faster than the people of the tops of the wage gap was collapsing. from 73 to date, productivity has continued up but wages have stagnated, absolutely stagnated, so workers went through for five different strategies to try to compete with that. the first thing we tried to do was work longer hours, to get over time to make up for what we weren't getting in raises and when that didn't where we send somebody from the family, another person are to from the family out into the workforce so family incomes held up. when that didn't work we took on a second or third job. that didn't work either. then me got lucky and we hit the high tech bubble of the '90s and people's wages part going up but they looked at that 401(k) and they go, they would come to me that the work center and say look at my 401(k). they felt rich. so they felt like they could borrow. and they did borrow. then the high tech bubble collapsed, and then people, we got luck

we built the middle class the greatest expansion of wealth in the history of mankind. the interesting thing income was increasing faster than the people at the top so the wage gap was collapsed. 1973 through today productivity has continued up but wages have stagnated. workers went through four or five different strategies to compete with that. when they stagnated first we tried to work longer hours to get over time to make up what we were not getting in raises. that did not work so then be sent to another person from the family into the work fayyad -- work force. when that didn't work we took on a second or a third job. that didn't work then we got lucky and we hit the high tech bubble of the '90s. people's wages were not going up but look at that 401(k)? they felt rich. so they felt like they could borrow and they did. then the high-tech bobble collapsed. then people we got lucky again. the housing bobble took off. now my $100,000 house is worth $200,000 so i can borrow. so i did. so we have an economy that forces people just to get by and work longer and more jobs a

so it's another magnitude if we really want to address this problem it is as big for the future of mankind as many say and i do believe is true there we need to find more innovative ways of financing and certainly from this point of view the input of of the imf may be helpful. well, thank you very much. i'm sorry to keep peace so late.

thousands of others, the really one person's vision, tenacity and hard work can mean for her fellow mankind on earth. we rise today to honor nancy goodman brinker. she was born december 6, 1946, in peoria, illinois. and is most notably known for her work with the susan g. komen for the cure foundation, the world's leading breast cancer, grassroots organization which has impacted millions of lives. this organization was established in memory of her sister, suzy komen, who passed away from cancer in 1980. ms. brinker since then has also founded the susan g. komen for the cure's signature program, the race for the cure, the largest series of 5-k run and fitness walks in the world. since its origin in 1983 in dallas, texas, the race for the cure series has grown from one local race with 800 participants to a national series of 112 races that yielded just over 1.5 million participants last year. ms. brinker's contributions to society extends beyond her work with the susan g. komen's centers. she has served in the government as chair of the president's cancer panel in the early 1990's. she then w

because never in the history of mankind has there been a time when a group declared war on another groupor country and then were captured while they were in the process of bringing war against those individuals that they were given full civilian treatment in court. certainly there's never been any american prisoners that were treated like that. in fact, if you read of the torture to americans during world war ii, some in the pacific or some in europe, but just phenomenal the treatment that has been accorded americans. if you look at what has happened before guantanamo bay was ever opened to americans at the hands of jihadists, extremists, then you find out that gitmo didn't cause those problems. that didn't cause a rallying cry for people to join some extremist jihadist group. it was a matter of their religious beliefs. and if you look at the pleading that was filed by khalid sheik mohammad who has now been ordered by our president, our attorney general, to be brought to new york for trial instead of being tried under the constitutional military commission down in guantanamo, you see wha

it never happened in the history of mankind that all the countries of the same time facing the same problem use the same tools and succeed. it never happens. it is enough for politicians to go ahead depends on the opinion you have about politicians. i think it is enough, but of course we are not sure and the way the nation of the world proved together to respond as this profound economic and potentially human calamity thus redeeming the promise of the international corporation all of this in my view is one of the main outcomes of this crisis that the g20 has emerged during this period was the main body with this kind of discussion can take place even there is a lot of discussion about who should be out. nevertheless it has worked and what i said before the so-called framework where all this debt will be collected and assimilation mainland policy advice given by the imf is i think number two that has been created to try to make a step forward and it relies a lot on the imf and that is why my last point it requires also changes in the imf because the institution becomes a big part of the solu

name is shannon and i work with the larouche action committee, we always reverenced genesis, that mankind is made in god's image, human beings have the ability to make technological improvements and discoveries to support a larger population and living conditions. one of the key concerns they have is a conflict management. if the assumption is made that water is a scarce resource, we have to figure out how to manage conflicts. we -- why are we not talking about nuclear power and desalinization? why not talk about modern irrigation? we could greene the deserts' of africa the same way that we did in the united states, not to mention the rest of the solar system. that is my first question. you also talked about political structures, but no one has mentioned the worldwide economic crisis we are in. we are suggesting that we must replace the current economic system that we have but seems to keep the poor poor, and we must based this system on the development of all peoples and technological change. those are my questions. >> let me turn to the panelists, who may or may not be able to enter. wh

all those that have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires that obama? was that bush? was that clinton? it was aristotle. there's not a lot of news here. we have got to get a lot more people out there innovating, and even the ones that may not go out there -- we have got to get the public at least capable of understanding enough technology that they can rationally figure out what the real issues are. my prediction is the public, down at that individual level now, is becoming more and howard and more educated, and the big slower-moving things like governments and companies are becoming less of the high interest institutions that have slowed progress. i suspect innovation would become faster and more easily acceptable because of the crisis we have, and that is a good thing. my prediction is things will get better. the >> you know, i think there has been a national and global debate for years, and it has been a slightly different debate in the u.s. and europe and other places around the world. on the need for national and global innovation strat

the greatest expansion of wealth in the history of mankind.during that time, the interesting thing is the bottom income was increasing faster than the people of the top. the wage gap was collapsing. from night -- for 1973 to today, productivity has continued up wages have stagnated. so workers went through four or five different strategies to compete with that. when wages stagnated, the first thing we tried to was work longer hours to get overtime to make up for what we were not getting in raises. when that did not work, we sent somebody from the family, another person or to into the work force so family income filled up. when that did not work, we took on a second or third job. that did not work either. then we got lucky and hit the high tech bubble of the 1990's. people's wages were not going up, but they said look at that 401k -- look that. they felt rich. they felt like they could borrow. and they did barrault. then -- and they did it barrault. and in the high-tech bubble collapse. then housing bubble took off and now my hundred thousand d

despite its location only a few hundred miles from the wealthiest nation in the history of mankind, haiti is the -- or not "the" but one of the top two or three poorest nations on the face of this earth. it ranks as the poorest country in the western hemisphere with 80% of the population living under the poverty lines of this hemisphere. and while in recent years they showed some positive trends in economic growth, the 208 hurricanes that devastated that country and caused widespread destruction and severely destroying the agricultural sector. remittances to haiti represented nearly twice the earnings from exports and accounted for a quarter of the gross domestic product of that nation. haiti has also one of the life expectancies of the world. the average haitian income is less than $1 a day in terms of income, less than $1 a day. clearly haiti had a lot of ground to cover before this earthquake struck and rebuilding haiti is not going to be easy for anyone. many have debated why haiti remains so poor and what can be done to alleviate poverty and improve public health outcomes and help th
