we need a bill that reshapes the transportation landscape for the 21st century, building on mapp 21 but going further. we need a transportation system that is smart enough to plan along economic lines, not just political lines. we need to expand our ability to harmonize federal permitting process and incentivize states to do the same. and i believe we can do so without jeopardizing the environment or project integrity. and in the process we will save valuable time and money. moreover, when gogh so we create a more conducive environment for public-private partnerships. a recent mckenzie study found, looking at the globe that countries can obtain the same amount of infrastructure for 40% less spending. just by adopting best practices. now, sure we have examples of best practices in the u.s., but i know we can do better. and so just for the sake of argument, let's -- let's say we could only achieve half of that 40% savings. if you apply 20% savings to our last funding bill, map-21, that would have equaled $21 billion. that's a lot of additional projects that could be happening all across a

>> the miton freed mapp had an idea, a negative income tax, basically, everybody has a guaranteedlevelf income, and it wouldn't have the same distortions the current welfare system has if this discourages work or marriage, for instance, and this level would be set low enough that people don't grw dependent on it. [applause] >> i'm michael ashley, student at the university of delts. what do you think is 5 good outline or effective measure of creating a small govenment that stays small? >> one idea proposed to keep government smaller s to link federal spending as a percentage of gdp with an actual rule, and congressman are held responsible if they want to increase spending above historical norms. that's a good starting place. >> another ia is to repeal five rules and pass one. [laughter] >> my nam is ken williams, political science student at ohio university. in obamacare, with -- how -- where there's a distrust theme for the insurance companies because they want to make a profit, that te solution to that is to andate the insurance companies. >> where the idea comes from, i dot know, it'

tom acker mapp, al jazeera, washington. >> the president to talk about a major trade deal, he says itill make it easier for the pacific to do business. but critics say those deals hurt more than they help. kimberly reports. >> jr.ry says he is a victim of free trade. he was working at the spark plug plant in the mid western state, when the company announced it was moving most production to mexico. >> they were taking my whole life away. i worked there for 32 years. did the undesirable jobs all the way, finally got to the job that i really enjoy, and it was different every day, and then they are going to take it away and move it to mexico. >> he was forked to retire early, now he has a part time job trying to scrape together enough money uh to put his two daughters through university. the company's move as a result of the 1994 free trade agreement, or n actionfta. i lowers barriers for u.s. companies and gave them access to cheaper labor, but also cost ohio thousands of jobs. still, the u.s. is now looking to negotiate two more massive trade deals. >> we need to wronger together to pro

. >> my wife calls me ber mapp. >> so that's why it's called "at this hour" with berman and mckayla.as a perei pereira. you're berman. >> we figured if they said with berman and michaela, it would be hard for them to find replacements for us. >> you know what? you might have something. boom. >> we got it. you better now? >> cuomo filling in. can't be berman. >> ooh, you touched on a sensitive subject. if you want to connect on facebook, see how i averted disaster? please do. it is facebook.com/atthishour. this has been really great. thank you so much for joining us right here "at this hour" with berman and michaela. >> "legal view" with ashleigh >> "legal view" with ashleigh banfield starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> hello, everyone, and welcome. we are in jacksonville, florida, live at the case of michael dunn. and you've been watching this for the last several days. this is day four of testimony in a case that has not only this community watching very closely, but the rest of america watching closely, as well, because, of course, there are so many parallel

sort of -- if you want to follow that story, you have to think that it's like being stuck in spider mapp's web, okay? you are helpless. can't get out of the web. that is not right to me. i also argue that the real shock kind of story, the real side of the economy, the supply side of the economy, is not given the attention. this is true in the blogs, it's true in the popular economics in general. now, tim talks about this. he analogizes real business cycle theories as a failure of the red cross to deliver supplies to a p.o.w. camp. of course, it's great with the story, bill, a p.o.w. camp, but this is one place where tim's analogy does not work so well because it is mannah from help. it's not right. the p.o.w. camp setting suggested supply shocks are far from the normal situation, not right either. you have the alternative analogy or storiment here's the one which tyler and i tell in the principles of economics book. a real shock. they are weather shocks in india. panel a on the left here, what you see in green is the growth rate of the output, gene for growth, and in blue is deviations of

. >> think about true mapp for a minute. truman was an old fashioned democrat, belonging to every old fashioned club in missouri. a slapper, a hill fellow well met. author dispiased truman. they wanted them off the ticket in 1948. they hoped to have eisenhower run even though they didn't know what he represented, but he was not truman. he was too much a normal guy, dbt want that. what they like about kennedy, now, think about it, kennedy's father, joe kennedy, was not a pleasant guy in world war ii. [laughter] robert kennedy worked for joe mccarthy. whaftion appealing about this? what was appealing about the guy was he was not ordinary, didn't come from the middle classes, but represented a cut that was above. elevating american taste. the big change as a force collapsed with tromping of mcgovernism, and then reagan's republicans three electoral victories in the 1980s. liberalism reconstructs itself in the 1990s when labor reconstructs itself in public sector unionism. that's dwr i say what happened in new york is an express
