is it one thing to cover the new industry of the marge marijuana, and the legalisation of a drug. is it taking it a step too far to have a critic? >> we don't think so. if marijuana is legal, it's no different to writing about beer from a critical perspective which we do in the rocky mountain state. we write about wine and other things. bill o'reilly made the point that restaurants don't get you intoxicated. a good percentages of your bill is dedicated to wipe, a cocktail or a drink. >> moving on to serious topics that you'll cover - tax revenue is a good story, because there'll be a tonne of tack on recreational marijuana. you have all sorts of taxes coming in on this, and estimates are $33.5 million will come into colorado state coffers, and it could be double that in 2015. >> estimates are all over the place. now it is looking like it could be a significant amount of money. i believe last year about 5 million was raised on medicinal marijuana, and then, now, of course it looks like significantly more. taxes are 20% more on the sales of recreational marijuana. are they higher th

in march a marge majority of swiss voted to end giant exit packages for ceos.ote is in the works. the swiss are debating a proposal to give every citizen a minimum cash stipend of $2,800 a month for doing nothing at all. basically free money that arrives in your checking account every 30 days. all of these proposals in capitalist and business friendly switzerland no less reveal a larger global anxiety about inequality. no country is immune. not even switzerland which is more equal as a society than many european countries and of course much more equal than the united states. in fact, one reason why these votes are taking place is because swiss law enshrines people power through referendum. there's an important lesson for all of us to learn from the swiss example. we as a society need to deal with concerns about income equality. if we don't come up with a series of sensible solutions, it is only a matter of time before populism take over with phony solutions that will only make things worse and at that point any sensible measure will seem too little too late. up

all the other variables we'll be looking at will line up in a way to give us confess that the labor marge is strong enough. >> some of es expected the taper, larry, but i think the dovish comments might be what excited the market. he said it may not be until december 2015. he was also asked about fed chair nominee janet yellen, and whether she approved of this schedule, and had el said she did. so markets don't have to expect much change in policy if she's approved this week, as expected, by the senate. larry, back to you. >> many thanks, steve liesman, appreciate it. >>> it was a record day on wall street, as the stocks surged. let's do go down to the floor with bob pisani. good afternoon, bob. >> they were expecting two things, a modest -- and they would try to persuade the markets that tapering was not tightening and they better not screw up those expectations. bernanke did not only screw up, he and the fed hit a home run for the markets. practically a pulitzer prize statement. after a brief drop, stocks rallied with the dow closing at the highest for the day, up nearly 300 points. it

marge simpson or ali g have done it. often it's controversial. mahmoud ahmadinejad the former president of iran has done it before. channel 4 said that edward snowden's decision to reveal the extent of these surveillance programs has been one of the most significant events fst year and in fact, british security services for their cooperation with the united states also got a lot of heat. and he's kind of rallying not just the british people but obviously the world who's watching to have a dialogue about these mass surveillance programs going on not just in the u.s. but around the world. let's take a listen. >> a child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all. he'll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves an unreported un andlized thought. and that's a problem because privacy matters. privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be. >> well, so brianna, it's not clearly as uplifting a message as the queen gave but one he thought was important to talk about. i might add that here i

for more, i'm joined from westchester pennsylvania by chief economist at moody analyst particulars, marg, great to have you with us. >> thank you. >> any surprise with the fed decision to roll back its stimulus campaign? >> i was surprised by the fact that they effectively lowered the threshold for the unemployment rate. they have a 6.5 unemployment rate for raising interest rates in the language with the statement they released with their decision, they effectively lowered that threshold and effectively adopted a floor under inflation. when you add it all up, it was actually quite dubbish decision that provided anything net stimulus to the economy. that's what surprised me, that they were at dubbish as they were. >> in layman's terms, that means the likelihood of interest rates going up anytime soon was pretty much diminished by what they said today. >> yeah, exactly. i mean, they had been saying all along that they're not going to raise interest rates for a long, long time. they effectively made that a a stronger statement today, that they really mean they're not going to be raise in i

they've had the iranian president and marge simpson. they tend to put on stuff where the person presenting this alternative address to the nation is seep at culturally relevant, but the queen's address is a very traditional thing here in britain. families will gather round the television on christmas to listen to her speech and it is seen as something quite sacrosanct. channelle four traditionally or has at least since 1993 when they started this, done as an alternative to the royal family and some do find that slightly controversial here in the traditional sectors of great britain, david. >> phil, when edward snowden gave this enter vow to the washington post last week declared victory, saying mission accomplished for people brought up to date on what the n.s.a. is doing. anything different about what he is saying to the british people today? >> we do have a transcript of what we expect to hear from edward snowden and there's a couple of very particularly interesting things. he talks about privacy at great length, and says with the tec

my question is, are we even close to a shrinking marge nalt return? are we even close. you look like maybe you want to address that. the short answer we're not even close. the difference in annual earnings between someone with bachelor's degree versus a high school diploma is over 20*6rd ,000 a year. that translates in to $5,000. >> so deficit or not or maybe especially if we have a national deficit. spending money on pell grants is red investment for our taxpayers. >> yeah. i was going correct you and say it's not spending. it's investment. you are correct. thank you. i appreciate the opportunity. the porps of moving as a nation away from a philosophy toward higher education i've lived importance of the degree. but of course the world has changed a lot in the last 40 years. i would say the federal financial aid system is one of the great success story in the history of the federal government. when our goal was access, we have provided access to higher education for people in the country. like never seen before. in a degree that us value. the income won't be higher. peo
