giveange of options taxpayers greater flexibility, more choices, and more opportunities to accumulate savings will help them in their retirements will stop i think we ought to defend and encourage these provisions that help people to say. some suggested we should reduce the amount that americans can save in tax-deferred accounts. i think that is a bad idea and would diminish savings. while that would have adverse consequences for individuals attempting to save and provide further on retirement, i think it would also be counterproductive from an economic point of view. the most important long-term driver of economic growth is the investment of accumulated capital. be accumulated before it can be invested. encouraging a savings over time it maximizes economic growth. the second point i would make is that we've got to make sure social security is going to be there for future generations. it is extremely important program. we all know this. seniors with a guaranteed source of income and kept millions of americans out of poverty. the fact is, the program in its current form is insolvent. i

the evidence is that the more migrants the more trade and investment they get back. this is a great way to keep america, the shining city on the hill. and to take advantage of a rising rest, which offered greater opportunities than ever. from the unemployed to the joe worked. the reality is americas are logging more hours at work, year after year, than our friends in canada, germany, the u.k., france, and japan. for more, i'm joined in our studio psychologist who has studies the work life balance, and the national coordinator of take back your time. a group that advocates for more vacation and leave time. great to have you on the show tonight. >> sure. >> americans are working longer hours it doesn't look like it will change. a rasmussen survey says that 31% of employed americans work a 40 hour week, 40% work more than 40 hours a week, and that's up from just this last may when rasmus sunday found that 33% worked more than 30 hours every week, why do you see this happen. >> i think it's become a part of the cultural, a lot of people are happy they have jobbed. they l

we're more likely to be policed, more likely to be arrested, more likely to get a prison sentence, moreely to lose our voting rights on the other end. this was all through legislation. >> ryan, let's talk solutions. because, you know, we talk problems. let's talk solutions. the fair sentencing act we just talked about, obviously part of the problem is that it's not retroactive. so now there are a number of other initiatives like the smarter sentencing act, justice safety valve act and the recidivism reduction act all sort of in congress. i think what's important is, you know, it's important that the president actually use his power to move this issue forward and take a stand. at the same time, there are other solutions that are before congress that seem like they have bipartisan support at this point. >> i mean, well, i think immediately, you know, the president and all of the governors should look at the sentences of anybody, you know, who was sentenced under the mandatory minimum laws. and send them out. commute those sentences. if we have decided that we're not going to have this dis

more and more government coercion. they can only reduce cost by rationing. >> the fact is what young people want if they want insurance at all is a catastrophic plan. not one with all the prerequisites that you have to have. you have no choi about with obamacare. >> yeah, david, that is all they can afford. remember this debate is occurring in the context of a pretty shaky economy. it's particularly shaky for young people. millennial have out-sized unemployment ratio compared to anybody else in the economy. so you are asking people most pressed upon by the lousy xy to pay the postmoney. and is it any surprise they are not enthusiastic about signing up? >> go ahead, emac. >> only 41% are getting subsidies that enrolled. >> but the fact is that again, without the young healthy people going, we are all going to have to pay it. either through higher premiums or through the higher taxes. one way or the other, right? >> that's right. this is basic economics. if you have the riskiest people paying in the pool, naturally it wi

actually our answer to that is a little more more nuanced so first of all you're absolutely right jared diamond's wonderful book guns germs and steel is one of the places where the very innovative theory in which geography is. is emerging as a key determinant of economic prosperity is is that best but there are many other people who have suggested it for the present today they argue some places have disease environments that make it impossible for countries to grow they have a lack of access to see or to rivers or they have their own climate and there is fairly cold calls of evidence some of that based on our work before and some of it summarized in the why nations fail that shows that this argument is very difficult to maintain if you have countries that have very similar geographies behave very very differently because they have different institutions and you have countries where very prosperous ones become a very poor relatively speaking because there is to keep up with so people who have defended the importance of job or if you have been falling back and said well perhaps we have a

they come out of nowhere attracting more and more attention, these stocks.lly everyone who wants a piece of the stock, they have a piece of the stock. when that happens, the run is over and it's time to go home. one of my best examples of how this process plays out is still monster beverage. the company formally known as hansen natural, which was the hottest stock in 2004, then the hottest stock in 2005 and the hottest stock for the first half of 2006. hansen went from $18 and change at the beginning of 2005 to $200 when it peaked in july of 2006. the whole way up, there were people telling you hansen, a company that got momentum from the monster energy drink, was a fad and it would have to dry out and crash. well, it did do that, ultimately, but it took years for the momentum to run out and that's often the case. how did i know to tell you to get out of hansen? well, i called the top because back then because i know how these stocks work. it peaked in july of 2006. and this was in part due to the fact that the company did a five for one split. and even thou

if countries around china are more and more nervous about china's intentions and activities and invite in the united states, want to see more u.s. presence, more military exercises with the u.s. and that makes china nervous, i think the goal of the united states and these countries is to persuade china to engage in more of a rules-based way with other countries rather than throwing its weight around. and so at the end of the day that should be the objective of the united states and i think is. we want china to engage with these countries in a way where china respects their interests. at present, china is testing other countries and wants its interest respected. but it's a two-way street. china has been behaving pretty aggressively, and is trying to see some territory that the philippines sees as belonging to it. china has been interfering with efforts to conduct energy exploration. they're doing the same with the vietnamese. this is a growing process where you have a very big power and small nations, and the smaller nations are reaching out to the united states, which is pretty far awa
