man and conversations with mr. gold man and assistant superintendent lee, this is not an easy transaction, it is a complicated transaction and it looks at a number of properties, but i think that the bottom line is that this is a transaction where both parties benefit. and i think that that is one of the things that we do here in san francisco well. and we look for sort of the good in the transaction and clearly, this provides the benefits to both the school district and to the mission of my office, which is to create the additional affordable housing and so on behalf of the mayor's office, i truly want to thank you for your consideration of this, and clearly, we feel that this is a wonderful transaction and we look forward to working with you to close this transaction. and also, to collaborate with the district in the future, on any endeavor that you may have, whether it be the workforce, employee housing or the other transactions and the real estate transaction and the ovalles of the mayors is here it provide assistan

mr gold berg, it is a pleasure to have you with us. for our audience there's a bit of a delay. mr gold berg, you have's before that you do not believe that nelson mandela should be seen as a saint or a saviour, that is how the world sees him. as someone that knew nelson mandela, how do you think he would like to be remembered. ? >> first, thank you for inviting me. as your correspondent said, can we leave them alone for a bit. in the limelight must be painful, in this period. how do i see nelson mandela - inspirational. sometimes made mistakes. he says so himself. a collective leader. found new ways always. a deep thinker, intellectual, but a man of action as well. and warm-heart, man who called me boy because i was so much younger than him. fond memories, and inspirational memories for the country. i listened to the discussion about his legacy. a lot of our young people don't know of that period, just as american kids don't know about world war ii or richard nixon for that matter. this is the work that we have to do and in 20 years to solve the problems of 350 years of racial

mr. baker and ms. gold come back in 2019 come at that point it's fair to say that we are more likely than not to be able to say at this point we have seen a negative impact of the accumulative effect of the cuts upon the patient care. >> i believe that is an accurate statement. >> so do i. a i have a doctor gg home to lose a woman -- a woman losing her m.a. plan that is a diabetic and has had this service help her so tremendously. mr. holtz-eakin can you rest this myth that the sp10 prolonged the life of the medicare trust fund? the doctors go out of the trustful and all of the money that goes out over the treasury has spent every dime and it's gone. >> when mr. dingell or mr. green suggested they prolong the life through the aca and you flacks say -- flatly say with your credentials you just totally dispute that. >> i testified numerous times in the year since about the fiction of government trust funds being able to pay any bills. >> i yield back. >> the chair thanks the gentleman and recognize mr. sarban

mr. sarbanes did and asked ms. gold, how did we get to the point where we are paying so much more for private insurers through medicare advantage to provide medicaid benefits? isn't it accurate that reforms in the aca will help correct the overpayment problem in medicare advantage plan and payroll and extending medicare solvency for all beneficiaries of? >> yes, i think it will have that effect. >> okay. let me -- i think it's also worth noting that all of the cuts to medicare that were included in the aca were also included in each of the republican budget proposals for the last three years. so under a republican proposal these cuts to medicare advantage were continued also. i want to mention the way we measure this solvency is by the medicare trustees report, and the trustees report shows post-aca solvency in medicare is extended, and i think that's important to state as well. mr. baker, i know that the past there've been concerns about medicare advantage plans cherry picking and seeking to enroll the healthiest senio

mr. bernstein, what did the delegates who assembled here hope to accomplish at bretton woods? we had two different objectives. one was to get monetary stability without the rigidity of the goldndard. the other was to prevent a recurrence of the disorders -- deflation and the depression -- that followed the first world war. we hoped we could get through a reconstruction period where europe would once again be a great producer. we hoped that we could establish a world trading system in which all could share in prosperity. and we wanted stability. schoumacher: to ensure stability, the bretton woods agreements outlined a new system of international cooperation. the linchpin of the system was the american dollar and its convertibility to gold. europe was either occupied or had been conquered, and every country in europe needed resources -- it needed to restock, it needed food. and of course, it had to be reconstructed. we were the only country that had the real resources to spare for that. and of course, you'd have to buy these resources with the dollar. schoumacher: so bretton woods provided a framework for the rebuilding of europe. and the united states played the key role in f

mrs. so go back to this india story of the union finance minister said the reason why people aren't purchasing these financial products and instead stay with the five thousand year history of gold is because quote it is important that all our institutions maintain the highest ethics and highest standards of probity and ethics deficit can bring down the entire financial system as we have seen in the past here we are on the verge of global financial catastrophe again with housing bubbles beyond even the last housing bubble gum and use their stair equating gold with unethical behavior no they're equating they're saying that the reason why people continue to hold gold in india is because they don't trust the ethics of bankers and their financial products so that if bankers instead become more ethical and they stop defrauding people that maybe the indians will give up their gold and go for their financial products so he's imploring them to please stop being so on ethical and then perhaps the economy and india can grow but you can't teach these bankers to be ethical just like you can't teach rust to stop rusting you can't teach cancer to stop being cancer they are at the molecular le

mr. rule, a quick question regarding tax loss selling. when you have a commodity like this one that's slid, and we're talking about gold, of course, right now, i know you're in other precious metals as well, but as far as gold, wouldn't you think that over the next week to ten days you'll see a zenith or capitulation trade where people dump this one to match it up against gains they've taken elsewhere in the market? >> absolutely. i think what the market needs to turn around this capitulation selling. the bottom of the last four bear markets has been marked by absolute capitulation selling. i think that's something we need. i think past is prolog. if you look at the secular -- the cyclical decline, pardon me, we saw in 1975, in that great 1970 cyclical bull market in gold, is pretty much analogous to what we're experiencing now. and your comments are spot on as a trader. i think you need to see a capitulation washout in gold before it and the rest of the commodity sector turns. >> so you're saying, then, you do not see gold rallying in 2014, at least in the first half of the year? >> that isn't what i said at all. i said that in response to
