if congress lets him, president obama would apply new math to federal agencies, turning six into one. >> in this case, six is not better than one. sometimes more is better. this is not one of those cases, because it produces redundancy and inefficiency. with the authority that i'm requesting today, we could consolidate them all into one department with one website, one phone number, one mission-- helping american businesses succeed. that's a big idea. ( applause ) >> reporter: the small business administration and five other agencies dealing with trade and commerce would be rolled into one, and the s.b.a. will also be elevated to a cabinet post. the consolidation would save an estimated $3 billion over ten years and lead to the elimination of as many as 2,000 jobs, through attrition rather than layoffs. no president since ronald reagan has been granted the power to consolidate agencies. republicans were skeptical, suggesting the president is fine-tuning his campaign rhetoric. >> susie: a spokesperson for senate minority leader mitch mcconnel said it's about time that the president ack

holiday is the new math of racism in america. the "greedy bastards" have rebranded racism by calling it the war on drugs. they made it both acceptable and profitable. the concerns of racism from the 1950s and '60s have improved in this country, if you look at the numbers, the war on drugs has become a racist war. blacks are 10 times as likely as whites to be incarcerated for the same drug crimes. there are more blacks in prison or on probation in america today than there were enslaved in this country prior to the civil war. but remember, this is "greedy bastards"-style racism. there's a profit to be made from the war on drugs and in keeping a huge number of folks in prison. law enforcement agencies are allowed by federal law to use seized drug money to supplement their budgets. an appealing carrot at a time of cutbacks. u.s. taxpayers, you and me, spent $74 billion on prisons in 2007 with the biggest increase of our money going to for-profit prison companies. and yes, publically traded for-profit prison companies exist. these com
