the greek banks were have been sleepily the whole private sector is very sleepily. at least the official private sector. so you've got this state that is using the free money to bloat itself to even more grotesque proportions. and the trouble is that that is the culture. the culture is i go to the government to basically steal things from it and i don't pay my taxes to it because i don't trust it. >> rose: so they had rampant non-payment of taxes. >> i sat down with two different tax collectors in greece both of whom told me you were goodat collecting taxes in greece you got fired. the point is not to collect the taxes. it's okay to take bryk bribes, not collect the taxes. >> rose: do all those people feel any get about having germans who have been stoic and existed in a saving society a society that engaged in significant savings rather than consumption is going to have to rescue them or else there will be i a bad place? >> i didn't detect much guilt. >> rose: (laughs) >> i detected a lot ofnger. >> rose: anger at... at the germans! and everybody else. >> rose: why anger at the germans?

the number of private sector jobs statewide actually grew by 6800. state labor officials say that overall, economic recovery trends have been steady in the right direction. one local economist agrees. >> is marilyn's, me trending in the right direction? >> yes. i still see the house sector, educational sector. >> 4000 of those jobs included the september employment picture that represent more rise in employees going back to work after their strike. it tonight's education a lawyer, a potential college merger. state education officials are studying the benefits and cost of making the university of maryland college park and the university of maryland baltimore one school. tim tooten -- tim tooten has the details. >> jobs and baltimore, and when when. baltimore city is the only city in the nation as two top 10 research universities within its borders. >> michael miller is leading the charge to study a possible merger between the university of maryland baltimore and college park. the board of regents were directed to look at the possibility of a comeback with the report by dec

then we've had no highway bill which has caused confusion and uncertainty among state officials and in the private sector, and we've had eight terror extensions of the highway bill, and now the president comes and lectures us saying i can't wait for congress. well, wait a minute, mr. president, you're the president, and you should have have been working with democrats in 2010 and 2009 when you controlled the congress to renew the highway bill. focus on that rather than giving us these temporary measures. megyn: you say it's like the slogan my mom had on our kitchen cup board which is lack of planning on your part does not justify an emergency on my part. >> right. but it extends throughout. the president outsources the drafting of important legislation in congress so we end up with, like, the failed stimulus bill and the affordable care act, bills that are unworkable and impractical and unpopular. yesterday there was an extraordinary piece in the mccrotch chi newspapers about how the president is disengaged with iraq. turns out the president did not speak to the prime minister of iraq between february 13

the imf and and other officials say what you need to do is a drop 100,000 employees and raise taxes in the private sector to try to cover these debts. the effect of that is a depressed economic activity. it is the opposite of what it greece needs. so they create a permanent repression environment. the thing that the outside authorities are doing -- to kick in the money and we will make these people change. the greek people do not want to change. in medicine they're being asked to swallow is killing them. something has got to give. the way the officials are handling it is making pronouncements about having a solution without having the population on board. tavis: we did a tour about poverty in america. we went to 11 states, 18 cities, documented all of this travel, talking to people of all races about poverty, what it is doing to everyday people. i want to ask you, what he's austerity measures are going to do -- these austerity measures are going to do to the people. in terms of creating new poor? >> it is going to be a growth industry, creating poor people to rea. mervyn king, the head of the bank of eng

designated a venezuelan based subsidiary bank of iran we've engaged with government and private sector officials for many years to set antimoney laundering and terrorist financing standards and best practices and hold countries accountable for the implementation. every country in the region with the notable exception of cuba has been scheduled or asked and answered against the counterterrorism financing standards. these assessments are published and highlights. madam chairwoman, the treasury department is committed to prioritizing our counter-illicit work we'll continue to dismantle the financial networks and build system johnson county safeguards around the nation. thank you and i look forward to answering your questions. >> thank you very much mr. glaser. mr. stockman. >> madam chairman, about them berman distinguished members of the committee. the western hemisphere is in the midst of a transformation. there are two trends of fundamental importance to u.s. security. the first trend is that security challenges in this hemisphere are becoming increasingly severe. and i look forward to talking a

private sector jobs that redevelopment finances each year. the governor's proposal sparked an outcry not only by city officials, but by many others concerned about the devastating economic impact such an action would have on local communities and the state as a whole. despite our collective efforts, the governor's proposal was modified, in part, and married with another unconstitutional bill to extort huge ransoms from the state if we want to avoid ex extinction of our r.d.a.'s. the league hasn't taken that action lying down, either. but i wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your efforts in passing proposition 22 and for our efforts to save redevelopment and let's give ourselves a round of applause for that work. [applause] now, you'll notice in your program that we were supposed to be joined today by james mitchell, the president of the flacial league of cities, but for reasons of business, he was not able to get out to california from charlotte where he serves as a council member. james is a great guy, a strong proponent of california cities, and i know he passes on his best wishes for us all. now, turning our attention to

the private sector, running businesses and going in there and telling the people the truth about what needed to be done and coming up with the plan and look at his experience as an elected official, we know he brings the best of both to what we need. he brings the great private sector experience and the experience as governor of massachusetts knowing how government works. not a legislator trying to figure out how to use executive power, but an executive who used the power and use it to make american lives better. that's why i'm endorsing mitt romney for period of the us. as republicans, our number one goal this year has to be to preserve our american way of life. that american way of life was built by enterpriseship and was built by allowing the unleashing of american spirit and american inventiveness on the economy and growing a bigger and bigger pie. the biggest difference between mitt romney and the president of the united states. the president of the united states unleashed his campaign strategy to divide america and tell those who are not doing well and who are scared that the pie of america is only so big and if you want more, we have to take it from others. i know that mi

host: please ask your guest why private sector and state department officials remain in iraq after theops leave. guest: what you have is a massive operation that is partly geared toward continuing training of the iraqi military. you've also got a lot of protection for the people who do the work. i do not know the precise break down. i am afraid we might be very surprised. host: susan is joining us, md.. the caller: -- caller: my question is, with the patrol from iraq and wars that have gone on for 20 years, there is no discussion about any of our soldiers being pows. with palestinians and israelis exchanging soldiers for military leverage, is there going to be a dialogue between these governments to get to our soldiers back if they exist? would they do some kind of swap for prisoners? host: between which governments? chicago between afghanistan and iraq. caller: between afghanistan and iraq. would they identify them, or would they do prisoner swaps? host: thank you for the call. guest: i am not aware of pows in either iraq or afghanistan. i could be wrong, but i am not aware of any. th

together with various euro officials go in and say what you need to do is whack the government, drop 100,000 employees and raise taxes over here in the private sector to cover these debts. the effect of that in the short term, of course, is depressed economic activity. it's the opposite of what greece needs in a funny way. and so they create a permanent recession-depression like environment with very high unemployment, and lower tax revenues. so the thing that the outside authorities are doing, essentially to appease the german people, so instead of saying to the german people, kick in the money, we'll make these people change but the greek people don't want t change and the medicine they're asked to swallow is killing them. so something has got to give and way the european officials are handling it now is by making bold pronouncements about having a solution without actually having the populations on board. tavis: we, on this program last week, did an entire week about poverty in america. my friend this summer, hopped on a bus, went to 11 states, eight cities, documenting this travel and talking to all kind of people about poverty in this country

department was active in going out to the international financial community 0, the private sector, as well as government officials around the world and explaining the case for why they should voluntarily withdraw from the iranian financial sector, but in particular the designated iranian abouts -- banks. in particular, those banks that were involved in support for terrorism. we have been making good progress in isolating iran and limiting the number of banks around the world that were willing to do business with designated iranian banks. the numbers of banks, particularly in europe that were willing to do business with iran were reducing iran's overall ability to access the international financial system was being impaired. with the enactment of fasada last july, to say to them, you have a choice. you can do business with the u.s. or do business with iran, but you can't do both. it has been tremendously effective. we have seen a steady decline before and after. the line dropped straight down. we have continued to go around the world. we have continued the conversations and continued to make the points that we hav

of the world there is gog to be some mix of government and the private sector, when you look at china, as a world health organization official i went there a few years after the sars crisis and asked what wasoing on there and what they said was, well the market was working so well in so many other areas that we completely market tied our healthcare system, every hospital had to generate its own fees and almost took apart a really well developed public health system they developed over many years, so what they learn was, the right mix is government intervention, good policy, some attention involvement of the market and the private sector but then we argoing to have to get that rating with each problem and with each province, that is really the answer. is that in each setting they are going to be places where the market, market forces and private sector can play a large role but in haiti rightnow, for example, not really much of a private sector so it is really going to be governments and other institutions coming in to try to solve that problem. the most importa thing is we have to be rigorous and scientific about the right m

officials as well. the idea of such a plan helped boost sentiment in the sense that there was no bad news, which was good news. and that same philosophy really applied for the private sector jobs data that we had in the u.s., the adp number which tracks private job growth. we saw marginal growth for september compared to august. although a very small move still positive nevertheless. it does set up the jobs numbers, the main one on friday very well indeed. the currencies not a major move really. we're seeing the dollar/yen keeping stubbornly to that 76 yen level and the euro/yen currently around the mid102 levels there. domestically, the bank of japan starts its two-day policy meeting today. but following on from the apple news here, we will keep track of related stocks here as the day goes on. back to you in the studio. >> ramin, thanks a lot for that. that was ramin mellegard live from the tokyo stock exchange. in other news, protests continue in the u.s. many young people are taking to the streets and voicing their dissatisfaction at the high number of people out of work. in new york city, a park near wall street is serving as a stronghold for the protesters. on wednes

and look at his experience as an elected official, we know he brings the best of both to what we need for america right now. he brings that great private sector experience and he brings the experience of governor of massachusetts, knowing how government works. not a legislator trying to figure out how long -- how to use executive power, but an executive who has used executive power to make american lives better. that is why i am endorsing mitt romney for president of the united states. [applause] as republicans, our number one goal this year has to be to preserve our american way of life. that american way of life was built by entrepreneur ship, was built by allowing the unleashing of american spirit and american inventiveness on the economy and growing a bigger and bigger pie. the biggest difference between mitt romney and the president of the guided states -- the president of the ad states has unleashed his campaign strategy already. that is to divide america and tell americans we're not doing well right now. he wants to tell them the pie of america is only so big and if you want more, we have to take it from others. i know that mitt romney

all of us there is no way that the federal government can effectively or officially -- efficiently run this like the private sector. i will remind my colleagues across the aisle that there is no example in the united states where the federal government has run this effectively and has saved money. there's no example where these near term extensions yield you a long-term savings. it has not happened. not in tennessee, massachusetts, new jersey. it does bring up other problems that exist with the class act. indeed, the budget gimmick that was there throughout the entire obamacare bill, what else is within this that would be a gimmick to get savings? we need to get to the bottom of this. the other. this highlights are the red flags that many of our colleagues have mentioned. indeed, this is being called a recipe or disaster, and it is not quite apparent that it is. another concern we will want to address is the lack of transparency that existed. they moved forward with the discrepancies in public and private statements and will want to get to the bottom of this. they have spent 19 months to implement a workable probl

official report out of the labor department. >> exactly right. >> take us inside the numbers. we know about the revised numbers upward in august, there wasn't a goose egg, and we know that the private sector numbers were higher than the overall jobs numbers, but what else did you see inside the report? >> pretty good if you dig deep into the data, the numbers look pretty good. hours worked per week increased, and that's a good leading indicator. businesses generally ask existing workers to work longer hours before going out to hire more people. temp jobs were up. they've been up now for three months in a row, and that's also encouraging. businesses hire temps before they hire full-timers. wages increased, you know, pretty -- it wasn't gangbusters, but not bad. so, you add it all up, people's incomes rose pretty well in september, providing the fuel for consumer spending, which is key to driving the recovery going forward. so you know, as you said earlier, it's not good enough. we need more job growth to bring down unemployment, but this does suggest the economy's moving forward. it's not in recession. i'll take it. i'm relieved. it's good news. >> mark, your analysis of the president's jo

official circles, nobody understood what was going on. in fact, the most senior people, the most distinguished americans , the most accomplished people in the private sector were absolutely convinced that their policy frameworks, the way it seemed the world, their established operational procedures were exactly what was called for. and they were wrong. and the question i think we should all address, not just today, but every day at the moment does he read the newspapers, as we talk to our colleagues, as we pay attention to the beginning for the presidential election campaign, the question i would put before you today is a very simple and very direct question. and i apologize a little bit of as too dramatic. but i think the question is, are we now staring into the face of another great depression? is the crisis of people talk about the financial crisis and then they put a date 2,072,008, you can choose various permutations. was that crisis perhaps not the crisis of the 21st century, but a forerunner, a precursor, the warm-up to something that is now facing a common something much more serious heading our way, actually heading our way because of the combina

officials and emergency response. so the department of homeland security, health and homeland services and the fbi working together in coordination with state and local governments and the private sectorhave an enormous responsibility to continue to work to increase our capability to protect the public from the biological attacks. this committee has been working with the federal agencies to make sure that they can fulfil that responsibility, and we will continue to work in that direction to make sure they can do so in a way that is ever more effective. so, the bottom line, as i look back over the ten years we have come a long way and perhaps we will never be as fully protected as we would like to be but we still have a way to go and i would like to focus with the witnesses on both elements of the story. what have we done since 2001 and what are the most pressing needs that we have, so i look forward to the threats of this excellent panel of witnesses today. senator collins, i appreciate you coming. i know you are involved appropriations bill the floor and are probably not going to be able to view it as a very long but thanks for coming by for an opening statement. >> thank you, mr. ch
