do you guys know how bad our education system is right now according to the organization for economic cooperation and development the u.s. ranks seventeenth over. way around it so let's just all agree to teach them safe practices rather than pretend that sex doesn't exist it's all about politics not your children's safety or their education for the g.o.p. it's about keeping your religious right your tea partiers happy the wrong way your country's future aka the children under the bus so for promoting an educational program that doesn't work well howling about government spending like a coyote in heat we're giving house republicans tonight's tool time award. our guide it is time for happy hour and joining me this evening is alone a show senior producer jenny churchill and medicine money roll calls heard on the hill reporter hello that is in a moment ago and. this person we don't have a clip for but you know i think most people out there i don't know any honey. i don't know what he but he has a i am many more people like g. chat but then some people also skype instant message i hope someone still uses am and i wou

do you guys know how bad our education system is right now according to the organization for economic cooperation and development the u.s. ranks seventeenth overall in education coming from a country is supposed to be the best i find it hard to equate the best as being in seventeenth place we're not on this list now are reading levels are about average our math and science levels are very poor. the national assessment of educational programs recently found only thirty three percent of eighth graders are profession or advanced in math this country will not be competitive in a global economy if we continue to fall behind how are we not going to invest in making sure our kids have the best skills possible. yep everybody from the president to major take in business feels they know that our science and math programs need to prove it so why was it difficult for lawmakers to understand that and speaking of science why doesn't anybody use science or these are the little things called facts to determine the promoting abstinence only education is a waste of taxpayer dollars in fact there's been several studies that have s

economic development policy. i was a community organizer for six years. i worked with young people, parents, and families around issues that concern our neighborhoods, whether it was improving muni lines, affordable housing, public schools, or just planning issues in neighborhoods. we just had a hearing last week, and we are trying to do some work around bedbug enforcement, which is a major issue in the tenderloin and of hill and 63. a hearing will actually be on thursday, april 7, 10:30. we're doing our first hearing on pedestrian safety. i think public safety is a huge concern. it ranges from both low-level crimes to pedestrian safety, and so that is a really important issue to me. we are probably more than double what every other district has. and that are preventable. and we can do better. district 6 is one -- home to one of the most diverse constituencies. we have the poorest residents in san francisco. we have lgbt. we have immigrants, people of color, youth, and a high proportion of seniors in the city as well. we heard that people want to see more

and eat -- for economic development, good jobs, and we believe that a tax to unregulated medical cannabis industry in california is good for everybody. it is good for the community, organized labor, good for business and good for the community. we have taken a look at mission organics and we think they are uniquely committed to the best practices. we think they are sincere, that they have the ability and the will to deliver on their commitments. we want to ask you to deny the appeal and to grant the permit. there are a lot of people who are afraid. but it is unfounded. we think that this is going to be a good thing for a lot of people. it is going to be good for san francisco, for jobs, for revenue and good for business and labor. thank you for your time. >> i think if they open the community will be worse. i heard a gunshot. if they open, there are a lot of students around that area. i lived there 21 years. it used to be peaceful. now it is getting more worse. if they need medication, they can go to the hospital and get a pain pill or whatever. not open in the community. i think it is impossible. there are more people coming out. chinese have had to work to make money, to

statistical information that the census bureau collects but we rely on the organization for economic cooperation and development. they have attempted to create a standardized measure of inequality still the height of these lines is something that we call a gillani index. it goes from zero to one. if a genie index were zero, all the households have exactly the same income and if it went up to one, it meant that only one had all the income. so the higher the line, the more income inequality there is. the lines here are different countries. we try to make the u.s. the biggest one, the fattest one. it is in blue. we have a comparison of the u.s. to a variety of other countries. the highest in the quality in this set of countries is mexico and the lowest is first week in. we are in the upper middle. we are above countries in western europe that were often comparing ourselves to as well in japan and canada. that is one way to look at it. we are in the upper end of inequality. another way to look at it is on the next chart that asks the question are we getting more inequality or less inequality? --s compares the mid-1

for being here. i am joined -- i am so privileged to give out an award from the san francisco economic development association or seda. we are a coalition of all the organizations in san francisco that provide small business support services to primarily lower and moderate income women and men. this is a very exciting award. this is the first time a micro- enterprise has been given an award during small business week. i would like to ask the members to raise your hands. we're working the of the -- together to provide a host of services helping people to start and grow their own businesses. tonight, the very first sfeda businurban bazarrre. [applause] we are joined by brandy and brianna, the founders and owners of urban bazaar. it is a wonderful business that speaks to the whole culture of small business in san francisco. they are artists and are creating beautiful crafts that they sell. more than that, they're bringing fair trade items to san francisco. they're bringing items made by other san francisco artists to the richmond district where the business is located. it does not take a miracle to start a small business. sometimes it feels like it does. it does n

purchasing for everything we needed, i had a business partner at the time, um, and we slowly started obtaining some financing through some local organizations like latino economic development corporation does some small loans for women-owned businesses where you do not have to have your husband sign which is, who would have thought? i was only married for a couple years and, oh, you don't have of to have your husband's credit run. oh, that's great, i guess. [laughter] so, okay. so then when we expanded the business, it's kind of two follow. we sold a franchise, searchly sold a licensing agreement to a group in seoul, south korea, which gave us enough money to afford to get financing to open our next location which was about half a million dollars to build it. so six years later jump forward, i try to get a $10,000 loan for a piece of equipment, and they're like, oh, well, we need your husband, social security number, credit -- and i have ten years behind me which doesn't make any sense. so it's always challenging as a woman to obtain financing. even with private funding, it can still get a little bit tricky. i'm the sole owner of the business at this point, and it makes it

guest: these are data across countries, but we rely on the organization for economic cooperation and vomit -- and developmentand what they have done is create a standardized measure of inequality. the height of these lines, if you look at the vertical dimension, is something that we call a gene index, and it goes from 0 to 1, and if the genie index for a country or zero, it would mean that all the households have exactly the same income, and if it went up to one, it meant that only one had all the income. so the high near the line, the more income inequality there is. and the lines are different countries, and we try to make the biggest one, the fattest one cannot in blue, and we have a comparison of the u.s. to a variety of other countries. the highest in quality in this set of countries is mexico, and the lowest is for sweden. we are in the upper middle. we are above countries in western europe that were -- that we are often comparing ourselves to as well as japan and the canada. that is one way to look at it, so we are in the upper end of inequality. t is in way to look at i the next chart to marketing mo

detail, what tribes across the country and organizations that apply for grants that actually help us deal with promoting a were language or our economic development, and she is very instrumental in learning and runs that program and allows us to have those resources to help in the community. let me give you a little bit of what i know. i'm not going to read her biography but i know -- we are our own families because it comes from our tribal communities and this is how we survive in the urban setting like washington, d.c.. i met lillian out of law school and she was the most dynamic, beautiful, well spoken young lady. she actually worked on our cultural protection program. she worked for the religious protection and health care issues and use related issues. from there she continued to grow, issues director rector of the -- this administration they're recruited her to be the mid americans, so as to know, she's also one of the. with that i would like to go ahead and let lillian give her presentation and then we will hear from yvette and then open up for questions and. >> good morning everyone.

organization countries will have exactly the same opportunity. it's important to note, i think, that this bill is strongly supported in indian country. maybe we should listen to indians about what's best for their own economic development national congress of american indians supports this bill. the national american indian housing council supported this bill. the national center for american indian enterprise development supports this bill. numerous tribes support this bill. perhaps they are the real experts here that we should be listening to. passage of this bill would normally be a routine matter in this house. but due to the strong turkish interest and support for the bill, we have a number of ethnic communities in the united states who have voiced objections. i think that's always legitimate and always appropriate. but sadly, as i pointed out, some of these objections don't have much merit. again, this is not special legislation for turkey. all 155 world trade organizations can participate. that includes the folks that are so concerned about this. second, the idea that passing the hearth bill, which by the way i strongly supported, co-sponsored, came down here and argued for, i think it was a wonderful piece of l
