was 2009 after i already retired but i do remember being frightened about that it did no secretary paulsen said i wanted this authority. congress did derided but he had a lot of authority. that was a scary time. nasdaq went for 5,000 down at 1,000. there was a lot of things happening in a very short period of time and people were worried of a financial collapse we had not seen in our lifetime. its was scary. >> we will have to wrap it up. thank you to the panel for a fascinating discussion in. [applause] and with the coming of the new congress is in jail jury not just to pass new legislation but to restore some of the powers and i hope people have a chance to review it and see it on c-span to realize we have a road map to go forward. thank you very much. [inaudible conversations] . . up next the panel discussion on feminism in the united states from the 1920s to today featuring the co-authors of the recently published book the "feminism unfinished"."

we're joined by joe quinlan and jim paulsen. to you in a second joe, but last time you were on your thesis was all the good news was pretty well telegraphed and maybe in the market. maybe we're set to ring a little of the complacency out of it. >> i kind of think we're going to be at a broad trading range this year joe. we could go a little higher. but i think we also are going to see some lower levels as the year progresses. kind of digesting the big moves we've made over the last three years. you know it's interesting, we've got this sense we had this big move in 2014 but as we sit here this morning we're probably 50 points away from the level we were at in the summer. and it wouldn't take much of a decline to be flat since last summer if you will. and i think that's kind of what we'll revisit this year. you know i do think -- i'm not as worried about this current deflationary fear everyone has. and worried about whether the ecb's going to do quantitative easing or not. i think it's already been done. i think we've had a massi

with that, i yield three minutes to representative paulsen. mr. pall seb: i thank the gentlelady for yielding. i want to thank you for your leadership, along with representative wagner in coordinating what this truly is. when you hear the words sex trafficking and human trafficking, a lot of people just think this is something that happens in faraway countries. it doesn't happen in the united states. it's sad to say it is happening here in our own back yards, know theegs traffickers are exploiting young girls for their own financial gain. right in our own communities. we're talking 12-year-old 13-year-old 14-year-old young girls. it's hard to imagine but it's true. it's happening in our cities our suburbs and rural towns. i real ires how critical it is now to educate our community about what i learned from actually speaking and talking to some of these victims. i remember speaking with deanna. she's age 13 and she tells the story about how within days of meeting this so-called boyfriend, she finds herself in philadelphia and chicago being traffick

paulsen who testified by the common notion of building codes. well, you know if you apply for mitigation funds and you're sitting there with no building code, i wonder if you could win that competition as against another jurisdiction who might have an equally good -- equally good application but also had taken some self-help initiative on its own to have building codes throughout the state. that's the kind of thing i think would bring together who wha now are -- what you call mixed messages, and i agree, because have you several different programs trying to do the same thing, and i might add each with a little. thank you, mr. chairman. >> this question is to mr. mccarthy and mr. paulsen. both of you testified to increasing costs and losses associated with disasters. where do you see these trends going absent a shift in public policy? >> i would just say briefly as i mentioned in my testimony, seeing predisaster mitigation withering away seems to me to be the wrong message. i'm not sure i understand -- i don't know if it's a difference in philoso

paulsen: putting the safety of others before the safety of themselves. unfortunately over the last few month, we have been reminded of the danger police officers face every day in keeping our neighborhoods say recent tragic murder of two police officers in new york serve as a stark reminder that officers put their lives on the line to protect our communities. in the coming weeks, i'll be reintroducing legislation to make sure the families of those officers who gave the ultimate sacrifice receive the benefits they are promised without being subject to the burdens of federal taxes. mr. speaker, all of us should be honoring the work that all our police officers and law enforcement, that they make sacrifices that they do every kay to keep us safe. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair lays before the house the following personal requests. . the clerk: leave of absence requested for mr. o'rourke of texas for today and the balance of the week. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the request is granted. the chair an

yesterday jim paulsen told us stocks are still the way to go eventually.road. >> where are you going to go? you going to go to bonds at 2% or cash at 0%? i'd say overweight. but what i would do is diversify in ways i haven't until now. one of those ways is i would minimize my exposure to the united states stock market. i would go overseas. i like europe. i like japan. i like the emerging world. >> all right. let's get into that discussion now with chief investment strategist at strategis. i don't think we've spoken in awhile. you're positive on overall on 2015. do you have any of the concerns jim paulsen has? >> not really jim -- not really joe. i respect jim quite a bit, but i have to say that the other side of that equation is that people in europe and people in other parts of the world by my experience they generally start with the idea of the currency and then they move into the asset class and then the security. and from that regard it gets really hard to fade u.s. equities. you have other people looking to get u.s. exposure because of what is likely

paulsen of minnesota and ms. moore of my own state of wisconsin, seek to continue this trend by encouraging the states through preferential treatment in the federal cops program to enact safe harbor legislation that ensures these victims are treated as victims and not criminals and are directed to support services and not detention facilities. the bill also codifies the national human trafficking hotline that ensures young victims are eligible for enrollment in the job corps program and requires the attorney general to report on sex offender convictions, clarifies the authority of the u.s. marshal service to help locate and recover missing children, many of whom are vulnerable and becoming a sex trafficking vick tifment the bill passed the judiciary committee by a voice vote. similar legislation passed on the house floor unanimously last congress but was not enacted into law. there is no such thing as a child prostitute. just victims of commercial sexual abuse it at the hands of adults. i urge my colleagues to su

years of work by representatives noem and poe, paulsen, hultgren and reichert, smith, among many others, have raised awareness of this issue and have laid the foundation for the long overdue action congress is presently taking. i am grateful that many of my colleagues have held events in their home districts to raise awareness and education of this crime. last year in st. louis, i participated along with judge poe in a conference in which the private and public sectors came together to share best practices about combating human trafficking. . they have held human trafficking events in their districts to offer solutions to end sexual assault and human trafficking. i applaud these efforts and look forward to continuing this work for years to come. however, mr. speaker, there is much work to be done. as legislators, we have an obligation to come together and do something because we can because we should and because we must. the legislation that we are voting this week in the house of representatives, will prode prosecutors with the tools they need to prosecute traffickers and provide socia

paulsen: an agreement with europe will level the playing field. 90% of the world's consumers live outside the united states. these trade agreements will give us the opportunity to build on the success we already enjoin. 750,000 jobs are directly connected to international trade. it's time for the president and the congress to move forward on a robust trade agenda to help create a health wrer economy. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for one minute. mr. thompson: mr. speaker, i rise today to celebrate the life of jim nystrom of titusville, pennsylvania, who passed away last weekend. after serving in the military raising a family and building a successful practice as a c.p.a. he, still answered the call of his community each and every time it was raised he served as president of the school board, mayor of the city of titusville and on almost every board and organization that needed volunteer help to fulfill their mission. w
