per capita in the u.s. is that ten times higher than china on the other in china supposed to solemnly have a cost of rounded of ten to fifteen percent that doesn't really seem to have thought out only perhaps if you assume that all those exports go back to see you as a very far away but in the future that's going to be less and less the case as there was a fire called two other emerging markets ok joining a jump in here to get a short break an avalanche of rethinking jim you are just go to china is number one state department. the ok thank you. elaine thank you you thank . there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. and for the source material is. journalism we thought. we wanted to present. something i. suppose the plant that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in a condition where it had become a source of pollution and the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution and spreading. more

per capita air quality. education level control of a correction are still much much better than then most emerging markets so to say that china. only needs the united states to grow is also i think an extreme point of view believe that china i think there's no i'm just simply by growing internally in the same way that the united states grew internally in the twentieth century ok joshua jump in go ahead. i think there's an important point to make you're making this parallel if you look at post world war two me the us had about forty percent of the mini factory exports in the world and so to say that you know. that the u.s. is in britain's place today i mean the u.s. economy today is relatively strong compared to that and china only has twenty percent of world exports and to me that's largely driven by exports so i wouldn't say that you know the u.s. is headed towards decline in the same way that europe may have been after world war two and i think you are a good point that there are a lot of other factors qua

per capita in the u.s. is still ten times higher than china on the other end china supposed to certainly have a cost advantage of ten to fifteen percent that doesn't really seem good to air out on you perhaps if you assume that i was exposed or great to see you as a very far away but in the future that's going to be less and less the case as there was a prior call to other emerging markets ok joining i jump in here we're going to do a short break and after lunch everything you do you are disgusted and china is number one state department. the ok thank you. ily. thank you thank you thanks. her. this is true he still keeps secrets but now it's time to feel up to something that silenced oxys a. if. any leave. the to. see. him up. welcome back to crossfire it will come to mind you were talking about continue to rise of china. ok. ok when before we wanted a break you wanted to respond to martin's rapid fire comments about the chinese economy go right ahead. yeah i think we're we were talking about china being ab

well, maybe about five gallons per capita of alcohol per every person, man, woman and child.s hard to know, because so much of it is brewed at home. distilled at home. it's not yet a big business. all that vulgar stuff happens in the 18th century. but there is a -- i'm sorry, i didn't mean that. there is growing concern as the revolution approaches. nobody knows this, of course, let's be like historians, they don't know it, but there is a growing concern about drinking in certain areas. one of the things is that the taverns are crowded with lots of people. including future patriots. and they've been squeezed out of their legislature, so what else are they going to do, they're going to have a drink about it. but there is some concern about maybe there's too much drinking, too much rowdiness in the cities. those mobs, which the patriots use in order to overthrow the old regime, well, they could be a potentially dangerous force. so there's concern about drinking on the frontier, drinking in the newly settled areas. sailors, of course, they have to drink, it's part of their job.

well, maybe about five gallons per capita of alcohol per every person, man, woman and child. it is hard to know because some of it -- so much is brewed at home, disstild at home and not yet a big business. all that other stuff happens in ed's century. i am sorry, i didn't mean -- >> it is all right. >> there is growing concern as the revolution approaches of nobody knows this, of course, be like historians, they don't know it but there is a growing concern about drinking in certain areas. one of the things is that the taverns are crowded with lots of people and including a future patriots and they have been squeezed out of the legislature so what else are 24e they going to do? they'll have a drink about it. maybe there is too much drinking and too much rowdiness in the cities and the mob that is the patriots use in order to overthrow the old regime, well, they could be potentially dangerous force so there is concern about drinking on the frontier, drinking in newly settled areas, sailors, of course, notorious because they have to drink. it is part of their job. so we have a r

be quiet. >> 7.8 gallons per capita. >> in the 19th century in 1930.in the early decades of the new nation it, kind of gross crazy. you wouldn't think you col drink more than five gallons of pure alcohol a year. >> maintaining order. they're also in a drunken stup po are. >> what's happening peter. >> it sure helped political participation. >> this is the time when markets rapidly expanding and the population is so rapidly growing. you find a very complex yeography if i of drinking across the country. so you have the tavern culture of the eastern cities but you're also finding new cultures of drinking out on the frontier, down in the south the perpetual frontier of slavery and the plantations and you're finding too that right after this, a huge infusion of immigrants of people such as. >> i'm a little confused. this is we're merging on an age of jackson when things get even worse, right? >> right. >> how did we ever turn the corner on alcohol to become such a sober and moderate people as we are today. >> look at them coming out on a saturday night to l

the second figure brings this down to per capita spending per beneficiary spending and explains, shows us how disproportionate that spending is. average per person spending for enrollees with chronic conditions and functional limitations, average spending is at least double the average for enrollees with chronic conditions only. medicare spends almost $16,000 per capita per beneficiary for impaired, functionally impaired beneficiaries, and much less for everybody else. the third figure in my testimony shows us that this pattern of higher spending for chronically ill people who have functional limitations relative to people, chronically ill people who don't holds true no matter how many chronic conditions people. so even the spending for people with five -- the per capita spending for people who have as many as five chronic conditions is lower than for a beneficiary with only one chronic condition, but also long-term needs. so again, it's long-term care that is driving. the result is that it is beneficiaries with long-term care needs who rank among the highest medicare spenders. you can

if you calculate it per capita, is a very strong participation. >> the united states is a big investor, is in it, and the checks -- in the czech republic? >> i wish it was more. >> but it is in the top five, is that right? >> it is among the top five, but of course, lagging behind the european countries. but that is quite logical. again, the european union is one economic space. there are not any borders or anything. doing business with germany is, of course, like doing business with the two states within the united states. >> do you think is going to survive? right now it is in a big crisis, is in it? >> again, we would need another show, another hour. >> but what do you think? >> i sincerely think that the european union is a project. it will survive and it is a good project, because it has really taken away all of the trauma from the past. we used to have a little bit of discussion with germany. there was tension between germany and france after the war. and all of these tensions are all gone within the european project because people can travel, do business, study, and there are no

the international monetary fund has forecast that south korea's per capita gross domestic product will reach $30,879 in 2016. this is the first per capita gdp above $30,000 for the country. >>> a think tank says south korea's income gap has widened. the korea development institute reports that income inequality worsened around the time of the asian financial crisis in the late 1990s. it notes that the gap now is at a level seen in the early 1980s. some local governments are requiring major supermarket month. they're trying to help smaller stores get a bigger share of business. about 30% of big supermarkets across the country are now involved in this effort, and the number is expected to increase in the future. that wraps up today's report from seoul. back to tokyo. >> that was sue choi from seoul. >>> a u.s. venture firm backed by the two executives who run google plans to mine asteroids for rare metals. washington state-based planetary resources says there are over 1,500 asteroids near earth with rare metal deposits. the firm plans to first send a probe to determine which asteroids ho

majority of the employees at the embassy are omanies but per capita income is $20,000 a year. when you have $100,000 a year per capita income, your needs to enter the workforce in the kind of jobs that typically are available are much less. so i think that's an element that plays a role in what the expectations are and in what the needs are. i think in our country the omanis are doing a good job, identifying where employment can be made available and training omanis to take that employment. >> susan? >> a little bit different in the sense it's a small native qatar population. the country is 1.8 million but of that maybe 250,000 are you qatari. women are entering in the workforce. they are very educated. the interesting thing good scheduled qataris can practically ask for their job and almost ask for their price. because there is so much expansion and not enough qataris who are skilled to go

the shooting per capita rate in brownsville, brooklyn is 81 times higher than in bay ridge, brooklyn. that's not an artifact of racist policing. that is because people living in brownsville are victimizing their fellow neighbors at that high a rate and people are dying there at a higher rate. and that's why -- that's why police are conducting stop and frisks at a much higher rate in brownsville than in bay ridge. >> excuse me. you can't allow that assertion just to go unchallenged. because it makes it sound as if the african-american, latino residents of brownsville are, therefore, innately in inherently more violent and that good old white folks. >> nothing to do with innateness. it's simple lay fact. 81 per capita difference. >> has everything to do with opportunity, heather, and we we take away limited action programs, which you oppose and take away the safety net, the manhattan has been aggressive in champions the efforts to evirsate the safety net and pull out the rug from we'll have few punts to make a life for themselves, that's when you see the violence, all due respect. i am

it's per capita income is $6,000, and an economy can sprint, but its per capita income is $1,000 to,ty of an economy to grow at 8% to 9% is very limited. that's the lesson from history. >> you travel around the world a lot, of course, trying to figure out investments. you began to sense that the way we were looking at all these emerging markets wasn't quite right, and you came up with some simple ways of thinking about it. so you have this thing called the four seasons index. explain what it is and what's the conclusion. >> one thing i've tried to do in the book is to sort of make it as accessible as possible, and i find that economists use a lot of complicated metrics to try and say some basic truths, so one of them is extreme valuations. just look at the four seasons hotels in the various emerging markets or equally high-end hotels that gives you a sense of whether a country is expensive or cheap for doing business. and it sort of conforms with my general thinking here about these emerging markets. if you look at this four seasons index, the most expensive places to stay in emergin

per capita in some cases the higher the rate of happiness again this is seemingly paradoxical but you know the basis of good life is there and aquinas is a sufficiency of material needs and secondly approaches action so i believe there is an interesting challenge can we achieve a degree of wellbeing and happiness relative to certain level of g.d.p. and i've shown that it actually i think you can optimize happiness and g.d.p. around fifteen thousand dollars per capita so those are the challenges we face as economists can we actually create conditions which maximize our demise happiness and g.d.p. so we have a sense ok interesting christopher what do you think about that and what is the role of the state in all of this i mean some of mention a number of things the number of friends you have or what kind of relationship you have i mean that's something the state really well i certainly hope doesn't have anything to do with now in the future i mean how do you put how do you make some kind of algorithm for that because i couldn't even imagine that. well first of all it's not true to say th

>> sounds like -- >> you think it should be on a per capita basis -- >> i'd like for us to say how much we want to send. >> that's a good question. what would happen, kevin, if kansas decided not to the send anything? accepted the troops? >> -- sends the troops? ? >> there is historical precedent for that. whiskey rebellion. >> that's right. john stossel? >> i like kevin's idea. i hadn't heard that before but i would just say simplify the damn thing and whether it's flat tax or a consumption tax, get rid of all deductions and that will create growth. >> you know, lots of great ideas. we're going to explore. al and sworts raised this notion of something that is sustainable. and you know, we've heard this time and time again today that there's a lack of certainty. how do you get certainty into a tax code you the know, without a constitutional amendment or maybe it does require a constitutional amendment? steve? >> you get it through a consensus. i think paul ryan made a point earlier today in one of his interviews that if you're going to make a substantial change whether it's entitlements

. >> haiti has second only to india, the largest number of ngos operating there per capita of any country in the world. next only to india. it's much smaller, but there are a couple thousand that operate there. and a few hundred seriously and deeply. so my recommendation is that you first of all figure out exactly what you want to do. if there's an organization you know about, go to that organization's skbbs see if they work a place you want. and then give them time or money. or you can go to my foundation's website and track it to haiti and see what kind of things are going on in haiti. right across the board, you can find an ngo to work with that fits what you care about. we have lists of a lot of them. you can follow it through. but it's the simplest way to start. i'm going to ask this question. it's from twitter. usher, what inspires you to do service? singing the answer is encouraged. >> you guys just won't be happy until i do a concert huh? i didn't say no. truly the evidence that by applying these pillars that i created that we have spoken about on the panel the entire night to eng

there are more children per capita than anywhere else in san francisco. i see it as a fantastic opportunity to collaborate. >> the we moved in and everyone is talking about going up, but when we came in, we did a press conference. we said, we are immigrants here. we want to learn, we want to meet the people that live here. and we are getting to know people better. i will give you an example of something that could be done. i had an idea, based on an installation that i saw in europe. i am struck by the fact that there are more children in the tenderloin than anywhere in san francisco. people are amazed by this. it is a wonderful opportunity down here. by law, it will be impossible to dislodge all of these folks and replace it with real estate, condos, dentists, not that there is anything wrong with them. but you know. they are not going to be dislodged, they live here. >> we expect development, we like that. the tender line is approach development. -- tenderloin is pro- development. >> this is just a kind of thing. this is just an idea rattling in my head

, and china are just reaching a stage where they are no longer emerging but emerged -- not on a per capita basis for some of them. they want to have their seat at the table. we regulate reassess quotas, and reforms have been decided that now need to be implemented. we can implement those changes that will give more say, more votes, and a heavier burden on those countries that are emerging and ask for their seat at the table. it is fine to engage. anyone with these reforms, the unites states of america was still remain my lead shareholder, as it should be the case for the leading economy which leadership is much needed. i would like you to lead with 3 concluding messages. corporations can deliver. it has happened in the past. i have witnessed this on the european scene. u.s. economically leadership is needed for cooperation to work. in a world driven by an infinite of interconnections, the idea of corporation is as urgent -- "geography has made its neighbors, the economy has made us partner and." this is another time when that has to be demonstrated. the imf was founded by an american and e

because of a study that says on average americans burn much more carbon per capita than the country's immigrants typically come from so any immigrant who comes to our country is immediately one of the worst polluters on the planet! (laughter) ladies and gentlemen, again, lefty environmentalists, you can trust this study because it came from the center for immigration studies which was founded by john canton who, according to the southern poverty law center has for decades been at the heart of the white nationalist scene and has met with leading white supremacists. (audience reacts) i'm sure he's just pressuring the klan to make their cross burnings carbon neutral. (laughter) i say... folks... i say why stop with global warming. there are so many problems on which conservatives and liberals can come together to blame immigrants. for instance, liberals, listen up. are you concerned about our lax gun laws? you should be concerned about immigration. did you know that when immigrants come to america they can waltz into any gun show and buy a firearm with no waiting period or background che

the second is per capita income. the poorer the country the higher the growth rate.orer country grows at 3% to 4%, that is a much less development. when defining a break out nation. as far as my list goes, it's the country to beat expectations. india's case is classic. the economy last year dipped to below 7%. the stock market in dollar terms fell by 35%. also it's fiscal finances went out of order. i think that expectations are key and break out nations for those countries which will beat expectations and also better than the peer group in the same income class. by that i mean per capita income. >> you talk about an oil mania like the dot-com and you expand on that a little bit? >> we looked at modities the last 200 years and they follow this. two deak eads down and one up. they have been much worse than stocks and bonds and gold. gold say commodity, but in the middle of asset classes. my point here is that a decade ago, the story in magazines used to be how oil will find dollars. that was the most famous story in the 1980s. since then oil prices went up more than t

yet provide the least amount of charity care per capita as any other hospital. these health care costs are going to increase. and they will be the main beneficiaries. mayor lee is so eager to get his grant -- his plan approved, his office is not taking into account the true needs of the community. >> thank you. i am sorry. your time is done. >> good afternoon. my name is joe. i am a business representative for local 39. the jobs in san francisco that have built the middle-class have typically been union jobs. as i said, i represent the engineers that work at cpmc. we have been without a contract for 18 months and have been on strike with cpmc for five weeks now. all of the engineers that should be working inside the hospital, maintaining its in the basham -- in the fashion they are accustomed to, are out on the street. cpmc was charged with committing unfair labor practices. they have made no substantial of attempts to resolve this labor dispute. i want all of the union trades in this city to get jobs in these proposed new hospitals. i would first like to see cp

it will continue to give very nice real per capita income gains to all the chinese workers.ple ought to relax. >> don, do you think china's bottoming in the first quarter with regards to its growth rate? you have a below census outlook for the rest of the year. >> right. we've had that below census outlook for the last six months or so and still do. the consensus thinks it's first quarter down and second, third, fourth quarter up. i think it's going to be more flat. in fact, lower second quarter than first quarter. and the reason is that china's problems are not primarily cyclical. they are much more secular structural and you don't fix those problems in a month or a week or a quarter. they take years instead. >> that doesn't sound so reassuring. >> well, i think we'll continue to have growth something like the 7% range for the next five years. i'll tell you that there's 500 million people in china who have made 8% a year per capita real income gains for 25 years in a row. 1.08 to the 25th power is a pretty good career for 25 years. and 1.08 plus another 1.07 is a good 26-ye

perspective about what is at stake on a planet of finite resources with a growing population and growing per capita consumption. it should be obvious that we should be talking about sharing. this is a gigantic hole in our public dialogue. this panel and the working group and hopefully the book can fix that. see how this works. we face disaster unless we simultaneously reduce resource consumption and raise two million people out of poverty. this is the challenge we have in the 21st century. the growth the economy we are moving out of hopefully cannot do that. it is what got us into the jam we are in now. you are probably very familiar with the whitney we hear all the time. we're using 40% more resources annually than the earth can replenish. we're draining our natural capital. there has been 15 years of sustainable development with development of new green technologies. in 2011, we have the largest out of carbon ever. inequality has reached epic proportions around the world. in the united states, the richest 1% owned 38% of all wealth. the bottom 90% hold 73% of all debt. we are wiping out the plane

mediation by dissipation rate of san francisco police officers is the highest per capita in similar mediation programs in the nation. i am also happy to announce this evening that i just learned today that the occ is the winner of community board's 2012 excellence in alternative dispute resolution practices. i would also this evening like to share a few statistics with you about complaints the occ received last year and how we resolve them. in 2011, we received 784 complaints, representing an 8% reduction in complaints we have received over 2009 when we received 854 complaints. last year, we sustained allegations in 7% of the cases we close. we found proper conduct in 25% of the allegations investigated, and we found that 4% were not true or unfounded. the largest percentage of allegations we received were from -- were for i wanted accents, and unlawful search or arrest, followed by his credit, and allegations of unnecessary force. in 2011, approximately 20% of complainants were african- americans. caucasians were another 35%. another 18% declined to state their race. asian-americans included

we haven't verified this but we think this is, per capita, probably the greatest number of schools of any city in california and we want to congratulate not only the principals, but the teacher, the paraprofessionals and absolutely the students and parents at each one of these schools for their extraordinary efforts in achieving this designation. according to the california department of education, the distinguished schools program focuses on california's students and their entitlement to an equitable and rigorous education, which fits squarely with our strategic plan. the program identifies and honors schools that have demonstrated educational excellence for all students and progress in narrowing the achievement gap so on behalf of all of us in the school district, a hearty congratulations to our schools. i'm also very, very happy to announce this evening that you will see later in the agenda an item on 700 font street. and later tonight, we will be bringing to the board for action the sale of 700 font street to san francisco state university, one of our partners in the community. th

but our per-capita income is $1600 is, you know, is nothing compared to the rich world so when you say that you are going very fast, you must also recognize where we are coming from. there is an enormous amount of poverty t there is an enormous amount of inequality so there are big challenges in emerging economies. i can speak for india, where i come from. you know, india has more poor people than the entire continent of africa. and there is so much of aspiration in the last ten years. so the challenge of growth, the challenge of inclusion is enormous. and the government will have to meets to aspirations. >> rose: what was accomplished by the ecb 1.3 trillion commitment? what did it accomplish and is it as many say simply a holding action. >> well, i think the ecb did the right thing. as a conservative central bank they safeguard financial stability in a crucial moment. so that was a very, very important game change for the european scene. i would hope that the ecb feels that they have support for the target from the finance ministers and that they still feel that they have an ability

in fact, hawaii had the highest spending $251 per capita, compare that to just $17 per capita in california. the idea here is that they try to call attention to things that are specific to a particular small group or an area like, for example, in the last book they highlighted almost $5 million that was given to wood utilization research that went to 11 different states. >> interesting stuff, tracie, thanks very much. >> time to check that forecast. christina loren, going to be a nice day. >> yeah, right on par with our seasonal averages for today. and then temperatures soar through thursday and friday. so we could see isolated 90s as of friday and saturday. we have got a crazy forecast yet again this week. 65 degrees by noon today. we'll see some sunshine between 10:00 and 2:00. by 4:00 p.m., those clouds roll right back in, 67 degrees inland, 65 by the bay, and 60 degrees at the coast tonight. 7:15, giants taking on the phillies, winds out of the west, 5 to 15 miles per hour, let's go giants. let's check your drive with mike. >> let's go giants. love that music. we're looking over here to
