culture that i don't know i think all the people that you were interviewing really united states is correct. the common person on the streets of the united states believes that war is necessary it's right it will achieve democracy and peace and freedom and essentially that there are no other alternatives and f.b.s. sense of work culture is this is an ecology oh lord let's take a step back to disentangle this is massive question that you've posed first of all what is the christian understanding of sacrifice. well. that's a somewhat of a complex question but that the popular question understanding that most deeply affects the way we think about sacrifice in the united states is that jesus is sacrifice is the necessary act that paves the way to salvation for human beings so in other words jesus has to die he has to be sacrificed in order for salvation to be accomplished. and so what are the images of this that you're that you reference that you see in pop culture and around a sort of the support militarism well i have to take a little bit of a step back because i really i study i am a christian theologian and et

appellant is asking for some specialized review based on their speculation on the type of person that would purchase the units. how far, the appellant hasn't provided any facts that the units will, in fact, or more likely to be purchased by that demographic referring to the silicone valley and reverse commuter traffic and even more importantly if that were the case that that would actually have an environmental impact under ceqa. i think ms. hester's comment on transportation really raise a larger question on how transportation analysis is done and perhaps beyond the discussion of this particular project in this venue, but the key question for us today really is does this project with 18 units have an impact on existing capacity and existing transportation and traffic conditions. and the apps -- the answer is no. and on the same top that i can ms. hester raised t idea that the silicon valley bus concept is good for the environment and results in less transportation impacts than individuals driving their individual cars. so it probably has a reduction in impact if anything. but i do want to make a point on the

all credit card debt in the united states we've also seen something else very disturbing which is in the factoid less that maybe for next year should be that the average person getting out of college the united states now has twenty thousand dollars or more in debt and is making ten percent less than someone who got out of college in two thousand and six so life cost more food costs more gas costs more many cases rent costs as much or more and yet people are making less when they go to school and they're getting out of school with more debt so we're seeing develop inside the student loan market a scenario very similar to the one that presaged the big disaster in the housing market where a majority of middle class americans can no longer afford one of the definitive opportunities of the middle class in that case housing in this case a college education and just to put that figure into perspective the one you just brought forward which is that student loan debt is actually more than credit card that well guess what this is pretty astounding to me and then one out of every seven americans have at least ten credit cards can most people i know have maybe one or t

narrator: over 300 million people live in the united states. and each person uses an average of 100 gallons of water every day. man: what it takes to actually make clean water is somewhat a mystery to most customers. woman: so how does water get from the river into your house, or here at school? woman: somebody has to bring that water to us, and somebody has to take it away when we're finished with it. man: the water infrastructure is vital for disease protection, fire protection, basic sanitation, economic development, and for our quality of life. man: you just can't visualize all the assets that are under our feet. we have about two million miles of pipe in this nation. if you're walking around in an urban area, you're probably stepping on a pipe. man: our grandparents paid for, and put in for the first time, these large distribution systems. woman: and in many cases, it's not been touched since. man: we're at a critical turning point. much of that infrastructure is wearing out. narrator: our water infrastructure is made up of complex, underground systems th

we have in this country 77 different means tested welfare programs in the united states of america. 77. there isn't one person in this united states congress that could stand down here on the floor and without a cheat sheet name every one of them. there isn't one person in this united states congress that can actually understand how each one these 77 means tested welfare programs interrelate with each other, let alone how it affects the decisions of individuals on whether they're going to get a job or sit at home. if you're on rent subsidy and heat subsidy and food stamps and list all the other federal programs that are there, why would you work? when you're rewarded for not working? and i look at the labor situation in america, eight million working illegals in america. eight million. there are a number of others out there we probably didn't find in the data that we have and so here we are with the unemployment numbers of about 15 million americans who are registered as unemployed. 15 million. there's another six million to eight million that are past the data, they've quit trying so they're no longer techni

thwarted when the name of the child is changed, but as it is right now if an airline brings a person to the united states who does not have a visa, the airline has to pay a penalty to the united states and has to return that person at the airline's expense. so there's a disincentive for them to allow people on the planes without appropriate passports and visas. maybe there's a similar way to create a list of children who should not be traveling internationally. it's very tricky, but i think that having some sort of discussion between the state department, the other agencies in congress that's almost more of a working group approach, um, involving families, um, and maybe these hearings at the beginning of that where you can start to tease out and work on how some of these ideas could be brought into policy that could improve the overall operations. and my last point would just be, um, that i think the thing that i would love to see members of congress do more of and be that i know you're a master of, chairman smith, is to make sure that these issues get mentioned to every foreign dignitary that the
