i got ready to leave, a fourth grader named jeffery looked me in the aye and he said i've got a piggy bank at home and i'm going to help you build that school. west side school raised 65, 300 pennies. it wasn't the celebrities or the sports heroes or movie stars or if i lan throw pears but children reaching out to children half way around the world to help them build a school. what can you buy with a penny the bay area? probably nothing. in montana you can buy 1/2 tootsie roll. but in afghanistan you can buy a pencil. it's not that's so important but education gives a child hope. you know, if you fight tear riz her rorism it's based in fear but the real enemy is ignorance that bleeds hatred. here in america, afghanistan, africa or pakistan. the way to overcome that i think is through education and also with having courage and compassion. instead of building walls we need to build peace and have the courage to do that. so i went back to pakistan in 94 and brought the school supplies and finally got to the village and the man was again there to greet me. he shook his head and said, chizle wh

that's what apple currently has in its piggy bank. that's a lot of moolah. so much that the company could buy ipads for a 100 million people and still have plenty left over. apple could also give back to its shareholders in the form of a dividend-- something wall street is clamoring for. but, apple isn't doing anything, at least not yet. analyst abahey lamba predicts that will change sometime this year. >> we think it's more likely that they do a sustainable dividend, starting at about $5 to $10 per share, and they also use some cash to buy back shares. keep in mind they still generate a lot of free cash flow, so its not only what's sitting on the balance sheet, it's an ongoing thing. >> reporter: internet search giant google and software king microsoft also have oodles of cash in the bank. so do lots of other large public companies, particularly technology names. quickly accumulating money on a balance sheet often signals a healthy company, and that's a good thing. but, some financial experts, like n.y.u. professor larry white, say too much cash can also be

. >> they were using their houses as piggy banks. massive market liquidations and defaults which we underestimate that it could suck the entire economy down. two, big principal reductions. big. but this is not that. and this is the third way. you muddle along. this is $26 billion. the home market is $17 trillion with 11 trillion in mortgages. muddle along and you hope that three years in now houses are worth more than they are today. that seems optimistic. will houses be worth more in three years than today? nobody can make that prediction. >> and thier down 24% from their peak. even as we talk about fixing the housing market -- >> we're seeing the end of this life cycle of pushing credit and pushing government assistance. you're seeing the pushing of government assistance coming to an end here. these things have life spans. >> we can talk about whether more people will be in the safety net or fewer people will be in the safety net and how america grows from here. growth is the most important thing. how we get there is the big argume

in the euro now some are calling china already the piggy bank of the west. well i mean it depends on what you are only europe cities to be quite small i mean they would do there has been argument about buy europe forms of other euro bonds are not big enough to absorb large or the chinese and quickly accumulating subplots therefore i think it is no orders you are rather than by the american cherry bombs i mean as you mentioned gold is the only other alternative obviously if we have sufficient the euro bonds i don't see why china cannot if you will not. foreign currency into europe. i'm running a rather long time here forgive me for that please but one last question here we're going to go back to iran very briefly with the e.u. embargoes on iranian oil exports as we know that china is the number three biggest buyer of iranian oil is a massive market right there with the e.u. putting embargoed on what is essentially a lot of china's oil could we see some sort of backlash on global markets or not and some other shape way or form from china. i'm not quite sure wh

you put a portion of your money in your piggy bank, your savings account, or your pillowcase for later use. you donate a portion to a worthy cause of your choice. and the rest of your money goes straight to whatever you want. and that's great. but there's a fourth bucket many parents don't consider-- it's "needs"-- mostly because what needs would a four-, seven-, or ten-year-old have? as parents, its our pleasure, and our legal obligation, to provide food, clothes and shelter for our kids. but understanding that adult spending money must be divided into needs and wants is a major part of financial education. and it can be taught without requiring an eight-year-old to contribute to the water bill. kid-sized needs include things like school lunches, birthday presents for friends, haircuts, and as kids get older, try extracurricular activities and clothes. all you do is transfer the responsibility of purchasing these things from our budgets to their budgets, and that's great practice they'll need for the real world. i'm alisa weinstein. >> susie: we've got more tips for teaching your kids

federal employees are going to be part of the solution but whether they should be singled out as the piggy bank for all these other issues and if you look at all the other legislation moving through the house and maybe the senate they seem to be the main target. they're talking about using federal employees for the transportation bill. so they may be an easy target for a lot of people but i think it counterproductive to move in that direction. i want to talk about a couple of studies because we just had the cbo studies and there have been a lot of studies and these issues come up in context of the joint committee and the context of other deficit reduction efforts. and really what we need to do is take a comprehensive look at this issue. if you look at the federal salary, the bureau of labor statistics data, they show federal employees on average, if you look at tear compensation package, are underpaid by 26%. what's the difference? the difference is the methodology you use. what the bureau of labor statistics, the federal salary council does is look at the responsibilities of the job of a parti

humongous public sector that has been a drain on the economy because it's it's a it's basically a piggy bank for politicians or for everyone else who and all the way down the line and that's how it's been even since the time of the ottoman empire there's been this ingrained mentality and kind of this idea of patronage in the political system so it's not something you but it certainly was much worse after the so greeks have been many greeks especially in the private sector jobs they've been trying to change for a very long period of time however the way that these changes are being impacted now they're not productive it's one thing to cut the public sector and to reform the government but that's not what's happening here what we're seeing here is just just slashing costs as much as possible with no real sense of of creating a sustainable economic environment but one of the biggest complaints from before in terms of you know how greece got here in the first place is a lot of people seem to think it was an option whether or not to fight to pay taxes will this change in the future i mean will th

at what point do these things that we voted for becoming a piggy bank? if we are going to increase the premium even more, the republican proposal goes too far. this issue of the tax increase, let me give you an example of what we're talking about. somebody who gets a tax credit is pretty low-income. the upper income does not get a tax credit. the lower income people do. suddenly you have a job and you get a bonus. that bonus pushes you to a point where when you look how much money you actually made, you are over the amount for the tax credit that you got. it is fair to say to pay back some of that money. that is what was in the affordable care act. this provision, let me give you another example. we are talking about the tax being based on a filing of the two years ago. this year your spouse got a job and you have the job and the tax credit you got to be able to pay for your insurance is not justified because you have a hiring,. you should pay some of it back. we agree to that. congress said the should pay more back. they did that twice since the ford wi

. >> and you have, last i read, about $6 billion in your piggy bank that you'd like to make a transformational acquisition of some kind in the brand area. you're free to tell us who you're looking at right now if you want. >> i think i'll pass, but thanks. >> seriously, what percentage do you want that leg of the stool to represent in the future here, that brand name for a generic, one of the generic giants out there right now? >> we don't have a particular percentage in mind. what we think -- what we're trying to do is become a full line urology and women's health care company. and we think if we stay focused on that, the profits will come, and the revenue will come, and we will be able to provide great medicines for people around the world. so that's really the strategy. we don't really have a particular percentage in mind. >> the ailments that you're mentioning there, you're going to try and maintain that focus in all categories of your revenue stream, is that the idea? >> that's correct. we're certainly not abandoning the generic strategy in any way, but we're really focused on all three o
