prison contractors one of the private prison companies in reports g.a.o. group the company's c.e.o. george zoli is america's highest paid corrections officer can you speak to the type of lobbying that sends that company is rather like geo do to make sure that they are getting the prisoners said to their facilities yet geo and c.c.a. which are the two largest for profit publicly traded companies they actually control about close to seventy percent of the market share so of course to begin any claim to efficiency is completely specious when you corner the market to that degree but yeah i mean i can give you a prime example so last year alone c.c.a. spent about you know one hundred thirty one hundred forty thousand dollars lining the pockets of federal candidates to make sure that legislators and the governors of these various states are amenable to contract facilities and you know it's super important to clarify what's meant by this because if you ask c.c.a. or if you asked geo or you know george zoli. about these lobbying efforts the refrain that we hear fr

over... well over 50% are in private hands now. narrator: they still had to pay a monthly maintenance fee, but now it was theirs. they could even sell their apartment on the open market. those who haven't taken advantage of the opportunity to acqre their own apartment are likely to have arkova: those who did not pratize, it's probably because they had bad apartments. they had bad apartments probably because they were not positioned well with regard to the access of goods during the soviet times. so they are in the lower socioeconomic... of a lower socioeconomic status than, for example, those who already have privatized. narrator: at the end of the soviet era, a typical st. petersburg family paid five to ten percent ofheir total income for housing. today the average is 40% to 50%. incomes have risen, too, but not as rapidly, so the net effecis that housing for most people is more expensive an before privatization. the new apartments that are being constructed by private developers cost at least $1,000 a square meter, so a new apart

what do you see as the proper role and constraints of the private sector? >> well, i find what administrator shah's described being very encouraging. i think that the legitimate long-term interests of american business is very much like this, and t not some sort of misguided altruism. i mean, the history of ge, coke, walmart is not one of sort of benevolent, you know, not worrying about the bottom line. i mean, it's -- these folks are serious about making a profit -- >> absolutely. >> but they've been able to identify, i think, areas where it just makes sense. if coke has a keen interest in sustainable supply of water around globe, the extent to which they're able to partner with usaid, other ngos, it helps meet this objective which deals with their ability to actually function in these companies. and it also helps them deal with markets. because if they are identified as part of the solution, as opposed to part of the problem, people who are making their own economic white houses will gravitate towards them. i think we have not always been regarded, i mean

military wasn't as efficient as a private military firm turns out yes. well you know because we're not a business as are often told our employees we're not a line item in the federal budget if we don't convince our customers to hire us if we don't add the value and save the money then we're done so in the private sector will always find a more innovative way to do things why not privatized the military altogether well because the realm of offensive combat operation should remain the realm of the state. but the support functions which is where they really spend a lot of their money can be privatized and can be done very efficient. and a lot of that is done now i don't want to end on a dire note but we you are very proud of what you've achieved do you explain times why and you argue very well but for a for people in general blackwater thrived on conflict and misery did it ever bother you if you look at it that way. no you know. when i look at used it we used to build the afghan border police we built the bases we ran the base we trained tens of thousands o

regulators on one side private industry on the other. people tend to see the regulators as a necessary evil to keep of some constraints on excess of the market but also as the lid of the innovation of the private market. they are an antagonist that the private industry should be as free as possible. i will argue they're really partners in a joint venture to use that metaphor if you want to have a field of flowers somebody has to till, the garden garden, fertilize, insectici des, do one of carter's or the flowers? i argue to have robust private industry or free-market you have to have both. i begin each chapter with a quotation starting now looking at the conventional view with regulation and less interference in as $169 billion in tax. this comes from the cato institute that has a sleek but obviously. if you think about it the industry with 2.$7 trillion that is a low rate of taxation but i would argue it is more in the nature of the investment of the attack it is what makes it possible. but this view has been pervasive if you look histo

[laughter] private inesters don't trust the private market. they don't trust in anybody other than fannie and freddie. they have the best of the government behind them. and that's why they're the business. that's why i say dodd-frank is the best thing. the message the private investors and come back in the water. the rating agencies are not going to be able to give aaa rating to 05% of the high cost loans made at the beginning of this 2001. fannie and freddie have simply to be trusted. what is iranic what is being proposed and never on the table fannie and freddie is being proposed getting rid of that. now we'll go from an implied guarantee we have for fannie and freddie and given an explicit guarantee to the private lenders that the private investors don't trust. we're going give an explicit guarantee and everybody who doesn't fit to the box go to fha is which is 100 percent taxpayer guarantee for the loans. it's while we reinventing the system to essentially make it hard for average working class american to be able to get a mortgage. it mak

so with the competition we're talking about is it private versus private majority >> yeah. >> okay. >> i think this is the case. in the public endangers those are lower parking rates. you know, as soon as you drive into the public square there's a less of an issue because of the price dlaefrl >> any other commissioner comments. okay. any members of the public who want to make xhmgz >> mr. president, i have one speaker card from the local 665. >> welcome. >> good afternoon, commissioners. march i'm the executive officer of temperatures in san francisco. we have 15 members that are in the parking industry. some numbers i've aware of and representing our numbers there's 15 hundred members working in downtown san francisco in large office building like class a and b and hotels and the sfmta garages. those parking garages are about 5 hundred or so people working in the industry including a number who won't be in a labor managerial positions but a small percentage of workers that are known as the underground economy that are not being paid with all the restrictions that are required of an e

it shifted up this curve of private spending. gap between spending and full employment income was eradicated. it could have been done, as professor galbraith urged, by increasing public spending and increasing g, like this. the apparent success of the 1964 tax cut was hailed by many as a vindication of keynesian ideas. this was the heyday of keynesian economics. but problems and theories change. within a few years, perhaps because of the basic success of keynesian-style policies, we entered a different economic world. the wisdom of using fiscal policy to stabilize the economy, and of the trend towards increasing government participation in the economy, was to come under sharp scrutiny. it's an issue that still divides economists. it's no wonder the economics profession was feeling pleased with itself by 1965. for two decades, the country had prospered. severities of the business cycle had been sharply reduced. we thought that fiscal policy held the key to ever-increasing growth and prosperity. maybe an economist and not a poet wr

[laughter] so private investors don't trust the private market.they don't trust think about other than fannie and freddie because fannie and freddie has the backstop of the government behind them -- >> certainly true. >> and that's why they're all the business. that's why i keep saying dodd-frank was the best thing because it's really a message to private investors, it's safe to come back in the water. the rating agencies are not going to be able to give aaa rating to 80% of the high cost loans that were made at the beginning of this, of 2000 and on. you know, fannie and freddie have, are, you know, they're simply, they're still to be trusted. and what's ironic is what's being proposed -- and it never seems to be on the table to keep fannie and freddie -- what's being proposed is let's get rid of hem, and now we'll go from an implied guarantee and give an explicit guarantee to the private market, the private lenders that the private investors still don't trust, but we're going to give an explicit guarantee. and anybody who doesn't fit into that bo

not on government lands, on private lands. the u.s. has approved 37% fewer new drilling permits under the obama administration than under the bush administration. now presidents going back to richard nixon have given speeches calling for energy independence. it doesn't take a geopolitical expert, it doesn't take the renowned insight of a henry kissinger to realize that our nation being dependent on foreign nations for energy, many of whose interests are very different than our own, is profoundly dangerous. as a result of the innovation, as a result of the technological advances we have right now, we're seeing jobs, we are seeing incomes rising, we are seeing less and less dependence on foreign oil, we are seeing the environment improve in unprecedented levels based on the expansion of natural gas that is reducing admissions. you know, it's interesting, our office put together a map of counties across america, color coded as to whether median income has gone up or down. that map looks like it could be a geological map of shale formation

what the private option is. i mean, these aren't people that have been involved in the debate, they're just running for congress that have never been in the legislature. i'm talking about the others. so they come out against the private option to really without understanding what the private option is. they're just against obamacare. and it's caused some people to change their vote. i would argue that that's because of a political race. i mean, i don't know any other reason for that. and, you know, that's just enough to tilt the spectrum. but everything that was promised, it happened. the wawfer was obtained. the waiver was obtained. everything that was outlined as to what it would be ended up being that way. so -- and then you've got some people that are against it and that were always against it, and they're just philosophically opposed to additional taxpayer-subsidized government programs period. period. so some of those folks philosophically that were against it before and still are against it, you're never

are there places the private sector doesn't fit properly. with infrastructure building electric plans i and things like that where they are doing that the maternal health which is a government function and clinics into the private sector is into the appropriate way to go. >> i want to go back to the point about this being an opportunity to bring us togeth together. jane harmon describes us as a shock that they don't get the fact on the span and what's important about that is that we bring in ... to the table in fact we have been just recognized as one of the top global end-to-end in the world and the number one u.s. think tank to watch and this is important for the corporation and for congress. the most innovative and exciting things in the analysis that we bring to the table is we bring the models and analysts is that the corporate center ordinarily couldn't find on its own. so there are areas where the corporate sector and private partnership with ms. but that's where you have a think tank or the sector coming into bridge that will and thi

they come out against the private option, really without understanding what the private option is. they're just against obamacare, and its caused some people to change their vote. i would argue that that's because of a political race. i don't know any other reason for that. and that's just enough to tilt the spectrum. but everything that was promised, it happened. labor was obtained. everything that was outlined what it would be, ended up being that way. so -- then you have some people that are against it that were always against it, and they're just philosophically opposed to additional taxpayer subsidized government programs, period. so, some of those folks philosophically that were against it before are still against it. but look at it this way. and realize this. we had 77 votes in the house before. by last count. we have 73 now. you had four people change for whatever rope. -- for whatever reason, the count is creek and to the reasonses could be political, i don't know. i know at least a couple. i know one in the senate was fairly political. but then the other one flipped so it

what he didn't mention is that expanding on private lands, not on government lands on private lands. has approved 37% fewer ew drilling permits under the obama administration than under the bush administration. presidents going back to richard nixon have giving calling for energy doesn't take a geopolitical expert or insight of henry kissinger to realize nation being dependant n foreign nations for energy, many of whose interests are very ifferent than our own, is profoundly dangerous. and as a result of the and the technological advances we have right now, seeing jobs, we are seeing incomes rising, we are seeing less dependance on foreign oil and the environment unprecedented levels based on the expansion of is reducied a reducing admissions. interesting, our office put counties map of coated as ica color to median income has gone up or down. looks like it could be of shale al map formations in this country because you can see median going up in and around the beau kin and brown it around barnett, and marcel will other notedable notable exception, washington, d.c. country sadly down

that is not private insurance. that is -- that is insurance that taxpayers have to pay for. >> except it doesn't necessarily speak to the poll. >> it does exactly. see to the poll. >> let me throw this into the conversation, since you're going to raise that. a great many of the people who lost insurance through cancellation, we never talk about the fact those cancellation letters invited people to come back to the company and get a new policy. many of the people who got those cancellations would not qualify for subsidies. so there's no reason for them to shop -- wait. no reason for them to shop on the exchange. millions of those people are buying their policies directly from the company. >> let's just deal with numbers that we know about, and elizabeth macdonald. so many politicians throwing around so many phony numbers. dick durbin, senator from illinois, throw around numbers. play a spot of that and get your reaction. >> 10 million americans have health insurance today who would not have had it without the americ

you need a lot of private investment to deliver results.ur partnership in uganda has brought down death rates by about 15%. it is because of technology, measurement capability, logistics partnerships that make that work. the massive global hiv-aids treatment program is underpinned by a logistics system that is run by ups and other partners to know logistics. there is no element of any of this that i think you can say with confidence that there is no role for the private sector. that is not to discount the fact that this is a reason to do more in terms of public investment in engagement, not less. you are talking about bringing people together. i have seen how these partnerships have brought together conservative republicans and liberals and everyone else in the mix because when you show you can achieve these kinds of results, it is such a highly leveraged -- it is very compelling. i think people of all walks of life got into this business of public service to deliver results in some form. this is a very compelling vision that people can get

so they could have private money to pay pg&e this fixed purpose price and the net precedes will go to the patrar hill under the resolution. we're hopeful that that traction could generate more than lifting millions but your lowest sichlts is the under lifting millions. so the switchyard that's hard to think about the hoe down yard to reconfigure that. is there a way to build a screen around the facility or to fully enclose it. under the term sheet the city will have the option of selecting it's preferred approach and pg&e will have to useless reasonable efforts to get the funding to fund that enclosure and construct it within 5 years. we that this is the be substantial benefit to the neighborhood doing something about this open air switchyard as more and more conductions around the hill an open air swatch yard will have a negative impact on the neighborhood so we want to see improvement in this ear. there's a component of the term sheet that's thinking about what if the cu c didn't provide the funding for the enclosure he could may be able not fund it. one option would be using potent

this is looking at the safety of the private schools and before i go into that and insurance it is a year since i talked to you, i wanted to give you an update and let you know that we are in the middle of the screening process and dbi has done a fantastic job and they have been working hard to implement this program. and there is a live, website that dbi and that tracks all of these after this meeting if there are any other questions about our out reach plan i am happy to go into detail on that and i am happy to talk about. >> why are we looking at private schools and many of you may know that if you are in a public school, and you wanted to do alterations you do not apply for the department for building inspection for a permit. this is the state level of dsa and however if you are a private school you are under the jurisdiction of the department of building inspection in the 30s we started to look at the schools differently and we wanted to be sure that the public schools were built to a higher standard and in 199 *6, the private school act and so largely people are aunaware of it

when you're dealing with private companies. i agree. i think there are egregious things happening and companies are -- private companies are overstepping their bounds, i hate the cookies. you know when you go check a site and then you get all these e-mails, and advertisements from different groups. and that should be addressed, as well. we have to remember that we're dealing with a fourth amendment issue, and that's what we're trying to correct, and we're going to try to get it as one step at a time you mentioned that politics makes strange bedfellows and there are some strange bedfellows together on this kind of legislation. the more you put into it the more it complicates and the narrower that group of supporters is going to be and the less likely you're going to get anything done. >> i did want to ask you, congressman, you're working with a lot of folks on the libertarian side of this position in the house of representatives, you have a liberty caucus that's forming, guys like justin and others, and i know that there's a lot of focus

he asked for a private dance. the dancer's stage name was mystic. >> she was one he went in the private area with. pat moved from the front of the stage and went in the private area. i remember him dancing with mystic in the back room. >> mystic's real name was laura england. and for some reason, on the day pat mcrae's body was found, mystic didn't show up for work. >>> des moines police thought they had a suspect in the murder of television station employee pat mcrae, a stripper named laura england. she performed a private dance for pat on the last night he was seen alive. two days later, she was gone and pat was dead. >> she stripped sunday night, danced sunday night at the outer limits and then she and her boyfriend leave town. >> police issued an all points bulletin for laura england. in the meantime, at the crime scene, investigators made some important discoveries. first, there were bloody boot prints throughout the house and they had been made at two different times and several hours apart. >> you could see

credit suisse's own little private bank. almost 10,000 were serviced by a special credit suisse branch at the zuirch airport that enabled the clients to fly into their banking without leaving the airport ground. although credit suisse policy was to concentrate its u.s. client accounts in switzerland at a swiss desk that had about 15 bankers trained in u.s. regulatory and tax requirements, that policy was largely ignored. in 2008, over 1800 bankers spread throughout the bank in switzerland handled more than one u.s. account. one u.s. client told the subcommittee about visiting the bank's main offices in zurich. the client was ushered into a remotely controlled elevator with no pretense and escorted to a room wife walls dramatizing to focus on secrecy. the client opened an account after being told the bank did not require completion of the w. nine and without that form, the account was not reported to u.s. authorities and in the later visit the money was offered cash withdrawals and credit cards to draw from the swiss account

and so from my standpoint coming from the private sector i certainly understand that a private insurance market really is very -- provides very strong discipline in terms of mitigating risk. you know, whether it's fire risk in a plant, basically insurers come in there, if you put in sprinkler heads every six feet apart versus every 24 feet apart, you're going to have -- you're going to be able to mitigate that risk and lower your insurance price. so i really haven't experienced that. the private sector insurance market is very good discipline to those risk mitigation efforts. and it goes -- those are the kind of questions i'm asking in terms of how can we, certainly utilize the federal government in the most efficient way because, you know, like you said, mr. chairman, we don't have the money to do all these things. so look forward to the testimony. >> thanks so much. joined by our fellow from little state, alaska, little state with a big population. a couple of great senators. mark would you like to say a word or two? >> you bet, small population but a state with a big punch but i would
