he spent just three seasons with the raiders. with more now on the raiders cutting jamarcus russell, we rus bring in the perspective of john clayton.to and, john, what triggered then. raiders to finally pull the plug? >> well, the team was ready to do it last week. the but al davis decided to take one more chance to see him at theecd minicamp, which they had last weekend. cthey and they saw a good practice on friday, and they saw some of the mistakes he made on the fieldes saturday, sunday.rday so what they did is reevaluate this week, and al finally al decided it was time to make the decision to go. he liked what he saw of jasono o campbell as the potential starting quarterback, and witheu the quarterback position good, it was matter of when you cut jamarcus russell.ll so with the fact they owed him $3 million more, if he stayed in the off season program and got hurt, it would cost them another $6 million.n they decided now was the timeses because he wasn't getting any better.ou it was just time to cut the cord. >> okay. so jama

that was different from the accepted new deal their death of that others had given us a and who were raiders that have agreed to retain the ability in many cases and some of them were best sellers in the '50s and '60s if they disagree wrote history the way franklin roosevelt wanted it to have written. and i had endorsements from pat moynihan and it did get reviewed in "the new york times" and in "the washington post" who the '60s radicals have all the right ideas and we should have turned the country over and it never really accomplished much. one of the things i tried to do and the new deal narrative of the 1930's did not go the way the new deal historians would have us believe. if you go back to the public opinion poll from its infancy you find most americans were against the size of government and wanted it reduced and government regulations and taxes were choking off jobs and development that labor unions whiff about the second term of 39 was a day losing momentum as the data suggest that if there had not been the 1940 election held on domestic policy issues probably the republicans woul

they were one broken fridge raider away from defaulting. these were the people moving into the homeownership market. when you look at the numbers, it's inevitable. a single parent makes 20% of the income of a married couple. a divorced mother makes 40% of the income of a married couple. the homeownership rate in 1993 for married couples was 85%. there was no problem then. this is just maxed out. if we had been a nation of married couples, moving forward there would have been no economic crisis. there would have been no subprime crisis. none of that would have happened. but instead the homeownership rate for single parents was less than 50%. that was pulling the whole number down. and instead of saying gosh, what could cause this? why don't we work on fortifying marriages? why do we work on keeping couples together? what it would work and keeping who have worked hard, opportunity to buy a home and say we just want to push the numbers of? they look around and see who can blame? the federal reserve to study in 1991 that provide all the ammunit

the tax system is so unfair that a multimillionaire from the city of london today will pay a low raider tax on the capital gains and that's in, that on their wages. did you know that despite 13 years of labor the bottom 20 percent of taxpayers in this country pay more in taxes a portion to income than the top 20%? that has to change so we say raise the threshold so you pay no tax on the wrist in thousand tons to earn. yes, it means to be paid for with capital gains income. in the top 10% of earners in this country, twice as much tax subsidy is a real serious a small levy on the value of properties of 2 million pounds more, let's hard wire those into our tax system once and for all. let's use some of the money to .5 billion of that 15 billion pounds in cuts i talked earlier to deliver smaller glasses, less tuition to our schools and that every child gets a fair start in line and they deserve. so those of the values and the policies and the principles, those of the convictions and the motivations that drive the ford and drive the liberal democrats. i am so excited they would turn up in th

to stop the jockeying by raiders to get repeat business, my amendment would create a clearinghouse, a clearinghouse to sign a rating agency to a product issuer for the purpose of an initial rating. the clearinghouse which will be a self-regulatory agency called the credit rating agency board, will set up its own rules on how this assignment will work. it could be random, it could be formula based, just as long as the issuer doesn't choose which agency rates its product. this will eliminate the incentive for the rater to give an inflated rating in the hopes of getting that repeat business. the credit rating agency board would be compromised of industry experts, investors, issuers, raters and, of course, independents. the majority of its members would be investors, including institutional investors who have experienced managing pension funds and university endowments. they have -- they would have a vested interest in accurate credit ratings because they depend on them when making investments. another key element of my amendment is that the board will regularly evaluate the performance o

to receive a free copy of any order, citation, notice of decision that is given to the mind of the raider. yet with all of the inherent safety and it hinges of the rights system offers to the miners is shockingly underutilized. the freedom of information act response revealed in 2008 more than 90% of 249 call negative in eastern kentucky district number six didn't have one miner representative. only four of the 249 had miners represented. one reason for the lack of the miners reps is miners are often interfered with order fleeced discouraged by the operator that they show an interest in becoming. one of the current clients was discharged from becoming a representative in his mind. the interest to devote special attention toward increasing the number of miners reps and i would encourage congress to consider a change in the law to require on every shift and every line to aid to ensure the substantial safety protections gained through the system. thank you. >> thank you, mr. addington for the selection. we will get it seriously. mr. watson. -- before, mr. chairman for the opportunity. before

we want people to hear what it means to feel and their struggle is very common with many of the raiders struggle is common that means your progress can be like those individuals commonality in the success when you follow those so that is what we tried to do to make sure people understand that because they have to understand that negative as well. but this partnership is very important some how the schools, those are in our community and if they add understand allay will show a clip with poetry. of those great to writers, they are right thing and it is very common with those young people in our community. saying it back 10 days best in the book cultural literacy and retain assurances a theory called called -- and she encourages institutions parents, to make sure literature people read on a daily basis with their environment it there for the book has to look and sound like a very simple theory we have heard quite a bit and make sure you visit to common and have one of the greatest models for providing people with opportunities to learn about our history through literature for pro the poin
