latest information i was joined by a roof i can bomb he's a transportation policy analyst at the reason foundation and i started off by asking him if he was surprised by the first reports findings. i make it well first of all thanks thanks for having me on basically i would say not i think this is not what most passengers expected from the t.s.a. and i don't think that a lot of people are probably all that surprised i will say that when we look at the contract you know the airport screenings what happened there is in early two thousand and eleven john pistole who's the head of the t.s.a. had gone ahead and announced that he didn't see any advantage to contracting the screening he actually thought that the government government could do a better job in the t.s.a. screeners were fine and so that basically put an end to all contracted screening for a while now thankfully earlier this year when congress passed the latest f.a.a. federal aviation administration bill that was actually changed and so they can resume screening cut private screening but it's still quite challenging to get it accomplished so

to talk more about this with anthony randolph of the director of economic research with the reason foundation he's in our new york studios hey there anthony let's talk first about these roughly two thousand employees there about a sixth of the workforce that fannie and freddie and their salaries are well they're much more than most government employees make what is your take on this. a lot more than what most government employees make if if those employees were on the federal pay scale if they were like any other federal employees they would be making minimum half of the salaries that they're pulling down what sort of break this break this down what we're seeing i mean are we creating a system in which citizens are dependent on the government for home loans and yet this same mega-corporation pays its employees extremely generously. what you just pointed out there in your introduction that fannie and freddie been bailed out to the tune of about one hundred ninety billion dollars so far that's only going to go up over the next couple of years as they continue to feel losses that. that coupled w

reason. it's not a firm foundation for stock prices going up, and at some point we could be in big trouble witht i would say it's too early to fight it because, first of all, not only is the fed not pulling away from this, they are stepping it up. >> yeah. >> and other central banks are going to step it up. we counted something like 11 trillion expansion in central bank balance sheets since this started. >> any risks to this? any downsize risks of the huge expansion of the balance sheet? >> it's obvious. >> when you think about it, monetary policy is a growth strategy. fiscal policy is more austerity. talking about raising taxes and cutting spending. doesn't that work at odds with what the fed is doing? >> you could do an energy policy. that's fiscal policy and create jobs. there are other things. >> the fed feels they are the only game in town, partly because fiscal policy's got to go the other way, and they are trying to keep the economy going with this expansion. is it a risky strategy? absolutely. >> yeah. >> and they don't want to say that they are nervous about it, but this is an experime

reasons. the congressional management foundation does not have strong advice in that area because it is a personalecision. we just lay out the pros and cons. the pros are you will build stronger relationships with your colleagues if you live here. if members of congress are in washington, they will be interacting with colleagues or more regularly. you will build stronger relationships that could lead to being a more effective legislator. on the con side, if your family is growing up in a certain area and you want your kids to go to a certain school, that may or may not be available or it may be a different experience for them. that is a real personal challenge. you could argue you will be more in touch with your constituents if you stay home and keep your family there. possibly, but there are some new ways to interact with constituents through communications methods. it is a tough call. i know some very effective members of congress who have moved their families here and are very happy that they did. host: sue is calling from kingston, ill. caller: i am a former tea party- ers. i feel like my repu

the reason i'm leaving the senate is i believe that this idea of taking a case to the american people is something that i can do much more effectively from the heritage foundation, knowing that my seat is filled with someone who's going to continue to take the stands that we need to in the senate. the heritage foundation provided policies for the reagan administration and for the republican revolution and continues to develop the best ideas, the ideas that work and present them all over the country. i've talked to a number of governors since i made this decision. rick perry, chris christie, scott walker, in addition to governor haley. they recognize that what the federal government is doing is likely to end up with some type of meltdown. but the good news is this -- all over the country states are implementing these conservative ideas that are working. we see states like south carolina and states like michigan copy us, when we don't force workers to join unions. your economy grows and companies move and want to be a part of what's happening here. when you give parents more choices of education, it helps all children, low-income children, minority children. we s

reasonable deal there or any place else on capitol hill. so if he wants to go make a million dollars at the heritage foundation, which is i think what the lastuy made, it may make things work easier in the senate, but i still think it's not going to make a big difference on the negotiations between the white house and john boehner because i don't see much progress there. i think boehner, even though in control of his kau tus, doesnca have a lot of negotiating room because of the tooe party. >> do you think mr. boehner will be glad to see the end of mr. demint. >> i'm sure he will. i think it represents the weakens of the tea party within congress. jim demint is a movement conservative. we have certainly not seen nor heard the last of him. he will find other ways to create headaches for both boehner and mcconnell, but i agree with david. most importantly, it may be a slight relief from the headache for john boehner, but he's still got a big challenge in that he is negotiating at this point with himself and not facing the reality that he doesn't really have a lot of leverage. >> indeed. jared, speaking of the details themselves, speaker boehne
