so thank you very much to richard reeves. [applause] and thank you very much to professor childers two are doing a wonderful job for posts gas have copies of their books the library and are sticking around to sign copies beardless hope you'll join us in the lobby. thanks again for joining us. we're joined by bruce bartlett this book "the new american economy." you call yourself many times throughout the book and elsewhere on the supply side or a former supply-side. what is supply-side economics? >> guest: supply-side economics is sort of a euphemism of an economic viewpoint that developed in the late 1970's, where we had a problem of stagflation friesian unemployment and rising inflation. in the existing philosophy, economic philosophy was based on theories of john maynard keynes which had been developed in the 1930's. and those policies presuppose the deflationary situation. so when you use them in an inflationary system, all they did was make inflation worse and the inflation eventually made the unemployment worse. so the s

under the previous administration, there are positive steps, but there's still much progress to be reeved. in the new administration will continue to face many challenges and i remain concerned by trends and ambiguities regarding china's military modernization including china's missile buildup across from taiwan and the steady increase of china's power projects and capabilities. moreover, china's military budget continues a trend of double digit increases at a time when china provides more and more of the loans that support the american economy. china's transparency on defense issues is still limited and questions remain regarding china's strategic intentions. this was highlighted days ago following china's concerning missile interseptember event. at the same time the reduction of tensions across taiwan state is a positive development. i hope 20 see further progress in that area, including meaningful action by china to reduce its military presence directly opposite to taiwan. i'm also encouraged by china's recent involvement in a counterpiracy operation in the gulf of aden. this demonstra

reminded very much, if you look at quite similar parallel cases between abdulmutallab and richard reeve, space some years apart, -- richard reed, spaced some years apart, each trying to do harm to a transatlantic flight, using it is similar chemicals, decisions were made by the previous administration, after looking at all of the factors involved, to enter richard reid into our civil justice system. i think he was indicted two or three days after the incident and is now spending life in prison in a super max facility in colorado. >> in this session yesterday, did the president ever tell those executives sitting around the table that there drop -- their jobs are on the line? >> i think the president was very clear in his 10-minute opening statement , to use his words, we screwed up. that this incident could have been a disaster. that that disaster was not averted -- that disaster was averted by the brave citizens on that plane, not because the system worked as it should have. he did not find that acceptable. she will not find it finger- pointing among agencies to be something he will tol

i feel that way even more strongly because as you were adviced by state treasureer tate reeves, our annualo payment went down by $10 million compared to last year. of course, we'll have to adjust that down to show that, and the other reductions in the available revenue. i consider one the worst mistakes that can be made at a time like this would be the excessive use of one-time money. of course, the appropriations for the year we're in right now, fiscal year '10, and those for next year do and will contain huge amounts of federal stimulus money that the following fiscal year will go away. there is one-time money. because it'll evaporate under current federal law. about $150 million of that stimulus money is scheduled to be gone by december 31, and about twice as much or $350 million on june 30 of next year. we have to carefully work around these funds -- using them productively, but knowing and planning how to budget and spend when these funds are gone. as they will be. these enormous amounts of disappearing federal funds mean fiscal year 2012, the budget you must deal with the next legisl
