know we have to take all of these statements in context we've just had a report from the social security administration here in the united states saying that it's going to be even tougher to find of medicare and social security is going to start to run into a deficit situation sooner than expected but the number one reason why those numbers changed is because unemployment is so high and unemployment is high because we made the decision as a nation well and not to invest more and job growth and job creation and economic growth so this is not accidental what we're seeing in effect is a death spiral a policy driven that spiral on out of element of the social contract and number two because we've had a generation now of tax cuts for the highest income people in this country and as a result it's starting to bleed dry some of the basic social services that have been part of the deal what we're seeing and here's another example that i'd like to give you in the nineteen eighties that social security had a true financial crisis and under ronald reagan democrats and republicans got together and worked it out but

according to the social security administration, the top name for boys right now is jacob.se names are very familiar to fans for the twilight series. jacob has been the most popular name for boys since 2007. and edward was way down on the list. the popularity of isabella, however, that could very well be a result of the vampire craze. in the year 2000, it was the 45th most popular name. it's seen a steady climb to number one grabbing a top spot now for the second year in a row. if you want to see the influence of pop culture on baby names, look no further than reality tv. the names were the biggest decree over the last year, macy and bentley. both of them moved up 400 spots. those are two names familiar to people who watch reality shows 16 and pregnant and teen mom which featured teen mom macy and her son, bentley. however, carol, i need to point out elvis has fallen out of the top 1,000 names for the first time since 1954. and i am happy to report to you on this friday morning, i'm checking everywhere, snooki, not trending. >> oh, thank god. wouldn't that be awful? i can't

it is a database that is operating between the social security administration and the homeland security department. about 120,000 employers use it but that is a fraction of the total number of employers in the united states. some states have mandated the use of e-verify but overall the federal government has not mandated this. it is a debate in terms of whether it should be. there are people who say they don't know if this program is ready to be scaled up on national level for a national mandate at this point. there have been signs that the program is working and able to accommodate increased usage. the bush administration, actually put a requirement on all federal contractors to use e-verify. there is still a debate whether it should be mandated. host: what about having other people having input on technology used to it? would the administration grasp the concept like that? guest: i don't know but i agree with the caller. if they look at open source technology, that would benefit the administration and help lower costs. there's always the issue of dealing with the government bureaucrac

it is a sentiment that has been supported by these annual statement sent out by the social security administration the caller acknowledged, the government has behaved entirely inconsistent with that understanding. the federal government has rated debt over and over again to the tunes of trillions of dollars, using it for other purposes. that is not how it has been operated. host: a democrat. did i get your name right christma? caller: those are not the problem with the people. that is a problem with the republican administration that took that money and they should not have and they spent us into oblivion. now they want to take away the american people's jobs and their livelihood and their net worth for retirement. many people do not even have a pension and you cannot save a nickel when you're paying $500 a month to get to work for gas money. i just cannot imagine what you guys are thinking when you keep on giving to the rich and you gave all of those tax cuts to the rich and not any jobs anywhere. it is just a big fuss. host: what you think of her comments? guest: i completely disagree with the s

social security's, the social security fund will be bankrupt by 2026. it is not a scare tactic. it is a fact coming out of the democratic administration right now. we need to address social security. i would propose that whatever we do, we need to make sure that we are not raising social security taxes. we need to make sure we are not privatizing the fund. and i want to make sure that we have means testing, so those who are wealthy do not receive social security checks and those who need more have it available. i am focusing on medicare and medicaid over all to come to a solution because until we solve the problem and come together to do so, we will not stop these bankruptcy from happening. i have not heard any plants from the aside. i just keep hearing poking holes. let's come up with a real solution. let's have a conversation about what we can do to solve this problem, so that seniors and those who really need these benefits and services can continue to a and future generations. >> medicare and social security, that system that we have paid into our whole lives, you are basically saying you are or to pull it out from under people when they need
