a weapon for social change the reason why it's a show a social club is one because we're a very social unit and there's a very low bar for entry into the social club well you got to do is listen and. are jams are coming to show in your and also we're trying to avoid litigation because someone else on the name streets with what role do you think musicians should play as far as social justice and political change goes you think that they should take on a more like role and work towards different issues or do you think they should get on the ground to work with movements to implement that's. what i would say first of all i would never what musicians need to do is is what is honest to themselves you know i would never suggest the musicians to do not have a you know sort of social conscious but adopt one because i suggested you know i mean but but on the other hand i think that not just musicians but people in any profession whether they're journalists or cameramen or you know groundskeepers but they don't divorce their lives from their politics and their beliefs and that's you know what i

social security penalizes the amount of money i'm able -- social security -- but i find that social securityenalizes the amount of money and able to make. guest: what mary is referring to is something called the retirement earnings tax. i'm actually glad she brought this up it gives me a chance to dispel some myths concerning social security tax. if you are someone claiming early benefits, there is a certain level of earnings around $14,000, and if you earn above that in a given year, your retirement benefits are reduced by about 50 cents for every dollar that you learned. people view this as a 50% tax. people worked right up to the $14,000 earning limit and stock. you do not want people to do that. what people do not know is that you lose earnings due to early retirement, once you reach full retirement, your security is raised to make up for that. it is basically a delay in benefits. the argument is that if you are working, you do not need the money so much, so we will put it off to a later time when you really do need it. if you are doing the earnings test, you will get that money back lat

what is socialism? socialism, but for another name, is the same as a monarchy. it is the government taking care of you, the government getting the rights from god and spreading the wealth around. in europe, they are used to that. they are used to being taken care of. we are not. and we won't. [applause] it is that which has brought people out of the woodwork and brought me to be here and traveling around the country to try to deliver a message that i hope will unify this country. and bring us to a point where we are willing to stand up and say, government, we can do with less. if you look at my record, i came to the time was in 1990. i would not say -- i came to the congress in 1990. i would not say it was a miracle. it was during the time of bush 41. bush had forgotten to read his lips. if you were a republican, you were not doing too well. i ran against the subcommittee chairman on one of the most important committees in congress. he had $1 million that he's been. i spent about $200,000. i grew up -- he had $1 million that he spent. i spent $200,000. i grew up

social security is fine. are there things we can do to improve social security? of course. to backdoor methods to whack social security. i'm not going to do that. we have a lot of things we can do with this debt. but one places i'm not going to be part of picking on is social security. >> before you go, civil leader of the democrats, fewer democrats now. how do you is he your role in the senate in this 112th congress? >> my role is to set the agenda for what we do in the senate and do my very best to work with the president and republican house of representatives and, of course, my friend, mitch mcconnell, to move this country around. >> we'll leave it there. senator, thank you very much. >>> you can watch our entire interview with majority leader reid on our website up now, gecko: are you ready for your talk, sir? boss: just going over how geico helps people save in even more ways... ...with good driver discounts, multi-car discounts, defensive driver discounts... woman: you! oh, don't act like you don't recognize me! toledo, '03? gecko: no, it's...i... woman: it's too lat

i worked hard to get social security.e the man said earlier, there are some who do not deserve it, but the government cannot go after everyone. guest: i think what you are referring to is that the fact there was no cost of living adjustment for two years. there was actually a decline one year. when that happens, your benefit levels stay the same. so the real value of those benefits go up. and you do not get another adjustment until prices have gone up to adjust for that. i would guess that next year there could be a cost of living adjustment, depending on what inflation does. there are many arguments as to what the best measure of inflation should be. should there be a measure tied specifically to things that people who are elderly tend to buy? even if you look at those measures, on average, the purchasing power of a social security check is as good or better as it was a few years ago. host: if you continue to see if the price of food go up, gasoline, those types of items, so you could see the politics changing? guest: we

so whether you're in a hispanic social organization or an african american social organization or a gaysbian, bisexual, transgender social organization, that is not the issue. the issue is, are you having a problem with alcohol and drugs and if so, does your social context acknowledge that there are those problems and does it embrace recovery as a construct. because that's the other thing we want to push is social support for being in recovery. treat me- treat me with understanding. treat me- treat me with courtesy. drug and alcohol addiction is an equal opportunity disease. individuals in recovery come from all walks of life and deserve to be treated with respect and admiration for winning one of the hardest battles there is. treat me without judgment. treat me- with humanity. alcohol and drug addiction deserves proper treatment. for drug and alcohol information and treatment referral, call 1-800-662-help. i had no idea it was going to be so hard. i didn't know what to expect. you hear the stories, but i never took any of it seriously until i found myself here. and then i realized i wa

alice working on the old forecast that social security -- i was working on the old forecast of the social sure you would go cash-in five years. but it has gone terminally cash- no negative now. >> yeas. >> instead of having several hundred billion dollars a year coming in from social security that we could send somewhere else, those days are over. those days are over. >> yes. the bonds held in the social to treat trust fund and those in the hospital veterans trust fund are much less than the future obligations. that's why we say that they will swap their resources at some point. so the projections we do for spending for social security and medicare under current law capture all of the benefits that would be paid under current law. in that sense, the gross debt you're talking about is only capturing a subset of the future obligations. if you look at our projections for total spending and total budget deficit over a decade and beyond, it does not just those for which there are bonds tucked away. and there are things in gross debt that may not reflect future obligations. it is not just socia

so, you know, the french social democracy, germany is just boring. nobody cares, nobody is interested. it is as ronald reagan said, one of the two things he said that i really agreed with. pick out an area where you have no competition. you have no competition. the field is clear. that is the reason i picked it. >> well, how is german social democracy so different from french? what is tony's argument as they compared to yours? >> well, tony's book is wonderful. you should buy his before mine or you were born -- "were you born on the wrong continent?." he is much more interested in defending state ownership and public ownership. the germans have less of that partly because after world war to the americans and british and french decided they did not want a strong german state. and germany is not -- was never unified to begin with. the popes have always battled. they do not have a strong central government faugh. what has been interesting about their version of social democracy is that this figure out a way to empower people. that is the real dividend.

security and we have cuts in social security. >> a couple of things. one, on the issue of social security, the president has made a tenant the fact that we have to strengthen social security, both for those who are beneficiaries today, but to make sure it is available tomorrow. but he is very serious about engaging in a bipartisan conversation about this. all of this is part and parcel of his efforts to focus on the deficit in a smart way, and to take into consideration those recommendations and determine how we should go forward. i think people should stay tuned and look at the budget in a few weeks. >> melody barnes, thank you for your time. >> thank you so much. >> susie: a different view of social security. former minnesota governor tim pawlenty offered a solution to keeping the program solvent. speaking today in new hampshire, the republican presidential contender, said one way to do it is by limiting social security payments to wealthier americans. pawlenty says his plan is not ideal, but it's reasonable, and could help deal with the nation's mou

it is all available to you on television, radio, online, and on social meehan network -- social medias. it's washington your way. the c-span networks, created by cable and provided as a public service. >> "washington journal" continues. host: we are talking about regulation and job creation with diana fuchtgott-roth, who is the director at the center for employment policy at the hudson institute. welcome to the program. in the previous segment, we were talking about the legacy of ronald reagan 30 years after his inauguration. you bring up the connection between his statement on regulations and a statement that the current president just made. guest: in 1981, ronald reagan issued an executive order that the cost of regulation has to be lower than the benefits. in order -- in other words, the benefits have to exceed the costs. this was one of the beginnings of regulatory reform. jimmy carter had moved in the direction of looking at the cost benefits of regulation. ronald reagan continued that with his executive order. president clinton also had an executive order in 1993. host: taking a

and trust one another now we've seen for example in places like screen that have high a sense of social cohesion when they went through a major financial crisis or in the early one nine hundred ninety s. they got through it quite well because they actually work together and if we look around the world as we look to confront these challenges it's important if societies are pulled together and one of the indicators of that is whether or not there is growing or less than economic disparity another big challenge at the global level though is the inadequacies of the global governance system to actually identify and address these challenges in a coordinated fashion we're seeing this with the failure of the doha round we're seeing this with the lack of a coordinated approach to food security issues so these challenges at the domestic level with economic disparity and the international level with a lack of a coordinated approach these are actually two major risks in and of themselves but what kind of economic disparity is potentially more dangerous between or within countries. well both of them

social security will become bankrupt and so don't have a social security if your 25 years old and just are your career. those people are wrong and i will tell you why they are wrong. because social security will be the last federal program steny. social security will be there after the pentagon has been vacated at lee's death to someone else. why do i know this? because every year, every six months, never can keep it straight, i get, you get a statement from the social security administration, and what does it say? it says you have an account balance. is your account balance your and your name is right next to that account balance. you start to think that yeah, there actually is some money in some place in washington with my name on. if somebody takes that away, i'm really going to feel hard put upon. i don't get a statement of account from the pentagon. added in a statement of account from the department of energy. so you can cut the pentagon and i'm not going to do so you took away something that's owed me. but if you start messing with my social security, then i'm really going to fe

facebook is a great social network. the young people -- remember, the middle east is full of -- basie the repression, they don't have freedom, they have been told by religion -- religious zealots they cannot do this and that. they want freedom. they want what we have. we have the opportunity to say, listen, we believe in your freedom. but we should definitely voiced our opinion. anwar sadat was the former president of egypt before possible bart and he was gunned down. he was the leader of the people had hoped -- he was the former president before hosni mubarak and was gunned down. we have embassies and all of the countries -- in all of these countries. host: thank you very much. george is one of several callers mentioning the power of the internet. the first tory we read this morning -- internet and data services were cut throughout egypt today as the protests mounted after the prayer services at noon. next is a call from long beach, california. mark is a republican. caller: if you did not know what pressure you are und

given into the shift of global power centers and they're also concerned over the risks from increased social inequality brought on by the global shift so the financial elite is looking for answers in the field still dominated by questions. hello robert thank you very much for joining us from. well. in a recent interview you said i quote vulnerability of the world economy two shocks is a higher level than we've ever seen before and quote and the world economic forum founder klaus schwab said a similar thing he said i quote the world has never been confronted with so many complex challenges at the same time yesterday and quote so how do these statements add out with official declarations of has the states claiming that the crisis is over well the fact is the financial crisis is some of its worst symptoms are over but some of the underlying global risks are still there there's still tremendous macroeconomic imbalances there's challenges with commodity price fluctuations at record food price levels and in fact of course this horrible nexus of terrorism illegal trade and so on of which we've seen

stop picking on social security. there are a lot of places -- >> do you think the arithmetic on social security works? >> no doubt it does. it's not in crisis. this is something that is perp wet waited by people who don't like government. >> are you prepared to raise the retirement age or seriously tackle social security? >> what we have said is we have a serious fiscal train wreck coming for this country if we don't deal with these entitlements. this is something we need to begin to work on. for me the first entitlement we need to deal with is the health care bill. >> we'll get to health care. i asked you about social security. >> absolutely. we have got to focus on what we can do together. as that just indicated, the senate is not willing to do anything under harry reid. >> what are you willing to do? means test benefits? raise the retirement age? >> we have a program that we have seen one of our members, paul ryan, chairman of the budget committee, put together called the road map. he and kevin mccarthy and i wrot

>> well, the fact of life is we spend more time on social media.when we're out and we're social -- if you're at happy hour, people look happy, you don't know what is going on in their lives. and typically we don't observe people when they're by themselves, which is when they may be more sad or depressed. so, you know, it's not new that you lock at people on vacation or with their families and go, oh, they have this great life and you say mine is not so great. that's not the point. the point is not to compare yourself to other people and look at what are real factors in your own life. >> how do you not compare? i mean, the reason why we have these cliches like the grass is often greener is that cliches are often true. how do you not do this? >> by understanding reality. most of us have more negative thoughts or negative experiences that we have a point and we find a way to have the right perspective. so looking at your own self and saying, if i have to do that, then they probably do too. >> taking solace in the fact that people are probably more mis

we save social security. this is brilliant script writing first of all but secondly everyone in the room is thinking bob dole is not going to say that and senator moynihan said he did. i saw him on c-span in the middle of the night in kansas somewhere in a field saying pat moynihan and i save social security. and we did. bob dole did indeed appear in a moynihan commercial saying that. when the clinton administration came in a harvard professor was coming to washington for his term in the administration and i was running the confirmation hearings at the time and came by for his visit. he said to him at a certain point in the conversation that you are allowed to come here for two years and then have to go back within two years and he said to them there is no sense getting involved in this stuff if you are not going to stay out for 30 years. and there is a passage in steve's book that is relevant to this and a discovery of mine because it is a memo the senator wrote about a conversation he and i had. i had no id

political, social, and economic reforms that meet the aspirations of the egyptian people.i am honored to be be the -- in the timeless city of cairo. >> two years ago it all seemed so much easier to speak out for democracy in that now-famous speech in cairo. >> i have an unyielding belief that all people yearn for certain things -- the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed. the freedom to live as you choose. >> much less certainty now as president obama held another session on equipment with his -- egypt with his national security team. with the outcome still far from clear, they warn of too hasty a solution. >> one has to be careful about how quickly you leap on the tiger before you know where the tiger is going and you know something about the tiger's disposition. >> in new york, another show of solidarity with egyptians protests. it's been 30 years of u.s. support for the egyptian government as well, if president president mubarak's new policies don't work. the u.s. will have to follow. >> some of the most memorable images from a day of anger

but if one is living on social security alone, one has got pretty... days looking ahead. >> the big danger is that people are being pushed out of their primary employment before they get to social security age. there's the highest employment in unemployment in history for the 50-plus worker. they're working for a long time. so when you save you're not just saving for your retirement. you're saving for a contingency that happens before your official retirement, some sort of forced retirement. that means that the money you save over your lifetime may also be well invested if you invest in yourself and your skills. so instead of becoming a low- value worker in your 50s, you can have invested in yourself and have high intellectual capital, high skills so that there isn't the pressure to push you out of the work force. there is an extra monetary pressure that the boomers will be facing as they move through the 50s into their 60s in order to stay employed. >> ted's point is important. it doesn't just affect people in their 50s and early 60s. part of what is

what is socialism? socialism is the same as a monarchy. it is the government taking care of you, the government spreading the wealth around. in europe, they are used to that. they are used to be taken care of. we are not, and we will not. [applause] it is that which i think has brought people out of the woodwork and brought me to be here traveling around the country to try to deliver a message that i hope it will unify this country and bring us to a point where we are willing to stand up and say, we can deal with less government, and i came to congress in 1990, somewhat of a miracle -- by any estimation, a miracle. i ran in 1990, and it was not a good election year. george bush forgot how to read his list, and if you were a republican, you were not doing particularly well. there were a handful of seats we faked a shot. -- we picked up. he had almost $1 million keyspan. i spent $200,000. by the way, any black and gold fans out here? we got a few. i never spent -- i spent five weeks in that district, and i was frustrated, and i went out and
