so social security is the solution. by the time a woman reaches the end of her working career, what she really has is social security. as heidi has said and we have said in this paper, social security benefits need to be improved for women. but what we need to understand is that it is the core part of the solution for the disproportionate impact of inequality for women. that is why it's so important. we have a good base now. we need to improve it to meet the needs of 21st century families, as both heidi and carol has laid out. one thing i would like to point out. politicians and other public figures who claim that social security is the problem, that it's going broke, that it's in crisis and therefore, we need to cut it, are not being straight with the american people. it is just flat wrong to suggest that social security is in crisis or going broke. it is not. and politicians who take action to cut social security benefits instead of improving them will, in fact, pay a price at the polls in november and in novembers af

it's pure unadult rated socialism. >> jon: uncut, got stuff. [ laughter ] apparently socialism is like cholesterol social security and medicare are the good kind. obama care is the bad kind, unadult rated socialism, a program where everyone will be forged to buy health insurance in a competitive marketplace of private profit insurance companies, the marxist dream. get the foaton by my desk. yes, that's better. [ laughter ] some would say -- some would say isn't our current system of health care more like socialized medicine because we're subsidizing the millions of citizens without health insurance? well, shut up! [ laughter ] because obama's real socialist scheme has nothing to do with health care. >> he's basically socialized the auto industry. he is moving to free market capitalism to socialism. he socialized auto caps. >> i hope you enjoy your new line of socialist cars america, the amc kremlin, the cliftless le baro, the che-rolet. now that the tax pair bailout that allowed -- any socialists out there courageous enough to take the credit? >> that was the right course. i argued for

specifically with the social security -- social services block grant program, i can't say that all of the criticism of the concept of block grants is misplaced. i found at times that these block grant programs go to block-headed governors that don't make effective use of the resources that they get from the federal government, or mainly use these block grants to claim credit for funding programs that they did not provide the tax dollars for, but that were raised in a totally different place. but i think in looking at block grant programs, and they were -- this particular one was criticized in the ways and means hearing, solely on the basis that the estate program didn't have enough standards to it. in other words, it didn't have enough washington restrictions on main street solutions. well, there may be a merit to having some additional standards apply to this block grant. it may even be that this block grant is not the highest priority in our government funding. but my concern is that at a time when the states are making significant cutbackses in all of their social services, the que

just using the words the social brain is a controversial concept. i think we must not forget the cost to society and to families of they were dictment. and i think the cost of not just the individual but to families and close relatives is enormous. and it it is unrelenting. i know children may very well improve with age but this is a lifelong commitment to the child, and for each family member. i think allison -- >> i mean autism affects not only the persowho is diagnosed t tir entire extended family. the fact that my daughter o only sleeps three or four hours a night and everyone in my household is awake certainly affects the way my younger daughter performs in school the next day. one of us always has to be awake with her at night because we worry that she will leave the house, wandary way and we know children with autism sometimes wander and are hit by cars or drown or meet way terrible fate. but i think every parent wants to know, wants to get ino side their child's head, o even if just for two minutes, a say why, what is the meaning of your beh

published by social security. when i talked to mr. astrue about this, and he says he has a lawsuit settlement regarding the freedom of information act that these numbers have to be published. he says that we can only change this by statute. of course, i found the statute, but in the meantime, the criminals are having a field day. now, i disagree with him and i want to bring to his attention some change suggestions. in the first place, and he is operating with legal counsel in a lawsuit that was settled in 1980. it was settled regarding the names of the social security numbers. it was supposed to be published only once a year. he publishes names, social security numbers and other information every day. that is a big difference. i would ask you to consider that. the publishing their address, their date of death, date of birth, a whole set of information that was not required by the original lawsuit in 1980. mr. chairman, i would also bring to the committee's attention that since 1980, there has been a lot of cases t

this week let's talk about that do you use social media i used to actually just.why is this getting tired of it tired of trying to keep up with everyone do you think the world is getting a little bit over social media yeah a little bit yes. start using social media time to go my grandmas actually do use know why not because i don't like being. putting too much of. a photo you i love you one provision. but the public ones like to be very specific. some people put a little too much information on there i think yeah why do we care about what people eat and what they're doing every second every meal they ate you know but it's a good way to keep in touch with people so what about the phone what about you know going over to your neighbor's house and saying hi exactly i think people are getting away from that and it's too easy to just do it all. by i think there's a lot of good uses for the uses we found in the school system not so good but. i think there's too many young people are kind of think what's the big deal if i give somebody a threat over there where i've seen

>> so 39 seconds of, you can see this intense interest in social interaction. in fact, what you would think of as the opposite of the kinds of things that we've been talking about here today. >> i think just the notion that one section of the genome can have such a powerful impact in regulating social behavior really points to the power of genetic discovery in autism. because once you get down to the level of the molecule, you can then begin to see how you might be able to move forward to begin to tease apart at the cellular level these tremendously complex biological and neuroprocesses. >> also the beauty of the biology that is emerging, this has all emerged it in the last few years of the novo mutations, just two things about it that i find fascinating. what is known periodically without understanding it, the families can be perfectly well functioning. all the children can be perfectly well functioning but one child has a disorder. how does that arise? we didn't understand that. we now realize that this is a d nova mutation. the parents don't have it, none of

so social security is the solution. by the time a woman reaches the end of her working career, what she really has is social security. as we have said in this paper, social security needs to be improved for women but what we need to understand is that it is the core part of the solution for the disproportionate impact of any quality on women. -- inequality on women. we need to improve its meet the needs of 21st century families. one thing i really would like to point out -- politicians and other public figures to claim that social security is the problem, that is going broke and is in crisis and therefore we need to cut it are not being straight with the american people. it is just flat wrong to suggest that social security is in crisis are going broke. it is not. politicians to take action to cut social security benefits instead of improving them will pay price at the polls in november and novembers after that. the public is not fooled by these claims. and their attitude is that even if it is in trouble, the responsibl

well the problem with banks and finance right now is that the debt is being socialized and that at the top and at the other end of that we're ending up with basically what turns out to be you know state sponsored socialism as they you know the government bails out banks they bail out businesses and and whenever there's a debt that accrues it gets distributed among the customers among people and and just the average the average person so i mean. and yet the average person as you say i mean the average person isn't being bailed out and to say that we can't have what welfare for people but we were going to continue to have corporate welfare which is exactly what wall street is is unacceptable and wall street i mean i thought to make something really clear you know a lot of people say that wall street is and what we're seeing right now with wall street is a failure of capitalism but there's really no pure form of capitalism that exists right now in america if you think about it that's just it's corporate it's corporate welfare and it's state sponsored corporate socialism is what it is basi
