is precipitating a debate over social security the thing now. we have the top man, a congressman sounding the alarm and a debate on how to solve it ahead. whether you collect benefits now or in the future this affected you. listen up it's important, it's your money and it's "inside story". >>> with congress lurching from debt ceiling to a shutdown and threatened shutdown from the department of homeland security there's another cliff on the horizon, social security disability insurance, it will not have enough money to pay full scheduled benefits by the end of 2016. congress is fighting over how to fluing the gap. it's -- plug the gap. in is complicated stuff. we'll walk you through it with the people inside the story. the stakes are real of as of december there were almost 11 million receiving social security benefits the average over $12,000 a year. if congress fails to act by the end of 2016, benefits would drop by $2300 per person. don't worry, not yet anyway. congress never failed to act in the past. in fact, it has shored up social security

and social security? in general has thus far been largely to remain silent, even in the face of the impending d.i. trust fund exhaustion. the only major structural change that the administration briefly considered was adoption of the chained c.p.i. in government-wide price indexation coupled with benefit enhancements for vulnerable populations. however, the president has since withdrawn even that modest proposal and has publicly stated that he would not even discuss the idea unless he was assured of getting yet another tax hike for the general fund to go along with it. mr. president, as i have said before, it is premature to kick the can down the road again by agreeing on some payroll tax reallocation between the two trust funds and social security as a temporary patch of convenience and the patch that was unilaterally constructed by this administration. yes, there have been reallocations among many trust funds in the past, under many varying circumstances and yes many of them have had bipartisan support.

the social security inspector general released a report saying 6.5 million people have active social security numbers who based on their own records would be more than 112 years old. i think maybe in our country we have had just a handful of people actually live that long. we are told 56.5 million. i am not sure where they are. they are out there or maybe not. in 2000 the records seemed to show living individuals with activity social security numbers born before the civil war. only 35 people are 112 or older in the real world. we will hear about insuring accurate information about who is alive or dead and what should be concerning to us is that inaccurate death data may lead to improper payments by many other agencies across the government and also creates greater vulnerability for fraud. we will hear more about this from today's witnesses. the administration deserves a lot of credit for making initiatives to curb waste and fraud. the office of management budget will describe this and we need to move more and must use every tool able to put the house back in order and give the americ

active social security numbers who based on the social security own records would be more than 112 years old. i think maybe in our country we've had just a handful of people actually live that long. now we're told it could be 6.5 million. i'm not sure where they are, but they are out there. maybe not. in fact in 2000 the records reviewed by the inspector general showed living individuals with active social securities born before the civil war and only 35 people worldwide are 112 and old. and we're here about the social security administration about accurate information about who is alive or dead and however that -- what should be an extremely concerning to us is that an inaccurate death data may lead to improper payments by many other agencies across the government and also creates greater vulnerability for fraud and identity theft. we'll hear more about this problem and opportunities for solutions from today's witnesses. i want to make clear my view that the administration deserves credit for the initiatives to curb waste and fraud as general mader will describe and we have to use more

. >> is that when you went to the social security administration? >> again issue had already been. >> several times. >> yes sir. >> and they told you repeatedly you're okay. >> each time. >> but it was clear you were not okay as every time you turned out you were being given inaccurate information, even though you were going into the office. >> correct. >> thank you. >> miss rivers, thank you for your testimony. i think every member of this committee offers an apology and certainly our commitment we'll work with the people in the agencies to try and create law create legislation that will prevent this from happening to another american. so, thank you again for your testimony. you're dismissed. thank you. >>> our next witness will be sean bruin. he joins us today from the social security administration where he serves as a senior adviser for audit in the office of budget finance quality. mr. bruin. >> thank you chairman johnson, members of the committee. thank you for inviting me to discuss steps to strengthen the integrity of federal payments. i am

for social security. now, the fact is that for many, many years in a variety of ways my republican colleagues have been tempting to either cut social security or in the extreme case, privatize social security and allow -- force americans to go to wall retirement benefits. and while this budget does not include a provision to cut social security, what i will say is if my memory is correct that in three out of the four hearings held by the budget committee that there were republican representatives, people who were asked to testify who did talk about various ways to cut social security. so what this amendment does, it establishes a deficit-neutral reserve fund, a budget point of order ... it establishes a budget point of order which prevents benefit cuts a raise in the retirement age or the privatization of social security benefits. that is what it does. now, you can hear a lot of people coming up here and say well, we want to preserve social security. what they really mean is in order to preserve social se

last week, the social security inspector general released reports of 6 million people have active social security numbers that based on social security's on workers would be more than 112 years old. maybe in our country, with had a handful of people live that long. we are told their kobe 6.5 million people. i am not sure where there are. -- we are told that there are 6.5 million people. [indiscernible] it shows people born before the civil war. only 35 people worldwide are 112 years or older. we will hear from the social security administration about accurate administration -- information about who is alive or dead. an accurate death data may lead to in improper payments across government increase greater vulnerability for fraud. we will learn more about this in today's witness. my administration -- in my view is of administration deserves a lot of credit. we needed to do more. they use every tool to put our fiscal house back in order. it is the right thing to do. i often think of the preamble of the constitution about a perfect union. in this area, we should strive for perfection. every

we have an examination of social issues with neurological bases and broad social logical effects. tonight, we consider aggressive and -- aggression, and the social application of violence. we live in an aggressive world. we are routinely confronted with violence in the form of murder war, genocide. but aggression can protect us from threats to our safety. problems arise when aggression is taken too far and becomes violence. neuroscientists are working with the transmitters that produce aggressive impulses. a remarkable group of scientists dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of aggression are here. they are david anderson of the california institute of technology, richard remley of the university of montreal and adrian raine of the university of pennsylvania, and once again my cohost, dr. eric kendell. he is a nobel laureate, a professor at columbia university, and a howard hughes medical investigator. i am pleased to have all of them here. eric: wonderful to have you here. this is our third series. in the first series, we can littered the normal brain. in the second series, we c

or social support. but aside from that, one of the mechanisms that i have been studying is this idea that if you you recognize the fact that your experiences of trauma and victimization are similar to what others are experiencing or have experienced or will experience in the future that sense of similarity with other groups' victimization what i call inclusive victim consciousness can contribute to the more pro social path. when people think their experiences are unique and distinct, that no one else has suffered in this way on a group level or as an individual, that makes the violence or destructive response more likely because of the need to defend-- defend and protect one's self. >> rose: let's talk about how this is related to mental illness. >> so a lot of people think aggression is more prevalent in people with mental illness. and the fact is that mental illness on its own does not increase the rate of aggression. it's more likely to occur in individuals with substance abuse, independence, and oth

van holland relating to social security. >> mr. van holland is recognized for two minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman. this amendment is straightforward. the budget resolution presented by republican colleagues has some language to establish a process that could fast-track social security proi posals, that could privatize social security. what this does is recognize that social security's a program that benefits more than 59 million americans. currently. that, as more americans do not have access to defined benefit retirement plans, social security benefits become even more important now than they were before. and it says very simply that we should not be cutting social security benefits, and i yield time to my colleague mr. passkrel from new jersey. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i support the amendment. i'm very disappointed this seeks to manufacture a crisis in the social security disability trust fund by prohibiting routine transfers. social security and ssdi are critical lifelines for the elderly and the disabled. they are not an

a comment was that the social security number is only for social security and nothing else.et, i get on the phone for utilities, and they want my social security. one phone company refused to make a change to my account without the social security number. exactly what is the extent of use of the social security number of? is it possible for others to use it as an id? guest: this goes way back. originally, you are correct. the social security number was established only for the purpose of managing social security retirement, and disability payments. however, because it is a unique identifier, it is considered to be fairly reliable when you combine it with name, date of birth, and ssn. over time, it entities have chosen to use it to validate the information that folks are providing and who they are dealing with. over time, it has grown to be something much more than a vehicle for managing retirement and disability benefits. it has become very important for the private sector to validate who they are facing. they key here is that you don't have to provide your ssn to these enti

social norms are one of those.en you need some change to get the wall and acted as a political matter but it is one component of achieving that social norm and it can actually be an interactive synergistic component. let's think about the framework in the context of the antidiscrimination provision that is included in the civil rights act of 1964. as many of you may know the civil rights act when it was introduced to didn't include a success termination provision that only included employment on the basis of race, color natural religion and origin. those of you heard the presentation yesterday there was a myth that congress had never dealt with were never even thought about the issue of sex discrimination and it was added on the house floor by a congressman who simply wanted to kill the bill. there are some elements of truth but mostly it is completely wrong as it was intuitive to yesterday and by the way when i tried to track down the first time this came up i think it came from a paragraph in a harvard law review

origins, social distinctions, social hierarchy on a way that america is not. by the same token i think it's interesting looking at america from the standpoint of britain, that it is a country which has a sense of guilt about race, which on the whole the british don't have. maybe they should have but they don't. i think americans do. because of slavery, because of the civil war, because of reconstruction. and that is certainly something that strikes one coming to this country. on the other hand, of course it's now true in the aftermath of the british empire that britain has back multicultural country in the way it wasn't when i was growing up and a large component of that mess is people who have come to britain from what used to be the empire and that is clearly given rise to a great number of problems and issues which are by no means fully resolved. maybe they can't but though i hope they can. on the other hand it is interesting that noodles are century -- nowdays there are surveys which suggest london is the most successful multicultural city in the world, mo

stopped getting social security? why does that not trigger something if not picking up your mail is enough to get you on the list. once they stopped receiving social security checks, we can probably assume they're no longer alive? >> the interesting part is that many of these were back in the 1970s when people were coming into ssa offices and saying a person who wasn't getting benefits at the time, a family member or a widow or children or dependents like that that's where a lot of these records were created. the person didn't have a benefit from ssa wasn't of record with ssa, and that's pretty much the crux of a lot of these thing ss there are old records with ssa having little ability to catch it. >> because they were not receiving a check to begin with? is that why it's the 112-year-old figure? what's the difference between 105, 110? is there something about 112? >> we had gotten word from a financial institution that the two accounts were set up which is in my testimony, but anyway, at that point we just started,

we will have a talk about social security. when darlene wanted to go to college, i just gotten started in the air force and college loans were there for her. if it were not for college loans program -- college loan programs, my sister would not have gone to college. i am a proud republican, that we are one car wreck away from needing someone to help us. most of us. all i can tell you is that life is challenging. you will eventually get a curveball coming your way. as i try to serve the people of south carolina and think about going to the next level i want to make sure that if you are knocked down in this country, you have a chance to get back up. the goal of getting you back up is getting you a job and a rewarding career, not to keep you on the couch. what i learned as a young man growing up in a rural part of south carolina is i don't take much for granted. when it is all said and done and we are in our last days, if you are lucky to live a long life and died around the ones you love you are not going to think about bills in

you die but you have paid into social security, your survivors get social security. it is insurance for the family. i don't think any american works and pays into social security and says, ah, i only want my money to go into retirement. or i know i'm in a risky job. i only want my much to go into disability. in fact, 11 times this congress, not this congress today, but congress with administrations over the years whatever the administration has been, we work to make sure we always have the money allocated for the disability side of social security, the survivor side of insurance for social security or the retirement side of social security. but all of a sudden we see a crisis being manufactured by those who say of the $3 trillion social security has in its trust fund, that none can be made available for americans who worked hard or became disabled for their families. eleven times over the years congress with administration, has worked to make sure -- we always make sure the money in the trust fund goes out to those americans who worked and paid into the osdi fund so

we're seeing increased interest in social media advertising.with ad age our fifth survey of approximately 1,000 advertisers, marketers, digital ad agency representatives, 75% plan to increase their spend with social media in 2015, we continue to see rising interest for a group as the whole, not evenly but the group as a whole. >> interestingly the poll sur y surveys marketing executives with budgets from under $500,000 to above $100 million. i'm wondering how you see the breakdown where people are getting the most bang for their buck and higher end, do they have the budgets to experiment across the board? >> so, you know, two points here. one i think social media, digital and internet long left many years ago, the experimental phase. i think social media left the experimental phase of ad budgets, at least facebook, left that about two years ago and now you are seeing people look at them as a really relatively competitive roi channel. one of the most interesting results of the survey for us is google is the highest recorded roi channel on-line.

security proposals that could privatize social security cuts, social security benefits. what this legislation does is recognize that social security is a program that benefits more than 59 million americans currently, that as more americans do not have access to benefit plans, social security benefits become even more important than they were before. it says very simply that we should not be cutting social security benefits. i yield a time to my colleague from new jersey. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i support the amendment and i am disappointed that this budget resolution seeks to manufacture a crisis in the social security disability trust fund by prohibiting transfers. social security is critical lifeline for the elderly and the disabled. they are not an entitlement. you pay in over your lifetime. they are not in crisis. they do not add to our debt. i am proud to cosponsor the social security act that extends solvency beyond the 75 year window and increases benefits. it does all this without raising the retirement age or privatization which i will never vote for. i yie

liberal or fiscally responsible and socially tolerant. and of those people i think our broadly libertarian. if you think in general the government should be smaller in the economy and in government they should leave people of poland and their personal lives than whatever details in this book you might not get and be ready to accept that means you are essentially a libertarian. so one of my goals with the book is to help those people understand that they are not on the red team or the blue team. they are part of the broad libertarian constituency and i say i actually had some statistical evidence for that data. the cato institute published various studies under the theme. the gallup poll for some years now once a year asked people to questions. do you think the government should be involved in promoting traditional values or is it the role of the government to promote any set of values and another question about do you think the government should do more to solve social problems or is that best left to the private sector? so they classify
