we need to act sooner rather than later. in closing, this is not just about numbers. this is about people. my children, my grandchildren, and yours. this is about the future of the united states of am#í@ ? good afternoon, everybody. we just heard about the unsustainable fiscal situation in which we find ourselves at this point in the 21st century. creating solutions to this enormous problem is an absolute imperative. bob bixby pointed out that the aging of america is one important factor in analyzing and dealing with this dilemma. when i was the ceo of aarp, i was given a talk once in kentucky. obama and razor head and said, did you know that women live longer than men? -- f-bomb and raised her hand and said, did you know that women live longer than men? she said, what are you going to do about it? what i am going to talk about is the critical need to reduce our long-term debt crisis for today's and tomorrow's older generations. fixing the problem of annual deficits and stabilizing federal debt must be done in tandem with major social needs. among those needs is a sec

and we should act sooner rather than later. because the longer we wait to act, the greater the chances have to be. we need to make decisions sooner so that the miracle of compounding can work for us rather than against us as it is now. this shows you how much you would have to cut federal spending if you waited till these various dates. these percentages are totally unrealistic. this shows you how much you would have to rai fedal taxes if you wanted to solve the problem through taxes. and these percentages are totally unrealistic. so, yes, everything has to be on the table. we need to act sooner rather than later. we need to achieve a grand bargain. in closing, this is not just about numbers. this is about people. my children, my grandchildren, and yours. this is about the future of the united states of america. this is about the future of our families. america is at a critical crossroads. the decisions that are made or failed to be made within the next 3 to 5 years will largely determine whether our best years are behind us or

no, we don't need to die sooner. host: i just want to ask you, if the numbers hold up going into 2010, how is that going to affect this administration or any other easy ability to try and get more people working and grow the job ranks? guest: it looks like the 30,000 foot level. we need to grow the economy. we have to get back more than 10 million jobs to catch up to where we are the second challenge is to reign in the short-term deficits. then we are left with these long term structure problems to a large degree created by the healthcare issues. there is some disagreement on how we ultimately face the healthcare issue. healthcare by it self is a fairly complex issue. you expect them all to be brain surgeons and financial wizards. you ask only push so far. you ultimately really need to create more transparency and mp

but the message from greece is sooner or later the reckoning does come. host: what is your assessment of how washington has been responding officially? the president who has occupied the seat on pennsylvania avenue in this building behind me, this increasing concern? we seem to continue to spend, although we keep hearing about the perils of building up our debt. so what is happening politically that the response has been what it has? guest: the response has been entirely consistent -- which is, let us put it off. it is republicans, it is democrats. the republicans like to cut taxes but they don't want to cut spending. the democrats would increase spending but they don't want to increase taxes. you basically have a consensus even though there is an awful lot of rhetoric, but a consensus among practical politicians that they don't want to do anything unpleasant for their constituencies. it is understandable but the point is sooner or later, if you do so -- to much of that, evade these problems too long, there will be a reckoning and it will be imposed by th

how do we incorporate the contractors sooner in the process? i think that leads to huge waste. if we will not incorporate them sooner, we should be able to toss in riyadh -- reevaluate what we have asked them to do. i'm going to let you all -- >> i do not have a question to ask. i think you, commissioner. i have focused on what i am focused on it. i will just tell you. i could not support -- and i realize, general, you offered a discussion on the dcma and i will come at you on that. i understand the totals are do. they do not do them at the last minute. -- i understand the totals are due. we're talking about life support. charles, the professor may be corrected. it may be the incumbent that is low in cost and highest quality. there have an 11:00 p.m. executions. it is impossible. i apologize for not seeing this earlier -- >> what can you support? >> i cannot support suddenly having a decision on the side without looking at the proposals on logcap four and saying that miss and -- mission essentials dictate this. we would like to look at those essentials in a very short period of

you can fool around with this government but sooner or later 51% will vote to exploit 2 other 49, sooner or later people will lose their sense of self-reliance and discipline that democracy requires. so we'd better find out i personally am optimistic. in my job, i don't bring these national topics up, but i'm out all the time visiting with hoosiers and i get asked now and then. and when i say to people that why should we send a pension check to warren buffet, why should we pay for bill gates' health care? it doesn't make any common sense to them. they're prepared to make those kind of changes. when i say to people why don't we bifurcate these systems and provide total protection for everybody who is currently or in the next x years going to benefit but have a new compact for the younger people who are going to pay all the bills that they can afford? this doesn't strike people as radical. tens of millions of americans are already in that situation. here in indiana we had a teachers retirement plan. eventually the act wary said it was unsustainable. it was kept in place for the existing be

the sooner we start to talk about this in an open way, the sooner we can convince people in congress that they can talk about it and not be afraid to talk about it and the sooner we can move toward a regime with self auditing systems, however it is going to work. part of it is, as one example -- auditing technology exists, but without the demand for it it will not be -- the level at which the technology increases and sophistication to the point where you can self audit trusted analysts in real time, you will not get there. there are absolutely direct consequences to not talking about the cyber debate. people are afraid to mention the words nsa. the big irony -- this is something that jim lewis will point out -- is that the only people in the broad arena of cyber who really do not have a good sense of what the united states' capacities are is the american people. the chinese know. russia knows. sophisticated crackers know what the nsa can and does do. they know the technology. they know what is possible. they know what government is doing. at some point, you are not keeping secrets fr

sooner or later, monopolies attract regulation. if you do not believe that, as the insurance companies who spent decades sheltered by laws that prevent interstate competition and exemption from the antitrust laws. lookit to where they got. if they have their premiums regulated as if there were public utilities. there would have been better off and bracing competitive structures. there are grey areas, no question. regulation might enhance monopoly power. regulators may see the people they see as clients to be protected from competition. there might even be some corruption. i have not seen, i would not say any but i have not seen significantly large number of cases of corruption. i have not seen a kind of corruption that other countries see when they have direct regulation. the closest i ever came was in new york city, the taxicab fares are regulated and mayor koch asked me to head a commission to redo taxing regulation. i had several bright ideas about how to do this like charging more during peak periods. what i did not realize thi

this will have to be addressed sooner or later. this is not something we can address now, especially with the prospect of thousands of strategic nuclear weapons removed to storage in line with the new treaty. both from the legal point of view and from the technical point of view, tactical nuclear weapons would be a very serious problem. to give you one example, russia has about 3000 tactical nuclear weapons. i do not know where this figure comes from. i could never find out.

sooner or later, sooner rather than later, you have to say who you're going to side with when this comes to voting for leadership. from the first moment he announces as an independent. if elected, i will vote with the republicans. and therefore, there will be two republican candidates for senator, in this general election coming up in november. which does probably give a shot to a very difficult candidate, a long shot by the democrat. because he can just be the democrat, hold that base, and hope that charlie crist can get a big chunk of republicans, right? >> that's right. what did joe lieberman do? joe lieberman basically made the case that he was going to be with the democrats. and then, the national republican party didn't have a serious candidate in that race. and between mccain and a couple of other people, they sent the message to republicans in connecticut, you know what, it's okay to be for lieberman, we're kind of for lieberman, too, even if it means he's voting for the democrats. so lieberman dropped enough hints that he would, because he had the chairmanship that he could get.

will cool capabilities, and one of my of fortune job is to speed up this process so that they arrive sooner rather than later. let me turn to the second call i think is achievable, and that is covert action. covert action is an essential component of national power that we as a nation need to strive to get right. this is a second achievable goal in five years. let me give you the bottom line of front assessment. when it comes to the activities in which the hand of the u.s. government must be hidden, we must in knowledge it has changed in fundamental ways. there are many more tools available to attack problems in areas of the world where previously only covert action could be applicable. secrecy over time is now much more difficult than the past. national consensus on national security issues has diminished with the end of the overarching threat of the cold war. my vision for covert action is that it should be an important component of an overall integrated government approach involving the military, economic, actions all integrated to the same goal. the recommendations can only be discussed
