the sooner that starts, we did not get into that until november. did it -- if that happened in june or july, so much the better. you get the point. i think we're on the same page. >> any other future trends, a the next piece is the outreach of the taskforce considering specific strategies to engage public housing who are otherwise not involved. organizations the face challenges. that was an addition. if anybody has -- >> i have the understanding that i was going to submit something on this particular section. i did and i e-mailed it to you. >> under recommendations? >> under community outreach recommendations. there it is. >> if you send it to me at the last minute, -- >> i do not now. i guess i misunderstood the instructions. i looked at this and thought it was a vague and general. >> it was sent this morning. >> i sent it in the middle of the night. >> i wanted to, on this, previously i also submitted something about, which i thought would go into the first part, about our process, what did we do? i submitted something that we tried to reach the

a recommendation to form the task force sooner. >> as a point of information, it would require a charter amendment to change the timing. there are timing constraints. the board has 60 days. realistically, within the current charter constraints, the task force could meet a month earlier. no more. it might be helpful to clarify whether you're talking about a charter amendment. >> what if we said as soon as possible? mr. pilpel? >> rather than say the task force should consider, i think we should say the city should consider a charter amendment to start the process sooner or the city should consider whether the task force should have the opportunity to select the consultant and discuss the scope of work versus having that happen. the part of it is not a recommendation to the next task force, it is to the city. poor example, the charter says -- for example, the charter says it could be changed to provide 30 more days in total. as an example. >> just to keep it simple, i would say it's we're going to do -- if we're going to do additional time, that we do not kid into the minutia of what that

one can debate the question of, should we have done more sooner? there's the question of, what it is exactly that we could have done more sooner. you know, there was an effort made where, that i think was right, to realize that we ourselves were unlikely to have the kind of credibility that others there, people on the street, basically, who looked to us as being a symbol of change. we were too associate ford too long with the mubarak regime to have that kind of credibility. i can also tell you that i had -- i spoke to a number of egyptians who basically were saying, what does the united states know about transitions? you know? hungary knows, poland knows something about transitions. indonesia knows something about transitions, but when did you have your transition? and one of the things we did try to focus early on, was not just working with the eu but working with a number of those countries that had had transitions to see if we could develop what were a common set of themes that we all would be using, because that would have a greater likelihood

my guess is in the three to five-year range they've got ten to do it sooner rather than later especially since the government already spent the proceeds and there is an enormous demand for the spectrum to fulfill all of our demands on the devices we are packing around so the sooner the better. my guess is three to five years as we were talking to set up the actual auction of the peace process and broadcast through >> when will we see the results of the spectrum auction, another ten years after -- >> no, i think given the demand at least as you hear from the carriers as soon as available they will be trying to put it into use, and it is dependent on the economy and everything else. >> another thing that the house particularly is looking at is the reform. what is the status of that and what are you looking for in that bill? >> i appreciate question. it's something i worked on with four or five hearings over the year. we put out everything that a ready that have an id with wanted to do we put in a concept draft bill we put out there and used the public process to have hearings and what peop

its disability trust fund will run dry in 2016, two years sooner than expected. that shortfall will be covered by social security's separate retirement trust fund for a while though both will now be depleted by 2033. >> it will put these programs on a sounder financial footing for the future. >> reporter: mitt romney is making the case the president has had over three years to build that consensus. >> when they had a soup anterior majority in the house and the senate and the white house, what did they do about social security and made care? >> reporter: on medicare, top administration officials touted better news, sort of. the trustees found medicare is going broke in 2024 that. dire prediction is unchanged from last year giving the white house another chance to tee off on republican house chairman paul ryan's plan to change medicare. >> we will not shift the cost of health care to seniors in order to suspect tape tax cuts for the most fortunate americans. >> reporter: pressure is building on the president over charges medicare is wasting $8 billion a your on a n

so the sooner the better. my guess is you're talking 3-5 years as tony and i were talking, you've got to set up the actual incentive auction piece and process. >> host: when will we see the results of that spectrum auction then? another ten years after? >> guest: no, i think given the demand at least as you hear from the carriers, as soon as it's available i think they're going to be trying to put it into use. it's dependent on the economy and, you know, everything else. >> host: another thing that the house particularly is looking at is fcc reform. >> guest: yes. >> host: there's an fcc reform bill. what is the status of that, and what are you looking for in that bill? >> guest: i appreciate the question, peter, it's something i've worked on, we've had four or five hearings over the last year. we put everything out there, everybody that had any idea what they wanted to do with the fcc, we put it o out there in a concept draft bill. that's a good idea, but you need to do it this way. and we really refined it d

[applause] imad automotive technician. i have worked at several dealerships around milwaukee. i love the automotive industry. i know your dad was heavily involved in it. with the person that is currently in the white house kind of waging a small war on cars by requiring them to get certain fuel economy and with ethanol and stuff, i'm wondering what you are going to be able to -- i know you made your plans to do everything -- but what you would be able to do to help, number one, sales of cars go back up from where they are right now. they are all down because of his effect on the economy. i wonder what you can do for small businesses. things of that nature. my wife owns her own small business and they are struggling -- my wife's mother owns a small business, and they are struggling under the things that obama has done.

it could be that outside events such as a crisis overseas will drive us to coming together sooner than we might otherwise do. i hope that's not the case, but certainly that could happen. i would certainly be open to reaching conclusion as soon as possible, but i recognize what many have observed, that it is unlikely that we will reach agreement until after the election. i think that's just reality. if you look at the original simpson/bowles proposal, it was designed to be voted on right after the 2010 election. it was designed because there was a recognition it was unlikely there would be an agreement right before an election. it may be that democrats and republicans can only come together when we are closer to the circumstance of all the tax cuts expiring and the sequester staring us in the face, so my own sense is we're going to have to give a period here for negotiations and discussions. i think we need to educate. i think we need to hopefully get people focused again on the need for a long-term plan. let me just conclude by saying the fact is we have spending limitations in place f

so i don't know that he could have done it any sooner than he did. yes. >> the question concerns the profits from the confederate blockade runners. were they typically invested in the south and at the end of the war, did some build fortunes overseas and the real question here, did any of this contribute to the post war reconstruction of the south? >> that's a complicated question. the short version of -- certainly during the period when entrepreneurs were making decisions about blockade running and what to bring and what to do, it was entirely their money. they did with it what they liked. apparently according to descriptions in the "richmond enquirer" they suited themselves up nicely and pranced around downtown richmond. but there was no fund, early on, that that money should go to the benefit of the war effort. or that it should establish credits overseas for the purchase of -- of weapons and other materiel. which is exactly why the confederate government felt that it needed to get involved in this. not only did it require certain percentages of th

everyone gets medical care sooner or later. requiring insurance is just a way to make sure that other people don't foot the bill. justice scalia didn't seem to buy this. >> how do you define the market that broadly? health care. it may well be that everybody needs health care sooner or later, but not everybody needs a heart transplant. not everybody needs a liver transplant. >> that's correct. you never know -- >> can you define a market that everybody has to buy food sooner or later, so you define a market as food, therefore, everybody is in the market. therefore, you can make people buy broccoli. >> that's a little bit of how it went. in fact, just minutes after that court session ended, cmn's jeffrey tubin came literally running down the steps with this. >> this was a train wreck for the obama administration. this law looks like it's going to be struck down. i'm telling you, all of the predictions, including mine, that the justices would not have a problem with this law were wrong. >> according to our latest cnn poll, the co

much sooner than we have a draft report. the process was that we wanted to get something together quickly to warn the administrator and others so that they can stop further waste. we did that quickly, and did it in may, 2011. it took a long time to nail down the facts, each -- every possible way. and we got a final report to her in february. she requested an extension of an extra 30 days. you know, i -- you know, we -- i'm happy to talk with you about when we should bring these reports to you. these are sensitive reports. they do contain what we view as criminal conduct. >> and i appreciate the criminal conduct, and obviously one of the concerns we have is we need to know from a reform standpoint from an oversight standpoint earlier, not later. i'll say this on the record to you, but, in fact, to all the igs, 70-plus and all the people that work for them. it's my intention to work with the ranking member to produce a guidance letter from this committee that would spell out an expectation. if that expectation, which is order

the same amount of time the start sooner. i think there are ways to accomplish it. i think including some language about our lessons learned is good. i would favor keeping some modified language. member mondejar: i would recommend we retain this. it seems to me that the next task force would want to find out what we've learned from our process. i vote for us to retain this with the recommendatioion -- recommended suggestions. we spend time listening to the previous task force. i would have loved to look at some things that i could learn from and think about. member lam: as i said, i would not move forward with a recommendation for this particular section. member melara: i am not necessarily in favor of extending the time that i would not mind telling the city that time was a factor in us not doing certain things. the plan fell through -- we did not have time to hire the right consultants. the city has a process. unfortunately, time was an issue. while it may not require the task force to meet for 10 months, it may require some people to get together and put this in

relieved the developer of inclusion ary housing and i supported that legislation and i think sooner people realize this is not going to work for them because of rent control and the sooner we can focus on building in the mid market area, they can be leased out to a number of smaller institutions the previous speaker talked about. having students is great for the city in the economy but not at the cost of cannibalizing existing rent control housing. [tone] >> i have a comment to make about this proposed legislation. thank you very much for including the fact you are trying to protect residential dwellings from being converted into student dwelling. i wanted to point out the planning section at currently, under residential zoning, conditional use for post- secondary institutions using group housing definition and so far, what i have seen happening is a lot of apartment buildings. i know it is a landlord agreement as to how these buildings are going to be used. but even though they are all conditional use, it has not prevented the problem at all. i understand why this has been introduced, but

that is two years sooner than expected.hat short fall will be covered by social security retirement trust fund for a while but both trust funds will be depleted by 2033, three years earlier than projected. the projections in this we're's report are some what more pessimistic than last. these emphasize the reports on building consensus and reforms that put them on a sounder financial footing. >> top administration officials say there is some what better news out there that is the trustees found medicare has gone broke in 2024 which is only good news in the sense that dire prediction is unchanged from last year. the white house is taking aim at house republicans and budget chairman paul ryan's plan to change medicare. >>> well, part of why it hasn't worked yet is because republicans in congress refuse to accept the basic premise we need to take a balanced approach in the debt reduction. they are telling the american people through the republican budget that we need to dramatically cut taxes on the wealthyest americans dramati

what does this mean for your future and why are those funds running out sooner than expected?tt from national white house journal joins us. i know you've written about this and have talked about this. 2033 will be here before we know it. today's news makes it seem so ominous. why is this social security funding drying up faster than expected? >> it's one of the ripple effects of this prolonged economic recession. trustees for medicare and social security said not only is the economy not growing, hourly wages are falling and the hours worked by workers are also falling which means there are less taxable income to go into the social security system to fund future benefit payouts. when you have fewer hours, there's less tax revenue coming in which means solvency becomes an issue sooner. you talked about 2033. just so the audience understands, if congress does nothing about the current benefit and taxation structure for social security and that trust fund expires in 2033, instantly social security beneficiaries will see a 25% benefit cut. i don't mean over time. i mean instantly.

i think the environment where we can make the choices comes sooner rather than later. >> it's a very nice way to think about it. our reporter talks about investing in the commons. that's what you're getting at. on the flip side i have a brother who's worked as a small farmer and businessman. his government regulation is different than mine. he can tell you some horror stories of what it's like to operate with government. >> we can cut a lot of those without the social good aspect. >> we're just about out of time. >> it's hard to add much to the good recommendations that you've just heard. i guess the one dimension i might bring to the list though would be the temporal one. i think most of our leaders in government today and certainly our companies and our citizens understand very clearly that the global economic environment that we live in is quite different than the one that grew up in. and many of our international competitors, although, i think fundamentally have less sustainable and less humane forms of public sector organization in government do make decisions faster. one of the

if you bring someone out sooner, you get them on the trail, develop a message early in the spring, youteam, and you have a strong message against obama. so i think romney is very meticulous, he make look for a surprise earlier to have that effect. >> i couldn't agree more. copping up, another anti-business attack by organized labor, the nlrb gets clearance now for a ten-day in bush attack on business elections. incredible. union boss will face you have with bob lutz after the break. we'll debate the assault on business on kudlow report. i remember the day my doctor told me i have an irregular heartbeat, and that it put me at 5-times greater risk of a stroke. i was worried. i worried about my wife, and my family. bill has the most common type of atrial fibrillation, or afib. it's not caused by a heart valve problem. he was taking warfarin, but i've put him on pradaxa instead. in a clinical trial, pradaxa 150 mgs reduced stroke risk 35% more than warfarin without the need for regular blood tests. i sure was glad to hear that. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't ta

now, and it could be that outside events such as a crisis overseas will drive us to come together sooner than we might otherwise. i'd certainly be open to reaching conclusion sooner if that's possible, but i am a realist and i recognize the chances of that are slim. many have suggested will not be able to reach conclusion after after the election. it may be that all sides find it difficult to move off their fixed position before a national election. i wish that weren't the case, but it probably is the case. but we are going to have powerful, motivated factors pushing us towards resolution. the expiration, as i've indicated, of all the bush era tax cuts, and the potential imposition of the sequester. let's remember that the original fiscal commission panel was structured to have a vote after the 2010 election. it was structured that way for a reason. senator gregg an i believed that it was critically important to have the vote and the votes when there was the greatest prospect of actually getting a result. and we concluded the best chance was right after an election. that is what i am hop

not online, i don't have e-mail because i've been warned by computer gurus that if i did get it, sooner or later somebody would -- i would get a bug on that computer and loose the book. >> as long as we're talking about this because i assume you'll have the reaction and all of this, i have my hands on papers of collection for the library of congress and we've got video of your collection, you can see this on the screen. where is this over from the john paul rand story? >> i will eventually give these papers to the library as well. the papers i gathered in the course of writing this book. my personal papers went over to the library to be put with van's papers because when i wrote the vietnam book, i had all of john rand's papers. his family gave them to me. in exchange for a share of the film rights. >> can the public see this? >> oh, yes. all you have to do is go to the library of con >> esand the manuscript room and the reading room and it's all available. >> are the audiotapes from this collection and interviews? >> yes. 285 from the vietnam book. >> and how many from this book? >> we

the sooner we address it, the better. but i do want to make it clear that the social security trust fund as of now is solvent, projected to be solvent but the trustees 100% until that point. >> without addressing social security, though, what -- why should anyone really look at any of the budgets that are at play right now, as anything more than just political documents? >> well, unfortunately, for the purposes of this year, in other words, for action in congress through the remainder of this year, i think the parts of the budget tha potentially acted upon are really -- are the portions that deal with discretionary spending. through the appropriations committee process. and as i think a lot of people in this room now, part of the budget control act that we passed last year, which has $1 trillion over ten years in discretionary savings established these budget levels. including for this current fiscal year. at $1 trillion 47 billion for all the discretionary spending, spending on ongoing operations of government. unfortuna

i would encourage you to think about if we need it and if we can address this sooner rather than later. it might be necessary and a good idea, the staff is going on that direction. if we go through the process of negotiating in creating a contract, i think this will be the issue. maybe it is better to make that earlier on. the zero you will consider that and -- i hope that you will consider that and thank you for your time. >> communications, commissioners? the letter summary, the advanced calendar and a variety of staff reports. i think questions or comments about the staff report -- >> the first is waste water, page 6. i am sure i have seen this before, but what is the philosophy behind the late date that is 2025? >> and the director of the capital program for waste water. this is a tough project, we are currently still in the planning phase. when we are validating what is there, we would be putting about proposals to be able to pull and the consultant to the planning, the design, and to help us during the construction. when we talk this summer, we will be coming to you with the vali
