the corner and pull themselves through the keyhole of a pay model online, it is going to fall to starbucks could in baltimore, in san jose, any of these cities that are underserved is going to work. i think you'll be able to hire the cream of the bought out, laid off crop of journalists. if you are committed to putting the money back in, i think you will grow it. if you do the math of six, seven, $8 a month for 10%, 15% of newspapers prior subscription base was and realize that all of that money is now profit, not circulation costs. circulation was a cost center. that has been transformed. on a small scale basis where everybody is committed to just covering the regional area, there is no room for -- a lot of things are not relevant anymore to the local paper. the comex, the crossword puzzle, national coverage. but there is still a market in these regional areas for journalism. ultimately, it will be and non- profit or a very modest profit. somebody needs to say that 5% or sick % growth is ok. nobody said that for many years. nobody stood up and said what we doing to our own ambitions? here

bailing out aig, citigroup, chrysler, and gm, maybe next week we could get around to bailing out starbucks. if they like that as an economic policy, this is the program for them. the republicans say no more bailing out financial institutions. before reserve could make liquidity available to the economy, but quit picking winners and losers, quit putting that on future generations that -- quit putting debt on future generations that could never pay it back. caller: mr. hensarling, i was watching you in sessions on this bill, what they tried to get through the house, and still i do not think it has passed yet. i believe it was 17-5, doing away with these type loans. now, this is not -- how many millions of homes have been repossessed because the house payments start off with $400 a month and went to 900. now, if i'm going to rob a bank, i will go to jail. if miami banker, i can put out these type of loans where i take -- if i am a banker, i can put out these types of loans or i take the money from the american people. keeping them in force, keeping these predatory loans in force. i do not und

the safeways, the starbucks, the costcos, the connecticut pitney-bowes. a lot of wonderful examples of very well run corporations that do a lot. obviously, thousands of businesses out there. so and so says i have a wellness program. what is your wellness precinct? what your doing? i think we want to have some standard other than a declaration as a standard. that's why having a step back before you rush to the 50% and someone just declaring it to be such that you have some ability to make a judgment. and what's a smaller employer as opposed to a -- you have a whole facility. pitney-bowes has facilities on site for its employees. not every employer than do that. but they may have a different idea of a wellness program that will serve their employees in a way that would allow them to encourage that kind of behavior. i think we want to have some taking a step back, other than just branding something being a wellness program. but i'm very encouraged by this program. i think we can really do something worth while in this area. i urge us to spend some time and s

put your tip in cash because the workers are more likely to get it, and you know those lookups at starbucks and duncan donuts? don't assume they will get it either because there are major lawsuits out against both of those companies for taking some of those workers gets. and then there are the day laborers who work all day and don't get paid at all. so these are the major ways, but i have to tell you that every time i think i've heard it all in terms of workers not getting paid, i hear a new story. i heard the story not just a couple months ago about henries turkey service in abilene texas that recruited folks up for a work in a turkey plant in iowa. they recruited mentally disabled man to work in this turkey plant, ship them off to iowa, house them in old rundown schoolhouse that didn't have a heater that worked. and iowa is a little like chicago. we need leaders in winter. so they blocked up the windows to try and keep the heat in the place, and then they deducted $500 a month for room and board, and another $600 a month for kind care resulting in these workers working full-time at a turk

i spent an inordinate amount of time at starbucks and i was having a meeting there, and a slightly older gentleman came up to me, academic looking, smiled, held out his hand, i stood up -- he said i think we met a birthday party. i said, nice to see you. i anticipated would say something about the paper because people have vocal views. he said you are doing a terrible disservice to your readers. you are besmirching your uncle's reputation by taking book world out of the newspaper. i was like, -- for those of you, we took up the book world section and put the content and the rest of the paper. it was cost-saving -- trying to preserve the content. but people really care about their products. it was a consumer product -- it is a consumer product at the end of the day. i was on one of the people movers from dulles airport after the democratic convention, and i love this, we got off its plan and there was a woman with her mother there, and the first thing she did when she got the plane was spend $1.50 to buy a copy of open "the washington post." i said, love that. i figured i would watch her.
