do we need to go about this on a state-by-state basis?the national approach, i agree entirely, it is too hard. we can't have the national risk-management conversation because we would never have consensus on that. what did you learn from your shifting of the paradigm? what have other states learned from that? >> i will go back to clear and consistent guidance. we actually have a little primer we developed with pictures that says the water is this high, it is minor. if it is this high, it is major, if it is that high, it is destroyed. what that did, we passed it out to our emergency management directors, give it to the new governor when he came in, governor strickland, what it did, it created a very clear measuring tool. and in fact, i use the example of the community with 60 homes, their director recognized, as difficult as it was for him to have to tell his citizens they didn't meet the guidelines, he iew what they were, and he understood it and was able to convey it. ablic assistance is a fairly easy criteria for us to meet at state lev

lincoln then goes and appoints seward his secretary of state. so also the seasoned hillary lost out to a newcomer from illinois and obama appointed her secretary of state. but almost everything else is different today. the secretary of state was once the unrivaled architect of american foreign policy, but now he or she competes with the secretary of defense, the national security adviser, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and others who make up the far flung levels of america's imperial administration. the state department was once across the street from the white house. but as the white house staff grew, the department moved in the 1950s into its own building, perhaps aptly named foggy bottom. dean arch son said distance wouldn't matter much since the secretary was bound to be the chief adviser to the president. it didn't turn out to be true and over the last 40 years, often the secretary of state has been something of a figure head, while the national security adviser has become the personal strategist and chief diplomat of the preside

the state or come from jalisco, the state. these are people who have migrated to build a better future for their families. all of them, or most of them, have enormously contributed to the american society and the american economy and it is unthinkable to see that the u.s., the main power, the main economic power in the world, disvalues the contribution of mexican laborers and workers. this is not only a good will statement. during our meeting, we handed the delegation the benefits of north america and why the mexican population represents in terms of the population of the united states. the only way to have sustained progress throughout the north american region, especially, is for allowing for the natural economic processes so immigration can happen, this implies the labor mobility that cannot be determined by mandate or decree. this is what we have underscored with president obama during this meet to keep on invoking the protection for the mexican laborers, whatever their migration conditions are in the united states and our

i was already there in the united states. that had been sent practically the ink dried on the declaration of independence. and xico, i think the stresses of the war in a postwar period finally create a mexican national identity, which revolves around by the way i interpret your waterloo than, who revealed to an indian that you look like an indian, but in early 1820s tooker over because she supposedly represented them. they were, with their white spanish catholic heritage and they were born in mexico. but by the end. and i have the thing right describe this change, but the way the war, the treaty was signed, they were trying to hold onto their power at the top. and they were willing to give away half their country just to stay there. they had more troops at the end of 1848 out fighting their own people in these rebellions and ever put in the field in united states. and the ones who are rising up and a few indians like torres, get the idea maybe we could do a little better, and at the end of this one chapter i say the virgin wa

we benefit indirectly from monday that the state's debt. -- money that the state's debt. -- get.here is very little that actually will come to a local level. for the most part, in my county, we have yet to receive a dollar. that is not entirely a terrible thing. if we have not received the dollar but we will receive directly about $9 million. in a county with a $1 billion budget, that is not a huge amount. it is not that it will not be helpful. people are working today in our county who might not because of the money we know will come. we're not gonna check if that is okay, things are happening. the fact of the check has not arrived does not mean that it is not working. because you know the check will arrive, it affects people who are employed. it is true that it had a limited ability to help us with our budget debacle to this past spring for some of the reasons that mr. bosworth said bret it takes too long to get going and it is too small. it is not too flexible, especially at the local level. that is a bigger problem when people are willing to pay you to buy buses but not to pa

s 50 states. they must compete head-to-head, and justify whatever money they get. >> this competition will not be based on politics, or ideology, or the preferences of a particular interest group. instead, it will be based a simple principle. whether a state is ready to do what works. >> question: president obama has an education reform package. does it foster competition between the states? or facilitate federal control over education? pat buchanan. >> it will do both. i mean the states will compete for the federal money expect that will give the federal government a whip hand here. but john this is a drop in the ocean. 4 to $5 billion in terms of the enormous education budget, state, local, federal we have got right now. george bush's no child left behind. i'm a bit of a cynic but test scores have been dropping since 1964 in this country. sometimes up a little bit. basically the trend line is down. the collapse of the family, the culture has affected this. you know, -- from kids coming to school

and that is the states -- these states running out of money.e see any impact with regard to those unemployment rates because almost every state is going through a lot of problems right now. and i'm just wondering, what do we see there? >> the recent trend is they're starting to lose jobs. for a while, state governments were hovering around no job growth, no job loss. so the last three months, we've averaged -- government averaged declining 6,000 jobs a month. so it seems like the employment at the state government level has worsened a witt. >> i see my time has run out. thank you. >> thank you chairman. and commissioner, i was just reading the report here. we have the stock gain -- this is as of two minutes ago. stocks gained early friday after the government, that's you, commissioner hall, reported a surprise drop in the unemployment rate and a smaller number of job cuts than expected raising hopes that the economy is stabilizing. the dow jones industrial average gained now 75 points. the s&p 500 rose now 7.3 and the nasdaq composite added 14

now moving at a more stately pace through the streets of the capit capitol. senator kennedy has not been there much at all in the last year, obviously. he was there for the inauguration, made one or two other brief visits, spent most of his time either in florida or family compound in high yannisp being treated here in the boston area. he had a particularly virulent form of brain cancer, a tumor that, as one expert said, there's just not a hell of a lot that you can do. that's a direct quote. and at the moment that he was diagnosed, he knew that it was not a good end game for him. they did, obviously, go through treatment. but, in fact, the chances of survival were going to be very slim, indeed. the irony is that ted kennedy was one of the original promoters of the war on cancer, which was begun during the nixon administration. he was one of those who believed that we should begin to find a way to wipe out cancer. health has always been an important component of his political and public life. it's been true, as well, in the mental health services. his family

regulation, state to state?ld that have occurred if we had a federal regulator in place or do you see any difference? >> the unfortunate reality in any capitalist economy is that companies will fail. companies -- insurance companies led by individuals with ethical or a lack of ethics are companies that are more likely to encounter cash flow problems and ultimately suffer the demise -- the demise similar to reliance. a federal regulator would not have assisted or prevented that solution. i'm not familiar with the holding company challenges at reliance. the individual insurance company -- those challenges occur and they have occurred for decades in the insurance industry. as soon as we learn of them, we place the company in receivership. the policyholders are protected. because the capital requirements we impose on companies is so significant, the shortfall at the end of the day for the guarantee system is relatively nominal, and we in that guarantee system is also intended to protect the consumers. >> i thank you

that is particularly true in the united states.t was done here deray pentagon cover, as long as the cutting age of high-tech industry advanced economy was electronics based, depending on-- and in recent years to look at government spending is the shifting more towards the health oriented institutions of the government. that is a reflection of the fact that the cutting edge of the economy is becoming more biology base. that includes computers, the internet, satellites, most of the rest of the i.t. revolution that finally exploded in the late 90's in a tech bubble, but also much else, civilian aircraft and advanced machine tools, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and a lot more. the crucial role of the state in economic development should be kept in mind when we read these days dire warnings about government intervention in the financial system after private management has once again driven it to ruins. this time, unusually severe crisis than one that harms the rich, not just the pour saud merris special concern. it is also worth recall

the consequences of living in a state of fear, rather than a state of preparedness, are enormous. we may be better prepared as a nation than we were on 9/11, but, we are nowhere near as prepared as we need to be. there are of course aspects of cowering the terror threat that are inherently governmental. but, the smart government is one that knows what it does best, and which helps other do their best as well. so, hears how we're looking at this. first, with respect to individuals in the private sector, we are taking a much closer look at how we can support and form our greatest asset, individual citizens, and with them, the private sector. you are the ones who know if something is not right in your community, such as a suspicious package. or unusual activity. three years ago, it was an attentive store clerk who told authorities about men trying to duplicate extremist dvds. this led federal agents to eventually round up a plot to kill american soldiers at the fort dix army base. here in new jersey. -- in new jersey. just last month, a -- just last month a passenger saw two employee

we have a state-by-state breakdown as to which states states have passed mediocre reforms and that noreform and it's interesting though to see the dynamic even in a state like new jersey which has troubled eminent domain problems, one of the worst abusers of eminent domain. the state legislature and despite the introduction of numerous bills has done absolutely nothing and which you have seen there is the state courts have stepped up and they have started providing greater protections and recognizing greater protections for property owners for will have seen the revolution in the port where property owners and given in writing chance after years of words of neglecting this area rubber stamping whatever the government's wanted to do appear to the interesting dynamic, of course, in a lot of these battles as the back if you look at the polling on this you think the numbers would be overwhelming and the numbers are the overwhelming so that these things while very easily and there wouldn't be any problem. there has been a huge problem especially in states where the power is an abuse to a l

not apply to actions for liability under state law. now, my opposition to this approach stems from many factors. first, i do not believe that randomly selected jurors have the necessary@@@@#7rr$"rr part because they know that the financial risks of litigation are greatly reduced once the process is completed. however, if this legislation is enacted and manufacturers are required to ensure that they have approval of the fda as well as that of any 12 random people in any one of the states, the risks of marketing a device will greatly increase, and the cost of these devices will go even higher. as a result, innovation will be stifled and fewer and fewer devices will be brought to the marketplace. additionally, we will inevitably see a rise in the overall cost for devices as a means to offset the cost to more frivolous lawsuits. as someone who tried these suits in the past, in my early legal career, or service, i have to say a high percentage of the lawsuits were brought to get defense costs. they were frivolous suits. they have been runni

have the states than any research on how much money state-by-state we have lost by letting these jobserseas? i know when i go buy a place, they are always made in china, indonesia -- i am curious -- is there any research on how much we have lost but letting these jobs go overseas? guest: that is a good question. i do not believe the states have done a specific research in terms of economic impact on the shift of those jobs overseas. what i can say is that states are investing considerable resources to attract overseas investment here. to win at the global competitiveness game. they are making those decisions in terms of opening offices overseas designed to bring foreign companies here to set up factories like the hyundai factories that have come to the southeast, as a result of those concerns that they often see their own jobs in terms of an open, global economy shifting and they realize they need to find the next round of jobs. one of the good news stories of the last couple of weeks has been that american exporters are doing better than they have a long time. at least in key sectors

victories for states. the states are maine, vermont, and new york. so i would put this set of cases under the heading blue state rights. blue states' rights as opposed to the kind of states' rights that went to the anti-gun control and anti-domestic violence rulings in other cases. starting with the first, a poignant case. a woman who needs both arms as an anti nausea drug injected in her arm that causes complications leading to amputation. a one-armed former violinist walking down the court room steps saying she is entitled under vermont what to bring a failure to warn claim, even though the drug had been approved under fda labeling regulations. in this case, the majority comes out, saying there is no pre- emption. it was aided by the fact that the fda had more or less hunted down the case to join this majority, and i will say more about that in a minute. the argument is there is no conflict pre-emption of state failure to warn a claim just because the fda approved labeling. justice thomas wrote an interesting concurrence. he said, i do not really b

the united states has never had that kind of a domestic detention program in the united states.f they are sent to another country, assuring that they will be treated to humanely, that is perfectly legitimate and a line that i think we should follow. host: democratic line. good morning. caller: i have a question and comment. my question is this -- host: are you there? but i think we lost her. -- i think that we lost her. indiana, independent line. caller: it is a sad day in this country when what kind of message are we sending when we say come? save it you want to destroy america, but we will let you live your life free instead of doing your job in protecting americans personally? if our military people say that these people are a danger to the united states and the need to be detained somewhere, not going to another country, you people are nuts. they are insane. if the government wants to keep them detained on an island somewhere where the military has full control of these people to make sure that they do no harm to us again, that is what i think we should do. i do not think th

and the united states. we will have a precedent of saying, come into the u.s., you get free medical care, we will not check who you are or whether you're here lawfully. this would create a further precedent of what i call medical tourism. what would happens that someone could enter the u.s. either eelly in the future or as a tourist who hat a significant medical condition that requires health care. they could then declare themselves to be eligible for these programs, enroll in this public option, begin to receive medical care without ever being checked as to whether or not they under the united states lawfully or eligible for these programs. i believe under this legislation we will draw the seriously ill from all over the world to begin to come here to receive free medical treatment, and once you hook these individuals up to the dialysis machine or whatever it is, we're very unlikely as a society to pull the plug and say, get out of here. it is absolutely mind-boggling pre precedent that is being establishe

many honda and toyota vehicles are manufactured in the united states. but once upon a time there was language in the cash for clunkers legislation that would have barred any discounts for cars manufactured outside of the united states, meaning employing no u.s. workers or cars made in canada or mexico. the white house approval of that language was' moved because it would have00 head-long into free trade agreements and stopping the program cold. but the white house says this about overall domestic auto production and sales -- >> the statistics denote that the big three automakers have been represented well in this program because they're building cars that americans want to buy. >> and for that reason the white house wants the program to continue. shepard: so e.r.a. reid says the senate will vote this week. are republicans trying to stop it? >> they will not filibuster it. the republicans know this is a popular program, but there are some republicans, tom coburn, who says is it really a wise idea for the administration, the country and the taxpayers to i

those with the two states.if you look at the percentage cut in the tax rate on the highest bracket it went from 91 to 70 so that is a 21 percentage point cut. you divide 21 by 91 and you get a 23 percent cut in the rate. and by cutting the lowest rate to 14 percent that is a six percentage point cut/20% is a 30 percent cut in the rate so we cut the highest rate by 20 percent and the lowest rates by 30 percent. in the one thing you to understand on economics is people don't or to pay taxes. people could give a damn what the taxes are and they worry about what they receive net after tax. it is that a rate that is the incentives of the tax rates not important, is the after-tax return that is important and that we take you in the after-tax return of the beginning of the kennedy administration. if you is in the top bracket for every dollar that i made a $0.91 in taxes was allowed to take 9 percent news that $0.9 per dollar that was his or her incentive for earning income in the tax brackets. when kennedy cut that ra
