it's hard to take away an subsidy and we figured out an amount of subsidy to go to every person and what happens if that dollar isn't the same dollar. there may be changes in how many money is collected. because there's this off and on switch for workers, are you working there or not, i feel there's a little bit more safeguard there that we can be working on behalf of the workers to insure that they get these subsidy. we were working with the deputy and peter lee so they understand our need to move forward on this, but we do have some work to do with the health plans and trying to structure this. >> okay. commissioners? >> sir, i wanted to clarify the intent of the ordinance because i think there's some confusion. i can understand if covered california isn't ready to create a direct easy system for the city to provide the subsidy to purchase the care, but that doesn't mean that we have to wait until 2016 to act. >> our legislation -- >> i'm not saying that. first of all, what i'm saying and this is apart of our process is we're going to start working with the groups to see -- covered cal

an export bank subsidy.s than 2 percent get a subsidy. it is picking winners and losers. you put anybody in that situation you are going to get questions about honesty and integrity. there's going to be such an opportunity for kickbacks. >> one congressman who dwot got caught was william jefferson. >> william jefferson was caught with 90,000 in his fridge and now he is in jail. he got a 13 year sentence fon bribery charges. one of the things he did was demand bribes from a nigerian company. he got it as part of what they were paying him for. when that deal fell apart he found another nigerian company brought it together with the same company again taking bribes at the export import bank. >> nigerians got to the bank because maureen was indicted for taking 100,000 dollars bribe she worked at the bank. >> she was bank official. she got wired 100,000 dollars. the nigerian businessman ascended to her when he requested the money from his own bank he said this was a solicitation payment. it was pretty cut and dry.

no subsidies for you. and so, i'm thinking about, you know, small businesses, my own district, a nexus personnel business, services in mesquite. the owner said my mother and father opened up the business they used their 401(k), other resources to pay for rent. we had to go to auctions to buy office furniture. you know, small businesses like ours quote/unquote can't rely on the government. again, i guess by definition, you received the subsidy, you believe it's necessary to your business model, i accept that. but how is that fair to the other millions and millions of small businesses who sell to americans who don't get their products subsidized to the federal government? >> sir, i'd love to compete on a fair basis in america with my green technology to take bio gas into methane. i don't get a subsidy. i take exception to your remark. but my point is -- >> does xm not subsa die finance for your products? >> i don't believe that i'm subsidized. i don't believe that at all. >> yes, sir. >> let me speak to that

subsidy train because the rest of the world is on the subsidy train. and to continue that logic means that nations of the world have to continue one upsmanship on subsidy. so it's subsidy versus subsidy and it's a complete rejection of the free market. i don't think that's the direction we want to go. the free market has built up the most magnificent economies of this world. i remain a defender of the free economy. one of our former presidents said that nothing is more representative of eternal life than a government program. and i think we heard the defenders today here of this program, despite the mismanagement, despite the fraud, despite the failures. we have an executive summary in front of me that says, as a matter of fact, the export-import bank operated a loss every year from 1982 to 1995. when reform was passed back in -- when reform was passed, the fcra, that meant then that the losses were back filled by the taxpayer and xm bank received $9.92 billion in direct appropriations from the government between '92 and '96. when we talk about free ec

get a subsidi. it may be different for a healthy persons verses an older person who has health care needs. we want to do this carefully. it was addressed in the health care council, about -- but we want to do it careful. it needs to be sustainable for the city, so the cost hasn't been determined and we need to do that before we can make sure it's a program that the city can afford in the long term. it's a matter of giving a person a monthly subsidy for a long period of time and creating that is something we want to do so thoughtfully. also ac implementation is five months in. a full implementation with many parts. the mandate was extended and extended again and there's discussion about whether it's even necessary, whether it would be -- whether it would be revoked and i know that's a real conversation that's happening so the future of those things are unclear. the proposed timeline that's included in the legislation would be difficult for us to meet, and i know that the supervisor's office who is go

every player gets the subsidy. only less than 2% get a subsidy.you're going to get questions about honesty and integrity and there will be such an opportunity for kickback. john: one congressman about kabul is william jackson. what did he do? >> he was william jefferson, he was caught with $90,000 in his fridge. he had a 13 year sentence on bribery charges. one of the things he did was demand bribes from a nigerian company and from u.s. company and he brought them together as part of what they were paying them for. so when that deal fell apart, he found another company and product together again taking bribes at the ex-im bank. >> they got to the bank. because they were indicted for taking this bribe, and she worked at the bank. >> yes, that's right. there was a bank official. she just got wired $100,000. the nigerian businessmen said this is a facilitation payment for helping us get money. john: but yesterday the congresswoman carolyn mccarthy said some corruption is no surprise. >> they did the investigation and they let him go. that is the way

[inaudible]. [cheering and applauding] >> next speaker, please. >>> thank you, debby. and good afternoon now, supervisors. my name is deborah eddleman. i'm the deputy director at hamilton family center and the co-chair of emergency homeless provider association. i've met many of you many times before. i want to thank all of you first for taking the time to meet with members and the community in previous years as well as this year, and to really seriously consider the proposals that we have developed to prevent and end homelessness in san francisco and serve the most vulnerable of our community. in considering the city budget this year, i encourage you to keep in mind the exponential effec

including no subsidies can impact the owners this is an example. the owner of super duper you burgers opposes those others restaurants and under the property legislation; right when super depositor reaches the physical retail control each of the other businesses have truly unique and don't contribute they're they'll have negative gangs like limiting it and it will be xhifrpt applied as the definitions will be hard to identify. we feel our definition changes are balanced and slightly more restrictive moving on to geometric market street is the city's premier street and it should retain the san francisco character. this parking lot part of the market street is here since 1920 and 40 additional projects in the pipeline this intense development it should define the markets shark character. last year supervisor kim's talked about the controls here interim controls are for financial services and french that of him and restaurant and pharmacies when those are visible from the street. due to the visual and importance of the street it recommends the permane

miscalculated their subsidy. this is troubling because nebraskans are definitely feeling the effect of obamacare, just like citizens across the country. let me talk about a couple of stories quickly. a college instructor from nebraska wrote to me saying -- quote -- "due to obamacare, i will be unable to teach more than two courses per term. overall, i am losing at least 20% of my adjunct income, and i'll be definitely in a rough situation with zero money coming in this summer." unquote. regarding obamacare, she explains -- and again i quote -- "we have the 'one shoe fits all situation' and i don't wear that shoe." unquote. a young college student in nebraska shared identical or similar concerns. she says -- quote -- "through my job, i was previously able to work 32 hours a week. now i'm allowed 28 hours. this is a very significant amount of my already small college student budget." unquote. mr. president, americans like these constituents don't want a law that decreases their earnings and mandates washington-pres

do you go through the subsidies. and the reasons. interesting question if we got rid of subsidies could we lower taxes for corporations the assumption being that in corporations getting one hundred million bucks and subsidies they're paying one hundred million dollars in taxes you get rid of the subsidies can you cut their taxes you know in in a world where all corporations are getting the same subsidies and all corporations are paying the same taxes sure but that's not the world we live in it's not the country we live in while we have our certain different there are first of all there are different kinds of subsidies for example corporations like microsoft and disney are subsidized to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars but we're not writing a check to them we do it through the copyright laws the patent laws and the trademark laws but there are subsidies it's welfare for rich corporations then you've got industries like the oil industry because the big ag corn industry the coal industry who are actually you know getting chec

it too high and you have gotten more subsidy than you deserve that gets reconciled on your next taxurn if not before. >> that just sounds so messy, john, getting the money back. let's say you did get money back, how does the government get the money back, or vice versa. >> well, when you fill out your tax subsidies the money you get under obamacare will be under one part of that form. so when they see what you filed and what you have earned it is part of figuring out the calculation on the tax you owe or how much tax you will get back, just like any tax filed and credit people get. >> very quickly, nobody is going to try to make political hay out of that, are they, john? >> you saw a ton of that this afternoon. the republicans in the house ways and means committee see it as one more bit of evidence that the program was poorly rolled out and poorly designed. democrats say the opposite. public opinion is not likely to shift a lot as a result of this. >> thank you very much, john harwood reporting. >>> still ahead, deep inside of >>> desert, and what inside of could transform the energ

and who among us is going to say, here, take my subsidy back. >> gary b, what do you say?the bigger issue is that once again we have faith that the government can somehow run an efficient program. it can't whether it social security, the v.a. hospital or for crying out loud, the interstate system or the landing on the moon and you can argue whether they were successes or failures but the fact of the matter is that the government says that a dollar is going to spend, you can count it is $10 to be spent. >> jonah. >> and who wouldn't want a little bit of equity and we have a revenue model tied with this which is the dow, because it has a capital gains component, and fortunately the high costs will be paid for by high tax revenue. >> gary k. >> you cannot charge people for insurance $82 that actually costs $246 and have the government slash the taxpayer and pick it up and think that things are going to be ending up well. gary b says ten times, but i say 100 times, and this is going to blow up over the next few years. >> that has to be the last word. thank you, sasha for joini

we also think that not including subsidy parent companies in the definition needs to be looked at it constitutes a loophole with fewer than 12 or 20 locations in order to circumvent the law. we intend to agree that recurring the progress when appropriate we think that the cu process is working and should be continued >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners. kathleen dulling i didn't president of the north beach commission today, i'm speaking on behalf of the north beach business and the telegraph hill i also participated in the planning process and the reviews i really want to thank the planning department for the hard work it's complicated and i think they did a very good job we support many of the proposed changes such adding international locations and expanding the news. we don't support increasing the numerical number to 20 we understand the deserve to allow the important chances we suggest a better way to do this is have the planning department include them in the proposed administration review process to fast track non-c

obamacare subsidies to be paid out, eight in ten enrollees are eligible. and half billion so far this year. a total of 900 billion over ten years. was this suppose to be a cost curve? alternately at the end of the day this is redounding to taxpayers. >> look back. the earned income tax credit. it is simpler. and requires information on how much you made and the size of your family. the error rate in payments on that program which been around for years is about 21%. the same performance out of this, the obamacare subsidy, which means there will be $180 billion in mistaken payments over ten years, and that is ed we do as well as we did there. this is a much more complicated system. gerri: i cannot imagine it will be done well. it is the government, after all. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. gerri: coming up next, u.s. open runner eric compton in second place, the national spotlight. we take a look at his inspirational story. stay with us. ♪ ♪ gerri: and now on to my favorite sport, golf. last three guy had the pleasure of attending the usda u.s. o

grayson: this very same bill limits this subsidy to $500 per passenger. in this bill. earlier on this bill, that is the determination that this bill requires to be made. i am simply changing that figure from $500 to $250. it is, shall i say this, unwarranted to say that that's expecting any new law, enacting anything new, it's simply modifying another provision in this specific act. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the chair finds that this amendment includes language requiring a new determination. the amendment therefore constitutes legislation in violation of clause 2 of rule 21. the point of order is sustained and the amendment is not in order. does any other member seek recognition? for what purpose does the gentleman from iowa rise? mr. latham: mr. chairman, i ove the committee do now rise. the chair: the question is on the motion that the committee rise. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. the motion is adopted. accordingly, the committee rises. mr. speaker, the committee of the whole house on th

have you encountered the tax subsidies. as a result, partly because of discretionary programs not growing in being cut by three sequesters, we ended up having cut most of about a thousand dollars. so that's basically how the budget started being divided up in current laws the money is going to the mandatory programs, not discretionary programs. by c. richard evolved through social security, medicare not having children. if children. if all the growth in income we expect, they will get 66% of it. interest on the debt will get 37%. those who do not 66 plus 37 ads to more than 100. defense was going to decline. it's actually negative 9% pure children is growing 2%. basically the rest of the budget is zero growth. we spent roughly a trillion dollars more per year in children get another and we will have declines in other ways. so i'd like to conclude this discussion on and much more positive note. as i say, if we think about allocating this money in ways we want, if we think about the possibilities before us, if we think we are

continuing to increase federal subsidies will fail to drive down college costs. in 2014, the $33 billion pell grant program provided grants to 9 million college students making it the largest share of federal education budget. it grew the pell grant by expanding eligibility and funding resulting in a doubling of the number of pell recipients since 2008. in order to control higher education spending, pel grant funding should be targeted to lower income. it should use fair value accounting practices to get an accurate measure of what those programs are costing taxpayers to ensure the loans use a nonsubsidizing interest rate. in a report released last month, cbo calculated the four largest student loan programs, unsubsidized stafford loans and parent plus loans will cost taxpayers money, not result in a net gain and negative subsidies for the federal government as is often claimed. while the report states that the four loan programs will yield the savings of $135 billion from 2015 to 2024, cbo calculates in the same report that using fair value accounting measures,

not result in a net gain and negative subsidy for the federal government as is often claimed. while the report states the four loan programs will yield a savings of about $135 billion from 2015 to 2024, cbo calculates in the same report that using fair value accounts measures the four loans would have a net cost of $88 billion over the next ten years. not including administrative costs. in other words, the four largest student loan programs represent an $88 billion taxpayer finance subsidy. cbo explains the utility of using fair value accounting to fully understand the cost of federal lending stating that the government is exposed to market risk when the economy is weak because borrowers default on their debt obligations more frequently and recoveries from borrowers are lower. fair value estimates take this market risk into account and as a result are more accurate reflection of the costs of federal student loans. congress should not expand the federal student loan program without requiring that fair value accounting be used to calculate the cost of these loans. any loan progr

and one of our programs that are specific to the case and living in the hiv and we have the subsidies. and it will open up a program that is able to offer 6 housing slots. i think that you will hear in the public comment that there is a conversation that especially for the homeless, k, is the 18 to 24 range and really is just the people enough time to stabilize. i am going to go through though rather quickly and so if you ask me you will see a lot of the same players and the street and the services and often involved up to the house, and so the community of the services pay the program and in the ship and a lot of those programs are funded by the mental health services act which is set aside from the four tay youth and mental illness and some of these programs and in the next slide you will see some of the school based youth centers wellness programs. and this was talking about earlier and so these are, and these are specifically, for the tay and if there are a lot of integrated and the collaborativive services, from the community behavior services. i think that i will make a lot of n
