what is the purpose of the long-term integration strategic plan? it's to prepare for the transition to long-term care integration in san francisco and to determine what is required to improve the provision of long-term services and supports for medical eligible older adult and see adults are disabilities. this is targeting people who are what are called dual eligible eligible for both medicare or medical and medicare. what is long-term care integration? what does that phrase mean? it means the integration of primary and acute care services with long-term services and supports as well as institutional care. so we're talking about bringing the medical model together with the social services model, and they will both be provided by managed care health plans to this population, the dual eligibles, those who are eligible for med ical and medicare so an older population as well as a population with disabilities as well as populations who are older so it's a mix. this plan was prepared because california has instituted a coordinated care initiative. in jan

federal investments can help the economy in the long run. i want to be careful here. >> senator, the point -- >> actually, senator -- >> in general, the tax increases are less hopeful and reduce the deficit as our tax increases do more damage to growth over time than spending reductions as we seek to reduce deficits. >> so some of her, we would be careful in our reports not to paint either all tax increases or spending cuts with the same broad brush. as you understand the incentive effects -- thank you -- >> thank you. wilco to mr. whitehouse. >> thank you, chairman. dr. elmendorf, one of the issues we have to address this health care the federal budget. as you and i have discussed before, the cost of health care in the federal budget relates to the cost of health care. in the country. the figures i have is we're spending about 18 purse and a fair gdp on health care nationally, that the figure is northbound, had it for and higher and that the least efficient of our competitor, industrialized nations is burning maybe 12% of their economy on he

happening now, the work has begun to get rid of the long- standing bridge. alex savidge got a closeup look at the work and joins us live. good afternoon, alex. >> reporter: good afternoon. i'm standing on the lower deck of the old eastern span. right now, up above us, there are crews busy at work and they are tearing apart a portion of the upper deck. while there's a lot of heavy machinery busy and working up there on the upper deck, drivers coming across the new

i'm hopeful that you'll resume the long standing practice that chairman of the council of economic advisers testing before the jec. welcome today. we are all pulling for a strong recovery. too many americans of all ages and all races have simply given up hope of finding a full-time job. now, four full years after recession ended, while some parts of the nation are making progress, the current recovery remains the weakest among all post-1960 recoveries in every major measure of economic performance. generating a troubling, and we think dangerous, growth gap. while real gdp has grown by 10% since the recession ended, that's just barely above one-half the growth in average recoveries over the same period. producing a growth gap of $1.3 trillion in the economy. for families the growth gap hits home. real disposable income per capita has increased by a mere 3.7%. that's less than one-third of the 11.7% average. this means a family of four has $11,420 less in real after tax income to spend than they would have had if this recovery had merely been average. the current recovery has produced 4.4 mil

on the question of long term unemployment, this is very damaging. obviously for the people involved, many of whom have very little source of support for an extended period of time. but whatever savings people may have to get through a short unemployment spell is much more likely to be exhausted if one is unemployed for half a year or a year or longer. but also has beyond the personal effects important economic effects over time. some people who are unemployed for a long time simply give up looking for work. some people find their way into disability insurance. the applications for the social security program have gone up rapidly over the past few years. people go into that program very rarely come back out of it into the labor force. technical skills and connections to the workforce, connections to people who are working. so it poses a very large risk. of there being some set of people that will not find their way back to work at all or find their way to the productive sort of work that they were in before they lost their jobs. >> are therein vestmen

well, the recommendation is for a long-term care implementation body to be formed that will include dos the human services agency the department of public health, the three health plans i mentioned and the long-term care coordinating counsel as an advisor but it's not set yet and i want to read something it says in our strategic plan -- the make up of the implementation body needs careful consideration and consist of those that can influence the implementations of the recommendations representatives -- well it doesn't matter but there's a variety of groups. some of your organization may want to be on that body -- it's not set yet is what i'm trying to say. what will happen is that there will be implementation work groups below this body and they will be given charge for some of the recommendations and that's how the recommendations will be rolled out into implementation. so the state's goal is to expand calmedi connect project in the 8 counties. it will most likely come to san francisco in 2016 we have time now to prepare and strengthen our delivery system and time now to answer questio

the next decade, actually. this is a huge disaster and it will take a long time. look at all these people in the natural disaster centers. their homes have been destroyed, wound care, basic sanitation, critical things right now that are necessary. but five years from now we're talking about getting people back in their homes. we're talking about economic systems, getting back up and going. this is--we're in it for the long haul. >> does that move people who give you money in the same way, and can you open a dialogue with them that informs them what the real needs are? you got their attention. here is this terrible event, but the need goes on long after that first aid is delivered. >> right, and i think th that te are certain donors who only want to give during that period, and we honor that and focus in on that, but we recognize that it's not a hard stop. it's a continuum. i think the public is astute. they understand that it takes an ounce of prevention to help. so the numbers that die are less, and the impact on people's lives are less, and that things just don't

again, this government has a plan for the long term - and we are sticking to the task.ally, everyone knows that we need a bigger and more prosperous private sector to generate wealth and pay for the public services we need. that means we need to support, reward and celebrate enterprise. that requires a fundamental culture change in our country. a culture that's on the side of those who work hard, that values that typically british, entrepreneurial, buccaneering spirit, and that rewards people with the ambition to make things, sell things and create jobs for others up and down the country. that's what this government is on a mission to bring about. we want to make britain the best place in europe to start, finance or grow a business. so we are cutting corporation tax to 20 per cent, the lowest in the g20. we are saving businesses £1 billion by slashing red tape. we are backing innovative industries that will revolutionise world markets. and through our new challenger business initiative we are identifying those sectors where barriers need to be removed to enable new entr

federal investments can also help the economy in the long run. senator, the point is -- >> that's not what your report says. >> no, actually, senator -- >> in general that the tax increases are less -- are less helpful in reducing the deficit as -- tax increases do more damage to growth over time than spending reductions as we seek to reduce deficits. >> senator, i think we tried to be very careful in our reports not to paint either all tax increases or all spending cuts with the same broad brush. >> i know. >> as you understand, the incentive effects of -- >> i'll look at your report. i think it says what i said. >> okay. we'll go to mr. whitehouse. >> thank you. so this relates to health care in the country. and the figures i have is that we are spending about 18% of our gdp on health care nationally. that figure is northbound, headed for 20 and higher. >> yes, senator. >> and that the least efficient of our competitor and industr l industrialized nations is burning maybe 12% of their economy on health care. so we pay about a 50% inefficiency pr

what do you think are the impacts of sequestration and long-term unemployment and what are the budgetary implications of persistently high long-term unemployment? >>>> the first part of your question, senator, of all nondefense discretionary spending, about half represents investment of some sort. nondefense discretionary spending, half represents investment of some sort about 20% of nondefense discretionary spending is investment in physical capital such as highways. another 15% is -- goes for education and training. over all, we think the investments build a stronger economy in the future and cutbacks in those investments would reduce output and kmk in the future. but i think it is also important to say that different pieces of those elements of spending may be much more effective than others in terms of long term growth. we said that -- this is about research. federal spending and support of basic research has an average has a significantly positive return. we also noted that gross generalization is difficult to apply as guidance for decisions across budget functions, agencies budgets

but it is your obligation to plan for the long term as well as the short term. the ada has a set of priorities that guide you on how you will be serving your property. the ada says a certain party of getting in the front door, but you are logical, you want your customers to access your services. be that steps, be that ramps, if the door is not wide enough, if the landing is not level enough. priority two is actually travel. once you get into your business and start speculating the wits of your files. access to all of your services.

sergeant lee is in charge of this investigation for the long beach police. he says his department would not be able to run an investigation this large on its own. >> to run an operation like this, at the front end there is a lot of manhours going into the internet chats. it would cost an astronomical amount of money to pay police officers to sit in front of computers to conduct these chats. >> essentially, perverted justice had the expertise and time your department didn't? >> that is correct. >> runner. >> got it. >> and they need that expertise during our investigation here in long beach. for the first time, they'll be tracking a suspect to a nearby park where he may think he'll be able to lure a young teen into his car. >> everybody on this? >> we got it. we got it. we got it. >> the house will still get busy. >> how are you doing? why don't you have a seat right over there on that stool right there. are those your friends outside? some will try to make the getaway. >> take him. take him. he's running. >> the police will have other plans. >> get on your kn

i'll call for your comments on the long rankle property plan. this is a plan and the purpose is to say for all the assets that the successor agency still is in control of what is their plan important gopgs up e.r. ever to sell for enforceable goings-on. there is no final plan once properties have been in particular prapts properties r that are transferred to the city for governmental purpose there's no plan after that. that's a collaboration between the agency because the agency has the experience and the resources to really fully understand the deposition of the assets in the community in the long run and the city department or other authorities those assets are transferred to. so again, there's no final plan, you know, to transfer them to the city and a number of things could happen but that's not the purpose of this long-term plan. i want to open it up for commissioners. first any questions about the long-term property plan >> yeah. that i are they just, you know, wanted to make sure we should involve all the community when giving the properti

the support of long-term members. when we visited we found a lot of improvement to reach out to english speaking families and the parents guide is a fine example of how we as a district are moving forward with reaching it out to families. when we went to visit the site they were having community meetings and we observed the parents are actively involved and offered translation. we heard from parents that many of them are involved in school counsels and a are working together with the staff. we - we have be able to see we is saw the english book is being used by the families and staff to provide information to the families that they may not have known or access before. that's our recommendation that the handbook be distributed to staff and faculty. if we just go down to our bbc recommendations. we want to continue to ask there's improvement regarding the pathways. there seems to be a gap in the especially understanding families about the option they have in the pathway. just to continue to ask bbc to do the good work th

you would do more on the long- term structural side. argument that turned the stimulus into tax cuts, we are going to look back and say that was not that effective. the momentt -- at when everyone is deleveraging they took the tax cut and tried to pay down debt and it did not get that many republican votes so some parts of the stimulus would have been better off moved into others but the thought that we should not have been doing as much as we could when the economy is shrinking nine percent to me is borderline nutty. would say a few things. first it was clear that the economy was demand-constrained and the priority had to attach to increasing demand, not raising the supply potential of the economy and that would be the case for a number of years. second, i think the policies that were enacted probably were as good as could be done given the political constraints and prevailing attitudes at that time. third, in retrospect, it would have been better to have demandd on a longer-term expansion program. that was not politically planetary at

the reimbursement agreement. something you worked on for a long time. so far, have received nearly a million dollars in reimbursement because of the agreement. that means more resources to serve more people in indian country. we've been working on a number of fronts to make sure your voices are heard in both state level and federal decision making. and as i said at hhs, we've created a department wide secretary's triable advisory committee. in fact, we're meeting tomorrow. and i continue to urge other colleagues throughout the cabinet to look at that model because the stack meets three times a year. not justice with me, but all of our senior leaders. we meet on policy and budget issue. they inform our priority and help to direct our initiatives. one of the areas i've asked them to work on is reducing barriers to eligibility, access to hhs grant. we're a big department. we have a lot of grants that go in to communities for a whole variety of health service. what we learn very quickly is that the entities, communities, triable communities that need the gra

could this move things along the long stalled the diplomatic procedures but that number. for the time being i don't think so because split at the moment as you already know the agreement between the five minus one in your brown. just last frost just six points to this camp every decision. so in order to get to the comprehensive solutions. i mean lowering the communique will be more focused on the giver and the new shoes rather than north korean dishes. so the north koreans might be leaking from the commune the raids the us secretary of state john kerry even said not to create. your comparison between north korea and you're on the ah what can we read into you know that statement and how should we go about this if the two situations are different. how are they so different. yes let us pull think that the differences in these cases. while in iran has remained on the heads of state in the state in the regime of the npt however north korea has left npt regime. and why are you brown has never conducted a nuclear weapon test. north korea has already conducted a nuclear weapon it

and if it's going to go down 10% after that, they buy it for the long term. you like this company a lot, why not just buy the stock? >> well, when it was initially priced at $26 i was looking maybe low 30s that we would purchase it. >> that's my point. if you're thinking about long term, five years, ten years down the road, why quibble about $6 in the stock price right now? >> with $6 compounded over five years could amount to quite a bit. i think you might see -- it might not drop down to the low 30s. but i think it's definitely a little -- you know, people have a little bit of exuberance around it now simply because it's an ipo, it's a big name, they want to get in on it. >> so what is your takeaway today? beau, what's your take away and your investment club members from the facebook ipo that's helped you analyze the twitter ipo? what do you come away from both of these deals learning? >> i think what i come away with was the market's reaction in general to the ipo. the opening up at 45 and the climb to 50 really kind of shows a lot of faith in twitter. but

and, so, i'm more interested in what the long-term relationship is between the warriors and the community, and not just we're going to build a stadium, we're going to be here, we're going to do our thing and everyone is going to go home. what does this mean long-term and how do the residents benefit and how are they connected to this great opportunity? so... >> to what degree do you feel the city should subsidize the team? >> i don't see the city subsidizing the team from my perspective, from what i've seen in terms of the deal. other than potentially the land, which they will pay for eventually. maybe not the entire amount, but i don't think there are any plans for the city to give up anything financially from my perspective. other than potentially land that wasn't going to be used in the first place. but i appreciate the fact that the warriors are focusing on private fund-raising and i prefer that they stick to that. i don't think the city should be -- with the situation we're in now, we should be really investing in that and the warriors seem to be committed to privately fund-raising f

the first one is, we absolutely need to make the system secure over a long period of time. i really want to stop for a second and drill on that. because we have to remember all the folks who talk about cutting social security, always start with the fact that hey, listen, it is just terrible what is happening with social security. it is not. if we did nothing to social security, we go 20 years paying at the same rate. and then after that we drop roughly about a quarter and pay all the way to the end of the 21st century. so what that tells us, we can make modest adjustments to social security and we could level it out so that we would be able the protect the benefits we've got. but then is the time to start thinking beyond that. and it is to think about all the americans who depend on social security. remember where i started this, rachel. two thirds of seniors right now are counting on social security for their main income. we have to think about a broad approach to this. >> the types of tweaks that it would take to make the program fiscally sound in the very, very long-term

and this document does not do that while we get out further discuss the long awaited deal with iran with norman solomon who's director of the institute for public accuracy and he joins us live now from san francisco norman think of for joining us here r.t. to discuss this so first off we just heard the top diplomats from iran and then the u.s. interpreted the deal quite differently who's right here at regarding the uranium enrichment. well i think they're both covering their bases in terms of their domestic audience and i think it's living hairs that don't matter very much the fact is the u.s. government has promoted for many decades including ironically during the shah's time in iran the development of nuclear power across the world including iran back in the one nine hundred sixty s. so the u.s. is promoting nuclear power and it's important to people in iran as i learned when i spoke with folks on the street and to run a number of years ago to assert the trog it is to develop nuclear power energy so i think that's a rather minor point what is so key is that this is a breakthrough for d
