the agency tasked with regulating the farm credit system is the farm credit system administration or the fca. the farm credit administration is an independent agency comprised of three, a three-member board nominated by the president. and as we all know on the committee, confirmed by the senate through our committee. like the banking industry, the farm credit system is not a lender of last resort. the lender of last resort for farmers who are otherwise unable to secure private financing is the department of agriculture's farm service agency. our commercial banks and the farm credit system -- pardon me, service often relies on usda farm loan guarantees to make loans when borrowers are less creditworthy. now to date, the farm service agency has seen a 21%, that's 21%, increase in farm loans as compared to last year. a further troubling indication of a struggling agricultural economy. obviously, much has changed since congress established the farm credit system a hundred years ago. one thing that has not changed, however, is the importance of providing farmers and other rural borrowers w

the system we use, as does england, it has very strong incentives that leads to the two-party system. if you have single-member districts, you may tend to get to parties. >> if we went to a proportional representation system or electing members of congress, depending on if we chose like a prime minister in a parliamentary system, i have no doubt we would have four or five significant parties. the democratic party splinter off. we would have something like a green party. the institutional structures create tremendous incentive to organize channel politics in one direction or another for we tend to take for granted the kind of politics we have without being aware of the institutional and legal framework that makes that kind of politics. >> as these parties become more intractable and less tolerant of the opposition, hasn't the american public in the loser because their interests appear to fall by the wayside in party interest appear to be the most prominent issue? >> one thing political scientists will tell us about the benefits of the current system, which you may not think about is th

they are the farm credit system. on behalf of our customer owners we look forward to the next 100 years of serving rural communities and agriculture. mr. chairman, i've a variety of statements with me from groups representing producers, farmer owned cooperatives and others that reinforce the importance of farm credits mission to ask that the statements they made a part of the hearing record. >> without objection. >> thank you. i would be placed respond to questions. >> thank you very much an apologist for the back and forth today. i know you understand about the votes that are occurring and members having to try to be several places at once, we very much appreciate all of your testimony, and it's an important part of our deliberations going forward. and i'm pleased i made it back in time to introduce mr. jed welder. as i mentioned earlier, is taking time from a busy planting season to provide a producer perspective today. mr. wilder said in both the u.s. marine corps and the u.s. army and several tours in afghanistan,

we need the system to work. the region needs to come up with a dedicated funding source for match row. we can't do anything here. there is something that region needs to do. what we need to definitely is to talk about changing the way people act in the system, the whole culture and it's difficult to do and i think you -- thank you for what you've done so far. i know the shutdown caused an inconvenience to many of the regions and the commuters got two months after they've released the safety directive to matrox among them were things that appeared to be routine maintenance including removing the debris and the cover words so i a i'm concerned about the inspection and repair given the safe trek fan is about to begin and i want to be assured it won't cause a serious disruption in people's daily lives but you'll be using the time to publish the maintenance. the findings in may are the result of a shutdown or were those findings the result of previous inspections? spinnaker they reflected the ongoing maintenance and t

we need the system to work. i think the region needs to come up with a dedicated funding source for metro. we can't do anything here in congress about it but i think it's something the region needs to do. but there is a changing of the -- we need to change the way people act within the system, the whole culture and it's difficult do. i think you, mr. wiedefeld, for the things you have done so far. i want to ask -- i know the march 16 shutdown caused a significant inconvenience to many of the region's commuters. but they released a series of safety directives to metro. among them were things that appeared to be routine maintenance including removing debris, replacing insulators and rail cover boards so i'm concerned about metro's efficiency in conducting inspection and repair, especially given the safe track plan is about to begin. i want to be sure if metro causes serious disruption in people's daily lives that you will be using the time to accomplish all the required maintenance. so first, were f.t.a.'s findings

radar with the aegis system. ul: essentially it will integrate and enhance the capability of the system. reporter: you are building one on the ship? paul: we are finishing our testing and it will be shipped off to hawaii -- a specific missile -- paul: for a development testing. reporter: the first ship this goes on, you expect to be built when? flight three platform, which was put under contract this year, and fy 16 ship. ll: chris is here with us to talk more about the show. that was one conversation. i know you did many with folks on the trade floor. what was your impression? reporter: this was a good show. the expo has been going on for some decades now. they have the most floor space, the most participants, the most exhibitors. they have the most -- maybe too many speakers and presenters in the show. it was a very upbeat show. i think a few years ago, things were definitely not upbeat. going on.ion was there were restrictions on military personnel show. and just in the last two or three or four years, there ha

day-to-day the system works well. >> also, the concern is people in america are moving back into the cities. if we don't have a system that is safe i think we are headed for trouble, and i know we have a responsibility to make sure there is enough funding for the infrastructure, the safetyinfrastructure, the safety part of it, and i just want america to know what you can still companies the system. we are going to fix it. >> you can cows with a couple in from colorado. theythey got to talking about the metro and had a great experience. i think it is more common than we think. >> thank you for being here and talking about the system. >> thank you, and i recognize mr. webster for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. i read the metro every day for five and a half years from pentagon city to the font to capital south. and you know, i think there are two things here. talking about more money, hiring, firing, all of that, but all i know is that every day that i ride there is no escalator broken. so i started watching three escalators. there are bunch of them. this is three. and i would

to deal with this problem and the breakdown of this recording system, the paper recording system, haldeman and nixon discuss let's put the same sort of system in that lyndon johnson had or something similar and keep a audio record of it. haldeman calls an aide he can trust because this would become one of the most closely-guarded secrets of this presidency. he called alex butterfield. who is the deputy assistant to the president who is the person who is dealing with the president more than anybody else, other than haldeman, and actually more face-time than haldeman because he is the person who takes documents in and out. and haldeman -- excuse me, butterfield in turn calls the secret service, the technical services division. they are the people who made sure that nobody outside of the white house was bugging the white house or none of the white house lines were being bugged. so they had the capability and the understanding. butterfield told me over the years when he went to al wong, the head of the technical services division, wong said, oh, here we go again. that he had been there -- how

the world. this transit system ought to be the crown jewel of the systems throughout the country. they get more money than any other system in the country but they spend more than any other system in the country. we need to bring alignment. safety has to be paramount. this is really important to the entire nation that we get this right. in addition to the monies that the federal government gives to the metro system also 40 percent of the metro rush hour riders are provided a federal employees are provided a subsidy to ride that system. new ceo is doing just that. what the federal transit administration has temporarily taken ever that authority and the administrator is here today to talk about that. that oversight needed to be done because that metro hasn't been able to do it appropriately. secretary fox has given one year to virginia and maryland and washington, d.c. to step up to the plate and do what is necessary on the oversight. and we passed the fast act in congress last year and strengthened fta's oversight authority and provided washington, d.c. with five years of increased

should be the crown jewel of transit systems around the country. have got to bring those things into a alignment and this needs to be a system and safety has to be paramount. for over 50 years, the metro system has benefited from support. it is important to the nation to get this right. the money that the federal government gives, providede writers are a subsidy to ride the system. workafety of people we with every day who depend on the government of being a safe and reliable system. despite that, the safe the reliability record has deteriorated. it has not switched its responsibility to operating. a culturales is change at metro. i am pleased the new ceo is doing that. transit federal administration has taken over and is here to talk about that oversight it needs to be done because metro has not done it appropriately. it onery fox has given year to step up to the plate. the oversight. we strengthened fda safety oversight authority and increased funding. for more citizens of america contributing to the system. this should be the crown jewel of the

i think he has paralyzed the system. i think the white house is being cautious, and i think he -- as a republican, i shouldn't care, or but just watching this, i can't help but feel that there is a gender piece to him getting treated with a lot of tenderness when she was harped on to get out. john: i don't fully disagree. up next, we go on the ground in indiana to preview trumps rally tonight. we are joined from south bend. ♪ john: rally sons of notre dame, sing your glory and sound her fame. we are joined by kate. who is covering donald trump's victory i don't know why they march. made me do the notre dame fight song, but i was happy to do it because you are there. ted cruz is doing a lot of stuff in that state, ted cruz doing -- donald trump is doing a bit less. the trump campaign is watching the ted cruz campaign pretty carefully. what do they think right now, what they are seeing from ted cruz in these last 24 hours before the vote starts? >> they believe it is an act of desperation, going up to a trump supporter and

the answer that i got to was that we need to change the people in the system. we need people who believe in these ideas, literally we need them to take over the reins of power. therefore the conclusion of the book, the very last bit says if you read this book, if if you believe in this and agree with me then this is the first step. this is what you have to do. you have to run for office. you have to run for office if that's what you think. that is the only way we are really going to bring about this fundamental change. that connects me to actually what i've been doing with a company that makes it easier for people to run for office. it's a crowd funding type of office. if you want to run for office or nominate someone you can quickly start raising money and get into office without depending on the big party machinery that tends to trap people. they have to argue whether that's business on the right or labor on the left, it's the same old power structure. that way getting a fresh generation for people to run for office at every level who truly believe in this kin

can't get into the system so you'll end up flooding out the bowl from two systems the stormwater coming downed the hill off of twin peaks as far as what we can do to affiliate /* alleviate but to move water au from the area but, either move water away quickly or store a place for the water to go. >> and the thing i'd like to point out that a lot of the solutions although it is you know small pocket of area of the city but you will have to actually have pipe along to. >> a mile and a half. >> a mile and a half to relieve the pressure so the impact won't be just to the area but impact to that the solution in as well. >> and would echo commissioner morans with the people that live in those areas like you stand an intense problem where were you live right there and difficult situation but i think hearing more information on the medics of predicting i guess the insistent rainy struggle with el nino right here in the middle so will happen climatic change and sea level rise is a complication i'll glad you're work working with you. >> and berkley. >> that's a good thing thank you. >> commission

the other kind of harshness of the u.s. system and something that is very distinctive is the use of solitary confinement. this is an example of one of many possible examples of what solitary confinement looks like. one of the most extreme prisons in the country called pelican bay which will talk more about later. there are about 80,000 to 100,000 people every day that are living in conditions like this. windowless cells where they are alone for 23 or 24 hours a day. without access to any sort of programming or activities or even calendar. this has expanded as some of the basis for mass incarceration. the severity and the scope of these systems are not just people who are incarcerated themselves. it all caps also that disenfranchisement that comes from having a criminal conviction on your record. about 6 million people are disenfranchised as a result of their convictions. this is very important as we are in an election year. all the conversation about which candidate can win. we have this horserace coverage. there's a certain kind

experience with the system. i was brutalized and arrested in the process of were -- i was thrown faced first into a set of lockers by an officer who , purely me for nothing because of my aggressive representation of someone in front of the commissioner. fortunately, i was acquitted. but i had to hire a lawyer and i had to fight against that unfair and unnecessary charge against me. incidentally, instead of my being released on my owner cognizance, the commissioner put a $5,000 bail on me and i said, why did you do that? you know i'm not going anywhere. she said, frankly, mr. murphy -- a white woman -- i think you are a danger to the community. well, you know, there it is. i am a lawyer. what other danger do i present? amy: last year i spoke with kevin moore, who lives in the gilmor housing projects and actually filmed part of the arrest of his friend freddie gray. moore talked about the relationship between the community and the police. >> i have been through so much personally in my life in west baltimore, just

we need the system to work. i think the region needs to come up with a dedicated funding source for metro. we can't do anything here in congress about it but i think it's something the region needs to do. but there is a changing of the the way to change people act within the system, the whole culture and it's difficult do. i think you, mr. wiedefeld, for the things you have done so far. i want to ask -- i know the march 16 shutdown caused a significant inconvenience to any of the region's commuters. but they released a series of safety directives to metro. among them were things that appeared to be routine maintenance including removing debris, replacing insulators and rail cover boards so i'm concerned about metro's efficiency in conducting inspection and repair, especially given the safe track plan is about to begin. i want to be sure if metro causes serious disruption in people's daily lives that you will be using the time to accomplish all the required maintenance. so first, were f.t.a.'s findings in may a re

they are the farm credit system. on behalf of our customer owners we look for to the next 100 years of serving rule communities and agriculture. mr. chairman, a variety of statements with me from groups representing producers, farmer owned cooperatives and others that i reinforced the importance of farm credits mission. i asked that those statements be made part of the hearing record. >> without objection. >> thank you. i'll be pleased to respond to your question. >> thank you very much and i apologize for the back and forth today. i know you understand about the votes that are occurring and members having to try to be several places at once. we very, very much appreciate all of your testimony and it's an important part of our deliberations going forward. i'm pleased that i made it back in time to introduce mr. jed welder. as i mentioned earlier he is taking time from a busy planting season to provide a producer perspective today. mr. weldon has served in both the u.s. marine, and the u.s. army and sever tours in afgh

the i.t. modernization fund. they're running a legacy i.t. system it cost a lot of money to keep a running back congresses and reluctant to give me money to buy anything you want me to run the old thing bin replace it in that does not work when you replace the big systems it cost a lot of money to run the old one. now the idea hopefully with savings for that period of time that is obviously the approximation. that intended to bridge that with the i.t. file and is with the current budget to give a long to build the new system. that is a pretty novel approach from a budgetary perspective but it is a huge improvement the leeway to replace these legacy systems to run the old even as we build the new. >> from my perspective and how that was implemented. but also the growth and strengthening of feinstein the we have not talked a lot about and to arrive the tools that are readily available. bin to make sure those tools are flexible and dynamic internal stagnant. to grow in the implemented it to be accessible within the federal government. >> that one of th

i do believe that the system needs an overhaul. dcannot take your car drive time and time again, and not have your oil changed. marijuana is being legalized all around the country in different young, so how do we hold men and women incarcerated for something that is being legalized? we need a system that is fair and honest, but does not take life.age of someone's that man in baltimore lost his life and he should not have. host: a couple things that you viewers,nt to show our first of all about overhauling the criminal justice system. one gop lawmaker says, the senate's criminal justice reform effort is dead and he said it is because many lawmakers think releasing more people from prison will increase criminal rates across the country. the other thing the caller talked about was that no one would be found guilty in this freddie gray death. this is from usa today. there are more trials to come, six officers were indicted. whosix baltimore officers were charged in connection with the april 2015 death of freddie gray, and the next case

the terrible abuse of the system. why would they even consider and we know to the whole idea came out of the late 18 hundreds supreme court case where it was actually just a note on the folder. it was not part of the decision. that corporations have that status but then citizens united strengthened it. we need to get that out of there. corporations are not people, they don't go to jail, you jail, you can't put a corporation in jail, so my answer is let's change that system. i think that is the most important part of it. thank you. >> let's see we can do a woman this time. >> what i would like to wish you happy st. patrick's day. i taught your book for seven years in ireland to students and they were all really responded to it and could relight to the irish situation. i wanted to know, what made you change and since you have changed have you ever felt under threat #. >> i talk about that in the new book quite significantly. i spent some time traveling around ireland to convince the irish people to avoid against paying t

the voting system is just part of the explanation for france.he second thing, it is the right for people to be in anger against the of -- government. it's not that the people are voting wrongly, it may say that the political class is not functioning, and that is s wrong politics. we did a lot of wrong politics. there was everything illegal, but not moral. there was socialization of bank debt. there is a system that needs to take the blame that people are giving. what we are seeingng is just a the people, but in a way the people are the soverereign. -- they areclass protesting the political class. the establishment left people behind. instead of pointing to the people, perhaps the establishment could understand that they better do good governance for the people. ewald: the thing is, the more you want people not to vote for the right wing parties, those people who want to protest, they know what to vote because they want to hurt. alan: yes, ok. the whole point t about democray -- it is not taught correctly in school. they say democracy means leade

but the measurement system is too complex. where i want to move this to is the veteran experience, asking if they're satisfied with access. in every center, we have a system called vet link. you go to a kiosk, you actually are asked whether you're satisfied with the access to care. 89% of veterans today are satisfied with the access to care throughout v.a.s. and i have all of your individual data, by the way. but we have to do better. we hired 17,000 new employees in the last fiscal year. that's a net number, a 10% improvement over the last two years. 2.2 million square feet we added of clinical space. we have a new scheduling system being rolled out now called vse, a new veterans application that they can schedule themselves. we have allowed direct scheduling in oddology and optometry. we have group practices now, we're sharing best practices and access across the entire system, and of course, as you know, we're working much closer than ever with our community partners to provide care. 57 million appointments last year, as the

sarah simmons is here with whore on the metro repair system. reporter: this is a bold plan, for sure. that explosion and fire on the tracks at the federal center southwest station. row general manager outlined the safe plan. it will accelerate the maintenance on the metro system by closing the system at midnight on weekends and some week night track work may start as early as 8:00 p.m. the plan includes work that will require track outrages for long periods of time. but those will primarily be above ground. metro says the need to do cannot be accomplished on weekends and off times alone. the work will have a big impact on rush hour service, too. riders will have to plan ahead. shuttle buses will serve closed stations. this will be an under taking that will require coordination around the region and it will be a big inconvenience for a while. this is a massive under taking. there's no doubt about it. internally we've been talking about, it's like a military operation. there's a lot of moving parts that have to work together very well. whether it

this is the customs and border patrol system. the entire system, that deals with passport control. this is just for last two months, from march 4th, 2016, to april 17th. the system has been down almost two total days, and this is a record of the time the system was down. the system we have to control our border and who's coming in is imploding. i don't know what's going on here. and i would ask maybe the chairman of government operations or whoever is in charge of this in our subcommittee to look at this. we have lost control of our borders, and your system that protects us, the main computer system, has been down, down, down, and i think this is something that needs to be looked at. i'm going to hand you a copiy of this and i would like you to respond to these statistics. >> are these i.c.e. statistics or customs and border protection? >> custom and border -- >> that's another agency, sir. >> yes, but this is a system that controls the passports and entry into the united states. and you're also in dhs. i would like to have a response for the record. >> we should get the witness be

are those two places they're both again, as we you got the train control system we have the built to use it more effectively turn on or use more features and have the business or operating practices catch up they require doing things we're not doing right now. >> so in a sense i'll let us get back to our go good work but 3 cars running from west portal into not into the loop on embarcadero but turning into that out bound platform on embarcadero and coming back and making the same west portal platform and going back and forth like that i realize it make maybe a dream but if it can be looked at i'll permanent appreciate that you. >> i suggest your dreams are in alignment with most of riders give us us something to strive for . >> good job. >> thank you mr. haley. >> that concluded my report. >> thank you go report i wanted to note a couple of things double berthing from the in bound riders nothing more frustrating i think that helps and relieves the early morning frustration and just want to touchback on the $0.25 cash surcharge if we could level the exceptions of what we see it sound

discussion on the welfare in the united states in response to the book "the human cost of welfare: how the system hurts the people it's supposed to help." this is an hour long aevent hosteded by the cato institute. -- hosted. -- in washington, d.c. >> good afternoon, welcome to the cato institute. appreciate you coming out today. this is a really important topic. i have a book forum here for the "the human cost of welfare" by phil harvey and lisa conyers. for those folks following online you can follow along on twitter at #catoevent or #thehumancostofwelfare. the united states government spent roughly 688 billion dollars to fund more than 100 anti-poverty programs. state and local governments spent an additional 300 billion on those and other programs. that means the government is spending close to a trillion dollars every year fighting poverty. if you want to go all the way back to 1965 when johnson declared war on poverty we have spent 22-23 trillion dollars fighting poverty. but what have we really accomplished over that period of time? if you use the census bureau's officials poverty numbers

the world. and this transit system really ought to be the crown jewel of the transit systems around the country.ct, they get more money per capita than any other system in the country but they also spend more money than any other system in the country. we've got to bring those things into alignment. this needs to be a system, safety has to be paramount. and for over 50 years, as mentioned, the metro system has benefitted by federal support. this is important to the entire nation that we get this right. in addition to the monies that the federal government gives to the metro system, also 40% of the metro's rush hour required, federal employees are provided a subsidy to ride the system. the safety of the people that we work with every day and depend on us to help operate the government depend on this system being a safe and reliable system. the safety reliability record has deteriorated. it's not switched its responsibility from building a system to operating and maintaining a system. what it takes, i believe, is a cultural change at metro. and i'm pleased that the new ceo i think is doing just th

in the absence of government the system function as a strong social glue that undergirded debate in the currency and was an expectation among members of the networks that others and networks would accept shillings. paper currencies always made passive consent from the users that they'll exchange bills for actual stuff. in somalia does pakistan for an individual classicism risks advertising trust in both himself and his clan. and then finally the absence of functioning government was a good thing about of paper money into space. supplied shillings was more or less fixed because there is no government to print more. in contrast quasi-function governments often recklessly put currency as they struggle to stay in power. take the belarusian ruble which was introduced in the 1990s became known as the bunny. partly because of the hair ingrate on the note but also its unique ability to propagate. the only group in the supply somalia shillings during the civil war came from counterfeiters, and given the high number of coded fix was limited because

the people with grievances with the system usually aren't in a position to change it and the people thatve the appetite to go through the work to change it. >> it seems to me, an interesting thing, if trump becomes the republican nominee and wins the general election, then trump will have control over the system in the next cycle. if trump were to win and to lose, it would be an interesting question to me what will then, who will then be ascending? will the forces of populism that have been unleashed by trump, will they be the dominant forces going forward in 2020 and therefore insist that this system be changed in some profound way or will the establishment regain the whip hand and say trump had his fun, we unleashed the force of populism and look where it got us and republican establishment can retake control and there by keep the system in tact despite the criticism that it's received in the cycle? i don't know the answer. >> the republican establishment is dead, dead, dead. i don't think it can be revived. what the trump movement will birth, if you will, is sort of a new republican p

it is the systems in place that are the trouble. it reminded me something the political theorist said when thinking about the holocaust and how normal people could behave to people in such an inhumane way. and her argument is there is nothing wrong with them but it is the system that makes people behave in terrible ways. i am not comparing, just in case the lawyers amongst you are getting ready to act, jet blue to the nazis. but i am arguing whether that is how we think about government, how we run schools, how we do health care, help families in poverty, and looking at the way businesses become giant corporations that captured how in such a focused way they can make decisions that are so distance from the people affected by them. we have designed and built a world in these areas that have become inhuman and the central argument for political reform needs to be how we do something about that and how we make the world more human. that is it for the moment. i would love to hear what you think and any questions you may have. [applause]

are those two places they're both again, as we you got the train control system we have the built to use it more effectively turn on or use more features and have the business or operating practices catch up they require doing things we're not doing right now. >> so in a sense i'll let us get back to our go good work but 3 cars running from west portal into not into the loop on embarcadero but turning into that out bound platform on embarcadero and coming back and making the same west portal platform and going back and forth like that i realize it make maybe a dream but if it can be looked at i'll permanent appreciate that you. >> i suggest your dreams are in alignment with most of riders give us us something to strive for . >> good job. >> thank you mr. haley. >> that concluded my report. >> thank you go report i wanted to note a couple of things double berthing from the in bound riders nothing more frustrating i think that helps and relieves the early morning frustration and just want to touchback on the $0.25 cash surcharge if we could level the exceptions of what we see it sound

through the breakdown of the system. no sooner was the war over than the business community and the rich went to work to undo what had happened in the 1930s. to undo the high taxes on corporations and brbrig them down to where i just told you they were, to undo the tax on wealthy people to bring them down to where they are today. and therein lies a lesson that it was the upsurge of a militant organized working class that overcame for a while the tendency of capitalism to popolarize. butut the lesson here was better learned by the business andnd the ricich than by the wog people because the business and the rich went to work. no sooner wawas the war r over, they went to work to undo what had been done in the 1930s. the economic history of the united states in the last 30, 40, 50 years has been the undoing of the new deal. that was the name roosevelt gave to what he did in the 1930s. from which the following lesson can be further distilled. the problem for corporations and the rich, who keep running a system that plunges us
