but for 28% of americans who are in the market to buy a home, that dream may be unattainable, becausehey are not likely to qualify for a mortgage. according to a new study, 28.4% of people who have applied or looked for a loan have a credit score of 620 or lower. 620 is the cutoff point. tightening lending standards combined with short sales and foreclosure has brought home ownership down to 65%. that's the lowest rate of homeownership since 1995. but the last few years of turmoil should have taught us something. that owning a home is for most people hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt. for many american's it's their primary tool for building wealth. but tell that to those who are still under water on their home loans. owning a home has turned into an american nightmare for them. sure the housing crisis was fuelled by aggressive real estate agents and greedy lenders, and home buyers eager to borrow more than they can chew. renting your home is a perfectly honorable thing to do. americans [ technical difficulties ] >>> tell me what you think by tweeting me at alreal money. >>> man

he's pitting the unattainably rich to the unimaginable rich. it's bad enough that billionaires are forced to go to separate schooled scoolz, fly on their own planes, and often end up behind bars. but now, some billionaires are being left behind. >> even if you have $1 billion, that is not enough to make it on the forbe 400 list. "forbes" is out this morning with its 32nd annual lift of the 400 wealthiest americans. this year the rich are getting richer. >> first of all, you need to have $1.3 billion. there were 61 billion arizona that weren't even rich enough to make the "forbes" 400 this year. >> stephen: i don't know who to feel worse for. those poor billionaires or "forbes" magazine who just lost subscribes of scribers purpose folks, i don't know what to say. it's a sad day to be a billionaire. you toil your whole life to build a meaningful legacy for your family, only to find out that billion dollars you earned was worthless. except for the money part. ( laughter ) that part's worth $1 billion. with that in meend, it's time to revisit my lu

when one gazes at the unattainable, what else can one do but despair.f only i can find a hand to perform my will. show me and you shall win her. but you've dropped your bracelet out of the window. because my hand had grown so thin. it is she who is devouring me, devouring us all. what's she got in her hand? the colorite bottle to make water into stock. we use it instead of gravy. get out! you drained the goodness out of us. we drained the goodness out of you. we take the blood and give you back the water with the colorite. i'm going now, but i shall stay in this house for as long as i want. why does bengtsson wear a medal? for faithful service. has he no faults? yes, many great ones, but you don't win medals for them. oh, you have many secrets in this house. like everyone else let us keep ours. do you love honesty? yes, quite. sometimes i'm seized with a passionate desire to say everything i think. and yet i know that if people were really honest the world would come to an end. the other day, i was at a funeral at the church. it was very impressive very

this is a huge and important task that to some extent is unquantifiable and perhaps unattain able. how do we quantify a college that serves more than 80,000 students a year and by all measurements including from the commission has quality education for the students that it serves. san franciscans aren't confused about the value of this institution and for the health and well being of the city of san francisco. but the quantifying that value is a real challenge. i want to thank the supervisors from the city to working to pull that together. weblg deeply as city college faculty and members of community about the importance of this institution and see that we work hard to ensure it remains a viable institution. i want to mention the report doesn't fully capture what has happened in the last year or so since the accreditation challenges came to the forefront and since many accreditations came. the college adopted but don't reflect the numbers which is incredibly different. the same with the staffing. there to 150 less fact in san francisco this fall compared to last fall. thank you. >>

and he said it's unattainable. what he means by unattainable. i served with hal rogers on the appropriations committee. it is inconsistent with the responsibilities of operating government from a conservative republican standpoint either on the defense side or the nondefense side, discretionary spending. normally what you would do, the house has a 967 number and you split the difference. you're talking about 1.2 let's say for the sake of argument. that would be a possible compromise. mow the problem you have, you have somebody who wants to be president of the united states, republican united states senator, very concerned about getting in the good graces of the republican. mark rubio said i will not vote for a c.r. unless it defunds obama care something that clearly mr. rubio's got to know an irrational request of the president. so why where do we find ourselves? we find ourselves with mr. boehner understanding that's not reasonable. they try to construct a policy that would say to these republican hard liners these objectionists you can vote fo

it seems to me that ted cruz wanted the house to take an unattainable position.solidarity with the house. >> can you explain south carolina in my answer is always no. i can't really explain ted cruz either. the whole process has been rather mind boggling. republicans are furious for ted cruz because he is essentially running for president and he's not going to have to suffer the consequences of what he is doing and everyone else will. the backlash against him is certainly justified. whether he gets the filibuster is the question. and i think there is a very good chance he won't. there are enough votes, perhaps, to prevent that happening. >> what is interesting about many things, but the idea that ted cruz is running for president, what we have seen out of this republican party are congressional representatives who don't care about the national party because they care about conservative challenges. they are putting themselves at the congressional level. now you have people in the senate who are looking to be president and are really out for themselves. i feel like

estimate how many more nuclear plants could be put out of commission before those targets begun unattainable? >> i do not know but i can tell you but i hope to have discussions with the industry to understand better where that is going. nuclear power plants exist, still have pretty low marginal costs which make attractive but as we know, the lower natural gas prices lowered the clearance price in many parts of the country. >> and again i want to make the point what we were talking about earlier that there are no loan guarantees in existence right now. they are conditional. and to finish up, i don't want to take all my time, hold your applause, if the administration was serious about addressing climate change it would harness the clean energy from nuclear power as we have been talking about. at a minimum it would follow the law. i heard discussions about following the law today and it would reconstitute the yucca mountain program and provide a solid basis for the nrc to issue new plant licenses. i thank you for your time and your testimony and i yield back. >> we are following the law. >> the

. >> he says it is unattainable. i service them for a long time and he said that it is inconsistent with the responsibilities of operating government on a responsible level. either on the defense side or the nondefense side. discretionary spending. as a result, what you would number and is have a split the difference. you're talking about 1.2. 1.02 for the sake of argument. that would be a possible compromise. be -- youody wants to have somebody who wants to be the president of the united states and is concerned about getting into the good graces of the republican party, marco rubio. he says he will not vote for the cr unless they defund obamacare. he knows this is not rational. where do we find ourselves? we find yourselves with mr. boehner. we construct a policy which said to these obstructionists, you can go for defunding obamacare. we have a procedure that says that the senate can reject it and pass, without sending back to us, this. >> and that did not work. >> that did not work. conservative groups in the repub

i would suggest completely unattainable. that's okay.work for how this thing is going to unfold. but the key issue, fred, clearly is what about this civil war? we could have a real hurry up and wait scenario where the inventory the syrians give in terms of what they have and where they have it is reconciled, our intelligence estimates bounce up against what they provide, and we all agree there's some gaps, then you galvanize the inspection protocol and get the folks in place. then you rush up to the boarders, go what about this civil war here, guys, hezbollah, the syrian regime working together to try to kill insurgents and al qaeda. are you guys going to stop because this inspection will not take place if there's an active civil war. there has to be separation of powers and everybody has to agree to allow this to occur and that hasn't been addressed. >> that still needs to be in writing and agreed upon in principle because this agreement is really about chemical weapons, it says nothing about stopping the civil war, nothing about stoppi

that is the position that is unattainable if you do not know what your opponents, what the other sidethe aisle, what the other side of the building is going to do. host: a story this morning saying that the house plans an effort looking at the debt limit and attaching certain provisions which would allow for an extension of the debt limit for . would you support that? guest: we have got to see what that is. we have a conference this morning at 9:00 to see what all the proposals are going to be, and when they're going to try to vote on it. i personally believe we need to weish the c.r. first before go onto the debt limit, but it will be interesting to hear what their reasoning is for wanting to go in and bring the debt filling up. host: what do you think the reasoning is? guest: i do not know. maybe always keep a ball in play. you know, we are waiting on the senate to act. offense is moved to give them something else to look at. i do not know. i mean, we have not heard yet what the exact plan is going to be. host: what about the shutdown of government? guest: the shutdown of government

the sequester level is unattainable and unrealistic. that's the chairman of your appropriations committee who is responsible, and has been for many years, for judging what are the appropriate expenditures for our government to maintain programs important to our country, to our economy, and to our national security. mr. leader, we have another issue beyond the continuing resolution which will also, as the gentleman knows, have a very substantial effect on the fiscal credibility of america, on the fiscal stability of america, and the growth of our economy and the confidence of our people and of people around the world, and that is the extension of our debt limit. this is going to be a shorter colloquy than we usually have because the issues that confront us are so very, very important. i want to tell the majority leader that i have -- we have not had any discussions about a possible compromise, nor have i had any discussions with mr. mccarthy about a possible compromise, nor have i or the leader had any substantive conversations with the

a rescue unattainable if it wasn't for these two courageous teens. >> just a couple guys out in theirou aa good morning. how are you? >> doing pretty good. >> i'm good, how are you? >> we're glad it have a chance to talk to you about this moment. i want to find out how this all came about. what happened that day? just a regular day, the two of you out in the car? >> yeah, we went to go pick up a friend. he had just gotten off at a walmart and we were going to go pick him up. >> you are driving down the road. something made you look at the car next to you, what was it? >> it was this guy. >> i looked in the car next to me and i saw a woman in the back seat. but, i mean, the reason that i honestly looked was because she was pretty attractive. as i was trying to explain it to aaron. look, this lady is pretty beautiful and i could tell by her facial expressions on what she was trying to tell me it was very serious and i paid closer attention and i could see her mouthing the words, help me. >> so, then, how did you ale alert -- what did you say to aaron? >> i was telling, man, look, she's

we have the issue of chronic unemployment, of growing education unattainment, where our standing in the world is slipping. i can worry about the fact that we won't fund the research and development necessary, working with the private sector, to come up with those new ideas that lead to new products that lead to new jobs. darpa, a government agency, helped create the internet. then the genius of our private sector unleashed the power that the world has never seen. this is what america is known for -- discovery, entrepreneurship, moving our own country ahead. and this is what i would hope we would get back to. let's get through this process. let's get through this quagmire, and let's keep america being what america can be. mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. inhofe: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma. mr. inhofe: mr. president, i do have time right now that is scheduled. however, my very good friend from alabama had one other mention to make, and i'd like to yield maybe, let's say, two minutes of my time to the senator from alabama. mr. sessions: mr. preside

and he says it's unattainable.t he needs, i served with hal rogers for a long time on the appropriations committee. it is inconsistent with the responsibilities of operating government at a responsible level. from a conservative level standpoint. either on the defense side or nondefense side. discretionary spending. as a result, normally the senate has a $1.058 number. the house has a 967 number. split the difference. so you're talking about $1.2, let's say, $1.02, for the secretary of argument. that would be a possible compromise. the problem is you have mebody twhants to be republican united states senator that is trying to get in the good graces, mark rubio, saying i will not vote for a c.r. unless it defunds obamacare. something that clearly mr. rubio's got to know is not possible. and an irrational ask for the president to get the signature. where do we find ourselves? we have mr. boehner knowing in is unreasonable and mr. cantor so they tried to construct a policy which would say to their republican hard line

unemployment pity the current level of unemployment is economic the unsustainable, politically unattainablesocially unacceptable. so all of us here in the commission and i am happy to have all of my colleagues of the commission today with me. all of those, not only one, but the collective effort all of us want to work with you intensively to deliver as much of our growth agenda, sustainable growth agenda as we can. we are mobilizing all of the issues that we have, but of course we have to be honest not all instruments are at the european level. some of them are at a national level. and i want to focus on the implementation of the decisions that are most crucial now. usn planet and financing the real economy. we need also to avoid a jobless recovery. you're not therefore must stand up the basis of the reforms. over country's specific recommendations set up the member statements in this respect. there is what can be done at the national and what can be done at the european level. the focus would be also on what matters most for the real economy, exploiting the potential of the single market c

many more nuclear plants do you think could be put out of commission before the targets become unattainable that i do not know. i can tell you that we are -- i'm hoping to have discussions with the industry try to understand better where it is going. nuclear power plants that exist still do have pretty low marginal cost. which make them attractive. as we know, the lower natural gas prices have lowered the clearing price in many the part of the country. >> absolutely. i want to make the point we were talking about earlier, there are loan guarantee in existence right now. they are conditional. i'll just say to finish up. i won't take all my time. hold your applause, please. if the administration was serious about addressing climate change, i think it would harness the clean energy from nuclear power as we've been talk about. at a minimum it would follow the law. it would reinstitute the yucca mountain program. and provide a solid basis to measure new plant licenses. thank you for your time. i yield back. >> we're following the law. >> the gentleman yields back. at this time, you all may have
