educators say they are concerned that the state will continue to underfund the public school system which leaves students unprepared for the 21st century. >> protecting the status quo of where we are now. it's appreciated but we've had cuts over the last three to five years that have been massive and so it's not so much protecting where we are but getting us back to a place where we're a dequately educating our s tudents. >> this year, the cutbacks, my but got cut pretty much in half on that. >> reporter: educators in this room are still waiting here in san jose to hear governor brown to present present -- to present his budget. in berkeley, the mayor knew what he did and didn't want to hear from the governor. >> and berkeley, when they cut the counties, when they cut the health and welfare, we'll be k we'll be one of the few cities cut because we provide those offices -- services ourselves. >> reporter: governor brown said today he couldn't touch k through 12 education mainly because it had suffered repeated cuts in the last couple of years. reporting live in san jose, jade hernandez, kt

continuing to underfund indigent defense and continuing to tolerate excessive investigator caseloads and excessive attorney caseloads, if we continue to do that we substantially impair the ability to provide good reputation. >> thank you very much. wow. 53 cents to a dollar.

[laughter] and tell us about this battle that you have been going through where, you know, it almost sounds like a horror movie where they are going after you with a buzz saw and at the same time, they have used contract attorneys to try to undercut the work that your office does. >> well, the problem in fresno, it is hot. trezz know is hot of course in the -- fresno is hot of course in summertime. it is hot all the time for me. i think the problem just mentioned right now is disparity in the funding theme as opposed to the ore parties involved in the criminal -- other parties involved in the criminal justice system. most of the funding agencies for us i

double hit, with the furloughs and think it is a travesty and crime to our students that we're so underfunded and with the budget, our state budget, depending on the state budge wet are -- we are forced to do this and must do this in order to keep things like class size low, keep vital services during the school day and also employ our teachers and the rest of the district staff. it is with a very heavy heart we do this. if we had the money, i believe we should give transportation to everybody but that isn't the reality today. and it probably will not be the reality for many years. the superintendent opened up with the statement abousuperint with the statement about state budget. it is very dismal. we're doing the best that we can here. but we are -- we are committed to protecting the education of students during the school day and so, we are forced to -- to eliminate some of our transportation gradually. we know it will have an impact on our families, great impact. i think it is a very good suggestion that we meet with m.t. and ask them to help us. i respectnie request that we have this -- r

we are underfunded. commissioner mendoza: -- commissioner maufas: i am well prepared for somebody to come to the board of education speaking around this. when we try to shift things that have been in place for so, so long and have done so much for general well-being, there is going to be a wave of push back. and i know that. this is one of those moments as well. it is and not paid plus situation for families -- it is not a plus situation for families for them to work and get their kids to school -- to interrupt that worked-out regularity that they experience day today and try to devise something that is going to support them. i know what that is like. this is one of those things. we are going to continuously hear the stress it is causing. this is some of the work we have to do. what i would like if possible, ms. o'keefe and mr. gardiner -- i think lots of families are so used to having something that it is necessary to them. how are we going to develop what is necessary versus something that has been in

seventy two billion dollars budget deficit and in the long term future three trillion dollars in underfunded public employee pension plans that you know you know it is highly disputed by just about everybody even the most conservative economists it's only a trillion and that's a highly disputed are going to be the problem exists in a lot of these states are facing huge budget deficits but is it the fault because it is everyone right now is essentially painting out to be the picture that is the fault of the you know not the i would say public workers are the ones that are going to have to pay but isn't it perhaps the fault of the government the law makers that decide to spend it well i don't know any of the economic calamity and how it's all come to get it's the fault of wall street as the former president george w. bush said wall street got drunk and now we're asking workers to clean up the party that we weren't invited to in the first place the. issue here isn't workers workers weren't bankrupting states before when they had these we just the issue is the downturn of the economy and this wa

so a lot of great research goes by the wayside because it is underfunded. the cornerstone of cancer research is what these clinical trials are, and they deserve to be covered. after recovering from cancer, children can no longer be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions. that . in the future, what are we going to do? do they need to worry whether they will be in shorter not? not in my country. that is not acceptable. also providing preventive services without charging co- payments and deductibles, or co- insurance, they can detect childhood cancers earlier because early protection is the key to survival -- early detection is the key to survival. we pay over $500 just in copays because we see a series of specialists every year. to a family of six, $500 in one copiague is rather expensive. the affordable care act eliminates annual and lifetime caps on coverage. that helps eliminate one road to bankruptcy for many people. cancer is very expensive. oftentimes people hit their caps before they even hit the hospital -- before they even leave the hospital.

in many experts' opinions it is badly underfunded. the best analogy is you lose 50% of your 401(k) back in 2009, you earn 8% as the market gets better in 2010. take the money and buy yourself a plaza tv. >> what's wrong with that? oh. thank you, scott. >>> more than 120 suspected members or associates of the mafia are in jail this morning. 800 federal agents completed a massive round-up in new york, new jersey and rhode island yesterday targeting alleged members of the mob. the u.s. attorney general eric holder accused some of the people that were arrested of extortion, racketeering and murder. >> some of the murder victims were shot in a public bar because of a dispute over a spilled drink. >> the arrests are expected to weaken mob activity. holder says his ultimate goal is to eliminate the mob altogether. >>> just getting word of a new accident in san francisco this morning. mike has the details for us. >> good morning, brent and laura. on northbound 280 out of daley city, reports of a four-car accident. we have a lot of details com

we are looking at more than $15 billion in underfunded pension obligations.he city has got to more than $1 billion in just a few years in a parking meter money. we have debts on top of the pension obligations. how are you going to answer this crisis? will you find cuts or will you raise revenue? >> we have to begin by looking at the entire budget. we know there is waste, fraud, inefficiencies in this city's budget. we need to look at each department. we need to conduct audits. the popular term is a "forensic audit." we have to look at each line line by line and immediately began to cut back those deputies that report to the deputies, those patriot's petitions that have existed in the city of chicago that are protected by the aldermen and other folks -- we have to send a strong message to the voters that we are going to reform government and we are going to start by getting our fiscal policy in order. that means collecting all of those unpaid water bills because someone knows someone who works at city hall and do not pay their water bills. we will take the sur

problem exists and his opponents have already tried to name most of it apparently because they are so underfunded compared to rahm emanuel. so it... on the other hand, this is just not where he wanted to be on this day in this campaign. >> rose: so there's serious question as to whether he'll be on the ballot. >> well, i think it is an open question. because now you have an upper court ruling, the supreme court is not perceived as friendly. i would say when you asked about politics a few moments ago i think in chicago there's flix the d.n.a. of people who are appointed. >> rose: that's why we love chicago. >> right. it's just, you know, you split open a vein and there's political considerations that you can't really say anyone did anything wrong, it's just that when you have law that could be perhapsed look at both ways you might give the benefit of the doubt who-to-somebody who has a political edge. but in the appellate court the judges have no particular love lost-- well, two of them-- politically they meant nothing one way or the other to rahm and in the state supreme court where you have judg

if we don't confront public pensions that are underfunded, an amount no one actually knows because they're by ordinary accounting standards, we face long-term problems that it's not clear we can afford. e.j. says where is it we not have the money and have bad policies? that's a good example. we don't have the money to pay the pensions that we promised. nobody has the money. the federal government doesn't have the money. i don't know where it's going to come from. those are the structural problems we'll have to deal with in the long term and i'm not sure we're ready to face those yet. >> ckatty kay, there's the cros occurrence in the republican party. a lot of tea partiers feeling like, wait a minute, we just saw this lame duck session. did they miss the message of the election? there's a lot of accommodation there. you heard senator graham say it as well that they didn't bargain for. >> no. tea partiers are saying we're disappointed with what washington is doing even since the election and now, of course, they'll face two new challenges on raising the debt ceiling and spending levels for t

part of it is underfunding of the pension system. so you have to be careful about making these comparisons and asking what they mean. there are a lot of americans out there suffering right now, too many who are suffering, and they do not have health care, they do not have the compensation system that the federal employees do, and many of the contractors do. but that does not mean we should cut federal compensation. it may mean that we make sure that everyone in america has access to the same. our caller is basically making us aware of that, and that is something to put on the table. host: what percentage of federal workers are members of unions? guest: e has been declining over the past five years or so. we are trying to come up with a figure -- i really do not know. 15% to 20% 80. guest: have the union's offer their -- 15% to 20%, maybe. host: have the unions offered cuts? guest: i am quite supportive of the notion of pulling out jobs at the middle and the top. and driving those resources down to the bottom. a lot of union members a

according to the states, pensions are underfunded by $1.5 trillion i believe, but -- or maybe just 1 trillion, but when you use a proper discount and account for it in an economically sound way, they are underfunded by $3 trillion. it's a huge problem. states increasingly rely on skipping their pension payments in order to balance the books. virginia, for example in this last year, skipped its pension payment to balance the books. that just underminds and exacerbates a very difficult problem. >> host: governor chris christie in new jerseyments to do that, no solutions, just cut. >> guest: i think that if you make an unsustainable promise to someone, you are not doing naivers in the long run. i want to tell my 8 month old daughter you're not likely to see as big a social security as i saw, so plan for it, get ready for it now. i think that's a much more compassionate approach than to say, yeah, it's going to be there. don't save. you'll be fine. displs i know this -- >> host: i know this complicates the picture, but let me ask about the fiscal woes of the state. they are asking whethe

indian health services have been historically underfunded, not been able to keep up with the demands of indian country, and in addition health care improvement act has not been reauthorized, and i would as these disperties continue to expand, and i think that this is essential to retain this portion of that health care reform act because it does two things. it brings equity and attention to a first americans that's been denied for many, many years through the history of this nation, and it reaffirms our trust responsibility that is in the law and constitution. a repeal of this health care reform law would be punitive over all, and it would be destructive specificically to indian country. i would ask for your consideration of this amendment, and that would assure that our trust responsibility is honored and that first americans have a rightful place in accessing health care as it was promised and yet to be delivered. the health care reform act was the most important document to deal with indian health care needs in this country in over two decades and to repeal that is to repeal the c

the system is underfunded. there is more to it than that. the market has been monopolized. we have local utility companies who have developed cozy relationships with the municipalities, which are charging people for their services without improving the quality of services provided in any way. the second most important area is to day-monopolized the utilities market. the -- de-monopolize the utilities market. authorities should make sure that de-monopolizing regulations should be adopted. this is an important area of work. without it, we will not be able to change the situation. >> before people turn over to the home owners' associations, municipal and regional authorities must do everything to make sure that this housing is transferred at the proper level. you cannot just dump some dilapidated housing on them hoping they will spend their last sure to repair the house. it is not right. they are trying to do that in certain areas. despite the discount in rates -- who asked the question? >> i would like to tell our assistance who have the right to reduced rates that one must c

indian programs remain the most underfunded programs in the entire federal government. in spite of the administration's efforts to improve funding for indian health services, but we recognize it's quite significant. the same can be said for nearly every other federal indian program. in an era where the federal spending pot is shrinking, competition for a slice of the pie will be fierce. but our resolve to fight for the funding levels must remain high. we cannot be deterred in our fight to achieve the funding levels that are native people deserve. funding levels that are proportionate to the challenges that we face in indian country. funding levels that are not eaten up by inflation. now, relatively speaking, funding for federal indian programs of mall in the overall scheme of the federal budget. but in times of deficit, as as we see now extraordinary high deficit, congress fights the hardest over which of these small items defined. and you need to fight hard to keep which you have an even harder to get what you need. so here's a thought on how we might get there and pre

so a lot of great research goes by the wayside because it's underfunded. the cornerstone of cancer research is what these clinical trials are and they deserve to be covered. after recovering from cancer, children can no longer be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions. that's one of our biggest fears. if my husband were to lose his job, no one is going to take us. and in the future, what are they going to do? do they deserve to worry if they worry whether they are going to be insured or not. not in my country. no. it's not acceptable. and also requires new plans to provide preventive services without increasing regular checkups that can detect childhood cancers because earliest detection is key to survival. we pay right now over zhrrs 500 in just co-pays because we see a series of specialists and to a family of six, $500 in one co-pay is rather expensive. the affordable care eliminates lifetime caps on coverage. that helps eliminate one road to bankruptcy for many people. cancer is very expensive and oftentimes hit their caps. they hit their caps b
