[applause] it's not really justice to treat unequaled equally.ou have to do more to be able to create that opportunity and that pathway for those families that are not having the same skill of speaking english as others. anyway we have done that. california has 6 billion students. 2 million are designated english language learning and that means extra money for the school and as well as for low income families. it's pretty amazing. i don't know what the affluent families are doing. they are not producing or something because the schools, have the kids on the schools are from low-income families. so you know there it is. [applause] but we understand that and we are doing something about it. there are a lot of individual issues. what's important is that the power you represent is growing and it's growing in really important ways. if someone said our connection with mexico is so close. it wasn't all that long ago. 1769 carlos and perez had occupied san diego. you didn't know california started the occupy movement. he said occupy san diego and occupy

proposal beverly mentioned gets a lot of attention and part of that is because the wages are more unequal over time social security used to cover 90% of all earnings and now it is 83-84 percent so if we could get back to the 90% and that would raise it up to the upwards of $200,000. it is serious question. >> host: bill from north carolina. hello. >> caller: good morning. how are you? >> host: fine. thank you, go ahead. >> caller: i am a retired auto maker who retired at 59. i have a pension and took social security at 62 actually. i still work part-time jobs because i need something to do. and i don't have complaints. but i often wonder when they first instituted social security what makes me wonder is was the government really concerned about older people and their having some kind of income? or did they figure people don't live that long and we will have a butt load of money to do whatever we want with? >> bill, i think the reason for social security in 1935 was to eliminate poverty at older age. it was a problem back then. it is much less a problem today but without social security it
