fact that we're looking at iran right now as a potential threat nuclear threat well that is an unintended consequence of taking out saddam hussein and iraq look iran's only concern was what was iraq going to do to us today what was saddam hussein going to do us today to us today we take them out now we deal with this as an issue. stein did you want to. comment for all of that time if you gentlemen add to that that the you know the problem in so-called problem in iran you know is really emblematic of a very short sided foreign policy and in fact the the the potential for a brand to acquire nuclear weapons. you know at this point it's it's a potential but it is not actually a reality at this point however there are countries in the middle east who do have nuclear weapons right now who are outside the limits of the nonproliferation treaty and that includes israel and that includes pakistan and that includes india so it pays to have an evenhanded and inclusive approach if we want to solve the problems of nuclear proliferation we need to start by creating a nuclear free middle east and that me

what we have found is the loss of unintended consequences was very true in this case. the initial law passed was for mobile truck operators to be able to operate in the city, to bring a diversity of food in a variety of areas. when the code was written it restricted the commercial zones specifically. so when we printed out the map, what you see, and what happens is most people just fixate on where the most areas of concentrated in red is where you are supposed to be able to operate. so for them it's an easy area to try to identify. what we found was that most of the people wind up asking for the financial district, the market street area. those zones that are identify there had, where there was a concentration of many lunchtime diners and restaurants which creates a level of conflict. with notification, usually the first thing the department hears they are like food within 300 feet of where i am. they object to the what is perceived as economic imbalance, the perception is that the mobile trucks do not. so in this specific case we're trying to address -- the supervisor

you'd be like get the government out of subsidizing farmers fine but there are all these bizarre unintended consequences by how involved the government is in everything at this point so how do you want tangle that all the plug or do you i mean that's that's a great philosophical question in the sense and that's why i don't really focus on you know sort of government subsidies and food stamps and farm subsidies as my core issues because yeah that's a problem but again it's not the big problem you know the big problem in my opinion is the federal reserve control and trying to micromanage centrally planned the economy the too big to fail banks that can do whatever they. and then get away with it i mean those are the big macro issues as far as government and big sort of crony business ruining the economy and the other stuff is sort of just payoffs so so i actually i believe that too big to fail is they actually love the food stamp programs because it just keeps keeps the sort of disenfranchised masses quiet while they continue their scams and that's and so that's why those are my big issues so

sanctions against iran well how about this though there's an unintended consequence of turkey on friday acknowledges surgeon his gold exports this year is related to payments for imports of iranian natural gas so this is a way that iran has been able to bypass sanctions but does it just move gold more into the arena of a monetary metal they're using gold's of pay for resources actually this rather than give give more credibility to gold as a monetary metal i think it just shows that it is a monetary amount it is a monitor a metal pillar particularly used for private and i think of the type of monetary metal one that can be used to safeguard the user from any sort of to college terry an overreach by anyone whether it's the domestic government or whether it's an international imperial force so it's the same reason that americans might use or buy gold prices that they think mean maybe higher than what they'll be in six or twelve months they may want to safeguard their property they're afraid that someone might try to you know take their money for his or account whatever it is so they use g

on it than have to pay that debt i don't know could go either way but it is one of those weird unintended consequences which we see so often with so many things when we're talking about anything in the financial system and this is actually something that i've heard other critics bring up in other kinds of programs that have been pitched in terms of student loan debt forgiveness programs they go oh great this is this is such an amazing program forgive these student loans of the debt but they get stuck with a tax bill these indebted student so how much does that really help them if they still have this tax bill when they couldn't afford. they're student loans so this is something that keeps coming up when we've heard these kind of pitches and programs for debt forgiveness it's it's one of these these weird aspects that you know it's a complex system and there are always things that you are expecting or unintended consequences it's not like you can just wipe it out and it just disappears there are consequences under the origin only not unfortunately not should that be changed it sure seems s

and those included some unintended consequences and just general sort of fears we had about what this might look like. it's micro units proliferates in our city and particularly we're concentrated in areas such as south of market. that included the potential for escalating rents in the neighborhood, displacing families who currently live there. a drain on public resources with the increased density, et cetera. and i'm happy to say that we brought those concerns to supervisor wiener and were able to sit down and produce this compromise proposal. i'm grateful to the supervisor for hearing our concerns and working with us to craft something that i think we can all live with. what this does is allow us to try this experiment. maybe it will really be helpful in serving a certain market niche. maybe it will relax the pressure on the housing market. but in case those horrible things that we dreaded happening were to occur, it will not happen in a large scale with a large impact on our communities. and it was just too much of a risk to go whole hog and unbrideled on this. so, thank you very m

and then of course there are the unintended consequences of a felony conviction. consequences that really can cause great damage to a young life for many decades out. the very three things that can keep someone successfully in his or her recovery, access to housing, education and employment are put farther out of reach because of a felony conviction, especially in a down economy, someone with a felony has great difficulty even accessing 5 a job that pays minimum wage. putting these felony convictions to a whole population of young people, we really perpetuate a chronic underclass which benefits none of us. and then of course there's the inequity in the criminal justice system. even though we can show that drug use rates are quite similar in all different ethnic communities and african-americans are 13 times greater likelihood of being convicted of a felony of simple possession. then of course there's also the savings that we could experience, nonpartisan, independent legislative analyst office has determined that there would be $159 million annually of savings at

the unintended consequences are out of control. look, people are going to get laid off. we're hearing that already 'cause companies just don't want to pay for health care. if you have a job, your hours might get cut to part-time or consultant. my brother just got hired as a consultant 'cause nobody wants to pay health care. then there is the premium angle of it. we hear at news corps, our premiums are going up because it is getting more expensive. everything is going to be affected by this and we've been saying it since the canaan -- nancy pelosi saishe had to read the darn thing. >> i know your criticism is they didn't read it before they passed it, but one of the big criticisms here is that there was no cost control in the law, so here we are. >> well, it's going to be that way. health care costs are rising everywhere. it's a universal problem. the thing is the people are going to try to find ways to get around this in the sense that it's going to cost them more and if they can find ways, they'll do it. you got 2200 pages of regulation that you're right, nobody has rea

currently have insufficient access to contraceptives and $5.7 billion could be saved, preventing unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions. dr. avis jones-deweever, how does the u.n. come up with this $5.7 billion figure? >> if you look at certain developing nations, there is not good access to contraception. that cost money in terms of healthcare, lack of productivity of an untapped human capital resource. >> and maternal and childbirth -- death, rather, and complicated births? >> exactly. having access to contraception allows women to not only space their children, decide when they will have their children, as well as stay in school, get educated, get a good job and save their lives due to unneeded complications in childbirth that they wouldn't have gone to had they had access to affordable contraception. >> this is clearly the report i don't think you can argue. you can argue with the numbers but not the facts. you have to also take into consideration, one, where is this money coming from that would provide the contraception worldwide. number two, there is religious and cultural issues

recently dissolved our redevelopment agencies across the state for various reasons, but one of the unintended consequences was that it eliminated one of the great funding sources for our affordable housing work locally. prop c restores that source essentially to the same level and continue to provide that long-standing commitment. >> thank you. starchild, can you offer some comments for the opposition? >> sure, and thank you again for having us. proposition c would actually subsidize housing for people earning more than the median income in san francisco among others and would reduce the amount of units in new development which go to so-called affordable housing, which isn't really even all that affordable. san francisco desperately needs more afrldable housing but this mer err, which essentially brings the san francisco redevelopment agency back from the dead, is not the way to do it. the redevelopment agency has a long history some would say of racism and certainly cronyism, lack of accountability, that's one of the reasons they were closed down last year by the democratic governor. we beli
