have broken out there these are regimes that have traditionally been supported by the united states in the same way that mubarak was supported by the united states they must be very worried i mean it seems as if the u.s. has abandoned mubarak do you think that they could be concerned that america's about to abandon them i think a lot of started. to declare a lot of changes and also in jordan there's a lot of the change i think what is going on in egypt it will affect most of the middle east and not only in the middle of the area because it really is as we watch now all the t.v. around we see that all the international community is following is going on because of fix the economy in the financial and even the stability and security in many other countries is normally the. reason to feel just to stop any short of. unusual which is a question that thousands of people are asking here in cairo as well what exactly is the military planning to do there out there on the streets but they keeping a very very low profile the other point of course as was mentioned here is the role of islamised groups and my co

that is as good as any united way, any other reputable charity or social welfare group. the second thing is where cathy is and community agencies are, they are governed by a local board of directors, and 1/3 recipients of the service, poor people themselves, 1/3 local elected officials, 1/3 representative of community leaders. the program is administered and determined by the community. by law, the local board does any assessment every year -- does 8 need assessment every year, what are the problems for the county, how do we evaluate those? those are all driven at the local level. is the kind of program that people care about. big government to go down to the states and at be administered by the people there -- that is what community action has been doing for years. that is what sargent shriver wanted us to do. host: if there is an agreement to cut it back and come up with a competitive grant formula, how does that work? guest: it sounds nice on paper. we all believe in competition. but let me suggest this -- over time they have developed relationships with local busines

states during this time because in a fundamental way the united states was the only victor of world war ii. the united states was the only country that came out with a stronger economy than it went in. america's principle industrial competitors were either gravely weakened like britain or absolutely demolished like germany and japan. and so it was easy for the united states to embrace free trade, yeah, level the playing field because we've already leveled the industrial capacity of all of our competitors. [laughter] and so for 20 years until the german and japanese economies in particular got back on their feet, free trade worked to america's benefit. and big companies like general motors could agree to big deals with the united autoworkers knowing that there was no competition. if you're buying a car in the united states in 1955, it was going to be a detroit-built car. and so there was this period, it was a golden age of the american political economy. and it was a time when somebody could graduate from high school in pittsburgh and go to work in

states gives the united states in some ways an unbalanced edge when it comes to these questions because other countries may have the different values concerns but if they try to bring that up with american companies like google or facebook or you tube then ultimately the united states can disagree with the american companies can say wait no we do have these first amendment values that we care about we do call it censorship to remove different links from google you know that gets in. the objectivity of the internet so that really is a concern in that sense if these companies won the united states i think that our culture would still give us that so i think we wouldn't be that different but the international questions of you know who who wins in the end who has the period with already dictate on the i think that would be very different. it's so interesting to to watch it all unfold you know in just seven short here is how much really has changed how much the notion of privacy has trained whether it even exists at all anymore and i'm sure that a year fro

best successful transitions in these countries where changes already under way, the alternatives are quite dire. i think the united states will have to learn new ways of working with democratic governments in these countries and it will need to grow a thicker skin as these governments are going to be more responsive to their public opinion when it comes to the kind of foreign policies they will have and the relations they will have with the united states and so forth. the model that the united states has pursued which i have always thought of as a 19th century model of personalized diplomacy with an individual leader or a small group is not sustainable. it is a anachronistic. it will go out of fashion in the arab world. i am not saying any of this will be easy. i believe it can be done. i think the united states can have good relations with democratic countries in the middle east. they will have their ups and downs and those governments will make decisions we don't like or he liked people we don't feel comfortable with, i think these can ultimately be more mature and sustainable relationships. >> thank you very mu

the way that we -- the best that i can come up with is to say that the three leading monetary countries, they euro, japan, united states all pledged to achieve the same rate of inflation. they make a strong commitment to do that. third countries can pay to that rate. one of those rates, a basket of the straits. that way they can have price stability and have fixed exchange rates. the three countries can have floating exchange rates said the real exchange rates can adjust and not cause the unemployment that people wish to observe. they would also get the benefit of those countries. but the whole system would, in my reckoning the voluntary. three countries would voluntarily through coordination, no meetings, no discussions, just pledged to keep the 2% or 0 -- i prefer zero, but don't think that is going to happen. zero to 2% inflation rate. that would remove the great part if we did it and persisted in it, a great part of the problem and would leave room for countries to make adjustments within that band when they had unemployment and so on so as to satisfy the domestic urges at the same time providing a much more

way that it was maintained. and that is definitely the situation in the streets look at what we have inside the united states we have young african black and brown subjects community colonial subject being sat down in the street in an obsessive kind of way fifty shots sixty shots laying on our stomach in our back as we run or as we walk or flee in retreat from the scene this is an abuse of power which is a powder keg upon which we sit in on and we've discussed our already the jobless rate we've discussed already the idea that there's a crisis even in the ideology of america and who would be the next to lead so there isn't a competition about that happening as well and people are charged people are charged and awaiting to jump into action i want to talk to you about you mentioned a little bit of the issue of police brutality how big is this cops or your police terror is an instrument of the state. you to coerce young people is the fear mechanism but the police state is the control of the resources control of health care the stifling of education the. current situation of of the economy. the government the legisla

now there these are regimes that have traditionally been supported by the united states in the same way that mubarak was supported by the united states they must be very worried i mean it seems as if the u.s. has abandoned mubarak do you think that they could be concerned that america's about to abandon them i think as a lot of started the yemeni government is destructive to declare a lot of changes and also in jordan there's tossed a lot of the changes i think what is going on in egypt affect most of the middle east and not only the middle east and all the area because it really is as we watch now all the t.v.'s around we see that all the international community is following this is following what's going on because it affects the economy the financial and even the stability and security but can these regimes trust the united states because they certainly have shown mubarak that he can trust it any way any regime has to. to follow the rules from the inside don't expect somebody from the outside can help you no way that anyone from the outside can help but what it can help any people is
