winston churchill famously referred to lend lease aid as quote, unquote the most unsorted acts. the u.s. was in fact only willing to provide this aid after really milking britain tried. we forced them to solve a their major subsidiaries of british companies in the united states. there's even evidence that fdr's administration was willing to take it to the empire. but here's a nice quote from henry morgenthau speaking to the u.s. treasury representative in 1940s. he said there's one thing i know i can say that we don't want any of those islands. i know he doesn't want jamaica. i know he doesn't want trinidad and i know he doesn't want reddish sky in that. last night in fact, the u.s. was more spontaneously generous during the second world war to china and the soviet union than it was to britain. it seems rather remarkable today. the mindset during the war was really focused on britain as our main rival. this is all overthrown three years later with the marshall plan in 1947, but that's another story to be told that my next book. one of the reasons for the collapse of british impe

despite some of the dramatic claims that this is, quote-unquote, gutting c-e-q-a, we of course had no power to amend c-e-q-a locally. this legislate ace is totally separate from the proposal circulating in sacramento to potentially amend c-e-q-a in one way or another. ~ legislation this legislation merely sets our procedures for how we allow appeal. and i want to note that there are organizations that are very active opposing the proposed changes in sacramento to c-e-q-a itself. those organizations are not opposing this legislation. in fact, we just heard today that the state building and constructions trade councilmember which has been one of the leaders fighting the changes to c-e-q-a in sacramento has officially stated that they have no issue with what we are doing here in sacramento. ~ council today i'm sure you'll hear some of the same arguments we heard last time. there will be criticisms of the process around this legislation. and as i noted, we have gone through exhaustive public process. before your last hearing we had already had a number of meetings and made amendments and

we've been creeping towards it, various forms of nonlethal aid-- quote, unquote. this is going to happen. secondly, the israelis, yes, they're corporated about weapons going into syria. they're more concerned, quite honestly bweapons coming out of syria, and they're worried about weapons going into lebanon, reaching he hezbollah, reaching hamas. the israelis don't have any great options in there. when the crise began, many where willies seemed to favor the status quo, the rescream, and afterwards there seemed to be some term. at the moment they're probably worried not about the exodus of weapons but the instability the syrian crisis is causing for jordan, one of the two arab countries that has a peace treaty with israel and the rells are increasingly worried the throne on which king abdullah sits is getting increasingly shaky. what the israelis want is for this to end sooner rather than later, and if that would mean the president sitting on his hands, they would favor that. if that meant sending in more arms, they would favor that. they want to go back, if you wil

to that end i fight that the release of information about a quote/unquote criminal background is basically attempt to criminalize the child who has been killed. we've seen that happen with trayvon martin. this idea that because he had possibly been caught with marijuana justifies the murder of the boy. i think that it is really problematic that we still live in a society that always and everywhere does not give the benefit of the doubt to young black males. and they're always seen as suspects before they're seen as victims. that's why i wrote the piece. >> and there are a lot of folks who said this should at least give more pause to the city's stop and frisk policy. folks who are not familiar with the stop and frisk policy, what is it? >> it is a carte blank policy to stop and frisk anyone they choose. but under the program which has been justified by liberal mayor michael bloomberg, they've been specifically focused on young black and latino males to the extent that all 87% stop and frisk are of young black and latino males. despite their claims that they are looking for guns, they have f

now, you know, i'm sure there were other factors, but look, it's hitting that broad swath of quote, unquote, middle america that obama champions and rightly so, right where it hurts. so, any kind of tax hike at this point is going to, going to be devastating. look, you know, julian likes to say no less than christina roamer who headed up obama's council of economic advisors, stood the impact of tax hikes and she said that for every dollar extra the government takes in in tax hikes, gdp declines by $3. look, it gets back to the basic point we've made on the show many times. is there anyone out there that thinks that the government can spend our money more efficiently or effectively than we can? i think the answer is no. so, can we cut? absolutely. should we cut is the bigger question, and we should, asap. >> brenda: okay, jonas, the deficit, huge. we can cut spending if we have tax hikes though, does that help or hurt the economy? >> anytime you raise taxes you're dragging the economy. luckily, this year, the relatively small taxes that most people saw could be handled by this level of econo

unquote.indeed, the president used this very same tactic in the state of the union. he stated his support for -- quote -- "comprehensive tax reform" but he talked almost exclusively about using the process to raise more revenue. some of my colleagues have made similar arguments here in the senate. well, mr. president, that is not tax reform at all. tax reform as it has been traditionally proposed and understood is a process of eliminating certain preferences in order to broaden the tax base and lower the rates. this is how you simplify the tax code. this is how you make it more efficient and fair. and most importantly, it is how you make the tax code more conducive to economic growth. if you are eliminated select deductions and preferences only to pocket the revenue for future spending, you're not reforming the tax code. you're simply raising taxes. so if the budget committee is about to reward a budget that includes instructions for tax reform, i can't help but assume that the process will be
