politicians rely on them to get re-elected so they have unsustainable deals. >> yeah, unfortunately, politicians are mathematically ignorant. calpers that manages the california state pension fund. it's assuming a 7.5% annual return. from now until armageddon. well, nobody is getting 7.5 today without putting their money at risk. 5% is a much more realistic assumption today. so mentions should be cut by a third right off the bat to reflect real market returns. >> david: emac, if you did that, you would have the public sector strikes strikes te supposed to be illegal in many places. they're not. they call in the sick-in days and so forth. that's what we'll be stuck with. stuck with chaos coming up soon. >> you're right. the politicians like mayor bloomberg who is focused on the big gulp sodas andalt in foods. i said it before, li you know the house is on fire and they're still smoking in bed. here is what is going on. >> david: good analogy. >> we see already reform happening. you can chge the structure of a pension. government pension for future hires. in to a 401(k). they do need it

system-- widespread incarceration at the federal, state, and local levels is both ineffective and unsustainable. it imposes a significant economic burden-- totaling $80 billion in 2010 alone-- and it comes with human and moral costs that are impossible to calculate. as a nation, we are coldly efficient in our incarceration efforts. with an outsized, unnecessarily large prison population, we need to ensure that incarceration is used to punish, deter, and rehabilitate, not merely to warehouse and forget. >> woodruff: one step toward a solution, according to holder: scale back mandatory minimum sentences for low-level, non- violent drug offenses. there are almost 220,000 prisoners in federal penitentiaries, now: 40% over capacity. nearly half those inmates are serving time for drug-related crimes. holder plans to tell federal prosecutors to change the way they handle those cases. >> they now will be charged with offenses for which the accompanying sentences are better suited to their individual conduct, rather than excessive prison terms more appropriate for violent criminals or drug kingpins. >>

at what the regulators have done with qm, what is calm -- contemplated by qrm, i think that is unsustainable. i do not know how you could ultimately sustain a housing finance market if you cut the number of mortgages in half and doubled the price on the others. that clearly could be the outcome, perhaps the worst case scenario. i think there are a number of democrats in the house financial services committee although they are committed to the fundamentals of dodd frank, are certainly looking for room for improvement. i have been in congress for a few years. if you're not an optimist it is not the job for you. i prefer to remain optimistic about these matters. >> chairman, thank you for your generosity of time and i hope you enjoy the rest of the time in your home district which you prefer to washington but we look forward to having you back there for the important work ahead. thank you.

rehabilitate not to warehouse and forget and says what we've got going on right now is inefficient and unsustainable. so to deal with this he is now directing his 94 u.s. attorneys throughout the country to stop charging people with low level drug crimes that result in mandatory minimum sentences and ends up clogging our prisons as long as the offense is nonviolent and not tied to a drug cartel. instead the government will charge them with a less serious crime that would result in less harsh sentences,bó9ç sentences that would put people into let's say, a drug treatment program or have them do community service. he believes these nonviolent, low level drug offenses should be treated in dealing with their behavior. >> by targeting the most serious, prosecuting the most dangerous criminals, directing assistance to crime hot spots and promoting new ways for safety deterrence efficiency and fairness we in the federal government can become both smarter and tougher on crime. by providing leadership to all levels of laempts and bringing intelligence driven strategies to beer, we can bolster the efforts to

it's not just structurally unsustainable. it's structurally unsustainable in the immediate term. the reason why a lot of people came out to protest is people hadn't made any money for two years. people are completely miserable. their country has totally talled economically. if someone is not able to improve or give people any sort of hope, then they will suffer similar fates unless the security service and the army shut down protests like they would have done under mubarak. when i think about egypt's economic future, i sort of cry. >> they really did not study mainstream economics. they have to study beyond their field just to get a sense of what's going on in the muslim world. the country went through many ways that were contradictory and led to these problems. but there are a lot of what people refer to, the big fat word "corruption." institutions that have never been made transparent or have a mechanism to go around. i keep hearing all of these pessimistic things. one of my friends was appointed, he is going to be in charge of everything other than the banks. he says it is a b

fundamentally, it is unsustainable. purpose is what them. that is why they exist. they are not just other food retailer trying to make money. there is a passion behind there. secondly, they look at all the stakeholders is interconnected and interdependent. they have on our website dropped a better place called the declaration of interdependence. it says we are all interdependent and interconnected. even activists and others are all good and therefore when we make decisions at the company, we must consider the consequences for all of them not simply look at the value to include margins of profit. you need to think about what are the consequences and try to come up with win win win win for our stakeholders. that takes a lot of creativity. it's very easy to find trade-offs. most managerial decision-making. if you reject the idea of trade-off, then you actually come up with it. they also have an egalitarian culture inside. they cannot exceed 19 times the average pay. countries in the u.s. vary between 350 and 500 to mock one. he used to be 30, 40, 50. it has risen dram
