Sex offenders on skid row alone you know how women and children sleeping on air mattresses in their chapel only a bandaid for now the bales hopes the country will wake up and fix this epidemic in los angeles in time just weeks arent. The deal the tax bill has garnered critics on both sides of the aisle for a handful of reasons like its effect on health care or the Corporate Tax rate but theres also concern over what this means for education here to talk more about that is chris gannon Vice President of the United StatesStudent Association chris how exactly does the g. O. P. Tax bill impact students especially for those from low income Families First of all thanks for having me here today im happy to talk about this u. S. Student association we represent millions of students across the United States and this week with this tax weve had quite a few calls from students concerned about what was going to happen and essentially this tax bill is a tax cut for the top one percent of americans and a tax cut for corporations and according to the Tax Policy Center eighty three percent of the tax cuts received in this bill are going to go to the top one percent of americans after a period of about ten years or so also sixty percent tax cut to the top one tenth of one percent of americans so obviously this is a tax mainly for the rich and not the middle class some proposals to help the middle class in this bill but the problem is that these benefits expire after a year so ill probably get a tax cut from this you might get a tax cut from this but those benefits are going to expire after eight years the benefits for the corporations and the one percent those are permanent and this bill their permanent protections for them they stay because this bill lowers the governments tax revenue were probably going to see an increase in the federal deficit and thats a problem later on down the road so maybe next year were going to see a lot of budget cuts there in effect higher education. And affect students and low income families which is really sad and we want to make sure that theyre protected so it sounds like this could have an impact you think on the budget and the results of that could maybe Impact Education yeah runs not exactly haitian yeah definitely and another thing is the health care individual Health Care Mandate was repealed with this bill which is a really big deal because in order for the Affordable Care act to work you need that mandate in there and i think its important that everybody has insurance and part of their fordable care act was making sure that that that was in there and we need to make sure that we continue to. Support students to make sure that they have insurance and if they dont costs are going to go up because of this because people wont have there wont be as many people purchasing and insurance and the costs are to go up individually for companies and more people are going to Lose Health Insurance because of this because they wont be able to afford it so i know republicans initially proposed marking waved to him as taxable income so that was eventually defeated but it sounds like that was somewhat of a victory yeah there are quite a few victories for students in this bill compared to earlier copies of the goes i know there is a graduate student tax i think graduates is really tax four hundred percent or something really ridiculous like that but luckily that was taken out after so many students protested against it. So the student debt crisis obviously a really big deal weve surpassed one trillion dollars on this point and we know that it has impacts on the economy it effects the homeownership rate it effects the marriage rate in having kids and buying cars you know and it has a lot of impacts so at this point you know what do we do about it what can the government do to step in and fix that what would be the first thing that they could do you know were at a one point five trillion dollar. Deficit as far as like Student Loans that are a concern so this is a huge deal and i think the government needs to step in best of os secretary of Education Department education just step in and do something to defend students i think we saw yesterday the there repeal. So those are were defense protections and those are super important we need to make sure that they dont do stuff like that because that harm students and it takes away their protections that are part of the new creation needs to protect students not take away. Not take away these benefits and protections and what do you think about education secretary betsy deval shes been very controversial from day one but if you could rate her from the day she got into office up until now what rating would you give her and why. I have yet to see anything that shes done personally that benefits students i know shes done a lot for Charter Schools or no shes done a lot for corporations and for profit colleges but i have yet to see anything that shes done to truly benefit students but ive seen so many things that shes done to repeal borrower defense rules and Everything Else that are supposed to protect them well one thing i see a lot of members of congress saying that i have interesting takes on student debt is that they think that there is a stigma attached to not getting at batters degree or not getting a masters degree do you think that has anything to do with our out of control student debt balance. I think its important that we encourage people that want to go to trade school for instance that are going to college to go and do that i think there is this pressure that people have to go to college and thats the only way i think that people should go and get a trades education if thats what they feel is best for them im not talented in the trades theyre saying thats why i want to i really. Think for us so i think its important that we encourage them to go to trade schools to the college i think thats going to help with the overall cost and reduce it for everybody else very informative stuff chris cannon Vice President of the United StatesStudent Association thank you so much for your time thanks for having me. Time now for a quick break but stick around because when we were turn well continue the discussion on breakfast with our teams alex and hell of it will tell us what a candidate styled trade deal for the u. K. Would mean for its economy as we go to break here the numbers of the closing bell i. About a hundred for them i did but thats not a good idea. On the. Dismissal but you know me a lot of money to be still flock. To. Go out and buy the n. B. A. Doesnt have it doesnt know some of the amounts i need to let go but not enough people get it some. Time and most will go down. As become a hot item. Then the police need. Some help the most of the most so while im a guy thats. Coming on i love to learn how to live the fun of the one that hit. Everybody im stephen ball. Hollywood guy will suspect. Proud american first of all im just george bush and honored to do some steam. My buddy max famous financial guru well just a little bit different im not. Going to run your windows up with all the drama happening in our country im shooting the road have fun every day americans. And the stork to bridge the gap this is the Great American people which. You know the palestinians have used the United Nations as a weapon of war against the future of peace both for palestinians and israelis the United NationsGeneral Assembly has passed more resolutions against the Democratic State of israel that it has against north korea and iran and syria combined so that you know it is a bubbling cauldron of hatred and anti democracy. How does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world its as close to being a king as any job there is one Business Model helps to run a prison now we just do or dont like is there nobody you know visitation i dont no one comes anymore we dont have to serve them anymore is Cost Effective thats what they want to do that as long as they dont give a damn if you do the chores or not theyre actually paying us to put them back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u. S. N. Preach what she could is behind such success. The e. U. Is urging the United Kingdom to make up its mind when it comes to bracks and if that doesnt. Happen sooner rather than later the bloc intends to present a canada style trade deal to the indecisive brits archies alex mahila veges in toronto with more for us alex it looks like the e. U. Is becoming increasingly frustrated with the u. K. s behavior when it comes to brics it what can we expect from brussels if the u. K. Continues in its way is. Russels berlin paris everybody seems to be concerned about negotiations with theresa maids all muddled nobody really knows what the u. K. Wants so europe is saying well if you can make up your minds well make up our minds for you and your money because you wont have any choice other than what were telling you to do and this is by the summer theyre saying that they might push through a deal that looks much more like something that canada has which is a free trade deal plain and simple what the u. K. Was hoping for of theresa may especially with something bespoke they were asking for something that was would be tailor made a just for them and what europe is saying the block is basically knocking her and her parliament down a notch here is a quote we have won from it would be the european commissions chief negotiator my Michel Barnier he says logically for the economic side of our partnership well be working on the basis of a Free Trade Agreement along the same lines of what we negotiated and signed with canada south korea and japan well thats most likely not bespoke enough for the u. K. So were going to see a lot of back and forth this whole break that they get i mean its turning out to look its a very expensive first of all venture and second of all its turning out to look like something that theyre moving the u. K. Want something that looks a lot like being within the European Union and now banking is a huge factor there because we know wanted is a world Banking Center and when they leave the European Union there are new agreements between europe and other countries when it comes to the Financial Sector the Financial Service sector so this is going to be a big hit to the u. K. It really doesnt look good on either and at this point its pretty massive so far and a new has relationships that are tighter than just free trade with a number of countries i mean why do you think the u. K. Is not being considered for a status beyond and above what canada has well lets talk about those relationships and then youll see heres a quick math for you guys to see which countries are where they are this is the European Free trade association its four countries liechtenstein. Switzerland norway and iceland theyre all included in there but the u. K. Wants something a little bit different than what these countries want so theyre not going to get special treatment so when it comes to lets say iceland norway theresa may has a very different idea of what they do about a relationship with europe she refuses the jurisdiction of the European Court of justice a Free Movement regulatory alignment as well as making financial contribution to the e. U. Budget so if youre not contributing to the e. U. Well you can have a special relationship with the when it comes to switzerland its also another issue you reject as i mentioned the Free Movement regulatory alignment and financial payment so that you know is really the big picture there if youre not going to act like a country of the European Union or somebody thats actually trying to be really close to the European Union well youre not going be able to have a special relationship and get this this even goes further the u. K. Can even have a relationship like ukraine does who is the European Union because ukraine at least relies on or require some regulatory alignment recognition of the e c j which ukraine does turkey even turkey has a tighter relationship because they are they have do u. K. Has shown a desire to do their own trade agreements and that its something that turkeys agreed with the European Union to move a little bit closer that they work with the European Union union when it comes to trade agreements when it comes to the u. K. They want to be super and about it but they want all the benefits it seems of being in the European Union now the European Union has set a deadline december thirty first two thousand and twenty that should be the end of transition and theyre pushing this because they know they have the u. K. In a very vulnerable position right now and as obvious as ive said before this brags that if it happens all be surprised if it does happen its going to look a heck of a lot more like being in the e. U. Than what was talked about in the very beginning by the u. K. Now theyve been a sell out of deadlines already and thats looking like the more likely scenario here are to correspondent alex the halifax thanks so much thank you. The power outage at Hartsfield Jackson airport in atlanta on sunday was older than more than just travel related stress because of all the canceled flights and compo tell rooms airlines like delta lost an estimated twenty five to fifty Million Dollars and now they want the Company Responsible to pay up delta c. E. O. Ed bastian told the constitution journal it was a very difficult experience and it was shocking candidly that it took so long to get the power back on i know they worked hard to deliver but to be out of power for almost twelve hours is unbelievable he was referring to Georgia Power which has served the countrys Busiest Airport for over one hundred years and bastin later added he advent would like to meet with the mayor elect she is sworn in next month to discuss compensation. Not too long ago the u. S. Mens soccer team was eliminated from competing in the twenty first fifa world cup leaving fans feeling anguished one sports Economist Says that loss could also have some financial implications and more about that were joined now by Victor Matheson professor of economics at holy cross victor you were on the blog of the sports economist at the u. S. Not being in the world cup could mean money problems for russia which is the events host next year how so. Well so the United States isnt always known as a big soccer power however when it comes to the world cup u. S. Soccer fans like to travel almost like no other country in the world in both south africa and brazil we had as many people come in from the United States to visit those countries as a centrally any other country in the world so you sort of mentioned this but the u. S. Is not exactly a quote soccer mad nation anaemic but american fans have traditionally made up a big portion of the fans that attend the world cup so why do you think that is so its at least in part due to the fact that were just such a big country right over three hundred Million People in the country as a whole were going to get a lot more tourists go into the world cup than maybe in iceland this year smallest country in the world cup with only three hundred thousand residents in the entire country so thats certainly one piece there and maybe another piece is the fact that our own domestic leagues Major League Soccer here in the u. S. Maybe arent the sort of things that inspire the u. S. Fans is as much as in other countries so for example in germany the fans might go and travel around the world to see byron munich and maybe not as much to see the German National team here in the United States if youre going to travel around the world to watch you know one of your teams its got to be the National Team because youre not seeing d. C. United or the l. A. Galaxy on the world stage as a club. So do you think fans from other countries and particularly the ones that are quote soccer mad make up for the lost of the u. S. Tourists. Almost certainly not right if you think about the sort of teams that are going to come from this region of the world instead of the United States thats going to be a coastal reka can it be a honduras its going to be adam off much much smaller countries in the United States certainly wont do anything to make up for the maybe fifty thousand u. S. Soccer fans that might have normally been expected to go over to russia what about the businesses that try to profit from the world cup for example these said announced its amping up point of sale terminals to accept Digital Payments made their phones or even smart watches during the event are they going to be hurt financially in the same way. Well thats certainly a bit obviously also if your big advertiser who bought time already for world cup games here in the United States certainly of your ship might be down some. And again the all of russia was counting on huge numbers of course from all around the world and of course those host countries dont always have complete control over how many tourists are going to show up exactly for reasons like this of course weve got some other big soccer powers missing the netherlands italy also countries to travel fairly well with their teams and youre also missing countries like china which is again not a soccer med nation but certainly a place with lots of potential tourists that could have been flooding into russia with lots of money so it sounds Like Networks could probably be hurt by this too i know fox sports paid four hundred Million Dollars to obtain the English Speaking rights in the u. S. Is that a decision theyre going to regret. I would say they certainly will regret it somewhat that being said United States is one of probably the few countries in the world where you could actually get away with your home team not being in the event and still having a lot of people show up so during the last during the last world cup in two thousand and fourteen the most watched game of the world cup here in the United States was not actually any of the games that the United States was in but was in fact the final itself which was the highest watched sporting event outside the n. F. L. In the entire United States that year the world cup is about six months away is there anything russia can do to prevent offset the projected loss in revenue your expecting we might see. So pretty unlikely again theres just some things that are always out of your control and how and what teams show up and how well they do is is one thats completely up to serendipity for example in brazil brazil got very very lucky they have the same sort of stadium problems that many hope. Huge cost overruns there but when it came to the actual term in itself they got the best possible outcome big got neighboring argentina made it all the way to the final and because of that as many as two hundred fifty thousand extra tourists showed up in brazil beyond what people would normally have expected because it was an easy last minute trip for people from neighboring argentina to make so if youre russia what youre hoping for is well you were hoping for the United States and some of these other big countries to make it in the first place but were also hoping for is maybe a deep run into the tournament by some some countries that could easily get there last minute so maybe hope for germany to make it all the way to the final i want to switch gears now and ask you about the n. F. L. After nearly a year protests the league and a Players Coalition reach an agreement for the organization and its owners to provide one hundred Million Dollars in funding for social activism projects deemed important by the players what are your thoughts on how that arrangement could work out. Well so obviously this has been something hugely been in the n. F. L. And of course the rest of the country. Teams owners players dont want to be seen coming out on one side or the other of the political divide pretty easy way to alienate half of your fans in a partisan nation like weve got today we definitely have seen this two years in a row of viewership being down in the n. F. L. Doesnt make any difference for this years t. V. Contract since thats already inked on that deal but it certainly could make a lot of differences new deals come forward in the future. Question is what can you do to try to tamp all this down at least one compromises is trying to get the players to be standing during the anthem and to acknowledge some of their problems by by donating to their choice of charities some people obviously have been critical of this is in that are huge. Just redistributing n. F. L. Charitable funds from one charity to another its hardly a win for the players if you get money going into social justice organizations but being taken out of places like the cure for cancer Victor Matheson professor of economics at holy cross thanks so much for your time. Will be taught for now but be sure to catch the last on you tube you tube classical best arche thanks for watching ill see you next. Ok. Thank. You.
