Russians given a rare chance to question their president and another sign chinas economic might is slipping we start this new hour in yemen, where the countrys Vice President just called for an armed force to support the legitimate government in exile. Lets listen to a little more of what he had to say. Translation the International Community and the region have to intervene urgently to pave the way for the citizens to live in a suitable manner and put an end to the crisis so it doesnt become a catastrophe. We need to stress that the utmost priority of the government is to deal with the urgent humanitarian situation in yemen. Thats why we decided the first step is to form a Higher Committee the Vice President voiced the humanitarian plight of his people and called for an end to fighting. We are joined from jizan in saudi arabia. We have been introduced officially to the man on whom so much rests on the future of his country. Yes, men people in yemen

How for some information is handled, collect it, and done for marketing purposes. It is at 2 30 p. M. Eastern also on cspan. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke about the Supreme Court through a conversation with a former u. S. Solicitor theodore olson. He breezily argued before the court he recently argued before the court in two cases. This is a 45 minute event. [applause] good morning. [inaudible] [laughter] [inaudible] audio. Someone will also have to control the microphone. [laughter] it is a great privilege for me to have the opportunity to ask questions of Justice Ginsberg instead of the other way around. [laughter] i want to thank all of you out there who planted questions with me in the hopes that i would ask those questions, but i probably will not ask any of those questions. [laughter] lets start with the Supreme Court of the u. S. You and your court handled the most difficult and most controversial questions of our day and of our society involving life, death, voting, propert
I first question is i have is for mr. Goldstein. Talked to this to some extent. I will come back and revisit it very briefly. In the past decade or so, you have overseen 12 independent reports of federal Facility Security. You have looked at the armed guard programs, you have collaborated with state and local Law Enforcement and the Human Capital planning. Gao has also conducted what we call them covert testing. You talked about some of that that is going on of federal facilities. In other words, you try to penetrate federal facilities to test how security works. It is like what we do in the Nuclear Power plant world. Again, for the record, how would you assess federal Facility Security today . Over 30,000 feet, how would you assess federal Facility Security today, realizing we are on a where folksum, focus on this, going back to 1995, Oklahoma City is it getting better, worse, it is uneven . I think it is very uneven, mr. Chairman. Yes, there have been improvements since Oklahoma City
Incentives in place to encourage retirement saving. I tend to think that they are pretty weak in the terms of tax deferrals on tax deductions, in theory you could wind up paying more taxes either virtue of savings. Making that more robust might make sense. A gooding credit is idea, but i also think that more incentives to encourage motivation makes sense. I think there is probably never an area where economists are more divided from up the public than annuities. You should essentially make annuities from all your wealth, almost no individual in the general public will do this willingly. Very few people want to annuitize their 401 k s. If you give them the option of a lump sum, they will take it and walk away. It is just the human nature kind of thing. An annuity turn to from a millionaire and to someone getting 50,000 per year and no one likes it. But something along those lines to encourage default could make sense. Once people have them, they will be happy with them, but the initial
