Ever was employed at the fcc. We have a working group where we have to actually get to the conclusions about the administrative process reforms. We have got to do that so he can start writing is ordered in may so the order can come out out in june that establishes the new administrative processes and that also talks about how the fcc is going to be spending its money in the next cycle. In terms of general big picture for many many years the entire community that has benefited from the erate has understandably because of the constant culture wars has said just hold on to what we have got. That is what we have had to do just because of the constant pressure but that is not what the fcc is telling us. This fcc is saying instead of looking at it as a x dollars every single year why did you, and tell us we will bunch a whole bunch of money right up front. It will be a Capital Expenditure the way john has been talking about it. More money up front once and for all put fiber to all these ill
Measure is a job. And many of us believe that if someone works hard all day, all year around, that he or she should be able to earn enough to keep their family out of poverty. Thats why the president and democrats in congress have proposed to raise the minimum wage, which has less purchasing power today than when harry truman was president. And according to the Congressional Budget Office, that measure would lift over 1 million hardworking americans out of poverty and raise low wages for another 15 million working americans. Here in the house, speaker boehners refused to even allow a vote on that measure to raise the minimum wage just as he continues to refuse a vote to extend emergency Unemployment Compensation to 3 million americans. But we all know that even if we raise the minimum wage, huge challenges remain. And we must examine the past to chart the best way forward. A january report from the council of economic advisers did just that. It found that about 50 million americans rem

More 25 more time added to get their job done, and that to me says were not staffed correctly, one, or were managed improperly. Well, i think that the staffing at the in the Academy Locations is adequate for the mission at hand. At the headquarters in my environment, the staff i manage, we have a very lightfoot fri fo. If you bring somebody in to train, they know how to train or you wouldnt have brought them in to train, and to sit here and make the point that they got to have two extra hours at the end of the day to prepare for tomorrow in terms of training when theyre not consuming the whole eight hours during the training anyway just doesnt make sense. It doesnt pass the smell test to me. Again, i dont want any cut in pay. I want this stuff restored. My question is, is the assumptions under which were doing all this dont pass muster for common sense. Your testimony is that everybody at the Border Patrol needs an extra two hours a day to get their job done, and thats whether theyre o
And challenges to the fed independence and its a topic that many of the audience members are working on. Where do you think the greatest threat to Central Bank Independence comes from . Is it from the innovative policies on the macro prudential side and the dealing of Financial Institutions or aggregate Financial Sector or innovative policies on what i call the Monetary Policy side dealing with the stimulustype role. That is a political question and im not sure i can do it justice. Let me just say a preliminary thing, i dont think the central bank should be equally independent in all of its functions. There are good reasons to have independence in Monetary Policy making subject to a mandate or subject to objectives set by the Democratic Parliament or legislature and we understand those reasons having to do with avoiding shortrun political intervention in Monetary Policy and the like. But in many of its other activities, for example, as a bank regulator, while we believe Bank Regulators
