I predict that about 20 of people will take advantage of that. If that is true, then that would automatically stabilize the system which now gives us time to begin to gradually increase the age of retirement. Remembering, when we put that system into place, the average age of death with 63. Now, we are looking at 80. We have not made any adjustments. It is unfair to make adjustments, i believe, to people who are 55 years or older because they dont have enough time to do it needs to be done. Or people who are younger than that, i think there is time. It is a gradual adjustment. Many of the people i have talked to have said we dont have to do anything radical like they did in italy. The move to their age up tremendously and cut the benefits by 40 in order to get back in line. The longer we wait, the more drastic the need will be to do it. We do it very gradually over the course of about 25 or 30 years and we can sustain the system. Not only that, but remember, once we have intelligent pe

Its only in recent years that a lot of scholarship has focused on the fact that their the fact of how rocky their marriage was, specifically in its early days. I think in the early years, james found her a bit distant and cold. As the years went by, she had a tremendous influence on him. James and lucretia spent a lot of time with their children. They felt that education was an emancipating factor. Mrs. Garfield adored her time at the exhibition, but she was specifically interested in the latest sciences and technologies of the day. After James Garfields death, a number of prominent citizens raised about 350,000 that was turned over to Lucretia Garfield. In todays dollars, it would equate to somewhere around 8 million. Her character was extremely exceedingly strong. She had a rectitude that was invulnerable. Host Lucretia Garfield was born in ohio in 1832. Her life spans antebellum america to the progressive era of the early 20th century. A supporter of womens rights and deeply interes

This is about whether or not americas a country that believes in the value of redemption and whether each one of us should be judged for the rest of our lives for the worst act weve done on our worst day of our life. And if we dont believe that rule should apply to us, then it ought not apply in our criminal justice context. Thats why i think the opportunities are enormous and i look forward to working with anyone else with whom i might disagree on other fronts. Well just park those issues, peter, arthur, and others, and well Work Together where we can and get some things done. But thank you very much. [applause] jeffrey this has been a superb constitutional conversation. My expectations were high and you have surpassed them.
