are used properly and not at strip clubs. martha: that seems like a pretty good idea, doesn t it. hropbl logic should kick in. what are they saying about it. reporter: three senators voted against the bill. there are critics that say it s not a massive priority. they say telling people on public assistance how they can spend their money actually restreubts thei restricts their freedoms. it s not a problem where government has to come in and tell what people can buy and use an atm. it s redirected resources and plays into a stereotype. reporter: she says the priority should be getting the unemployed back to work not worried how they spend relatively small amounts on their ebt cards. martha: there is the debate then. eric shawn in the newsroom. gregg: a terrifying case of deja vu after a fog machine mishap suddenly inspires fears of a colorado-style massacre. a pre party for the teen choice
reserve bank in san francisco. basically he thinks further action needs to be taken to increase the progress and to boost the jobs market. is talking about basically printing more money in, more stimulus, right, from the fed? we ve been doing this for four years now. the federal receive printed about 2/3 of all the money the government borrowed last year. we re monetizing our debt. this is extremely irresponsible in my view and very dangerous. the fundamental problems afflecking our economy are not monetary in nature. it is massive overregulation. it is spending that is completely out of control and driving huge deficits. it is the threat of massive tax increases. an administration seems almost hostile to the private sector and certainly denigrates entrepeneurship. this is an environment where we shouldn t be surprised we re not creating jobs. we have to change this so we can create the kind of jobs and economic growth that will lift people out of poverty as we ve done in the past.
that strikes me with a number of people i talked to recently about this we re seeing it creeping into areas we didn t see before. people who used to volunteer are looking for that kind of help themselves. it is in the suburbs. it is in places we didn t see it before. even here in the cities, more people out begging for money in i noticed in recent weeks and months. crime rate seems to be up in some of our inner cities, you get all of these other impacts. this is what happens when people don t have work. even though the unemployment rate seems to have leveled off somewhere at a totally unacceptable level, somewhere around 8.2%, understates how bad this is by a lot. the reason it is dropped, people are giving up. they re not looking for work. the percentage of americans actively participating in the workforce is now at a 27-year low. this is why we ve got to change what the current policies are not working and we ve to the to change our course. martha: i m curious when you think abou
victims. child sex-abuse in our count tries not over unfortunately. they did that by raising the money. the culture of penn state was based upon football and football is king. if you have less scholarships you can t go to the post-season and maybe more to come with the big 10 press conference relative to tv, what exactly is penn state football? if you diminish that and you take that heroism, oh, joe paterno is a god, that s exactly what they had to do boy taking that out of there, help the victims and the culture. martha: let s try to pull this up on the screen. i will do everything in my power to not only comply but help guide the university forward to become a national leader in ethics, compliance and operational excellence. i knew when i accepted this position that there would be tough times again. this is a former patriot s coach who came down to take over this program. one of the things that goes through my mind when you look at
money can transfer to any other university that wants them with no penalty or they can stay at penn state, choose not to play football and continue to receive their money. a number of stunning statements that came from mark emmert, the president of the ncaa one which really stood out in my mind. he said never again will football come before the rights of human beings. he talked about how in many cases the athletic program has superseded so many other important parts of an education at the university level. in this case so egregious at penn state. we ll have more on this coming up a little later in the hour. stick around for that. gregg: israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu now blaming iran s rogue regime for the homicide bus bombing attack in bulgaria that killed five israelis. mr. netanyahu claiming that iran is hiding behind the hezbollah terror organization that he believes is responsible for the latest tragedy, adding that iran s nuclear program must be crushed.
