Worked very hard to manage those alignments so it doesnt create too great a tension. As time goes on, ive seen greater congruence in our views, not less. If i could follow one piece, you did mention that youre just back from ankara, the role and the relationship with turkey has been complicated, its been vital, its been seen as quite tense at times. It seems youre quite optimistic right now. So, one of my questions there, you see, for example, the kurdish being an effective force fighting within syria, but again, this is sort of just to get to one area where there are differences potentially differences between Coalition Members on how to approach a particular ontheground partner. How do you see that kind of dynamic playing out . Well, its its actually been naturally pretty remarkable what the kurdish elements in syria have done to eliminate daesh from a large segment of the border. There is still a border which is in the hands of daesh and thats problematic, and its an issue for the w
Their own studies show the main drivers of default are loan devalue, borrower credit score. Everything else is literally a rounding error. And so of course, the final doddfrank rules essentially abandon the things that actually drive default. And endless servicing requirements, again making it near impossible to foreclose. My opinion is the rule increased foreclosures last time around rather than decrease them. And the harder it is and the mission has nothing to do with financial stability. The mission is to use the the regulatory system to force prudent borrows to subsidize imprudent. We all knew the crisis was quite costly. It also will provide a cover for massive expansion and government powers. One minute. Im not even go i think to need that. So i would say and would say avoid financial cryises. I think a repeal is not enough. The presystem was broken. It was flawed. And to me one of the real flaws of doddfrank is it extends the precrisis system. The theme of doddfrank is, lets exp

Minerals for firms not only firms getting the actual hard commodities there, but also for firms well down the supply chain, who have no idea where the aluminum in the electronic parts came from. So i think its telling when a liberal law ultimately convinces the Washington Post Editorial Board that it was a bad idea, which they have come out against conflict minerals. Its time to revisit the motion all together of including immaterial disclosures in security laws. Both by legislative fiat and by the sccs own power. And republican and democratic chairmen have both been guilty of this. I think it should be a binding constraint on any rule making. And business round table stands for the proposition. How is a mandatory immaterial disclosure going to provide benefit to investors . None. By definition fails cost benefit analysis. We have ways to measure immateriality. Methodology that has gotten great in the last ten years. I think it should be a binding constraint, the same way for litigants
Wrong when one family, the owners of walmart own as much wealth as the bottom 40 of the american people. There is something profoundly wrong when millions of workers are working longer hours for lower wages when we have by far the highest rate of childhood poverty in the industrialized world and almost all new wealth and income goes into the hands of the few. Enough is enough. That has got to end. And together, we will end it. This campaign is sending a profound message to the billionaire class. You cant have it all. You cant get huge tax breaks when children in america go hungry. You cannot continue to send our jobs to china when millions of americans are looking for work. You cannot hide your profits in the Cayman Islands and in other tax havens. When there are massive, unmet needs in this country. The greed of the billionaire class has got to end, and we are going to end it for them. But it is not just income and wealth inequality. It is the fact that we have millions of people work
