I think it is safe to say that bill bennett says conservativism will never be a Popular Movement as long as it is perceived to be against the interests of minorities. In many ways, we have earned that perception. As bill also said that when liberals see blacks, they see a sea of it comes and conservatives see a sea of aliens. It is important to acknowledge that in the 1960s when conservatives talk about limited, small government, hostility to Central Government it was not for Central Government intervention in the states, we would not be sitting here. Just knowledge in the past doesnt mean we arent stuck there and it changes as our circumstances change. Back in the 1960s, it was important for Central Government intervene, but today Central Government interferes with ability. You cannot generalize about black community anymore any other.

Nations. The solution we have been things into, like all you have mentioned, designing an economy used to be thought of as a bad thing. Making industrial policy and all that. Ive been trying very hard in my travels in emerging nations to use singapore, thailand, a few other countries that have andnced their economies generations get. You will not have to go through the learning curve that the u. S. And industrialized nations of a hundred years ago. You can avoid the pollution and create supply chains. Instead of being a raw material exporter, which is where you start first, American Companies are the type that we, especially , we bring value chains, training, and technology through local partnerships. We preferred the local partial model. I am australia, i had a vision of doing it in asia. We have 86 joint ventures around the world. This whole notion of going local and then creating clusters around advanced manufacturing needs to be brought to a nationstate. If it never creates regiona
They migrated to the Republican Party. The gop does not talk enough about this either. To your point about social issues or Economic Issues and the Democratic Party does not talk about those issues anymore. Lets talk about life. I am prolife but if you want to talk about economics, you will find there are a lot of people in the Africanamerican Community who understand their community has been devastated by abortion. If you want to talk about the worry and some states about demographics working against us because we have an aging population and you think about the number of lives that have been ended in this country through abortion, that is an economic issue. We are not going to all agree on all aspects of abortion in this country. Even on that issue that people tend to shy away from, there is common ground. On this issue, it is the Democratic Party that has become extreme. I get asked all the time, how can you support the Republican Party platform on abortion . I say how can you suppo
Care is in very good shape. There has been some discussion as to the pronunciation of your last name, i dont know if i pronounce it correctly . You did just great. Does it right with science .

T the same time, Health Care Costs are going down. Health care costs have been increasing for the last 50 years, so now you step back and you say simply, what was the president trying to accomplish with the Affordable Care act, it was to do two things increase coverage and lower costs. E has done both. Lets talk about congress and stuff that is on the president s agenda. Specifically, tax reform and trade deals. You have republicans running the show on both sides of the aisle, do you think there is a real prospect for Corporate Tax reform that would lower the top rate while closing loopholes . Do think there would be a package that would be
And then, when all the teeth and claws are torn out, the bear will be of no use at all. Perhaps theyll stuff it and thats all. Protecting our independence, our sovereignty and our right to exist. If we believe that one of the current problems including in the economy as a result of the sanctions is crucial, and it is so because out of all the problems the sanctions take up about 25 to 30 . But we must decide whether we want to keep going and fight, change our economy for the go through all this or we want our skin to hang on the wall. This is the choice we need to make and it has nothing to do with crimea. The russia channel is responsible for our broadcasting. Good afternoon. The crimea issue is more or less clear. The only question perhaps is how much we will have to eventually invest in its development after the difficult ukrainian past. The most urgent question for me is about eastern ukraine, which is now calling itself novorossiya. That is what they call themselves. How do you se
