social mobility. we use can that method. what we find is that social mobility in modern america is a little higher than in medieval england. it's .75. what is the number sweden? it's about .75. and again, we can look at inning friend from the 19th century where there's no taxes essentially, there's no public education, and so you would think, well, in 19th century inning land the way you get to oxford and cambridge you have to go to special schools and learn lattin. you need the background. now anyone can get into oxford and cambridge if they do well on the standard high school exam. and you think we would be moving from a world of slow social mobility to one of moisture more rapid mobility now. the answer again is, no. it's exactly the same. and so one of the big conclusions of the book is that social -- there's a social physics that determines social mobility. just like the force of gravity is everywhere on the planet. the force of social mobility seems to operate the same way across all the societi

the new deal was not socialism. it was the closest in this country that we have come, for sure, because it was really saying working people don't have any power. we are in an economic crisis. we need to help people who are living on the brink to survive. and that is very important. it really helped to birth a lot of important public programs that we have today. that is a social democratic idea, that government should provide some things for people who need them, because the capitalist system is fundamentally oriented -- because corporations are always having to make more money. it is really saying, the government needs to have a role. the democratic socialism .ctually goes one step further it says that we as people need to control our workplaces. we create the wealth, we should share the wealth. we should decide what we do with the wealth, and not just in workplaces but at the level of the economy. we all know that climate change is going to cause huge problems. bernie sanders is right. it is probably our biggest na

>> host: the social welfare movement, the early part of the nineteenth century, social gospel movement within christianity. president obama said he was influenced by the social gospel movement. martin luther king was probably influenced by the social gospel movement throughout his career. later on, the occupy movement was supported by very many vocal clarity from mainstream churches. please adjust examples. >> host: what is the prosperity gospel and what it is it's the fact? >> host: it is a movement among christian preachers, the idea is that if you pray to god and in good standing with god he will give you blessings. jesus said he came to give life and give it more abundantly. shouldn't that have a material aspect to it? it is not just inside you, is it? can't you expect god to do good things for you on the outside too? it does come from a fundamental christian idea that god gives his followers benefits and why not the benefit of prosperity? christian opponents of the prosperity movement often say the grab it movements because sometimes it teaches people to name but blessing and clai

i am 47 years old and i used to get social security statements from social security. i was wondering, how will this affect me probably by the age of 65 in terms of social security benefits? go asso, where could we citizens to find out this information? that is it, thank you. sir, there are a couple of things here. this will not affect your benefit -- sure, there are couple of things here. this let federal benefits in the future. wages goingand earn forward, your benefits are based essentially on your average lifetime wages. what they do is take your wages when you were younger and inflate them up to current dollars and they use a wage index for that, which is generally higher than a price index. retire and you already have your benefits set, they use the price index to adjust and each year. although wages have not been going up all that much, to be sure. this will not affect you much. there is a website you can go to .gov icialsecurity believe. you can google it. you can plan your retirement and when you should retire and when you should apply for benefits. securityia

socialism is the programs they already like. they like social security. that's socialism. we ha >> we have to make the movement, if you like, to correlate what we're talking about. because on every one of the major issues i am talking about, the american people agree. >> on what planet are we living on? wasn't socialism an insult? >> i can't follow. but when he says on every major issue, are we talking that all the people agree? >> erroneous. >> i'm a little lost for words. >> larry david, perfect. here's the point. disability insurance, unemployment insurance, social security. you know, there are a million -- medicare, medicaid, that's all socialism. we are a mix of socialism and capitalism. why bernie sanders scares us is a constant attack from the people that generate the money for socialism to be able to be paid for. >> socialism is liberation on steroids. it sounds good to people who want stuff, but the only problem is the pay for part of it. >> yeah, they're missing a daddy to pay the bills, that's the problem. can't just keep handing out all this free stuff. this is

moderator: fundraising generally, or through social media? >> through social media. how is fundraising through social media, e-mail, facebook, like bernie sanders and everybody and third parties? why don't we do a fast answer? i think a lot of those lessons i learned from 2004 with howard dean before social media, with the idea of empowering regular citizens to share couple of dollars here and there. part of that was to shut down people who commented on blogs during that campaign. say fornizers would every comment i want our community to raise tax dollars. number of dollars. and take a look at the other side of the campus. he is the one that has the highest portion of his tweets responding to people. he is working, talking to people, raising a decent amount of money with small donors to get there. the great promise of the internet was that it was going to re-democratize the process we talked today about the ways it has. with fundraising, it is another one of those stories that has two sides. it has in some regard. you look at bernie sanders right now, and the fact th

did it come from social and economic causes? i don't think so. it came from people's attempt to find a closer relationship with god in their own way. and that one worked. i mean, in the sense that it's a continuing movement, it continues its dynamism, and that was regarded as a revolutionary american religious movement. and it was. >> host: the inverse, what's been the effect on -- what effects have christianity had on society? >> guest: christianity has had every possible effect on society. comic, tragic, highly significant, insignificant. you can find -- in a country in which almost the vast majority of people have been at least nominal christians throughout the existence of the republic, you can expect various kinds of christianity to have had significant effects on almost every aspect of religious life. obviously, christianity's had many political effects on american life, continues to do so. i think people emphasize the influence of the christian right, and properly so, it has had considerable influence. the influence of the christian left c

>> anybody who's on social security now doesn't get a cola. so they're already missing out on not getting a cola. in addition, there's 30% who are going to see probably a 50% increase in their premiums and on top of that everybody, all medicare beneficiaries are going to see a 50% increase in their deductible. so everyone is going to be harmed here. some very much so by these large spikes. >> so what changes can be made to make sure there is a cost of living adjustment given every year? you say that looking at the cpi traditionally is not necessarily the way to look at it when just because there are low gas prices doesn't mean that prices for older americans, prescription drugs, deductibles and many other costs are going up. >> right. currently the cpi that's governing social security benefits is really a cpi for workers. and seniors tend to have a different market basket. we think if we use a different market basket that reflected what seniors purchase we would have a different measure that's more accurate and in this case this year we would

conservatives but they were not leaving the social issue. what they were doing is saying i'm against abortion i don't like illegal immigration but i want to cut back government and stop punishing producers. i spoke at the first tee party rally in washington, d.c. standing up there on the podium and there were things i can that redistribute by work ethic not by money you don't produce wealth by all these these kinds of things kind of things that were on limiting the government and wealth and that sort of thing. here's another one and this is a big one they can say even you conservatives don't you appreciate if you put all of your energy into opposing marriage but this is simply going to allow the other guy to continue to liberty in other areas are schools are failures across the board pretty much and that's why homeschooling is a big thing with a lot of others that's why you see the rise on things like the academies and all of these alternatives in the traditional education. if you keep focusing on things like marriage what's going to happen

with regard to social security, there are no cuts to social security. there are changes that take place, but they are minor. go further,ou say as far as dealing with the issue of social security fraud, how far would you go? guest: eliminate the fraud. if someone is honestly disabled, fine. people are abusing this program. what usually happens is -- we saw in workers compensation -- when the economy goes down, people turn to workers compensation to compensate their income, often, fraudulently. inhink one of the reforms this required that there be a medical evaluation, not just a clerk taking in information, but a medical evaluation. that is important. host: you do serve on the transportation and infrastructure committee. what do you expect to happen? guest: the house of representatives -- i think this week, maybe next week, depending on how the budget deal goes -- will take up a transportation infrastructure built. we know that at the end of this month, there will be -- actually, we have to kick the can down the road. we will kick the can down the so, an

putting more money in the social programs is not the answer. fixing the social programs, that's the answer a. >> john. >> well, at least bernie is being more honest. you can't have the european model. that doesn't really work. in europe they don't do that. they actually tax the rich, sure, a especially in france but they also have value added taxes that apply to everybody spending money. we have really cut back on taxes to the middle class and even the clinton regime on the sub $200,000 level. we can't have more benefits without raising taxes across the board. what kind of economy does that lead to? well it's like europe. you'll have a fair society for some and not to others but generally higher unemployment and slower growth. >> the economy is not doing very well. is this the worst time to take money out of everybody's paycheck? >> i think it is brenda but first did anyone get jealous when suzy said she and jack went to that auto glass installer conference. >> it was in reno, nevada and i love that place. >> apparently i'm missing all of these

according to the social security administration, social security has about $2.8 trillion in its trust fund and can pay out every benefit owed to every eligible american for the next 19 years. now, that tells us that we don't have a major crisis but frankly, 19 years is still too short a period of time and we have got to figure out how we can extend the life of social security a lot longer than that to make sure that our kids and our grandchildren know social security will be there for them. in my view, the fairest way to extend the life of social security for the next 50 years is to make sure that the wealthiest people in this country, many of whom are doing phenomenally well, are start paying the same percentage of their income into the social security system as the middle class and working families of our country currently pay. right now, as you know, somebody who is making hundreds and hundreds of millions of dallas a year, pays the same amount of money into the social security trust fund as somebody who makes $118,500 a year. in my view, that is wrong. what i would do, and we've i

to establish a social media working group to enhance the use of social media to support preparedness, recovery of all hazards. this group would be required to report to congress on an annual basis on its findings, emerging trends and best practices. i commend the gentleman from indiana for authoring this legislation. thank you and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from indiana is recognized. mr. carson: thank you, h.r. 623 was introduced by my good friend and colleague from indiana, congresswoman susan brooks. the bill, mr. speaker, was referred to the committee on transportation and infrastructure and to the committee on homeland security. this bill codifies the department of homeland security's social media working group to enhance the use of social media during disasters and other events and to provide guidance and best practices in emergency preparedness and response. social media, especially twitter, facebook and youtube, can play a critical role in preparedness, response and recovery operations during emergencies. em

this bill is supported by groups such as social security works, the strengthen social security coalition and the national committee to preserve social security and medicare. i urge my colleagues to join me in letting seniors in hawaii and all across the country know that you are on their side by cosponsoring the protecting and preserving social security act. i yield the floor. mrs. gillibrand: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new york. mrs. gillibrand: mr. president, two days ago another victim of the september 11 attacks died in new york. he's the 11th first responder to die since this anniversary -- since this year's anniversary of the attacks. his name was sergeant gerrard bayrod. he served for decades in the new york police department. his entire career was devoted to serving his community and keeping the people around him safe. and when we were attacked on september 11, 2001, sergeant bayrod didn't waiver. he banded together with thousands of first responders from around the country, from every single state, and he rushed to ground zero to help. these heroic me

he talks about revolutionary socialism as opposed to gradual socialism. he actually likes gradual socialism. only has a seven great education, but he reads like mad, he reads economics, he reads adam smith and all the important political economist and they all got it wrong. he's going to sort this thing out and come up with a diagnosis and a prescription. writer for arful guy with a marginal education. and this in some ways indicates to us why he become so popular. are veryhas parts that complicated economic sections, but a lot of it is very beautifully written, almost poetic, very biblical and he cites the bible all the time and other figures. great vivid examples. here's the crux of the problem. it is as though an immense wedge were being forced not underneath society, which would lift everybody, that through society. those who are above the point of separation are elevated, the few. those who are below are crushed down. he says that is the problem. we have to figure out where the wages coming from and how we can redirect it. the book is 535 pages. it w

>> i think the mechanisms for social security are largely pretty clear. there is a payroll tax. you pay in to the system. and then -- >> as does your boss. >> true. and then the system invests in government debt. and some people say that's just an iou but the truth that all financial instruments are ious and then eventually you get a benefit back. now maybe that benefit isn't worth it, maybe you would rather have the money now, maybe you would rather invest it yourself and that is fair to vote on but to say the system is particularly okay or difficult to understand i don't think that would be particularly fair because other retirement plans also function in fairly similar ways, you contribute and get something out at the end. >> governor huckabee is pushing back most of the field when it comes to tinkering with medicare and social security but he made an interesting point about preventable disease that you don't hear and usually it has to do with the finances and how we are going to pay for keep people well ten and 20 years from now. he pointed out that the big four heart diseas

waj is keeping an eye on the social media. >> i'm all over social media. most of the conversation is centered around the debate, which has been used more than 200,000 times today. now this might be the first time in history presidential candidates are trolling each other on social media before a debate. here is a snarky exchange between donald trump and hillary clinton that happened just today. donald with this humble tweet that has 4,000 re-tweets. at the request of many, i will be covering democratic debate live on twitter. hillary clinton shout back, glad you're going to be watching. it's going to be huge. she got 4500 retweets. there have been likes, actions and shares since january. the top three issues discussed, religion. number two, gun control. number three, the economy. turning to bernie sanders, he's killing it on social media. on #feel the person has had 3,000 retweets. right now the twitter-verse is making it loud and clear what they want to hear about, wage, immigration and this could be a huge boost for candidates. last month's g.o.p. debate

if you start with the social security reforms, congress hasn't passed a reform to the social security program since ronald reagan was president. there's a reason it's taken over 30 years to get reforms programmed. the reforms in this program, especially as it relates to disability, a program that's headed for direct bankruptcy, are very important to make sure that seniors are protected from the kind of cuts that could come from bankruptcy as well as people with disabilities that have been clamoring for reforms to prevent people from abusing that program, from the double dipping and the fraud involved in that program. the fact that it's taken over 30 years to get those kind of reforms to social security are very significant to strengthening the program for people who use it and rely upon it. the other thing is there has been a big fight within our conference between fiscal hawks and defense hawks, to get budget numbers that work, but in a fiscally responsible way. some people said you couldn't accomplish both. in this budget agreement, we actually saw that in a way where both fiscal co

social media lit up. it was really about the moderators. >> #moderators. >> let's go over to the big board. take a look at some of the most popular tweets last night. the word terrible was used to describe the moderators nearly 2,000 times last night on twitter. the word awful about 1400 times and another, the word bad. those guys were being kind of nice. 1200 tweets about the cnbc moderators last night. the most twitter mentions last night, ted cruz when he fired back and picked on the moderators, what kind of questions are we getting, look at that big spike, 55,000 mentions when he went after the moderators last night. ted cruz crushed it last night on twitter. 134,000 twitter mentions for ted cruz. donald trump just under 100,000 and ben carson right behind him. ted cruz was the most discussed on facebook. facebook at least allows a little more conversation to happen than twitter with 140 characters. ted cruz crushing it there, donald trump doing well and ben carson. marco rubio had a standout moment w

brent: there is very little social security in china for older people right now. >> the social security system is not yet stable, that's the problem. there are many more older people and the younger people have to sustain them. i am sure that in about two years -- we talked about the relaxation of the one child policy, but they will likely be incentives that the chinese government will do to encourage this. brent: much like we see in germany. a lot of people are talking about who will want to have more children right now. will it be the farmers, those in the four, rural areas? will they be the ones to take advantage of this? >> before already have more children. those are the ones who mostly disrupt the policy. they had more children than they were allowed to cut -- allowed to because the social security system was not able enough to be sure that when they were older they would be sustained by the one child. the policy targets the middle class and the middle class are probably those that will not have more than one child. it is too expensive. brent: if you talk to people who have been i

of social security. i think that's the role for this flexibility. i think people should be encouraged to save a lot on top of social security, but i think that -- >> but you would -- >> yeah. i think that you really need flexibility, because many times either people need money for current expenditures or if you, you know, if you have mandates also, you often end up -- even if it's a very small fraction of people, you know, if you impose enormous hardship on just 1% of the population because you haven't quite structured the mandate in the right way, that can offset almost everything else that you're doing that's good with the rest of system. and so i think that, again, the real advantage, you know, i gave one example, but the real advantage of having a system where it's kind of a strongly-suggested default but not one that we're going to absolutely force you to take is that you get the main effect of a mandate for 90% of the people. it's just that for that last little bit that really need the flexibility,
