By a 255-67 bipartisan vote the U.S. House passed a resolution holding U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for not releasing documents related to a gun running operation that resulted in the death of a border patrol agent.
The House Oversight Committee, under the leadership of Chairman Darrell Issa, is seeking documents related to the "Fast and Furious" program in which guns sold in Mexico border areas were tracked in hopes of tracing them to leaders of drug rings across the border in Mexico. Guns in the program were later used in a number of crimes, including the murder of the border patrol agent.
After contentious debate, lawmakers proceeded with the vote, the first in American history to hold a sitting cabinet member in contempt of Congress. Dozens of Democrats protested by walking out of the chamber, but 17 of their colleagues joined 238 Republicans in holding Holder in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Oversight Committee. Two Republicans voted against the resolution.
Every member of Oklahoma's delegation voted to approve the resolution, according to the House clerk's results.
The Justice Department claims it has released all of the relevant documents. Holder said the politically motivated allegations were "reckless," a focus on politics over public safety.
"Today's vote is the regrettable culmination of what became a misguided and politically motivated investigation during an election year," Holder told reporters in Washington.
The outcome was unnecessary and unwarranted, Holder said. He said when he first learned about the operation he ordered an independent investigation. During the process, he learned the tactics began in the previous administration, ended the practice and created new policies, Holder said.
On Dec. 14, 2012, Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry was conducting operations as a member of the agency's tactical unit in the Nogales, Ariz., area, according to U.S. Customs Border Protection, a subdivision of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Terry's team encountered five individuals, at least two of whom were arrested with rifles near Rio Rico, Ariz. During the attempt to arrest them, the agents and suspects exchanged fire. Terry, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps and as a police officer in his home state of Michigan, was wounded during the gunfight and died on Dec. 15, 2010. He was survived by his parents, his brother and two sisters.
House Republicans claim the shift in strategy was known and authorized at the highest levels of the Justice Department. Holder has said allowing guns to "walk" is "wholly unacceptable" regardless of which party controls the White House.
Last week, after President Obama exercised executive privilege over documents subpoenaed on Oct. 12, 2011, and negotiations between the House Oversight Committee and Justice Department failed, the committee voted to hold Holder in contempt, setting up the vote in the full House.
House leaders postulated about the reason why the White House was not releasing the documents. Republicans questioned what the White House knew and why it chose to invoke executive privilege. Other observers questioned whether it was an appropriate use of executive privilege.
Now, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, who works for Holder, will decide whether or not to send the contempt citation to a grand jury.
During the last five years before the end of 2011, of the nearly 94,000 guns that have been recovered and traced in Mexico more than 64,000 were sourced to the United States, according to the Justice Department. During that time, trafficking of firearms across the U.S.-Mexico border has contributed to about 40,000 deaths.

Massey has talked to a few people who are unhappy about the Bicycle Master Plan's reverse angle parking the city implemented at Fielding's office, he said.

Crane Aerospace and Electronics has announced that its SmartStem wireless tire pressure system has been certified for use with Boeing 737NG aircraft. It is already approved for use with the Boeing 747-400, 777 and 787, and with numerous business jet types. The system comprises high-accuracy sensors that replace standard wheel fill stems, and a handheld reader that takes quick and accurate tire pressure readouts without gas loss. The ease and speed of use of the system promotes daily checks, with improved safety as a result, and an increase in tire life.

News and issues relating to business, corporate and private aviation, primarily regarding turbine-engine powered airplanes and helicopters. Subjects include aircraft, engines, personnel, acquisitions, accidents, safety, security and training.
NetJets this month expects to import its first two aircraft into China in anticipation of securing a Chinese air operators certificate (AOC) around the end of the first quarter of 2014. The U.S. fractional ownership provider will base a pair of its Hawker 800 midsized jets in China in order to be able to offer private charter services to local clients.
At the XXII Olympic Winter Games, which open tomorrow and run through February 23, business aircraft passengers and crew visiting the Southern Russian city of Sochi will see the results of massive infrastructure investments–estimated at $50.7 billion–made since 2008.
"There is a fundamental difference between the FAA and Department of Transportation Inspector General about non-citizen trust [NCT] aircraft registrations," FAA deputy chief counsel Marc Warren told attendees this morning at the NBAA business aircraft finance, registration and legal conference in St. Petersburg, Fla. Last Friday, the DOT IG issued a memo that said the FAA still does "not have the information it needs on numerous aircraft owned under non-U.S.
A slew of business aircraft will be on static display next week at the biennial Singapore Airshow, which will be held at its usual venue adjacent to Changi International Airport. The list includes the Beechcraft King Air 250 and 350i; Bombardier Global 6000 and Challenger 605; Cessna Caravan and Citation Sovereign+; Dassault Falcon 7X; Gulfstream G280 and G650; Piaggio Avanti II; Pilatus PC-12; and Socata TBM850.
Boeing Business Jets announced yesterday that it made the first two BBJ 787-8 deliveries of 2014 over the past week to separate undisclosed customers. These aircraft mark the second and third BBJ 787s delivered to date, after the first one was handed over to a customer in December. Like all BBJs, the airplanes were delivered green and are undergoing completion at third-party outfitting centers.
Wheels Up has raised an additional $10 million in equity capital in response to what founder and CEO Kenny Dichter describes as strong demand from investors wanting a stake in the new private aviation membership program. Initially, the New York-based company had aimed to raise around $55 million by the end of last year.
Along with the ample opportunities to network and meet with current and potential vendors, attendees at last month's NBAA Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference had a slate of educational sessions led by industry experts to choose from, in this year's case 29 in all, and among the offerings were several safety and emergency-themed seminars.
Though the Super Bowl is typically counted on as a magnet for private aircraft, this year's turnout at New York City-area airports proved in many cases to be disappointing. Teterboro (N.J.) Airport, which was expecting a sellout, still had space available on game day, with some FBOs there receiving traffic that was just half to one-third of their aircraft reservations. Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y., which had expected to receive overflow traffic, reported only 14 late-night departures after the game.
Textron has secured a $500 million credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase and other major banks that will help finance its planned $1.4 billion acquisition of Beechcraft, according to an SEC filing.

Steam Controller hands-on: It's only weird until it works
Valve's new Steam Controller is unlike any other gamepad we've ever used. At first, it's kind of a clumsy, alien experience trying to come to grips with Valve's solution for bringing control of PC games to the living room. But after spending some time with the Steam Controller at CES, its unusual design starts to make sense and, soon, feel natural. And then, it clicks.
During a private demo at Valve's CES booth, Polygon got to spend ample time with the Steam Controller and one of the creators who knows it well, Jeff Bellinghausen. He's been evangelizing what the game pad is capable of, from first-person shooters like Portal 2 to turn-based strategy games to indie games like Papers, Please.
Bellinghausen walked us through Valve's current implementation, legacy mode, which translates controller inputs into keyboard presses and mouse movement. The company has full Steamworks API integration coming soon, to Valve's own games and third-party titles, which should make the Steam Controller experience even better.
Watch the video above for an introduction to the Steam Controller, our thoughts on the unique game pad and our interview with Bellinghausen for additional insight into Valve's strategy. For more from our interview with Bellinghausen, read about Valve's plans to support games like Dota 2 natively with the Steam Controller.

A Speech Delivered at the City University of New York Graduate Center Center for the Humanities' "Re-imagining the Welfare State" Conference on March 1, 2004
For much of the past century, American policy has been driven by a broad-based national commitment to expanding economic opportunity and enlarging the circle of those who share in the country's prosperity. There was a widely held understanding that government had an indispensable role in preventing abuses of private economic power and opening the door to economic progress for more Americans.
It began in the Progressive Era, when the federal government first challenged the robber barons, setting limits on the concentration of economic power, and establishing minimum standards to protect industrial workers and consumers.
It flourished in the post-war era exemplified by the GI Bill. Government programs made it possible for millions of veterans to enter the middle class – helping them obtain an education and purchase a home.
It took on new dimensions in the New Frontier and Great Society, seeking to lift up those trapped in a harsh underclass by prejudice and intractable poverty. Civil rights laws removed legal obstacles, and the war on poverty sought to break down economic barriers.
This national commitment to expanding opportunity produced extraordinary results. It transformed America – moving generations of low-wage workers, immigrants, and subsistence farmers into the middle-class, where stable jobs enabled parents to build a better life for their children.
To acknowledge this enormous achievement is not to say that the process worked for everyone. Some groups, especially people of color, faced additional obstacles because prejudice and isolation slowed their progress. It is essential that they too receive the extra support they need to fully overcome these historic hardships. Perhaps the most fundamental of all the lessons we learned along the way on this great journey is that economic expansion and economic justice are not mutually exclusive. And prosperity does not depend on trickle-down economics or survival of the fittest social policy. The pace of economic growth was not slowed by governmental standards requiring that workers be fairly compensated and have a safe work environment – that consumers be protected from dangerous products – and that the affluent contribute, through progressive tax laws, to the creation of a strong safety net.
In fact, the breadth of the prosperity which these standards produced actually stimulated even greater growth. Just as investment in plants and equipment was a sensible economic strategy, so was investment in our people. In the three decades following World War Two, the American economy expanded at an unprecedented rate, and the wealth of workers rose at the same pace as the wealth of corporate presidents and CEOs.
By any objective measure, these policies were an extraordinary success for America. The nation's great wealth was enjoyed more broadly among its people than ever before.
Unfortunately, for reasons we know all too well, the national consensus on policies to expand economic opportunity began to come apart in the 1980s. Divisive social issues contributed to the fragmentation of the progressive coalition that had dominated American politics for most of the century. So large a majority of Americans had moved into the middle class that more and more of them began to feel that government no longer needed to provide a safety net or facilitate upward mobility. They had already arrived at their economic destination.
As a result, Republicans came to a new dominance for much of the last quarter century -- controlling the White House in the 1980s, and both houses of Congress for most of the 1990s, and both branches in recent years. They have tried hard as well to dominate the federal courts. Today's Republicans are very different from those who led their party in earlier years. The Republican Party is now controlled by ideological extremists who reject any meaningful role for government in expanding economic opportunity or preventing the abuses of private economic power. Some of them even openly proclaim that their goal is to "starve the beast" – cut taxes so low that government will not have the resources to play a meaningful role in the economy. These latter day Social Darwinians clearly believe that those who assemble great concentrations of wealth should be unfettered and permitted to dominate the nation's economic life, much as they did in the late 19th century.
Given such developments, it is not surprising that progressives today are being forced to re-fight battles which our predecessors won decades ago. Today's Republicans want to make the tax code the exclusive domain of large corporations and the wealthy, not a means of expanding opportunity for all Americans. They want to repeal the estate tax and end the progressivity of the income tax which have stood as pillars of our tax code for nearly a century.
Now, with control of both Congress and the White House for the first time nearly half a century, Republicans want to tilt the scales against workers and in favor of employers by denying overtime pay, abolishing the 40-hour work week, allowing the minimum wage to whither on the vine, ignoring workplace health and safety rules, and repealing any environmental rules that become inconvenient to the corporate world.
Because of Social Security, generations of working men and women have been able to count on having a financial foundation in retirement and benefits at any age if they became disabled. But today's ideologically extreme Republicans do not believe in the concept of social insurance. So they have made the campaign to privatize Social Security one of their most passionate causes.
They have made the Medicare program a source of even greater profits for pharmaceutical companies and the insurance industry, instead of meeting America's commitment to give a reliable, and affordable prescription drug benefit to senior citizens.
One by one, issue by issue, program by program, the Republican Right has methodically turned away from policies which brought about a century of progress for working Americans. They want to build the 21st century economy on 19th century economic values, as if the last 100 years had not occurred. For them, the law of the jungle is the best economic policy for America – not equal opportunity, not fairness, not the American dream. Their policies will inevitably result in a lesser America, and have already meant a growing gulf between rich and poor.
Between World War II and 1980, the incomes of high, middle and low-income families rose in unison. With the government policies then in place, a rising tide did lift all boats, as President Kennedy once said. But beginning in the 1980's, with Republicans in control of the White House and the Senate, the positive economic climate began to change, and income inequality began to grow. In the last twenty years, the rising tide has sunk many smaller boats. For decades, the philosophy behind the minimum wage and many other progressive economic polices was that no one who works for a living should have to live in poverty. It is shameful that for so many of those in control today, the philosophy is, "Pull up the ladder, now that I'm aboard."
And today, the gulf between rich and poor is the widest it has been in nearly 70 years. The percentage of national income going to the middle class has also shrunk. Since 1980, the average after-tax income of the wealthiest 1% rose by more than 200%, increasing by $567,000 in real dollars. In stark contrast, the average after tax income of middle-income households rose by only 15% during the same period, increasing by just $5,500. And the average after-tax income of the working poor rose by an even smaller percentage, just 9%, growing by a mere $1,100.
In fact, in recent years, 90% of all gains in personal income have gone to the wealthiest 1% of Americans. The number of Americans living in poverty is growing. These disturbing statistics vividly demonstrate that the widespread prosperity which progressive policies helped to create over the past century can easily erode if those policies are abandoned.
By the mid-20th century, the federal government had ensured basic worker rights, and there was a relatively strong correlation between the prosperity of the corporation and the welfare of its workers.
If a company product was in demand, the size of the workforce would grow and workers' wage and benefit demands would more likely be met. But, that correlation no longer exists throughout much of today's economy.
Technology allows companies to increase productivity while reducing their workforce, and outsourcing enables profits to grow by sending American jobs abroad. As we know from current headlines, the Bush Administration is cheering the practice on, although they are not supposed to say so in public.
We have lost more manufacturing jobs in the last three years than in the previous 20 years. Outsourcing has already devastated manufacturing and is now costing jobs in the service sector as well.
The trends that are evident in today's economy demonstrate that a larger role for government is needed if we are to insure that our children enjoy the same widespread economic opportunity which my generation did. When the incomes of the wealthy, the middle class, and the poor are rising together, then the decisions of those who control capital are more likely to benefit the entire workforce. In other words, their self-interest and the public interest are more likely to coincide. As a result, less government involvement is needed to insure that prosperity is broadly shared. However, in a time when most of the income gains are going to the richest 1% of the population, it is clear that the gains of the wealthy few are coming at the expense of everyone else. In such an environment, it becomes particularly important for government to provide a counter-balance to private economic power, and to insure that all segments of society benefit from the prosperity.
Only an active government genuinely committed to the welfare of American workers can ameliorate these highly negative trends. The growth in income inequality we have seen in the last 20 years will be dwarfed by the income gulf we will see in the next 20 years, unless we take necessary actions now. Future generations will be left to ask what became of the once great American middle class.
Progressives cannot continue to play defense in the battle of ideas. The stakes are too high. Nor can we allow ourselves to be cast as mere defenders of the status quo. We must make the debate between our vision of the future versus theirs. In reality, it is the Republican Right which is wedded to the ideas of the distant past, 19th century ideas which America rejected in the early years of the last century. We should portray them for what they are, Neanderthal merchants of outmoded ideas recycled from long ago.
Our vision for the future will certainly include a continuing commitment to the enduring principles that vastly expanded economic opportunity and social justice throughout the 20th century. But, we must go beyond them. Some of the most serious threats to the well-being of families today did not exist in years past, and some of the old problems still go unsolved as well. We need an agenda that has the capability to meet and master the challenges of 21st century life, that reignites the American dream for all people, and not just some, and that convinces people we know the way ahead.
Now is a time to come together and develop a blueprint to make 21st century America a genuine "opportunity society," – one that provides all our families with economic mobility and security.
First, we must create new and meaningful jobs for all Americans. And we must do this by recognizing once again that government – an enlightened government – has an extraordinary responsibility to assist in this task. History has shown that direct public investment in our human capital and our infrastructure can have a substantial role both in generating economic growth and in broadening economic opportunity.
We must find a way to guarantee health care for every American. The current system ignores the medical needs of 44 million of our fellow citizens, and is a major drag on our economy. Every other industrialized nation guarantees it, and so must we.
The greatest squandering of human capital in our nation is in the students who leave school – graduates as well as dropouts – without the education they need to lead productive lives in society. In the long-term, it costs far more to neglect them than it would cost to help these students develop to their full potential.
Publicly funded research and development is essential to both the economy and our quality of life. The revolution in information technology at the end of the last century was spawned by government- sponsored projects. It is clear already that this new century will be the Century of the Life Sciences, with a legion of breakthroughs made possible by research funded by the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies. Research in areas such as the human genome has not only opened new health care horizons, it is creating substantial new employment opportunities across the country. We must continue to invest in the future.
America is facing an infrastructure crisis. By funding more of those building projects now, we get a double benefit – more efficient facilities and well-paying jobs. For example, every billion dollars invested in highway construction produces 47,500 jobs. That can have a big impact on the economy in a hurry.
It is imperative to provide a stable financial foundation for the federal government if we are to effectively address the pressing economic, educational, and health needs of the people. None of these important government initiatives can be accomplished with inadequate resources. They surely cannot be undertaken on the incredibly shrinking tax base that is the legacy of the Bush Administration. Federal revenues are now at the lowest percentage of gross domestic product since 1950. The tax rates on the top income brackets must be returned to pre-2001 levels, and a new higher bracket – about 45% -- should be created for incomes over one million dollars. In addition, we know that major revenue losses result each year from the exploitation of corporate tax loopholes. Those loopholes must be closed. The changes I am proposing will affect only a small percentage of the wealthiest taxpayers. By restoring greater progressivity to the tax code, we will actually be able to reduce the tax burden on millions of hard-working families with modest incomes, as well as fund the public investments the nation so desperately needs.
Our Republican colleagues will no doubt claim that higher taxes on the wealthy will stifle economic growth. I remember Senator Phil Gramm saying in 1993 that the Clinton tax bill would cause the greatest recession since the Great Depression. His crystal ball was certainly fogged. Under President Clinton, we created 22 million new jobs, and notwithstanding the higher taxes, the rich actually grew richer in the 1990s. The marginal tax rates on high incomes that I would favor would still be far lower than the marginal rates in effect during the most economically productive decades of the last century. Republicans love to quote President Kennedy on cutting taxes, but as I remind them, the top tax bracket on his Inaugural Day was 91 percent.
We should also be prepared to look beyond the taxpayers for new sources of investment in infrastructure. And in this, too, government has an important and productive role.
At least a small portion of the trillions of dollars in pension funds could be invested in public projects. If just five percent of the nation's pension funds were invested, at competitive rates, directly in job-creating and economy-building activities, more than $300 billion in assets could be made available, in a manner consistent with both the security and growth of the pension funds.
Second, we must also assure greater job security for working men and women and their families in this age of rapid global economic change.
Workers today have less job security than most workers had in years past. In this economy with its churning labor market, security comes not through the guarantee of the same job throughout your career, but through the ability to find a new job with at least comparable salary and benefits if you lose your old job.
One of the most disturbing facts about the current jobless recovery is that today's new jobs pay $8,000 less on average than the jobs being lost. Today's workers are working harder for less. We have a serious problem not only with the quantity of available jobs, but with the quality as well.
In the manufacturing sector, as I noted earlier, technology and outsourcing are eliminating an increasing number of well- paid, high-skill jobs. Recently, outsourcing has begun to take away quality jobs in the service sector as well. From computer engineers to financial analysts to radiologists, highly trained workers are seeing more and more of their jobs moving abroad.
When the only jobs disappearing were relatively low-skilled and low-paid, education and job training seemed to offer the solution. Give laid off workers a new skill and they will find better jobs than the ones they lost. Now however, when large numbers of high-skill jobs are disappearing, retraining alone is no longer a sufficient answer. Education is still the single most important element in obtaining a job with a future, and America needs to put substantially more resources into preparing workers for new careers.
But, we must also address the direct causes of the large scale job loss in recent years. Currently, the corporate income tax subsidizes the installation of new technology to replace workers, but it does far less to encourage companies to upgrade the skills of their existing workforce or to create new jobs. Some loss of jobs due to technology is inevitable. Often however, whether to purchase new equipment or to create new jobs and upgrade existing jobs is a relatively close choice financially. In those cases, we should not make it more attractive to buy new equipment than to create new jobs. We need a new job creation tax credit that provides several years of tax benefits for a company that invests in an expanded workforce. The analogy is to the tax benefit currently available for depreciating new equipment.
Tax incentives for outsourcing in current law are especially disturbing. Companies can fully deduct many costs in moving jobs overseas as business expenses, from the cost of establishing new facilities in a foreign country to the cost of paying the foreign workers. There is no reason to have U.S. taxpayers subsidize business decisions that harm American workers. In many respects, the tax code of today gives an unacceptable preference to corporate dollars earned from foreign operations over dollars earned from domestic operations. The reverse should be true. Corporate tax laws should be modified to increase the cost of exporting jobs and decrease the cost of maintaining jobs in America.
In addition, the impact of a corporation's decision to move domestic jobs overseas should be publicly evaluated. Companies should not be permitted to shift the costs of that decision onto others. Just as we require an environmental impact statement before specific actions are taken by a company, the tax law should require an employment impact statement before a company outsources a substantial number of jobs. The statement should go beyond current proposals requiring prior notice of outsourcing decisions. It should also require a detailed evaluation of the impact on the effected workers and the community. What new employment opportunities are available for these workers? What training will be necessary to make the transition and how long will it take? Would the new jobs that are available provide comparable pay and benefits? What other options are available to the company? How substantial was the financial benefit of outsourcing to the company? Was outsourcing necessary to compete with imported products? Could the work be performed profitably within the United States? Was outsourcing the only way to keep the company in business or was the decision made merely to raise the profit margin? Will the outsourcing enable the company to maintain a greater number of other jobs in the country? How could the community help to preserve the jobs? What is the cost to the community of losing them?
Such an employment impact statement would clearly identify the true costs of the decision to outsource, and compel companies to face up to these concerns. In some cases it could lead companies to reevaluate their decisions and to consider other alternatives. Outsourcing decisions have far too large a public impact to be made in private without public scrutiny and without adequate time for the community to react.
Third, we must do more to prevent irresponsible corporate behavior and make companies more accountable to both their communities and their workers. In recent years, we have seen a disturbing increase in corporate conduct that focuses exclusively on increasing short-term profits, and ignores the long-term impact on workers, on environment, and on national values. Many thoughtful proposals have been offered to deter corporate misbehavior.
The nation's pension funds can help achieve such a goal. The single largest source of savings in the nation is the $6 trillion held by pension funds that are the deferred wages of working Americans. Half of that amount is controlled by the private sector corporations for which those employees work. In recent years, we have seen too many examples where pension fund managers hired by major corporations operated those trust funds for the benefit of the company to the detriment of the workers. The laws governing supervision of corporate pension funds need to be reformed. It is, after all, the employees' money. Workers deserve a much stronger say, through fund managers of their choice, in how their money is used.
Pension funds -- public and private – now own half of all the publicly-traded corporate shares in America. Traditionally, these fund managers have been passive investors, playing little role in corporate policy-making. In most instances, this passivity has made them silent allies of corporate management.
There is an emerging view, which I share, that pension funds should become much more active investors, providing an independent outside voice in corporate governance. Such a voice in the boardroom could be a major deterrent to corporate misbehavior which is harmful to the overall economy. That role would not be inconsistent with fiduciary duty; it would be protecting the real interest of the people whose funds the fiduciary is managing.
Finally, new and innovative governmental action is also needed to break the cycle of poverty that has trapped so many low-income families for so long. In recent years, poverty has actually been rising again. Three million more people are living in poverty today than in the year 2000. In most of those families, people are working hard for low wages and often in several jobs, but are unable to get ahead. They live from paycheck to paycheck, stretching every dollar. These are the families at the heart of the minimum wage debate. Working 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, a mother with two young children earns only $10,700 a year, not enough to rise above the poverty line. It is important for the American people to know these families are there.
They certainly deserve a raise. But they deserve something more – the same economic opportunity that countless other families enjoy – the chance to build a nest-egg – to save some money to help their children get an education, to buy a home of their own, to live a little better in retirement. Studies clearly show that the inability to develop assets is a major factor preventing low-income families from moving up the economic ladder.
Nor is the problem of accumulating savings limited to the poor. Many middle-income families also feel a financial squeeze which leaves them little or nothing for the future. As skewed as income distribution is in this country, it is nothing compared to how unfairly wealth is distributed. The wealthiest 10% of the nation's households own over two-thirds of the nation's wealth. At the other end of the spectrum, fully half the population holds only 3% of the wealth. Unless low and moderate-income families can accumulate at least some wealth, they will never have the same life options that more affluent people have.
It is particularly important to help young people begin to build a nest-egg early in life, so that its value can grow as they mature. This will enable them to take advantage of many of the opportunities that are currently limited to only those from more wealthy families. The fundamental question is how can we afford such an initiative? It's really all a matter of national priorities. Republicans want to permanently eliminate the inheritance tax on multi-millionaires estates. That will deprive the public treasury of $50 billion a year.
Is it more important to allow a few thousand heirs of the wealthiest families in America to inherit their millions tax free or to use a portion of the revenue from that tax to enable millions of Americans to build a better life? I believe the answer is obvious. Whether this country should be doing more to give all children a better start in life and all families a greater hope of living the American dream needs no debate.
One of the best forms of asset development is home ownership. It is already more widespread in America, thanks in large part to government programs and policies, than in most other nations. It is a text book example of how progressive government policies can help create widespread economic opportunity. Nevertheless, about a third of all families – and half of minority families – still cannot afford to own their own home. One reason is that the current tax subsidies for home mortgages and property taxes are structured in ways that benefit the more affluent, but does not enable many families with modest incomes to buy a home. Tax deductions offer a far greater subsidy to those in the upper brackets than those in the 10% and 15% brackets, and they offer no benefit at all to those who pay substantial payroll taxes on their wages, but owe no income tax.
We should allow first-time home owners the option of a refundable tax credit for a percentage of their mortgage interest and property taxes as an alternative to the current deduction. To do so will give working families with modest incomes a roughly equivalent tax benefit in a form that is far more usable for them. For families on the financial edge, it could make the difference between home ownership and endless rent, and enable them to build up a lifetime of equity.
The debate is only just beginning, but what happens in the coming months will have a profound impact. People in all 50 states know that too much has gone wrong for too long, and that 2004 is the year to renew and revitalize our commitment to a genuine "opportunity society." Thank you all very much.

Jim Woster
January 13, 2010 1:10 PM
Before it closed last June the Sioux Falls Stockyards was going on 93 years of business. And for four decades one man was a part of it. Now he's making sure the history and the memories are remembered. For that reason, Jim Woster is tonight's "Someone You Should Know".
The Sioux Falls Stockyards have been a part of the downtown Sioux Falls landscape for 92 years. For farmers it was a place to do business.
Tom Hill says, "I've been to the auction ring a couple of times. I used to raise pigs when the price was decent."
For John Morrell employees on their way to work, it's a building they walk past every day. But for 42 years it was Jim Wooster's work.
Jim Woster says, "I came out of South Dakota State in 1962, I graduated on a Monday night and came down here on a Tuesday morning, started working for the Stockyard Company."
Now trucks drive by the Stockyards and the parking lot is empty. When Woster found out the Stockyards were being shut down, he took some time to reflect on the memories.
Jim Woster says, "On a Sunday morning, I told my wife, 'I'm going down to the Stockyards and I wasn't sure why and I went up on the crosswalk of the cattle ally and I looked at my watch and I'd been there an hour and fifteen minutes. I'm not sure what I even thought about, but I guess just thinking back on what a special place it was."
Woster was also there to see the last cattle sale in June.
Jim Woster says, "I saw people down here that were coming down just bringing grandkids down. They wanted to see the place. Customers, truckers we had for 50 years. It was a special place."
Even though the gates are now closed, Woster made sure the memories aren't forgotten. He invited PBS to do a special documentary on the Stockyards, so that the history is preserved.
Jim Woster says, "This really is kind of where the city started and for ninety-two years, this place really was a large part of Sioux Falls, South Dakota."
The building may not be here much longer, but Woster says he can always look back on the memories. For that, he says he's thankful.
Jim Woster says, "Sometimes you get lucky in life, you know. If you can do something you like for that long and make money at it, it doesn't get any better than that."
Jim Woster will be on the SDSU campus in Brookings tomorrow night, sharing some of the stories he collected from his time at the Stockyards.

Facebook 'dead and buried' as teenagers switch to WhatsApp and Snapchat - because they don't want mum and dad to see their embarrassing pictures
- Alternative picture-sharing apps are growing along with Instagram
- Study found many leave Facebook when their parents send friend request
- University College London expert: 'Facebook is simply not cool any more'
By Nick Fagge
Facebook is losing its appeal to teenagers as more and more parents start using it to keep tabs on them, researchers have discovered.
They say youngsters now consider the social networking site 'dead and buried' and are too embarrassed to post intimate details in case their mothers or fathers find out.
The research, which looked into the online habits of teenagers in eight European countries including the UK, found many young Facebook users were switching to alternatives such as Snapchat and WhatsApp.
Scroll down for video
Losing its edge? Facebook was once the coolest site on the web - until it was joined by the world's parents
The Global Social Media Impact study said teenagers were switching to Snapchat (left) and WhatsApp (right)
Professor Daniel Miller of University College London, who worked on the Global Social Media Impact Study, said British youngsters were 'embarrassed even to be associated with it'.
He added: 'Young people are turning away in their droves and adopting other social networks instead, while the worst people of all, their parents, continue to use the service.'
Professor Miller said teenagers now regarded Facebook as 'so uncool', adding: 'You can't be young and free if you know your parents can access your every indiscretion. Young people care about style and status in relation to their peers, and Facebook is simply not cool any more.
'Where once parents worried about their children joining Facebook, the children now say it is their family that insists they stay there to post about their lives. Parents have worked out how to use the site and they see it as a way for the family to remain connected.
'What appears to be the most seminal moment in a young person's decision to leave Facebook was surely that dreaded day that your mum sends you a friend request.'
Is that your mum? Teenagers are losing interest in Facebook, the study found (photo posed by models)
However, the study found many teenagers do continue to use Facebook to stay connected with older family members or siblings who have left home.
The research, funded by the European Union, looked at the behaviour of 16 to 18-year-olds over a 15-month period.
It also discovered that up to 40 per cent of Facebook users had never changed their privacy settings and 80 per cent 'did not care' if their personal data was available to organisations or individuals.
Facebook was launched by Mark Zuckerberg and his friends from their university dormitory room in 2004.
He floated it on the US stock market eight years later for more than £60 billion.
Of the new generation of sites popular with teenagers, Snapchat is a picture sharing service and WhatsApp allows smartphone users to interact using text, video, images and audio.
Another popular alternative is Instagram, which allows users to upload and share photographs – and is owned by Facebook.

Harvey's Point Country Hotel Review
Set in a remote and breathtaking location in landscaped gardens on the shores of Lough Eske at the foot of the Blue Stack Mountains, Harvey's Point has, since 1989, been a spirit-lifting escape. The drive to the Gysling family's hotel is awe-inspiring in itself and your surprise is complete when the elegant edifice looms up along the shores of the lake. Reception areas gleam with cherrywood and polished stone and flaunt great views. The Irish-with-a-French-flair restaurant has winning dishes such as roast Emyvale duckling with butternut squash and passion-fruit puree. Even if your itinerary prevents you from overnighting, it is well worth dropping in for the Sunday carvery lunch, a buffet that has become justly famous and costs €29. The cozier Wine Bar and Lounge serves weekend snacks and drinks.

The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research, "The maximum dissolved iodine of the fiber samples was determined, and microbiological assay was carried out to test their effect on the bacterial growth. SEM images showed that the polymer fibers were linear, homogenous, and contained no beads. The PALS results, both the o-positronium (o-Ps) lifetime values and distributions, revealed the changes of the free volume holes of fibers as a function of their composition and the presence of iodine."
According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "The micro- and macrostructural characterisation of polymer fiber mats enabled the selection of the required composition from the point of their applicability as a wound dressing."
For more information on this research see: Polymer structure and antimicrobial activity of polyvinylpyrrolidone-based iodine nanofibers prepared with high-speed rotary spinning technique.
