What I want to talk to you about right now is often abused, it's often misunderstood, it's often misrepresented. I want to talk to you about grace. What is the grace of God? Well, the grace of God is God doing for you what you could not do for yourself. The grace of God is the power of God within you. The grace of God is the Holy Spirit's presence within you, empowering you to accomplish God's will. I'm going to talk about grace on this edition of Spirit Church here on the EncounterTV Network. But first, Stephen Moctezuma is here. He's going to lead you in some anointed worship. And then I want to talk to you about grace. Grace is the power to live holy. Grace is the power to accomplish the will of God. Grace is the power to persevere and so much more. This message really is going to strengthen your faith and strengthen your walk with the Lord. No longer will you waver, this truth will set you free. Here is Stephen Moctezuma. To get right into this, first of all, I want to tell you what grace is not, because often you've heard of grace being abused. The scripture makes it very clear that the grace of God is not an excuse to live an unholy life. There are those, even preachers or so-called, who will tell you that you can live however you want and so long as you're living in the grace of God that there are no consequences to that sin. But the truth is that the Bible makes it perfectly clear that God demands of us, God requires of us holy and righteous living. So I want to read a scripture to you that's going to, first of all, lay the foundation teaching you what grace is not and how prophetic this scripture is. In Jude chapter 1 verses 3 through 8 say this, Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share, but now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to His holy people. I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only master and Lord Jesus Christ. So I want to remind you, though you already know these things, that Jesus Christ first rescued the nation of Israel from Egypt, but later he destroyed those who did not remain faithful. So I'm going to stop here just for a second, then I'll read the rest of that portion of scripture. There are some who teach that because we are living in a period of the grace of God that there is therefore no more judgment, no more punishment for sin, but the scripture here is making it perfectly clear that there still are consequences to sin. Let's continue reading, and I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them, but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them securely chained in prisons of darkness waiting for the day of judgment, the great day of judgment. And don't forget about Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighboring towns which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion, those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God's judgment, verse 8, in the same way these people who claim authority from their dreams, live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at supernatural beings. So here the scripture is making it very clear that though we are under the grace of God, though Jesus did pay the penalty for our sins, that we are not to abuse that grace to live immoral lives. Now I'm not talking to the believer who is struggling and making an effort in holiness. I'm talking to the one who is stubbornly refusing to turn from sin, clinging to grace as in this context a false hope. Grace does not do a thing for the one who will not attempt to walk with God, for the one who does not try. It's all about the heart. It's all about the position of repentance in the heart. So that scripture, that portion of scripture makes it absolutely clear. We are not to live immoral lives. We are to live in holiness. We are to live in righteousness. We are to live for God's will. So don't go on sinning saying, well the grace of God allows me to do so. That's not at all what the scripture teaches. But the Bible does teach that God's grace empowers us. You see, the grace of God is more than just unmerited favor, as you've often heard it said. You see unmerited favor means that God gives us something we don't deserve. Grace is not the idea that God gives us something that we do not deserve. Grace is that which God gives us, even though we don't deserve it. So the question is not how merciful is God that he gives us what we don't deserve. The question of grace is, what is that thing he gives us that we don't deserve? And this is what grace is. It's more than mercy. It's more than forgiveness. It's more than the pardon from your sin. You see the Holy Spirit in Zechariah chapter 12 verse 10 is called the spirit of grace. And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of supplications. What does this spirit of grace cause them to do? Look very carefully at the scripture. So that spirit of grace comes upon them. That spirit of supplication, grace and prayer. What does the Holy Spirit within them cause them to do when he comes upon them? What does grace drive us to do? Look at what the scripture says, and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him as one that is in bitterness for his first mourn. Well, think about this. Look at the scripture for a second. Look at the way the Bible phrases this. This is so powerful, and they shall look upon me. This is God talking whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him. He's talking about his crucifixion when he became flesh. The word became flesh. This is talking about Jesus. The spirit of grace will first of all cause you to look to the cross. You know that drawing, that pool, that sense of urgency that you felt when you first gave your heart to the Lord? That was the grace of God drawing you to the cross, causing you to look at the one whom they pierced, causing you to look at the crucified Lord, and mourn over this. You see, grace will first cause you to mourn over your sin, and then it will cause you to repent from that sin that has caused you to mourn. Grace works conviction. Grace works holy desire. Grace inspires in you, stirs in you, this hunger, this thirst for righteousness. So grace will first of all draw you to the cross. You see, grace is God's power. Grace is God's presence within you. Do you really think that you came to the cross on your own? Do you really think that you desired the Lord on your own? No. It was grace in you desiring. I'll put it to you this way. Grace is God desiring on your behalf. Grace is God doing on your behalf. Grace is God from within you, causing you to be what he wants you to be, and he causes you to do what you could not do without his power, without his presence. So in the book of Zachariah, we see that the Holy Spirit is referred to as the spirit of grace. He causes the people to look on the cross and mourn, they're broken over their sin. Now what comes after this morning? We'll look in Zachariah chapter 13 verse 1, after they mourn over their sin. This is so powerful. The Bible says, on that day, a fountain will be opened for the dynasty of David and for the people of Jerusalem, a fountain to cleanse them from all their sins and impurity. Before we can drink from the fountain of salvation, we have to be drawn to the fountain of salvation. Grace is what drew you to salvation. Grace is God desiring on your behalf. Grace is God doing on your behalf. Grace is God accomplishing on your behalf. I want you to really get this. Think about the way I'm wording this, because I really prayerfully came to word this this way. Grace is God desiring on your behalf, desiring from within you on your behalf, accomplishing on your behalf, doing on your behalf. You wouldn't have desired salvation. You couldn't accomplish holiness on your own. You couldn't live the Christian life on your own. But grace allows you to do so. Grace is the Holy Spirit within you. I want to read you this quote here, something that I wrote. The grace of God is the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Grace is God by His Spirit, doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Grace is God by His Spirit, giving to us what we don't deserve. Grace is God by His Spirit, empowering us to do what we could not do without Him. Think about all that grace empowers us to do. Grace empowered Paul the Apostle to carry out his ministry. So grace is more, I'm going to read that in just a second where grace empowered Paul. But I want to stop and just make this clear. Grace is more than just mercy, though that is wonderful. Grace is more than just forgiveness of sins. Grace is the whole thing.  He uses you to accomplish things that only He can accomplish. I want you to really think about that. That spirit within you has desires. And His desires are so strong that from within you they overtake even your desires. His power is so great that that stirring within you works through you and accomplishes on your behalf what you could not accomplish. You couldn't desire to resist sin. You couldn't desire to come to Jesus. But grace empowers you to do so. And it does so much more. As I said, grace empowered Paul the Apostle to carry out his ministry. First Corinthians chapter 15 verse 10 says, But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out His special favor on me and not without results, for I have worked harder than any of the other apostles, yet it was not I, but God who was working through me by His grace. The ministry of Paul the Apostle, the writer of many of the books in the New Testament, he accomplished his ministry. It was carried out because of the grace of God within him. He says, It wasn't me doing it. It was the grace of God working through me on his behalf. The scripture also says in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 29, How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished, who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the spirit of grace. Grace enables us to resist evil desires. You're struggling with sin. You're tired of being broken. You're tired of the sense of shame. You're tired of the guilt.   This is what the Bible says about grace and sin. James chapter 4 verse 6 says, But he gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires. As the scriptures say, God opposes the proud, but favors the humble. This is why the Bible says we're sin abound, grace much more abounds. It doesn't say that because God is more forgiving, the more stubborn we are in our sin, not at all. God is just as forgiving as he'll ever be. All he requires is repentance and faith in him. No, that scripture, we're sin abound, grace much more abounds. Grace has to abound more because the greater the sin, the stronger the power of sin, the greater the grace needs to be to help you to overcome it, not to cover it. Grace gives you the power to resist sin. Grace teaches us to deny ungodly desires. Now think about this. Grace is actually a teacher? Who does that tell you, is in you? Who does that remind you of? That's the Holy Spirit, the spirit of grace. Titus chapter 2 verses 11 through 12 say, For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lust, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. It is by the grace of God that we serve him acceptably. Hebrews chapter 12 verse 28 says, Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. You know, one of my favorite portions of scripture described this battle that Paul the Apostle is having. He's having this battle with some struggle in his flesh. Now theologians debate as to what this might be, I'm not going to get into that, but all I know is that Paul was battling something that frustrated him, and it was something about himself that he could not be rid of. Second Corinthians chapter 12 verse 7 through 9, this is powerful. This is what the Bible says, verse 7, Even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God, so to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me, and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I beg the Lord to take it away. He's not just asking casually, Lord, remove this. Three separate times he begged the Lord. He pleaded with God in his frustration and in his anguish. He begged the Lord to remove this from his flesh. How many of us have things like that where we're just frustrated with ourselves? I cannot stand my own flesh, and I know you can't either. How many times have we said, Lord, help me to change, help me to transform. Take this from me. But God didn't. This is what he says instead. This is so powerful. Each time he said, my grace is all you need, my power works best in weakness. So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses so that the power of Christ can work through me. Many of you know I have had battles with anxiety. That's been a battle since I can remember, seven years old. I remember it being in my life as early as that age. And I remember battling with it to the point where I couldn't leave the house, or I couldn't drive in cars, or I couldn't enjoy everyday life, because the fear was so crippling. And those of you who've battled anxiety, you know that it's not just some fear that people can tell you, all get over it. It's something that goes much deeper than that. And so that fear, that anxiety, I would plead with the Lord, God, please remove this from me. And I would be frustrated. I remember praying those prayers, my whole body would tense up. And I would say, God, remove this anxiety from me. But each time I thought of this scripture, my grace is sufficient. You see, I may sometimes have anxiety, but anxiety will never have me. My grace is sufficient. It's in our weaknesses his power is perfected. Why? Because our flesh, our weaknesses drive us to the cross. They drive us to grace. They drive us to say, Lord, I can't do this on my own. I need your power. I need you to do for me what I cannot do for myself, but I need you to do it through me from the power within. His grace is sufficient. What does that mean? It means that grace does not rid you of your problems. It gives you the strength to endure them. Grace does not rid you of the flesh. It gives you the strength to subject it.  Grace is all we need to overcome the weakness of the flesh. Second Corinthians chapter 12, verse 8 and 9, we just read it, he said, my grace is sufficient. In other words, we don't need any more than that. You already have what you need to overcome it. Stop being frustrated. Stop stressing. Stop obsessing over it. And just say, Lord, I need your grace. Grace and holiness are not opposites. They are the perfect balance. Grace is the power to live in holiness. Grace is not an excuse of sin. Grace is the power to resist sin. Psalm 143, verse 10 says, teach me to do your will. For you are my God, and I love this. May your gracious spirit lead me forward on a firm footing. The Holy Spirit within you helps you to resist the temptations around you. Galatians chapter 5, verses 16 through 18 describe how the Holy Spirit fights the flesh. He comes against the sin nature. And it's more than just fighting sin. Like I said, he empowers you to do ministry. He empowers you to persevere. He empowers you in many areas of life. This is God doing for you what you cannot do for yourself, but He does it through you. He even desires on your behalf. Think about this. You're not left alone to fight that battle. I love how Psalms words this. Psalm 141, verses 3 through 4 say, take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips. Don't let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don't let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong. Psalm 39, verse 8, this is probably one of my favorite prayers. Rescue me from my rebellion. Do not let fools mock me. In other words, Lord, save me from myself. That's what grace does. When you understand the true nature of grace, you avoid the extremes of legalism and liberalism. So some say that grace is an excuse for sin. Others talk about grace in another extreme. But you see, legalism says that your salvation depends upon works, but the Scripture refutes legalism. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8 says, God saved you by His grace when you believed. You can't take credit for this. It is a gift from God.  This Scripture also refutes that. Jude chapter 1, verse 4, we just read it. I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your church's saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they denied our only master. So grace is the balance. Grace is God working in us to accomplish His will. Grace is freedom from sin. Romans chapter 6, verse 14 says, sin is no longer your master. For you no longer live under the requirements of the law, instead you live under the freedom of God's grace. Galatians chapter 5, verse 16 says, so that the Holy Spirit guide your lives, then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. The key to overcoming the flesh is not willpower, it's not discipline, it's not self-loathing or self-hatred, it's the grace of God. The key to ministry, the key that even caused you to be drawn to salvation, the very thing which caused you to desire salvation in response to the message that God presented you in truth, is grace. So grace drew you to salvation, grace gives you the power to live out your salvation, and grace will ultimately take you to the place where you receive the fullness of that salvation in glory. Grace again is God doing for you what you could not do on your own through you. Grace is that power within, grace is God's presence, grace is God's power living within you. I'm going to leave you with this thought, I want to read another quote to you. When temptation pools on the desires of your flesh, call upon the Holy Spirit. Stop what you're doing, look upward and say, help me Holy Spirit, I'm in trouble. Spirit of grace, give me the power to resist this. And don't stop calling upon him until the ungodly desire wanes. You don't have to fight the flesh on your own. You're not powerless to live the will of God. You can live your life to the glory of God because you have grace within you. The same spirit who showed you salvation and drew you to salvation is the same spirit who will help you to live in salvation and he will empower you to do much more the Holy Spirit is the spirit of grace and grace again is God doing for you what you could not do for yourself through you. He is the power within. Well, that's it for the lesson. I really felt the anointing on that and I think that chains were broken as the word of God went forth. I want to pray with you now. Let's believe God that you're finally going to come into the place where you have breakthrough in the area of sin, perseverance, in faith, because all of those things, anything that God requires of you, whether it be faith or holiness or worship or prayer, devotion in anything, it all requires grace. So I want to pray that you would depend upon the power that God has given you within which is his presence to fulfill his will. Father in the name of Jesus. I pray for that one watching right now and I ask Lord, I sense his anointing right now. I ask Lord that your grace would empower that one. I release the anointing of the Holy Spirit and I pray, Father, that your word, which is truth, would liberate us, set us free from deception, set us free from the bounds of religion, break every chain, bring healing, liberty and freedom. We thank you for your grace. Just take a moment. Just thank him for his grace right now. We thank you for your grace, Lord. In the name of Jesus, I give you the glory and the honor. Wow. I want you to say it because you agree. Say amen. Well, I want to welcome now the new members of Spirit Church. There you are up on the screen. We love you. We are praying for you.

That whole series is now available here on our channel for free, so go take a look at it. But these are some of the comments that you left on last week's video. If you'd like me to potentially read your comment next week, leave a comment right here right now on this video. So here are the comments from last week from the video, Symbols of the Holy Spirit. This one was wine, which like I said, one of my favorites to teach. Ollie Herrick writes, thanks David, I've been a believer my whole life, but never felt the Holy Spirit the way I feel him now. I appreciate the realness you bring to the gospel and the passion you have for the truth of the word. God bless you. Shalom 777 writes, I really enjoy your teachings. They are awesome. Stephen is also anointed. And Pizza Girl writes, just swung over to the iTunes store to purchase the Holy Spirit and support Stephen Matizuma. So anointed. He is very anointed. I always say it, my favorite worship leader. But he actually just released a song called the Holy Spirit and I know you'll love it. There's a link in the video right here on this channel and all the information about the song is in the description on that video. Another commenter writes, I am from Jamaica and I have learned so much from your teachings this past year. Thanks be to God for pouring out his anointing upon you.  And finally, A. Denilson Johnson writes, thanks David for this series of teachings about the Symbols of the Holy Spirit. I followed it throughout the entire series and it was a blessing to me as an evangelist in search of the Holy Spirit. Thanks again for such great work. May God bless your ministry and take you beyond borders. And we certainly do want to go beyond borders. I want to read a scripture to you and I want to encourage you in something here. This is 2 Corinthians chapter 9 and I'll begin reading, let me begin reading at verse number 6. Keep in mind here that Paul the apostle is talking about finances here. This is what the Bible says. Remember this, a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must decide each in your heart how much to give and don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure for God loves a person who gives cheerfully and I love this promise and God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. Again, it's talking about finances here. Now you know I'm not a big proponent of the prosperity gospel and to me the prosperity gospel is the promise that everyone's going to be a millionaire, that everyone's going to have a perfectly wealthy family. This is not what the Bible promises, but what the Bible does teach is that there is financial provision for those who give to the gospel and so I don't cross any lines. I like to keep things just biblical. I don't want to cross any lines and start preaching prosperity and you know I've pledged this from day one guys, I'm not going to preach the prosperity gospel. Now different people define it different ways but the way I define it is that promise of wealth and like I said a perfectly wealthy family and I don't even necessarily believe that every believer is going to be a millionaire. I don't believe that that's the central message of the gospel. It's not. The central message of the gospel is salvation through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone, the repentance from sin, the cross, the resurrection. This is the gospel. But in order to support the gospel the Bible does talk about money. So when I talk about money I'm not changing a focus and neither should you but we do need to talk about these things because there are needs in the ministry and Paul the apostle talked about giving. I'm going to talk about giving. The Bible makes it clear and I'm going to make a very hard stance on that. I do believe that the Bible talks about finances. So what is the Bible promise here? It says that if you give generously you'll harvest a generous crop. Now you aren't to give into pressure. You aren't to give reluctantly. I'm not going to pressure you. I'm not going to tell you that if you sow $30 today you're going to be debt-free in 60 days. Those are gimmicks. I don't use those. What I will say is this, the reason I raise support is not so that I can be wealthy, it's not so that Steve can be wealthy, it's so that we can continue to fund the efforts of the ministry and that is simply to build the believer and win the loss. That's our heart. That's our heartbeat, which is to win souls. The Bible says that when you give generously you'll have everything you need. So your needs are met and plenty left over to share with others. There are people watching me right now in your heart you're saying, God, I want to be someone who gifts to the gospel. I want to be someone who can help others, who can fund ministries, who can fund missions projects and orphanages and feeding projects and churches and all of that is wonderful. But here's how you start. Whenever you give, you're telling the Lord, Lord, you can trust me with your finances. But He watches to see what you do with what He's placed in your hand. And so I want to challenge you today, often we say, God, bless me and I'll give. When I get that job, when I get that promotion, when I get rid of the debt, when I'm out of school, then I'll start giving. We say, God, give me and I'll start giving. Bless me and I'll give. But God says, give and I'll bless you. The step of faith is on us. So I want to encourage you with that scripture to sew into the ministry today. Help me take the gospel all around the world. This is about souls. We want to change this world. We want to think big. We want to do larger events. We want to release more media. Many of you know we're working on that TV studio right now, which we'll be releasing some updates in the next couple of months. Very, very exciting for those of you who've given to that. But right now we're just in a season of growth and you watch, mark my words, you're going to see a day when stadiums are being filled and thousands are coming to Jesus and you're going to help us to do it. This is only the beginning. Think big. Think with faith. We're going to change this world. Revival is here. The power of God is on this ministry. The anointing is with us. We have the favor of God. Join us. Become a supporter of the ministry today. Become a partner for $30 or more a month and I will send you as an initiation gift. Monthly gifts, not one-time gifts, you sign up for $30 or more a month. We'll send you either carriers of the glory, 25 truths about demons and spiritual warfare or encountering the Holy Spirit in every book of the Bible. I will sign it. That'll be my initiation gift to you. Partner with me today. If you can't partner, look. Some of you, you can't do monthly, but you can do one time. You can give a one-time gift of $500 or even $1,000. I know there are some who God has spoken to you. In fact, I believe there's someone watching right now. God's spoken to you about an amount and in your heart you're withholding. Let me tell you something. I believe this Bible through and through and I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't talk to you also about giving. So giving is necessary. That's the system God has chosen to take advantage of for the sake of the gospel. The gospel is free, but the means to deliver it nowadays gets quite expensive. So help us do that.

from Krishnakanta Hendex State Open University. I would like to welcome you all to my online class on Introduction of Economics which is included in first semester paper on Introduction of Economic Theory 1. So, in this class we will discuss about the definition of economics. Next the nature and scope of economics. Next the concept of stock and flow. Then scope of micro and macroeconomics. The definition of economics was given by several economics at several time and Adam Schmidt was considered as one of the pioneer among them. Adam Schmidt in his book The Wealth of Nation which was published in 776 he defined economics as a study of wealth. According to Adam Schmidt the discipline of economics should study how to acquire wealth, how to distribute wealth. But the definition is given by Adam Schmidt was severely criticized due to its inherent limitation. First according to the economist that Adam Schmidt gives more importance on wealth ignoring the another important aspect that is welfare. And Adam Schmidt ignores very important issue in economics that is scarcity of resources. So, as a result Alfred Marcel there is another famous economics he in his book in Civil Law of Economics which was published in 1890 he defined economics as economics examines that part of social and individual action which is most closely connected with the attainment and with the use of material requisite of wealth. Thus it is on the one side a study of wealth and on the other more important side a part of the study of wealth. That means in the Alfred Marcel definition he includes both wealth as well as study of man. So, as a result Alfred Marcel definition was considered to be comparatively superior than the definition given by Adam Schmidt. But Alfred Marcel also ignores a very important aspect that is you know the scarcity of sources and all the resources have alternative. Then another famous economics that is Lionel Robins gave the definition of economics as economics is a science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and skirts means which have alternative uses. Now if you analyze the definition is given by Lionel Robins it basically gives importance on three aspects. At first Lionel Robins stress on the fact that human wants are unlimited as all of you noted human wants are unlimited. But the resources to satisfy those wants are limited. So, as a result economics should study how to allocate our resources in such a way that we can meet our unlimited wants with our limited resources in the best possible manner. But Adam Schmidt definition also you know criticized by several economics and later the another definition is given by Paul S. Semuelsian. So, Semuelsian define economics as economics is the study of how man and society choose with or without the use of money to employ scarce productive resource which could have alternative uses to produce various commodities over time and distribute them for consumption now and in the future among various people and group of society. So, these are basically the definition given by various economics as various time. So, next we will study about Nessar and scope of economics. Now if you see the Nessar of economics as we have already discussed that economics will include wealth welfare then distribution of wealth all the issues will be discussed in economics and the scope of economics is very wide. So, that since scope of economics is very wide it is very necessary that we should divide the subjects into some a process. Say that scope of economics can be broadly categorized into two categories that is microeconomics and macroeconomics. Scope of economics can be again categorized as positive economics and normative economics. In case of positive economics we will study economics as it is we will not put any kind of values as man. But in case of normative economics along with study of wealth welfare we have to put some value as man that means what it should be what should be the ideal distribution of resources. Next if you see the the subject of economics this is it is basically economics is a concept of choice as an economic problem. In economics as I have already told you since we have limited resources and we have unlimited ones. So, we have to make a choice that means where to distribute our resources in such a way that we can attain maximum satisfaction out of our limited resources. Next another important concept this is frequently used in economics is the stock and flow variables. Now if you study any variable at a point of time that means that is a concept of stock. Now if you study any economic variable over a period of time then this is known as a flow concept. So, let me give you a very simple example. Suppose if you are talking about money supply in an economy. So, whenever you are explaining money supply in an economy it always relates at a point of time. So, that is why money supply is a stock concept. Now if you see the national income whenever you are talking about national income we are talking about national income over a period of time say for a year. So, that is those kinds of variables are called flow variables. Next we will discuss about you know scope of micro and macro economics. Now what is micro economics? The name itself indicates that micro means small that means in micro economics we will discuss about but we usually discuss about individual unique that is individual firm, individual consumer. So, we are not that means we are not concentrate on aggregate of those variables. Now what are the theory basically we study in micro economics that is determination of prices of factors, determination of prices of communities under different market situation. Next the welfare economics and determination of prices of factors of production. So, those all issues are basically included in micro economics. Next what is macro economics? As I have already told you in case of micro economics in macro economics also the name indicates that macro means large that means here we will discuss about the aggregate of those economic entities that is aggregate of consumer, aggregate of productive resources. Now what are the topics or you know issues we are going to study in macro economics that is the theory of employment, the theory of inflation, the theory of national income, the theory of growth that. So, those all issues will be discussed in macro economics. So, thus we have learned that in this class thus we have learned that in economics we will study about what to produce, whom to produce, how to distribute all those issues will be discussed in economics and economies will concentrate on how to distribute our resources in such a manner to attain the maximum satisfaction and broadly economics can be classified into you know two categories micro economics and macro economics and you can also categorize economics in terms of positive economics and normative economics. So, this is all for today and I hope that from this class you got some idea about the basics issues of economics. Thank you.


I must dress appropriately for was bad for this Special holiday show we're doing here because we we are collectively the kings of internet progressive talk radio because we We do not get all bubbly and effervescent and Like Like a sank on the young Turks and that little chicky poo that talks fast or Or a lot of the or or Debbie from the same progressives, you know, no very melodramatic And they had they get all cutie pie You know the other guys the other guy I like mr.  Yeah, if you thought 2016 was the largest insane asylum that ever existed wait until 2017 after Trump gets inaugurated and and a few people show up to entertain and And that would they they force the Rockettes or they said for the Rockettes perform or you lose your job Yeah, the boss does not Well, the boss is a as a an elite must be an elite is kiss-ass You know well out seven bells for our holiday special progressive discussions Also to ring in the new year, but the new year is not here yet because it is New Year's Eve now Uh, as you can see you Gebronies, this is a grass root grass roots revolution style talk show We don't we do not have George Jetson state-of-the-art Expensive studio here, but we're all about content. All right that being said I was thinking of the blame a kind of a blame game Debate in my head about who is really to blame Well, I went through down the line you have huh the corporate control mainstream media, but then again They don't want to lose their high-paying jobs So they they take an accent.  He had Trump beyond there, you know with the quizzing him about Would you would you what if a woman had an abortion would you want to punish her in some way shape or form? And he couldn't answer of course he had never thought the whole thing through well He kind of put the the wall down south of the border on the back burner Well, yeah, but the point is he doesn't think about these things and now he got question and then He won't come back on the show See that you lose your access.  He blurted out many things Believe me and then and then he made his cabinet appointed appoint the appointments No appointees appointee That are totally the opposite of his campaign promises correct in Don't forget Trump is not a politician and he still did pull the politician routine of Telling you what you want to hear now Getting back to mainstream media. Yes, they don't want to get fired now Or should we blame? The imbecilic numbskull Americans Some some time as some of it. Yes a certain percentage. Yes. Yes. There are there are many Brainiacs that have apathy around election time. There are many, you know, they don't vote at all. There are many Former a very frustrated very heartbroken former a Bernie Kratz that probably didn't bother to vote or The some insane sellout ones that voted for Hillary Clinton then you have the The inbred brain cell deficient evangelical rednecks who live in a shack and They vote Republican Okay, or they vote their their cult religion.  Yeah, the fake the real The Even the truth about Christianity is is online. I mean, it's all online and and you know and and what about your gut feeling?  As Sherlock Holmes deductive reasoning there's something fishy about this candidate Something don't sit right with me You know because you got to really look at there.  Well, and then there are those that want to blame all their problems on immigrants of color or people of color in general like the ones down south and out west and that's been around for a long time your evangelicals your Your states, I guess you would say Texas North Carolina your states that want That want the poor to just drop dead if you don't have any money. I Just I'm gonna cut to the chase. That's pretty much what it is So some asshole on Fox News was saying that I know I'm sounding harsh But everyone has to start being responsible for themselves.  I bet I bet the guy who said that on Fox News had breaks in life I bet he's financially independent Well, he wouldn't talk like that otherwise because if he wasn't financially independent He wouldn't be saying make a statement like that and he probably used The safety net to get where he is today Like Rush Limbaugh. He was unemployed once with dr. Used on employment insurance. Who's a neurosurgeon doctor? Ben Carlson and Carson dr. Ben Carson He doesn't really mention it too much, but you know, he used all those To get where he is that he bashes now. Yeah, exactly interesting Exactly the hypocrites I Believe that Ryan has done so also Paul Ryan. That's correct Yes Sarah Pellin Made us not mean that's Sarah Pellin a bristle Pellin bristle.  Oh my god It's incredible now, you know, so you can blame You can blame a little of every source For the Trump victory or You can flat out Do what I do. I I blame Jeff Weaver and Bernie Sanders for Trump's victory. Yeah, but you can also you can also blame the Democratic candidate Hillary was well, she was Dispoiled well Hillary was not the correct candidate. Well, she's okay. She's the one the DNC chose It's exactly right and the primary chose But the point was and that could have been the disaster of the party itself. That's correct And but she was a spoiled candidate Taunt, she was very tarnished.  Nothing compared to what Trump we did but yeah, like like if Donald Trump ran against a Democrat With an with an untarnished we could clean untarnished record yeah a Very well liked and very well respected Democrat Trump would have would have lost Right on by a landslide. Yes Bernie Sanders was ahead of Donald Trump in the double digits in the polls, but see the thing is that Bernie Sanders He had the momentum of the grassroots revolution Once he once he It's not that he lost the nomination because we we knew the DNC was going to nominate Hilary Clinton Primary rigging or not you knew the DNC was not going to nominate the Democratic Socialist No, so that said Bernie Sanders already had his legions and his fans and his following if Bernie Sanders would have Not endorsed Hilary Clinton and went to the Green Party with Jill Stein or or ran as an independent It would have been Bernie Sanders most likely that would have won The election because he had the massive He had a snowball effect. Yeah, he had he had the steam rolling He was a better candidate had the masses behind him because of the people who showed up at his rallies He was on a roll the momentum momentum was Astronomical but once he he broke the hearts of his legions by endorsing Hilary Clinton Then the grassroots revolution Disintegrated so then when Jill Stein tried to pick up the pieces of whatever was left at a grassroots Revolution she didn't have much left to work with no and Jill Stein really got the The the hook I mean she she got no publicity act. No now see Jill Stein dr. Jill Stein is She's a good egg I've listened to her speak she's definitely Qualified and she's definitely highly intelligent, but the problem is is I don't know every time I look I watch one of her live stream rallies. It looked like a throwback to Woodstock It was very hipster It was it was kind of a turnoff and I don't know if people say he's a great guy I don't know her vice presidential pick from Adam. Mr. Baraka Like they cut look this country is not gonna vote for another Baraka I'm telling you right now. He was a little too ethnic and a little too familiar They voted for one in Newark for mayor. Oh, really Baraka. Well, you know Newark votes race Newark votes race just like Harlem votes for Charlie Rangel. Yeah, Charlie Rangel is gone Gone he retired He retired Yeah, he bought a mansion in the Dominican Republic with tax He's really down there on the on the beach like a beach whale with tax money No, but he ran up against I think a lot of Latino man and of course he won because of color You know and forget about all this unity and blah blah kumbaya. It's not gonna happen.  Hey, I've talked to Greeks who think they're they're the best and the and the universe revolves around Greece. I Talked to Italians that feel the same way about them Every you know, everybody says they're the best just like everybody thinks That people from the Bible were were were them were there were them. Hey, I got news for you on Facebook this black girl posted an Image which she claimed is the oldest known Image of Jesus and his disciples and they were all black like it was Photoshop and I asked Michael Gorman who had shared the Banner, I says look here's the website to the museum that supposedly has things called the Cairo or something I gave them that I found the website He says right now.   That was like that was like when I walked one time for some reason. I was in a Black Baptist church in Patterson and all the photos of Jesus. He was all he was black What's his name? George Jefferson's Brother-in-law whatever on on all the family he insisted God was black you know the Vatican all the Renaissance artists Painted everybody in the Bible including Jesus as very light-skinned light-haired blue-eyed Caucasians so everybody thinks their people is not a lot of feminists think God is a sheep Right the feminists.  I was talking to him about that. We were talking about the arrogance of a Tim Tebow Thinking that God was just singling out his team He was playing for Denver Broncos at that time. God just cares about Tim Tebow the quarterback and The Denver Broncos that doesn't care about any of the other teams or anything that's going on in the universe But God wants Tim Tebow and the Broncos to win because Tim Tebow decided to kneel down in the middle of the field in prayer and Subject the whole stadium To his born again evangelicals God would tell him to go into his closet Kneel down. Well, is that kind of fate isn't that bad? And you know, absolutely throwing attention to number one me.   He must draw you You cannot come of your own volition. You are selected. You are selected as Jeremiah and John the Baptist were selected in the womb My all the head that's it all the heavy hitters from the Old Testament were selected They had a job In other words, it's like It's like somebody sitting at home waiting for the phone ring because they're on call They're on call.  Well, I can understand Moses getting fed up Well, Moses Moses had a he couldn't speak. Well, he had a stutter and Aaron had to do most. Yeah, I mean Moses Don't want there don't want that he is realized didn't take him seriously Well, they turn their back on on on the Ten Commandments and and he just got He just probably threw his hands up in the air According to Hollywood he threw the tablets at him and exploded But I don't think that's true because wasn't it the tablets that went inside the Ark in a Covenant? Well, yeah, but that's when it got mannered from heaven to eat in the desert. We wrote them Well, God can do anything he wants to do so Oh, yeah, my new period pyramids made a solid red jasper The walls of new Jerusalem and God's throne is going to be made out of Jasper my friend The Bible said the wall and the throne is Jasper and I read the history of Jasper Jasper is a very special stone and I got it as the great energy generating pyramid And my pyramids are the best brother. All right. Anyway Seven bells for my pyramids. I think it's as seen on the web, too. Anyway, I don't want to digress too much Read the end of revelation, and I'll tell you how many juniors are going to be used There's a whole there's a whole heap and open agenda gold and there's going to be so much light coming from that city That the year you wouldn't need the Sun to illuminate the world No, because God and Jesus here are going to be lit up, baby. They're gonna be lit up, baby It's not going to be no no emaciated spaced-out Pot smoking glassy eyed hips. They're Jesus like Hollywood made them out to be The new Jerusalem will be 1500 miles long wide and tall ancient ancient aliens said on There was no he says most likely knows are contained the DNA of all earthly creatures This is no way you can fit two of every a very animal on The Ark according to the size that was depicted Well, yeah, many can many probably were eggs could have been DNA, you know anywhere eggs anyway Getting back to the old playing game I would say yes Bernie Sanders Jeff Weaver at that time the day after the Democratic Convention convention day after They could have very easily took to all those legions of people and said look we're running as independence We're going we're going by Jill Stein and the Green Party. They could have done that, but they didn't do it So but what Bernie did was he did what Elizabeth Warren and there were all the rest of them did and he endorsed Hillary Clinton thinking for some reason that those legions We're not going to Follow him to the Green Party. I don't know what went through Bernie Sanders mind. I don't know what happened behind closed doors I have no idea. I mean Well Bernie always said that no idea the revolution was not about him It's about the people. Well, it kind of if you don't have the people behind you Ain't not a revolution. Yeah, but the wind behind those sails of the revolution the wind kind of like died down a lot Well, yeah, he had the wind blowing hard up against the sails But as soon as he Not that he lost it the product of the convention I mean the nomination but when he endorsed Hillary Forget it. That took all the wind out of the sails and the people were pissed as hell and Disappointed and heartbroken and they dispersed. I Think some of them just stood home Well, those who wanted real change obviously, you know, a few of them went to start it many of them didn't vote Many of them gave up because they thought, you know Bernie sold out and And then of course Trump says all you former Bernie crats come to pop Come to me. I'll take good care of you I will teach you the fine art of koochee grabbing Yeah Remember with Arnold's actually that wasn't true and Arnold Schwarzenegger is taking the place of Trump He is the new you are fine. Yes, you you are fired and he has said you will see Who is the box and you and ya and you will you will not come back? Trump still has an executive producer Here we go with the conflicts of interest. Yeah, well, this is gonna be a Big problem a Republican said that when he takes the oath He's already technically guilty of not only violating the Constitution, but of a treasonous act He has way too many conflicts of interest And and what's the deal with Trump tower now? He's charging the government rent right now for the for the a secret service to be So they're not there rent-free hell now, but it's not it's not the taxpayers for them millennia malaria millennia Milani and the kids want to stay in Trump Tower. Why should the taxpayers? Be penalized for for that.  You can't like I mean you're supposed to be presidential That's it didn't he know what he was taking on when he ran for president Yeah, but I believe he did not think he was ever going to win Well, it seems like we don't do the stuff he did it seems like if you do Republicans don't think long-term Well, they don't they don't think things through they don't So they're gonna replace a lot of care, but they ain't not not gonna replace it with Yeah, I just want to say that It might not happen on this show But he told me for sure it's gonna start on the next show is we will be having a monologue From one of our team members and and and our number one Facebook group administrator and Our Facebook page believe Editor or moderator the editor. Mr. Sajboil will be doing his Little monologue that will be Will be aired during our break during our lunch break.

It's her birthday. So And I had no idea because Facebook usually lets you know When it's somebody's birthday you had to think he's a little pink icon of a birthday cake. They didn't do that So I kind of like saw people posting happy birthday And I'm like what it's a birthday. I didn't know that So I made up a very attractive birthday banner for her. I Dolled it up.

I Did enough of that for the other pagan holiday Now we officially begin That was our New Year's Eve 2017 show let me see how much time we have After now Not that bad bad on time the king the overall kings of Internet progressive talk radio we pull no punches no horse barred We're totally ad libs. He didn't pull that punch man. No totally ad libs No rehearsed no rehearsal anything can happen anything anything could be said. We're naturally funny and witty And To those that complain that James P. Madonna gets up from his chair too many times there in a show I have an itch in the middle of my forehead So I want to I want to send you this New Year's somebody that told William H. Morrow a snitch Was saying totally Wait, they watched the whole show and what they came away with was no they didn't watch Well, they know you get up.  You haven't got up once I don't get up from my chair too many times. They said it was unprofessional I get up for my chair because I have things to do that are important to the show Yeah, and I also get up for my chair because I feel like it. You have a problem with that. I Need more I have a problem with the person No Bill Morrill knows that we are very progressive and he's very much a right-wing corporatists and Anti-union he said he is not shy about Criticizing what we are about. Okay. Well that covers all of his Statements and and his put he is put down statements.  That's great And and then they try to interrupt you and talk you over talk you all day over talk you when they're And What else that is standard procedure. Yeah, hey look you you can be in an industry and you can have Either co-workers Associates or people that are in the same network doing the same thing that doesn't mean you have to like each other Love each other or outside of the job even get along. There were many Hollywood legends that worked with the head co-workers that they acted with that they hated each other Mm-hmm. I was reading a list of over 30 and that was not all of them You know you can work together and you can be ambassadors to the cause and Not necessarily be friends Outside of the cause, you know, I have my clashes, but you know me I What's the old saying you wear your emotions on your sleeve in other words It's like what Jean Oakland said about Jesse Ventura. You knew what you get You knew what you got with Jesse. He didn't backstab you he he said it right to your face He wasn't a two-phase So I admire that Anyway, why the white working class votes against itself Yeah, you're right just like the poor the po folks in what is it Wolf County, Kentucky? That's what we're talking about Working class so well the column by Catherine Rampel Was spot-on when she noted that Hillary Clinton's policies such as expansion of health insurance subsidies educational aid middle-class tax cuts and minimum wage increases would benefit the class While Donald Trump's policies such as scrapping Obamacare and tax cuts mainly for the wealthy would not Besides apparently not understanding this some also failed to understand that Trump aided by House Speaker Paul Ryan Would attempt to eliminate regulations That among other things had kept our air and water clean Saved us from predatory financial practices and Protected our health and safety on and off the job Ryan's plan could possibly lead to severe restrictions or Reductions in social security Medicare and Medicare they want to steal the money that doesn't belong to them to begin with You got it because Medicare and Social Security are not an I repeat not entitlements Or any form of handout. Yeah, you're paid for right now what the rich and their rich buddies Over in Congress what they get is a handout Massive handout welfare some also gave little thought to the severe danger of having an ill-informed an egomaniac egomaniacs gives me president during foreign and nuclear policy and deciding how to react to crises as Rampel noted their vote was predicated on the same type of lack of understanding that caused a woman in an earlier campaign To plead that the candidate should keep the government away from my Medicare Unfortunately, the ill-informed votes will also affect the health the welfare and security of the rest of us all considerate money stolen and Given the Wall Street Yeah, yeah, but if they can invest it in their schemes your tax dollars are being stolen your Social Security Will be stolen and and you you asked for you voted for you voted for you keep on reelecting these incumbents, you know, I mean And allowing them to steal your tax dollars thing things that you have come into you You know, I don't know Where the Republicans are going to get all these jobs and careers from You know like Ken create told me well Donald Trump wants to bring all the jobs back to the United States And he wants everyone to work Alright, are we gonna see that many jobs? Well to do that you need to go to all of these towns and cities that had working businesses and Factories and yet to start them all up again Or you can say you can say you're gonna bring the job the people back to do jobs or you can do this You can you can give all the tax breaks all the tax breaks to the small businesses only only the Main Street okay, and and and and and stimulate the growth of small businesses on Main Street and make the rich pay their fair share in taxes and Then when the outsource job products come back to you to the United States You tariff them you tariff the hell out of their products. So now people are gonna say wait a minute Wait a minute. I outsource my company to Philippines and I'm giving them only fifty cents an hour but This president this new president. He's tariffing me too much It's cheaper for me to go back to the United States and hire Americans Well, you got a bill that you got to build the factories and the businesses before you can hire anybody Well, they're shipping them out. They're in Mexico. They're in China, you know, yeah, Bernie Sanders Just bring them back. What are you gonna bring them back? You bring them back immigrants from out where they're What would you do that for? They're they're importing H1B Immigrants for different that's that's that we need Because as far as science goes in this country our people know shit Well, some companies must be using Really low-budget programmers to run their Website like Facebook has so many glitches Every day every day glitches glitches glitches So I mean look if you have competent programmers, you're not gonna have all those glitches Come on unless they don't their servers there. They're there at the activity out I'll grew the the service. Maybe the service have to be increased. I heard the American side of the internet is Wants to move their servers to Canada because Trump wants to Start clamping down on the internet censoring Censoring the internet and if they move their servers to Canada Where they have missed a true dough or real progressive Then you know, they can give the Bronx cheer To the US government the Trump will see he's gonna worry about that sort. He's got more Problems facing him than than that. He's gonna get he's gonna get bombarded with problems like a meteor shower, you know He's gonna get like, you know, that's what they're doing now They're behind closed doors trying to To keep his conflicts of interest, but he better listen. He better listen to the world's prominent scientists because you don't want to get to the point of No return with the planet earth Well, we're all I we're all I I think two or three We've already got the tipping points. Yeah, I mean what do you what do you have like now? they predict a until like 2050 or 10-foot rise and sea levels There goes Texas there goes Louisiana Alabama the coast the coastal town Carolina South Carolina, you might as well call Miami the Venice The Venice of the United States.

It's unbelievable Just hit the pause button when we go on break. Don't forget hit the pause button read and learn All right, and we go and break for promo, but there's a lot of educational things That you occasionally will see Yes Rewarding the rich if not tax reform No, hell no Next year when the 115th Congress opens Republicans are proposing to radical calling it tax reform The Republicans promise the ability for the tax code to fit on a postcard Every analysis I have read Conservative liberal and independent Indicates that almost all the benefits of the tax cuts Would go to the very richest Americans According to the non-partisan tax policy center 99.6% Of the proposed tax cuts would go to the wealthiest one About rigs An average annual saving of two hundred and forty thousand Dollars per house I could never for life. We understand how And multi multi billionaire old geezer With possibly one foot on a banana peel and one foot in a grave Would be will still be greedy and never have enough money You never understand it Even these figures I respectfully call on My representative Rodney a P of Freeland, I said Republic Yeah to explain his support for this proposal Yeah, you got paid off Why do the richest people need more money? That's what I said. That's what I say every week That's what I say every week. I ask him to spell out exactly how such enormous tax Scouts for the super wealthy will create jobs. I cannot connect the dock trickle down doesn't work At some time This small number of people with the most money Don't keep spending They stop piling If job growth is the goal More should go to average Americans because they will spend it on goods and services Money will continue to work to grow the economy and create jobs More tax cuts for the richest at the expense of everyone else is not reformed No matter how you mark it We don't need postcard tax returns we need fairer Economically sound tax Yeah, well the money keeps on pulling at the top and doesn't even drip down That's if the jobs are in the United States It's not allowed to work You know And companies are not legally obligated Unfortunately to share their company their company's prosperity CEOs will tell you this they're not obligated to share their company's prosperity With their employees so that that it debunks trickle down economics right there So anyway, how we doing on time one more one more alright Hulk Hogan Terry bullion Could have used his signature leg drop on thieves who sold a Delivery from the front porch of his Florida mansion.

That's www.newslettercensored.com Okay Okay, we're back rest of the discussions New Year's Eve 2016 Said yeah, the year-ending show it's New Year's Eve All right, you dig it. I Was just discussing with the Reverend Dr. William J. Isman about How Whether you call it apathy or just allowing Your elected so-called elected Scoundrel leaders to do whatever they want and run rush shop and just allow things to happen It's like the passiveness of these imbeciles in America the American border Are boarding in really in a rig system because I think since the Industrial Revolution Capitalism has always been rigged and rich It's like a homeowner Who has a big doghouse in his backyard?  I don't watch mainstream media Therefore, I'm not exposed to Corporate America's commercials.   Well, I have to crown myself more than once on this show For three years Eve Right Yeah, so I Mean you keep on shooting yourself in both feet You can't be blaming other factors All right, chief Let us continue With the balance of this holiday show Seven Lucky Bells Why did all of those economically anxious? Trump voters reject policies that would have helped relieve their economic anxiety What I suppose they're just saying I'll shoot yourself in the foot Maybe they believed any big government Expansions would disproportionately go to the wrong kinds of people That is people unlike themselves Hillary Clinton's unexpected loss Particularly in traditionally blue strongholds has led to lots of rumination About what the Democrats must do to reclaim their political territory Smarter marketing smoother organization greater output and Fresher faces are among the most commonly cited But there seems to be Universal agreements At least among the Democratic politicians and strategies That the party's actual ideas are the right ones Democrats they know pushed for expansion of health insurance subsidies For low and middle income emeritus investments in education and retraining middle-class tax cuts And a higher minimum wage These are core standard of living improvement policies They would do far more to help the economically precarious Including and especially white working-class voters Then Donald Trump's top-heavy tax cuts and trade wars ever could Here's the problem These Democratic policies Probably would help the white working class But the white working class doesn't seem to buy that They are the ones who'd really benefit across rural America the rust belt cold country and Other hotbeds of Trumpism Voters have repeatedly expressed frustration That the lazy Unless deserving are getting a bigger chunk of government change. Oh, yeah, they're getting a chunk Getting more like a like a tissue thin sliver in Kentucky Consumers receiving federal subsidies through the Obamacare exchanges Complain that neighbors who are less responsible are receiving nearly free insurance through Medicaid less responsible their they Mature they submitted a fraudulent claim for their For their welfare. I mean if you submit a claim and you're telling the truth Then you're not You're getting it legally They can go to the emergency room for a headache one woman told Vox's Sarah Cliff in Ohio white working-class focus group participants Decried that women who pop out babies like Pesda Spencer's With different baby daddies get welfare every month That reminds me of the old Reagan days when they used to call them the the welfare Queens, right? And their housing paid for and their food Well, I know one I used to work with one Young 20-something black girl who had just one little girl one one little girl and she was She was that she had go she had to live in his Woman's shelter with the kid and they got her rent subsidy section 8 for the for a big beautiful remodel the apartment Big just for one kid and she got it right away You know what I mean, so there is some truth to the baby machines You know, I mean honestly, they should get there should be a mandatory tubal ligation after like maybe two two kids These women seem to live large one participant said While people like herself are struggling To put food on the table. I mean that's cheating though getting welfare through by getting knocked There's no need for that Participants in this focus group Held by what about the man? Where is his responsibility? Well, they chase him down for child support if they get him If they get it how many people never get it and then they got to give them the give the woman the And then the guy the guy the guy pays a percentage based on his income now If he's if he's banging her and getting women pregnant and the guy makes minimum wage What are you gonna get what are you gonna get and then and then she turns around the taxpayers have to foot the bill for the rest Yeah For what having getting pregnant and deciding to have the baby have the baby You don't have to have the baby, you know That is a like a luxury kill that the Bristol Palin That's a luxury. Well, Bristol can afford to take care of them. That's how that's a luxury now That is that is not like a necessity like a roof over the head and food on the table having babies is like Whether or not you can afford a big engagement ring or whether or not you just go for the wedding band Yeah, well, it's something that should be done in main marriage. That's where the best Yeah, but that's what the best ground to you know, you don't you don't have children if you don't have a pot to piss in yeah You just don't do it or you get you get yourself fixed Participants in this focal group Held by the Institute for Family Studies We're skeptical of our efforts to raise the minimum wage Opponents argued either that higher pay Wasn't justified for lower skilled less intense work or That raising the minimum wage Would unfairly narrow the pay gap between diligent folks such as themselves and People who'd made worse life choices. Oh what do they consider higher pay? I hope they don't think $15 an hour is a high pay. They probably think less than that Yeah, that's not high pay. You got to look at the cost of living too.  We're about a landlord that wants $1500 a month for some friggin one bedroom apartment You know what they mean That's the area we live in right now here go after them go after the people who control the cost of living I'm making $13 and 13 cents. That's not that's not a lot.  He's making almost as much as I am And I've never been in trouble with the law and I have a clean record. I can pass a drug test Said one participant Why does one person get almost 200 and food stamps and somebody else who's less fortunate and get the 30 bucks or 16 bucks a month or whatever, you know, that's not fair either in Wisconsin Forget it rural whites are similarly eager to stop the flow of Resources to people who are undeserving. I notice the people in rural America seem to be the most right-wing Zealot they go sell it's Hey Scott Garrett is from the boonies of Sussex County, New Jersey Right, and if you talk to him long enough, you'll know that they have they have this crazy a Bible interpretation that crazy Interpretation of the Bible interpretation Bible interpretation because the Bible does interpret its end Well, they're in doesn't need you to interpret their interpretation is one of pointing fingers At anyone who gets help Yeah, but but if their farm was in trouble They sure as hell would grab a subsidy for their farm and their right-wing neighbors would pray for them Oh, yeah, that's what they do to right wing when you when you need help.  It's like, you know, or you know The homeless will go away if you ignore them, you know the people interviewed for her book Kramer's book Catherine Kramer Often named a white Well, her welfare receiving neighbor or Relative as someone who belonged in that basket of undeservings But also immigrants minorities inner-city elites Who were allegedly siphoning off more government funds than they contributed more broadly a recent you gov Huffington Post survey found that Trump voters are five times more likely to believe that That average Americans have gotten less than they deserve in recent years Then to believe that blacks have gotten less than they deserve African-Americans don't count as average Americans apparently None of this should be particularly surprising We've known for a long time through the work of Martin Gilliams Suzanne Matler and other social scientists that Americans a Generally associate government spending with undeserving non-working non-white people They had to throw that in there. I'm non-white people. Yeah, and B Are really bad at recognizing when they personally benefit from government programs Oh, yeah, they're really living high on the hog people on social services really are and Hey, they don't even want senior citizens to live on a fixed income either hence those oblivious demands to Keep your government hands off my medicare and the tea partiers Who get farm subsidies and the widespread opposition to expanded transfer payments in Word if not indeed Rhetoric this election cycle Character-conturing our government as rigged and anyone who pays into it as a chopper has only reinforced these misconceptions About who benefits from government programs and how much It's no wonder then that Democrats Emphasis on Downwardly redistributive economic policies has been met with suspicion suspicion Even from those who would be on the receiving end of such Distribution that was not this Terry Stafford Terry staffer. Thank you And likewise It's no wonder that Trump's promises To recreate millions of technologically displaced jobs and To punish all those non-self Sufficient moochers seem more enticing No American likes the idea of getting the handout Of the rich pay for it. I have no I have no remorse for for getting a handout especially If they believe that handout is secretly being Routed to their layabout neighbor. Anyway, yeah, you know what Americans are such a Selfish lot They have theirs and they don't care about anyone else And that that's what it comes out to and when they don't have theirs And the other person has it they don't like it cry. Yeah They don't like it Everything is about me me me me me me me hi hi hi hi hi the get way of life. Yeah, not to give way of life Suspicious All right It's one of the most popular government programs a great system Routed in the fact that everyone plays a part Everyone contributes and everyone benefits Without it 22.1 million more Americans would be poor It keeps 345,000 New Jerseyans out of poverty We're talking about one of the most successful Antipoverty programs our country has ever seen We're talking about social security Republican Republicans in Congress have introduced legislation the social security reform act reform huh to reform social security and Expand extend the program solvency gotta lift the cap man This plan operates on the premise That the only way to extend the life of Social securities finances is on the backs of seniors Yeah, they just want they just want to bleed social security dry they want to steal from Republicans It's easy to throw stones at the ideas of others Without offering any alternatives Which why which is why I am proud Democrats have an alternative One that extends the solvency of social security until 2100 While increasing the benefits that seniors receive I Introduced this bill The Social Security 2100 act With my friend Representative John Larson Democrat of Connecticut both the Social Security 2100 act and The Social Security Reform Act Republican Bill Have the same goal To make suppose social security solvent For 75 more years No, I like to see I like I would love to see the Single-payer universal healthcare and watch American health insurance companies go belly up that that's better than sex But the methods used to achieve this grow Represent two very different visions About how the government should keep its promise to seniors and Other Americans who rightfully expect these benefits to be there For them When they retire, I know that too many seniors in New Jersey and Across the country are barely scraping by With social security benefits That are not reflective of their true costs I believe we need to increase seniors benefits not cut them Our plan would immediately provide and across the board Two percent increase for all new and current beneficiary Percent it's not alive. Hell no despite non-existence For anemic cost of living adjustments Over the past few years We know that seniors costs for housing food healthcare And other necessities have been rising So you don't have to be an economist To figure out that the formula we are using to determine the cola Just is not accurate That is why the democratic plan Would tie the cola To a more accurate formula The consumer price index for the elder CPI-E This readjustment To social security is reasonable and affordable Remember this is an insurance plan Not an entitled the Republican plan would raise Social security's full retirement age from 67 to 69 This is a benefit cuts pure and simple According to the Center for Budget and Policy priorities a one-year Increase in the full retirement age is equivalent to Roughly a seven percent cut in monthly benefits For all retirees who are Additionally tying the cola to chain CPI as the Republican plan Would compound would result in lower benefit Increases that would compound over time this approach only makes the current problem of covering seniors True costs even worse On top of this single retirees With retirement incomes above eighty seven five thousand Couples above a hundred seventy thousand would not receive a cola while the Republican plan would provide a modest benefit increase To individuals who had an average annual income of about twenty two thousand everyone else Would see benefit cuts Ranging from seventy percent Forty-three percent by Social security is not seniors and Seniors a lot while the Republican plan relies exclusively on benefit cuts Raising the eligibility age to extend the life of social security the Democrat plan Shores up the program By ensuring that millionaires millionaires Pay their fish air Currently payroll taxes are not collected On wages over a hundred and seventy thousand dollars this proposal would apply the payroll tax to wages Over four hundred with a two percent benefit credit. It would also gradually phase in an increase In the contribution rate The average worker would pay an additional fifty cents per week Every year a monthly cost equal to one median coffee From Dunkin Donuts keep the system so this plan has the backing of Add to the advocacy groups like Social security work and National committee to preserve social security I get frustrated by all the talk in Washington about social security going back And not being around for future generation. This is simply a scare Used by those who want to make negative changes Like those outlined in the plan put forth by the selfish evil agenda By passing the social security 2100 a week and extend the life Social security while protecting seniors Proving their benefits Democrats and Republicans made necessary Reasonable changes to social security in the past Optimized brought the parties together the greater good The common good ill that sprawls you yet Democrats New Jersey here we go again with that why partisanship bring the parties together tight dream. Oh Gosh That's typical establishment Well the right wing have always had This war against the port They're relentless, you notice Have a lot of private meetings being obsessed With we're getting help they seem to be very obsessed with Number one Stealing other countries oil occupying their oil rich land and number two Obsessed with the poor getting help They seem to be two obsessions.   That's it, right? How are we doing that time? That's it do one more if you want There's no one. Okay one more. I Would like to commend the reverend Mignon show in your show. I like to like the show lately as far as the years and the congregation of St. Michael's Church in Palisades Park, New Jersey For offering shelter to the homeless men Who need to be off the street and safe from the cold temperatures? I salute you sir There are many reasons people are homeless But setting judgment aside Father Joe reached out from his faith-based beliefs and Acted in acted in accord with the teachings of Jesus Those teachings tell us that we need to meet the basic needs of people for food clothing shelter and the like and sometimes doing that Puts us at odds with civil rules and regulations. I Hope That burrow officials will work with Father Joe and Not put up obstacles That will be too hard to overcome So that St. Michael's can continue the social action work Not the church He leaves Well, I wanted to dedicate today's Holiday show New Year's Eve show to Father Joe. I'm not trying to rhyme Joe's coincidental Dedicate this show to Father Joe of Richfield Park New Jersey was the church Palisades St. Michael's Palisades Park I'm sorry father Joe of Palisades Park St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church, I guess I guess our St. Michael's Church of Palisades Park, New Jersey I dedicate this show to Father Joe and Let me tell you something if politicians Considering the borough officials if politicians did their job as public servants We wouldn't have homeless people on the streets Freezing to death or freezing period That's all I have to say think about that Thank you for having us taking the time to watch the show, please Get a designated driver or stay overnight if you're going out for New Year's Eve To a restaurant or catering wall There's a nearby hotel stay overnight if you don't have a designated driver Chances are everyone wants to drink so there won't be a designated driver. So Have somebody pick you up Uber or yeah, take a cab take a Uber or stay overnight But don't drink and drive and have a good one, right? Have a safe one, but we're gonna need All the divine help. Hey, we can't for this new year. Believe me.   Yeah, somebody has already because They are in That region they're 12 to 13 hours No, what am I saying five hours?  I am they're 12 that five hours is Europe Asia You know near the coast Japan Philippines Indonesia Asia China along the coast they're 12 to 13 hours ahead of us So they probably already happy new year's to you to everybody sooner or later Bye bye
