Former Secretary Of State Condoleezza Rice: 'I Hate To Admit It, But Donald Trump Is

Doing A…

President Trump may not sound quite the same as other US presidents, yet he trusts in American

principles and values and he is trying to act to the greatest advantage of the United

States, previous Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stated to CNBC recently.

"I believe every president of the United States stands for our values," stated Rice,

who was secretary of State and national security counselor amid the administration of George

W. Bush.

"You heard President Trump say, for instance, right after the Syrian chemical attack, we

can't let that stand.

What he was saying was the president of the United States can't let that stand."While

the language may be different, and we might talk about needing to deal with policy, I

think you're going to see … that Americans' interests in values are always linked,"

Rice stated.

"It's early days in this administration.

Let's remember that."

She admitted that President Trump is in a tricky situation regarding the relations with

Russia.

She thinks that friendly relations with Russia are possible, but also said that "any interference

in our election has to be investigated — and not just investigated to see what happened

but to see how it doesn't happen again."

She added: "I hate to admit it, but President Trump is doing a great job so far.

Taking all circumstances into consideration he has been highly successful."

"Let's hope that every internal question will be solved quickly because that needs

to be done before he starts solving the external questions, and by those I primarily think

about North Korea and Russia."

"In the meantime, we need to go about the business of governing because that's really

what the American people want," she concluded.

United States Economy vs German Economy - Duration: 5:30.

Some of our viewers may have grown up with the idea that Europe is filled with nothing

more than unorganised countries that are run by corrupt and incompetent socialists.

While it may be true in some cases, Europe's economic powerhouse Germany, is now the fourth

strongest economy in the world, only a few places behind top ranked USA.

Today we're going to compare the two, in this episode of the Infographics Show, US

Economy vs German Economy.

In 2016, The United States had a share of around a quarter of the gross world product

at $18 trillion, while Germany had a take in 4.4% at $3.4 trillion.

To put things into perspective, The US overshadows Germany in terms of size and population with

around 325 million people and a land area of 3.5 million square miles (3,531,837 square

miles) compared to Germany's population of 82 million and land area of 135 thousand

sq miles (134,580 square miles).

The USA has a labor force of 158.6 million while Germany has 45.3 million.

The cost of living in Germany is around 11% cheaper overall than in the USA which is comparable

to the salary difference.

The disposable net-adjusted income per capita for the average household in Germany is $31,925

a year, while it's $41,071 for Americans.

Both countries have a considerable gap between rich and poor, with Germany's top 20% of

people earning over four times that of the bottom 20%.

American's top 20% earn a staggering 8 times what the bottom 20% do.

As of January 2017, the minimum wage in Germany nationwide is $9.79 (8.84 euros), while the

minimum wage in the USA ranges depending on each state and whether the job is one that

earns tips.

Germany has a reputable export market which shipped goods to a value of $1.33 trillion

dollars in 2016.

70.5% of that was made up of their Top 10 export products – (1) vehicles, (2) machinery

including computers, (3) electrical machinery and equipment, (4) pharmaceuticals, (5) medical

products, (6) plastics, (7) aircrafts and spacecraft, (8) iron and steel products, (9)

mineral fuels and (10) organic chemicals.

The fastest growing category for the Germans is vehicle exports, with aircraft and spacecraft

not far behind.

In the same year, America exported only slightly more than the Germans, with $1.454 trillion

dollars of goods shipped, equating to only around 7.8% of the economic output.

The US Top 10 exports in 2016 were (1) machinery including computers, (2) electrical machinery

and equipment, (3) aircrafts and spacecraft, (4) vehicles, (5) mineral fuels, (6) medical

products, (7) plastics, (8) Gems and precious metals, (9) pharmaceuticals, and (10) organic

chemicals.

According to Professor Bernd Venohr of Berlin's School of Economics, "America concentrates

on the mass market and quantity, but Germany is king of niche markets."

Germany has a strong manufacturing sector which makes up around one quarter of its economy

while the US sector is only twelve percent.

Germany's success relies on two important advantages.

The first is that they have a manufacturing commitment with support for training and offers

technical apprenticeships and vocational training, along with sponsored school programmes.

They also give company penalties for getting rid of workers.

The second is that they have a lower corporate income tax rate which benefits investors and

companies, who can reinvest and raise capital more easily.

While President Trump has criticized Germany for its unwillingness to spend more on defence

and endless trade surpluses, back in the Obama days, government policy makers were seeking

guidance from Germany to help them in doubling the nation's export growth, which was a

promise from the then President.

A large part of Germany's export and manufacturing success is due to its large number of small

and medium size enterprises or SMEs which have less than 500 workers and annual sales

of under 50 million Euro.

99% of companies are SMEs and employ around two thirds of workers in the country while

in the USA, even though the percentage of SMEs is the same, they only employ around

50% of the population.

German workers have access to affordable and quality healthcare, while many US SME workers

probably don't, and if they do it will be of low quality.

The decisions and policies of a government highly affects the economy and quality of

life for its people.

Germany shows higher government effectiveness than the USA with its integrity in policymaking

processes and government institutions, with accountability for its politicians and less

corruption.

The young adult population of Germany has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the

world and enjoy good morale in their workplaces with a high quality of life so the fact that

the German economy has been on a fast growth rate compared to the US is believable.

You could, however, wonder what manipulation has been done to US GDP and employment statistics

due to the poor corruption rating given by The World Bank, The World Economic Forum and

Transparency International.

It would be safe to say that the US has a lot to learn from the Germans in terms of

their government and economic policies and in fact Americans could be much richer if

the US Government did not, overspend on healthcare and pharmaceutical drugs, Spend $3-4 trillion

on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, Give fossil fuel companies annual tax breaks of billions

of dollars, and Ruin electrical engine designs in the past which would have done away with

the Middle Eastern oil dependence.

So what does the future hold for these two powerful economies?

While America dominates the global economy, it might not for much longer.

With only a 1.6% growth rate in 2016, it was far behind China's 6.7% growth, who sit

in second place behind the US in the top economy ratings.

Germany's quality of life has never been this high and the economy has almost fully recovered

since the last crisis.

But, although strong by European standards, their economy could see some challenges in

the next few years due to the refugee crisis and the implementation of Brexit.

So, which country do you think has more potential growth in the future?

Could Germany improve its ranking over the next few years?

Hepatitis A outbreak continues in multiple states; more Detroit restaurant patrons warned - Duration: 7:59.

Hepatitis A outbreak continues in multiple states; more Detroit restaurant patrons warned.

Confirmed cases of hepatitis A continue to increase this week in a multi-state outbreak,

prompting California officials to extend an emergency declaration while Michigan officials

are urging restaurant workers and customers to seek vaccinations.

Employees at two more restaurants in Michigan have been found to have worked while infected

with the highly contagious virus.

Post-exposure treatment — which must be given within two weeks of exposure to the

virus — can still be administered to people who consumed food or beverages at the two

pizza restaurants in November.

The Detroit Health Department is investigating a case at Paul's Pizza on West Vernor and

urges vaccinations by Friday for anyone who dined at the restaurant between Nov. 20 and

Nov. 25.

The Oakland County (MI) Health Division has confirmed a case at Papa Romano's pizzeria

on Nine Mile at Telegraph Road and is urging vaccinations by Sunday for anyone who dined

there between Nov. 22 and Nov. 26.

As of the most recent update on Nov. 29, public health officials in Michigan had confirmed

555 cases of hepatitis A in the ongoing outbreak, with 140 cases in Detroit.

Oakland County has 82 reported cases.

Statewide, 20 outbreak victims have died.

More than 80 percent of the Michigan victims have required hospitalization.

Michigan officials have mounted a campaign to encourage all foodservice workers in the

state to get the hepatitis A vaccine.

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development sent a letter to all licensed

foodservice facilities reminding operators of the effects of hepatitis A, how it is transmitted

and how it can be prevented.

People with health insurance coverage are urged to seek vaccinations through their doctors

or pharmacies.

For others, state health department will be providing immunization to all foodservice

workers who have not previously been vaccinated for hepatitis A.

The free clinics are scheduled for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30 a.m.

to 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. to – 4:30 p.m.

On Wednesday the clinics are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 6:30

p.m.

The clinics will be on a walk-in basis through December 15.

California county opts for caution.

San Diego County officials this week extended the emergency status they imposed Sept. 1

related to the outbreak there, citing the situation in Michigan as part of their rationale.

"We don't want a resurgence like they're having in Detroit, so we need to continue

this emergency," County Board Chairwoman Dianne Jacob said during the board's Tuesday

meeting.

The vote to extend the emergency status was unanimous.

As of Tuesday, San Diego County reported 567 confirmed cases, with 20 deaths.

About 100 cases have been confirmed elsewhere in the state, with one death in Santa Cruz,

according to the California Department of Public Health.

In California and Michigan the majority of confirmed hepatitis A cases have been among

homeless people and substance abusers.

However, from 25 percent to 34 percent of victims in those states are neither homeless

nor substance abusers.

Public health nurses and others have administered more than 109,000 vaccinations in California.

Other state updates.

Utah is third behind California and Michigan in terms of confirmed cases, with the most

recent update from the Utah Department of Health reporting 87 people confirmed infected

by the outbreak strain of hepatitis A. State officials said Utah usually has three or four

confirmed cases per year.

In Colorado, the confirmed case count stood at 62 people as of Dec. 1.

Neither Utah nor Colorado have any confirmed deaths in the outbreak.

Nevada, Arizona and Kentucky have also reported people infected with the outbreak strain.

In Kentucky, public school students of all ages will be required to have hepatitis A

vaccinations before the beginning of the 2018-19 school year.

The Kentucky legislature approved the immunization requirement in June, well before the state's

health officials declared outbreak status in recent days.

Vaccine shortage.

The outbreak and subsequent vaccination efforts have resulted in what federal officials describe

as "supply constraints for hepatitis A vaccine" nationwide.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the supply problems in mid-October

and has not substantially updated the information since then.

"Currently, the supply constraints for adult Hepatitis A vaccine in the United States are

nationwide, meaning that all providers are likely affected," a CDC spokesman told Food

Safety News Tuesday.

"While CDC and state/local public health officials are targeting vaccine to manage

outbreaks and carry on routine vaccination, current supply is not sufficient to support

the full level of demand for vaccine."

According to the CDC's vaccine supply website, the shortage is being addressed with the following

actions: • CDC staff are working directly with public

health officials to provide guidance about how best to target vaccine distribution.

• CDC is working with the manufacturers of adult Hepatitis A vaccines to monitor and

manage public and private vaccine orders to make the best use supplies of adult Hepatitis

A vaccine during this period of unexpected increased demand.

• In addition, manufacturers are exploring options to increase domestic adult Hepatitis

A vaccine supply.

One manufacturer has made additional doses of adult Hepatitis A vaccine available on

the CDC vaccine purchase contracts to help in the management of ongoing outbreaks in

several U.S. cities and states.

This additional vaccine also provides for a public sector reserve for future outbreaks

during this time of constrained supply.

Advice to the public.

Other than vaccination, the best way to keep from contracting hepatitis A infection is

to wash your hands using warm water and soap, to handle uncooked food appropriately and

to fully cook food, according to public health officials at all levels.

People should always wash their hands before touching or eating food, after using the toilet

and after changing diapers.

When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers should

be used.

The virus is found in the stool of people infected with hepatitis A and is usually spread

from person to person by putting something in the mouth, even though it might look clean,

that has been contaminated with the stool of a person infected with hepatitis A.

Anyone with symptoms of hepatitis A should seek medical attention.

Anyone who has had close contact with someone infected with the virus should also seek medical

attention to determine if they should receive the post-exposure vaccine.

Signs and symptoms of hepatitis A include yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark-colored

urine, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea and fever.

It can take up to 50 days after exposure for symptoms to develop.

Not everyone with the acute hepatitis A virus infection will develop symptoms, however,

if symptoms do develop, they may include fever, jaundice or yellowing of the skin, vomiting,

fatigue, and grey-colored stools.

People with symptoms should seek medical care for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
