Concern. In setting bargaining chip . If this is costing you more votes than it is getting you, would you take the individual mandate out . Let me say this is about getting it passed in the senate. That is the objective. This is not a bargaining chip. It is an unfair tax on poor people. To think you would put a penalty on people who cannot afford to buy medical policy is just fundamentally unfair. That is what this is all about. But it does have a political impact. Theas been added into original proposal. Could you live with it if it is taken out . I think right now our objective is to keep it in. It provides a big tax cut for the middle class. It takes up the tunnel team. But we will work with the senate as we go through this. It is a very big deal, we got it done. We got it out of the finance committee. Were going to get something to the president to sign this year. If we can repeal part of obamacare and still have a good textile, that is great. I think it is up to the senate and the house to hammer out this detail. Analyzing the senate textile, they found they think it would effectively raise taxes for lower income americans. Heres one of the quotes. The projected increased him some the bills repeal of the Affordable Care act. Some people might argue eliminating obamacare subsidies is not the same thing as increasing taxes but whatever you want to call it, lower income people have less money. The big question is, how can the republicans in the white house have a bill that says it will ffectively the bottom line is the president will not sign a bill that raises taxes. What you just read, you get deep in the weeds of scoring this particular tax bill. One of the fundamental assumptions of what you just the is that getting rid of mandate means fewer people are covered. Think of that for a second. It makes absolutely no sense. If they do not when it they do not have to have it. And changing the mandate, for example, most of us were covered the individual mandate would have no impact. Scoring is very difficult. To get out what is really going to happen in this complex economy of ours. The bottom line is, if we really believe that whatever comes out of the House Senate Conference committee is going to raise taxes, the president will not sign it. They just told cnn he was open to taking it out. Is that the White House Division question mark crimes the white house is very comfortable with the house bill because the house bill focuses on the party. ]e will find it [indiscernible we believe the individual mandate is a tax. It is harming middle income families must. We like that it is not included in this bill. What about the concern that the tax is permanent if the individual tax cuts are temporary. Is that fair . It is a good question, george. The reality is that many of the arcane rules make it difficult to make both permanent. What you saw, many criticisms plan 1516 first tax years ago that said the tax plan would not be permanent. Those below 30000 and income, those cuts were permanent. Were hoping it will be permanent. Wont that means there be concerns on the other side. George, as you said before, you know for all of those preaching concern about the deficit. We created the country from George Washington to president obama, president obama double the debt. Now people are preaching concern about the debt, the reality is if we do not grow our economy we will never pay for the things we need to do such as rebuild our military. Afford never be able to what we need to do to make our borders secure and america secure. As cspans washington journal. Live everyday with music and issues that impact you.
