years. that sounds great. but in october of this past year, the president and his health care secretary did away with the class act which wiped out about $70 billion worth of the projected $143 billion savin savings. you say they knew going in the class act wasn't going to work and that was a gimmick to sell it. >> the budget chairman called the class act a scheme. they included $1100 million in exchanges that chips away at the deficit reduction. the real doozy in terms of that sleight of hand is the fact that they actually said they were going to reduce medicare by $529 billion. they haven't reduced medicare or payments from providers by $208 billion under the sgr, what makes anybody think they're going to do that with the $529 billion. this thing is going to add hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars to our debt and deficit and we can't afford it. >> real quickly, you would know something about that. you were in a small business and you owned one for 31 years.
