0 philosophical differences. at the end of the day, they are all primarily looking for way to make money. you don't make money by shrinking government. you make money by growing government. >> sean: you made some comparisons. one in six americans in poverty. one in four americans their mortgages are under water. meaning they can't even get their way out of their house without losing. >> it's the great unreported story of our time right now. because, you have got -- this is extraction. the rest of the country is in a financial economic crisis. much of the country is almost in a depression. and, yet, you have washington with the three richest counties bordering it big number, per capita income is now higher than silicone valley. the great technology engine in the united states. >> sean: amazing. >> fourth biggest city generating millionaires. fourth fastest. >> if you look at every statistic about people and incomes, washington, d.c. and the reason is is because you have a massive federal budget that gets allocated through there it goes deeper, steve. it's like a pyramid scheme. baseline budgeting, every budget, every area of government goes up 6, 7, 8% a year. even though still borrowing nearly 50 cents of every dollar they spend. >> that's right. sean, what's interesting is not only the allocation of federal dollars but there is a lot of money that comes into washington, d.c. to determine how that money is going to be allocated. so you have got taxpayer money. you have got special interest putting money in washington, d.c. to influence the process. to it steer money in their way it is a town awash awash with cash. sad reality is it's only going to get worse not better. >> sean: one of the arguments i have made the president has successfully made the class warfare arguments that he has. it's interesting. it seems that the politicians are the ones that are greedy. selfish, power hungry. they built up their power by granting people government programs. spending other people's money. how come they have never got tagged as being greedy and selfish i think no one has ever turned the camera on them. we are going to look at this. this is a bipartisan problem not just beat on democrats. this is a now formed aristocracies. that's why nothing changes in washington that's why you have budget debates. talking about growth rates in never cut it. reason never extracted money through taxes in addition, there is no pressure on them to really cut. they really control wall street. it's not that money controls washington. washington controls the money. they have industrial logic to this business model just like any other business model. that is to extract power from the rest of the country into money into centralized location which is washington. >> you mentioned in your piece, peter about maserati and fine wines and exclusive restaurants and home prices, et cetera, are these government employees that buy the maseratis? >> it's probably not government employees. it's people that influence government policies. so it's people like lobbiyists. people who ho run contracting firms. only business or customers is the federal government. it's money that gets sloshed around in all those different ways. the reality is that, you know, i lived in washington, d.c. in the 1980s, it was really kind of a middle class town with some wealthy areas. it's a completely different place now. and part of it is the size of the federal budget has grown enormously. and, of course, they take the cut of everything that comes out. >> sean: what are they producing? you are right. we talked about an oil boom. a gold rush. cattle, et cetera, and all these other -- they have produced something. what is washington producing except record debts, record deficits and telling old people we are going to means test social security and raise retirement age one hour before you die. get an hour's word of what you paid into your whole life. >> they have a business model. it's government. and it's bigger government. as long as you have the ability to borrow. as long as they can take tax receipts and borrow they will continue to do that. that's why you are seeing now. we are trying to put the camera on this business model. let you see the lifestyles of the rich and powerful. >> sean: a lot more to get to tonight. stay right there. the ballooning federal budget has doubled in the past 10 years. be astounded where that money is actually coming from and where it's going. that and much more on this special edition of hannity. ♪ [ male announcer ] don't just reject convention. drown it out. introducing e all-new 2013 lexus ls f sport. an entirely new pursuit.
