doesn t matter who gets blamed. if the president if the particular resonates with anyone it s the working american. the border security, the tsa can t afford to go another day or two or week or two without a paycheck. shutdown has got to be off the table. steve: listen, the president is a realist. he knows the democrats are not going to give him one more dollar. we have been telling you this all along. he will probably take this deal and like kevin corke said move some money around. roy blunt of missouri says there is a military program that has $880 million specifically to build roads and fences to block drug smuggling it was custom made for something like this. so, stay tuned. the president as we have been saying probably has, knowing donald trump has a some sort of a something, a surprise. will. ainsley: senator shelby says he can build the way he
million roughly a year. i think democrats and republicans who want to save money, who want to be more fiscally responsible, i think we can work together to find those solutions. but i will be clear, i will use the tools of the office of the governor to help to compel the legislature to do the right thing by the people of our state. how are you going to pay for some of these programs? let me ask it this way. do you think the state of florida needs an income tax? no. what i largely because i think everyday people pay their fair share. so you would never propose a state income tax. i would not propose a state income tax. i am proposing that corporations do pay their fair share. the corporate rate is less than that of alabama and georgia, our neighboring states. we have for too long believed the way the state of florida grows a vibrant economy is by being a cheap date. being a cheap date has not worked for us. we have 44% of the people in this state say that they cannot make ends
enough to continue to help you. that s what we re trying to do is fix this system. you re currently getting your health insurance through medicaid. nothing s going to change. are you actually saying that 880 billion dollars in cuts according to the cbo, however you want to talk about that not being a cut, that that s actually not going to result in millions of americans not getting medicaid? absolutely not. so you don t think anyone s going to be hurt when you re taking $880 billion out of the system? no. no, i don t because i think the micromanagement of medicaid by the federal government the medicaid sm isnystem isn t work. let s be clear, cutting medicaid by 25%, $880 million will definitely have an effect on the people who rely on it.

perhaps the most remarkable example how they are taking money from less well off people and giving it to more well off people. $880 million in medicaid cuts, another $675 million to end aca subsidies. they are giving back about $542 million through their own tax credits. but the btom line is a netcut of $1.1 trillion in health care assistance for people of lower incomes and for the poor. against that they are cutting taxes by $785 billion, the vast preponderance of that go to people making over $250,000 and to businesses, all of it really going to those groups. that s how they got the reduction in the deficit. essentially cutting what you re giving to the less well off people, giving a good bit of it back to rich people and a little bit of deficit reduction. steve, thank you. mark halperin, the cbo is
