they hate the rich. sean: let me show you. i wish i had more time. he tore him up, but very a couple moments one is that republican retreat in baltimore and the other is when he took on tax chief tim geithner. i want you to see these. these are incredible moments of someone well informed and knows budget numbers better than anyone else in washington and has no problem using them when around democrats. this bill you signed into law, domestic spending has been increased by 84%. you ve said you want to take a scalpel to the budget. we want to give you that scalpel. we re not claiming that solves all problems facing the country but does meet the critical test of restoring our deficits to a more sustainable position for next so years. here is the point. leaders are supposed to fix problems. we have a $99.4 trillion
we have a $99.4 trillion unfunded liability. our government is making promises to americans that it has no way of accounting for them. so you are saying, we re stabilizing but not fixing it in the long run, we re going to keep lying to people. sean: here is my take. when we saw the effort to remove scottal wk they are wisconsin, it was telling to me that the people of wisconsin understand the times that we are living in. understand the dangers of deficit spending. it seems to me that with what ryan has been arguing, what mitt romney positioning they are banking on the fact that the american people understand the danger of us becoming a bankrupt society. is that fundamentally does this campaign come down to that? yes, i mean the other thing a voucher program does it harms the democrats true constituency which is government workers.
here is the point. leaders are supposed to fix problems. we have a $99.4 trillion unfunded liability. our government is making promises to americans that it has no way of accounting for them. and so you re saying, yeah we re stabilizing it but we re not fixing it in the long run we re going to keep lying to people and keep all these empty promises going. megyn: some hollywood types are starting to react to the ryan-romney ticket. russell similar ons saying the two will, quote destroy our people. later in the show we ll talk about what he means by that, and what other notable folks are saying about congressman paul ryan entering this race. new developments today in the congressional investigation into the botched ft and furious gun running operation. the house oversight committee is planning to file a contempt of congress lawsuit against the attorney general eric holder. the committee expected to ask a
good or bad? what kind of pick is this? good or bad. you know what? i think there are some good things here. at least for conversation i would liked it to it be a little bit more exciting and a little bit out of the box. take a look at tim geithner and paul ryan arguing over the budget. see what kind of candidate he is. we re not claiming this solves all the problems facing the country, but it does meet the critical essential tests. which is? of restoring our deficits it a more sustainable position for the next 10 years. here s the point. leaders are supposed to fix problems. we have a 99.4 trillion-dollar liability. our government is making promises to americans that it has no way of accounting for them. you are staying yeah we are stabilizing it but not fixing it in the long run that means we are going to keep lying to people. answer out the door. small business owners like what he just said. absolutely. i love the fact and i always
i heard that was, when you said we re lying to people. explain that. our government is right now, according to the general accountability office making $99.4 trillion in promises to today s americans that it has no way of paying for. we re making $37 trillion in promises to people for just medicare alone that we have no way of paying for. what is happening in europe is a bunch of governments and politicians from all political parties who made all the empty promises to voters that they have no way of paying for those promises. so the point i m trying to make, bill, we need to be straight with the country about our real physical problems. tell people the honest situation and come up with solutions to make sure the empty promises are replaced with programs that provide real security that people can actually count on and we re not doing that we re sweeping it under the rug. bill: the budget numbers will blow your mind.
