So she should consider doing it. actually, what i think she s doing in a certain way is being what i would call being selfores being selfish while appearing to be generous. get my name in the news and get my box office going and make it look like i want to give lots and lots of money when in fact it s really all about me. i ve heard warren buffett argue that and bill gates argue that and bill gates dad, a big proponent of raising the top rate, and i always say what a fair enough rate? if you said the rich aren t paying their fair share and we brought it up to 39.6%, but any of that group doing their taxes with all the add-ones, you know for the health care law, we re well into the mid-40s, and that s not even getting into state and local taxes so when i ask what is a fair rate, well, you know, neil, the top rate used to be over 70, we have a lot further to go, in other words, saying the sky s the limit almost, you know? it s a great question. it s one i think that everybody
This was their desired outcome. an awful lot of the republicans wanted exactly what barack obama, exactly what nanty se poesly wanted, exactly what harry reid wanted, which was to raise the debt ceiling but they wanted to be able to tell what they view as their foolish, gullible constituents back home, they didn t do it. can you explain your votes on the debt ceiling increase. ted cruz in particular is saying that the establishment is thinking that voters back home are gullible. yeah look, my preference is for a debt ceiling to carry additional legislation that does something about the debt. but as you know, joe, the house of representatives couldn t pass anything other than a clean debt ceiling. they couldn t pass anything else. the speaker tried a whole lot of different versions, add-ones to the debt ceiling. couldn t get to 218 no matter what combination. so we were confronted with a clean debt ceiling in the senate
