government takeover of the healthcare system. i think it s not fair to draw a distinction between the two. by 20203. $710 billion for the nationwide expansion. that is a lot of money though governor. again, i site all your past work on first call matters and such a fiscal conservative. i understand what you are saying and everyone wants compassion for the poor. i get that but, we also have a real budget problem. yeah. it s not even, first of all, when i was chairman of the budget committee, when i left washington, we had surpluses and a balanced budget. you bet. i know about how to run a budget, laura. i was the one that spent 10 years of my life to get us there. but, again, this is about our money. washington doesn t have any money. i want our money back and let me also tell you, if you do not give these people help, they are in our prisons. you know what cost to have an inmate in the prison and particularly think about
yeah. how do you see both sides of the aisle trying to negotiate on a farm bill considering such a huge $35 billion gap between how much the house and senate want to cut from the food stamp program? one of the questions that has to be answered here in the budget is whether whether or not we re going to have additional revenue. the republicans keep insisting there can be no revenue. now, if they do that, that means the s.n.a.p. program will be cut but it also means health research will be cut and the sequester will continue. and it s going to be very hard to get a resolution of the budget problem if you re unwilling to close some loopholes and get some additional money. this simply are some things that we are now cutting which will have long-term effects that as a society we can t stop investing in like food for kids and health research. all right. i want to switch gears and address the obama care debate, sir. i spoke with republican congressman tom cole a few
president has been trying to lead. and right now people are focused on the fact that republicans have had a vote on affordable care bill 40 times that are trying to block this bill. people have to come together. republicans and democrats. and work together. and i will tell you there s a difference right now. i ve been out there. they re tired. they re tired of crisis. crisis management. they re tired of people just blocking it. they want to see people start to solve the problems. we have a budget problem in this country. we need republicans and democrats to come to the table and say, okay, what can we eliminate? how do we reduce cost? the crisis and throwing us into crisis and increasing our costs, getting credit ratings impacted, stock market going gown is not t down is not the answer to this. brad? the president can lead us out of this crisis by saying he will negotiate in good faith. a president that last saturday was out on the golf course on the eve of a shutdown when the se
is. if you promise me the super committee you have the bigger budget problem that can lance the boil of this shut down. let s get something out of it. i m going to disrupt our shut down talk for health care talk. the latest explainer we have in the health care law and later, what wendy davis is now in the texas governor s race. can she avoid being a one-issue candidate and give herself an actual chance to win? president obama canceled his travel plans. is it image or economics? you are watching the daily rundown only on msnbc. but bounty basic can handle them. in this lab demo one select-a-size sheet of bounty basic is 50% stronger than one full sheet of the leading bargain brand. bring it. bounty basic.
in a recent article in the new republic your budget would eviscerate departments of energy, state, commerce, fda, education and many others. would you say that americans support that? paul s answer was people want to say it s extreme. extreme is a trillion dollar deficit every year. that s an extremely bad situation. you know this better than me. we don t have a trillion dollar deficit this year. in fact cbo estimated that we have a $640 billion deficit, which is considerably less. the deficit is somewhat taking care of itself because the economy is getting stronger. tax receipts are going back up. government has gotten a lot of money back from fannie and freddie. the trends are pretty good there. the long-term budget problem is not going to be solved by getting rid of things like the department of commerce and the department of education. in the long-term if you re not talking about health care costs, you re not really tackling the
