And expertise is jim walsh. Jim, first and foremost, look, it may very well be someone elses drone. Ill get to that in a moment. But when we say we only patrol in International Air space, do we really only patrol in International Air space . Well, the first thing to know about that ashleigh, is International Air space is highly contested. Different countries draw the maps in different ways. And so you can be in a spot in the air where one country claims its in International Air space and another country claims its in their national air space. Its sort of a fudge word, and weve had this before. This is not the first time weve had this dispute. Weve had drone incidents now with iran on this makes the third different occasion, and in every case there are claims by both sides, and its rather tough to resolve. Just about every aspect of this is classified, so how much faith should i put in this claim by our navy that weve got all our drones, its not ours . Yeah, you know, that seems like a
Size doom if it a deal isnt cut by years owned. But washington, both side have dug in their heels, and the answer may be that suddenly the sliding down the fiscal slope does not seem that bad. Maybe thats why the republicans leaders like speaker of the house john boehner were able to put off making a counter proposal to the president s offer until today. Crossing the red line on the talks by rejecting the demind that the republicans accept a hike in the marginal tax rate for those with income over a quarter Million Dollars a year. My view . Obviously i agree with the white house on the substance and as i have said before, their hand gets stronger over time. But sometimes a new idea can change the dynamic. Here is an idea that has been around for a long time, supported by james tobin way back and pushed by ralph nadar in a Washington Post oped this weekend. Impose a tax on financial transactions. It will give us up to 100 billion a year, fail on a sector that has generateed enormous unw

Outfront tonight, a bright idea. Brought to us by the liberal former governor of vermont, howard dean. A man who brought us the scream heard around the world when reran for president. Dean says lets face it, america, tacks need to go up for everyone. Now, this might not be what you expect from someone like howard dean. Its certainly not the president s position or the position of most americans. Another new poll out today shows that most people like the president s idea of only raising taxes on other people. Specifically, the top 2 . The problem is according to the Congressional Research service, the math doesnt add up. That tax hike would only give 678 billion in additional revenue over ten years, now, remember, were 16 trillion in the debt. Now, if we go with howard deans idea, that gets us 2. 8 trillion or about 17 of our debt. Adam davidson is the cofounder of planet money and he did the math. He wrote in the New York Times a while ago, a set of numbers that has stuck with me ever
