of the doubt for a second. i am sure in his mind got a briefing about all the executive actions and all the deregulation orders he filled out. he put his signature to paper perhaps more often than others. we don t have the ability to track all of that through history, but what he said was totally untrue. he has not signed more legislation into law than his predecessors. there he is once again, the president of the united states is out there speaking a demon strabl untruth. there was a busy december, but he wants to make clear that he achieved a lot. and he is the master of marketing and branding and to say he was the biggest real estate developer in new york. that was not true. one of his close friends is even a bigger real estate developer than him. he knew that and he was bragging he was a bigger discipliner than a close friend.
point sounds good until you have to pay for those cuts at the polls in your own district. this got sumd up really well in an interview with pete alexander and the budget man. listen to this. we can t spend money on programs because they sound good. a program called the shine, rural counsel of pennsylvania that provides after school educational programs for individuals in those areas which just so happens to be the state that helped propel president trump to the white house. they tell me today that 800 individuals, no longer, children that need it most will no longer be provided the educational care they need. let s talk about after school programs generally. there s supposed to be educational programs and they re supposed to help kids that don t get fed at home get fed so they do better in school. there s no demon strabl evidence they re doing that.
are in trouble on this. maybe it s not a good issue for either one. i don t know what they said about obama but i will say with mitt romney i don t know what monica would say to the fact that he gave away free cars and auto insurance to people on welfare. that to me is not somebody strong on welfare. all obama is trying to do is say look, california, ohio, whatever state you want to pick, if you have a better way to put people back to work that is demon strabl, you hav demonstrable, you have to prove it. we will allow you flexibility to do that. i think both campaigns your engaging this issue. in that obama memo coming from hss they actually used a new, brand-new legal argument that apparently they pulled out of thin air that would actually gut the work requirement. so you have to look at this from all sides here. the other point about this is
social security? ron susekin said that president obama wanted to break up citibank during the financial at that time catastrophe. he said he was thwarted from people in his administration. that is interesting in terms of the dynamics of of the administration but as the administration tries to catch the tiger by the tail as people angry in the occupy wall street movement, trying to identify with that, are there hard line stances that wouldn t be demon strabl about their intentions but would make a difference in terms of aligning american and wall street interests more closely in the future? absolutely there are things they can do. for example, the attorney general of new york t eric schneiderman wants a relatively tough, expansive settlement with the banks that will fundamentally address the issues of negative equity the losses people have on their homes relative to the size of the mortgages. as that stands $700 billion.
government option any way. in any event do you actually think that there was a calculated plan at the white house by the administration to say we are not going to get that politically but if we set it up in this way insurers are going to fold and therefore people will be left with no other option but to rely on the government? from the very beginning they ve seen the insurance industry as the boogie man in the corner as an evil force doing evil to the american people. clearly there have been abuses in the insurance industry, but to castigate one industry and subject one industry, not the pharmaceutical industry, which supported obamacare but the insurance industry and say to them, you re the cause of our problems in this country, there is an obamacare no demon strabl way that they have to reduce costs orin crease quality. megyn: maybe they shouldn t have got even behind the bill, because they did and the the insurance companies did. what we have is a man in charge of medicare and m
