take a look at how things get started. what s up with not calling me back? i m not good at this stuff. at what, talking? yeah, talking, communicating, relationship stuff. it s just this is if we were in a relationship, i d be become a weird, scary version of myself. and my throat starts constricting, it s like a peanut allergy, like an emotional peanut allergy. i went to this not really thinking i was going to like it. ended up, thought it was funny and different. i gave it 3 1/2 stars out of five. not bad at all. a little cheesy in parts and you can guess the ending. very funny in a lot of parts. i enjoyed it. a little different. i came in with the low bar, that always helps. i saw the company men, is it depressing? yes. is it good? yes. it s totally worth seeing. the movie is about three men trying to survive a round of corporate downsizing, all this playing out in the midst of their company s stock soaring in profitability.
republican representatives having started in january, hard to imagine any political dynamic that has the republicans in the house moving these numbers up, or making raising these marginal tax rates. so i think we re talking about something that will last at least probably a decade. if we do that, the basically, the amount we add to the deficit now with these other add-ones is over the next decade is more than $4 trillion. senator, that is more than $4 trillion. and remember, put this in context. last week, all of the hubbub about the simpson bowls thing that took on social security, took on medicare, ended up, you know, closing a lot of tax exclusions. in total, that only reduced the deficit $4 trillion. so, you know, the idea that these are going to be locked in stone with all of the other things that are kind of hard to get at, will mean that at one point soon, whether it s the next couple years or five years from now, the bond market and others are going to say, they re
is more than $4 trillion. senator, that is more than $4 trillion. and remember, put this in context. last week, all of the hubbub about the simpson bowls thing that took on social security, took on medicare, ended up, you know, closing a lot of tax exclusions. in total, that only reduced the deficit $4 trillion. so, you know, the idea that these are going to be locked in stone with all of the other things that are kind of hard to get at, will mean that at one point soon, whether it s the next couple years or five years from now, the bond market and others are going to say, they re not going to buy our debt anymore, and we re going to have the same kind of crisis that greece and ireland and potentially other countries in europe has had. and is if we don t step up, and do our part on that, we all ought to be fired. i couldn t agree more with that. senator mark warner, thanks so much for being with us. coming up in the arena, not just the democrats balking, some republicans don
barack obama s old senate seat, they re trying to say, whoes the most electable democrat who could beat the probable republican candidate, mark kirk, in the fall. we have ties to rezko, what we heard during the 2008 presidential campaign. sheryl jackson was a spokesperson for rod blagojevich, which probably isn t great. and the other candidate in the race, david hoffman doesn t have high name i.d. in the governor s race, which may be the best contest, even better than what s going on in the senate, you ended up having a press conference where pat quinn was joined by bobby rush, along racially lines, charges that dan hynes, who s challenging quinn, ended up was responsible for disinterned african-american remains in an african-american cemetery. so it s getting nasty in that race. crazy things happen in three-way primaries. a wild night tomorrow. thank you, mark. coming up next, the daily
letter from her attorney to the white house that i believe was sent over there to friday saying pretty much this, right? that s right. this is outlined in a series of letters back and forth where yates attorney tries to pin down both pin down the justice department and the white house on exactly why they don t want her to talk about these discussions, and at the same time argue that asserting executive privilege for her testimony is inappropriate in this case. that was the argument that yates lawyer made, and it sort of ended up, didn t completely get resolved, because last friday in one of those letters, yates lawyer said, look, if we don t hear back from you guys, we re going to assume that we are going forward with our testimony. and because the hearing was then canceled, frankly, the white house didn t have to respond at that point or have to sort of throw down a final marker, let s say. so, what has the white house said to you about this? so far, we haven t heard an ans
