time will tell whether it is a good decision or bad but i think it is israel s decision to make where their capitol is. it turn it another important issue you are very deeply involved in. later in week the senate scheduled to vote on a budget proposal that you wrote and say this would balance the budget by cutting one cents one penny out of every dollar spent. but just last year, you voted for this tax cut bill that experts the cbo and the congressional budget office and others said would add $1.5 trillion to the national debt. so can you claim a higher ground on fiscal conservative balance budget when you supported that legislation? well i ve supported tax cuts and spending cuts. and in fact, on that same tax cut bill i had an amendment to allowed for entitlement savings to offset the tax cut. so if you are willing to offset with spending cuts, there is no hypocrisy there. and the penny plan i m
money? we have to give to get so we had to do domestic spending that the democrats wanted so we could get our defense spending and we got a lot of spending cuts we wanted they didn t want either so yes this is a bipartisan compromise you don t get everything you want and what i would simply say is look at what the house has already proven our ability to do on entitlements. we have passed every year since we ve been in the majority, every term big entitlement savings, the problem we have is we can t get these things through the send aour healthcare bill people look as the repeal and replace bill that was enormous entitlement reform bill for medicaid, obamacare. maria: so what s realistic then you aren t going to make changes in an election year. this is in the journal today. income transfers like medicare medicaid, social security food stamps that category was 47.7% in 1989 and today it s 69.2% and that doesn t include the net interest on the debt.
