both sides of the aisle. suzanne malveaux is live on capitol hill with the very latest. a lot of anticipation, i would imagine, suzanne. john, there really is a lot of anticipation, a lot of questions still. i had a chance to talk to senator marco rubio just moments ago off camera. he is one of these people who has been quite critical of the process, how super secret it is but he is striking a different tone this morning saying there are five different ways americans get their health care. through the va, through the employer, their individual markets, medicare and medicaid. he s saying the republican legislation is going to impact primarily two of those areas, that being medicaid and the individual market. but having said that, people in his state, a lot of older people who also need this kind of government entitlement programs and this aid for their health care, it is going to be difficult to explain that to his constituents. there are a lot of people who feel that way. a lot of de
it s $19.99 and then i get the sunday insert out with the little scratchoff and i take it off to the cash register along with my credit card. i m relatable to you in the sense that i shopped like you or my parents worked working class jobs if the next thing you say is i m also going to cut social security private advertise it as marco rubio wants to do, if your policies are not populous? no that s why a republicans need to focus on developing a con serve tive economic populous message. it s easy for democrats to say the way we deal with this is by raising the minimum wage and having more government entitlement programs and that s going to help. that s not going to help. but republicans need to show how their small government policies their pro growth policies actually help grow the economy and create good paying jobs. for example, when you talk about cutting corporate taxes you have to say, if you only say i m going to cut corporate taxes,

the cupboard is bare? we get this debate of what should we cut and detracts from the larger picture. that s not what s dragging us down. it s ten titlement spending and research we conducted is wide appeal for entitlement spending and restraint. spend the same as last year and if they thought about it in those terms they would have a policy and political win. inflation goes up, not raising the social security payment? well, i think there is going to be some realistic old people scream. but i think people want to see that the entitlements have means testing and people investing more in 401(k)s and elsewhere, we don t need that reliance on the heavily run government entitlement programs. this is social security not a retirement plan. it is a rip-off taking money from relatively young, poor people. what do you mean it s a rip-off? i paid into that system all my
