Raised, at least temporarily, but there are still Big Decisions to be made. You specifically said in the last few days that your priority is to make a big down payment on the debt. A debt crisis that you see in this country. Thats right. What do you specifically require . Whats the priority . What has the president got to do in your point of view . Ill just explain what the speaker said when we passed that bill. Our goal is to get cuts and reforms that put us on a path to balancing the budget in a decade. We think the senate ought to offer a budget. They havent passed a budget in four years, even though we have a law that says we need a budget every year. We havent seen any Solutions Offered by the president on how to get the budget balanced, pay down the debt, and no budget in four years. We need to figure out how to grow the economy, how to get opportunity. And if we have a debt crisis like they had in europe, everybody gets hurt. Thats what we want to avoid. Last week, senator schum
Additional revenue. Are you opposed to any additional revenue that could come from tax reform . We offered that back in the fiscal cliff negotiations. The president got his additional revenues.

If you keep chasing higher spending with higher revenues as theyre calling for, youre going to hurt economic growth. Youll never catch up. Youll shut
Humanity, why could we not bring the evidence to the court and find out who is responsible . To court and allow the world to participate in a trial, so to speak. You could have evidence presented, both sides could give their side and then a judgment could be made that would keep the u. S. Out of it, keep the u. S. Out of taking the lead. It would certainly give the president an opportunity to duck out of this red line. Do you think syria would be able to participate in that . Caller i think for the United States to respond just with weapons as the president seems determined to do, it is going to create blowback. It always happens and will probably create more terrorists than not. I think personally we are a nation of justice and a nation of laws. The moral leadership would be to go to an International Court where the whole world could view a fair trial that is carried on by people in the hague where people have no ties to syria. He could all stand back and brought toce whomever is resp
