his policies. greta: we re running out of time. i m hard on both sides of the aisle on this, because they ve known about this problem since july or august of last year, not six months ago, but of 2011. there was a bipartisan plan to save medicare. we ve passed cut, cap and balance. we voted for things. the american people know where we stand. it s time for the president to put forward his plan. greta: i understand that. i m harsher on him for not having a plan at all, but part of leadership on both sides of the isle, yo aisle, you know thr side is a problem, i know he hasn t put his budget up, and harry reid pocket vetoes everything, won t put a budget on the floor, i got that, but still as a leader you have to figure out a way to solve this problem, to get him to get a plan, to work out a solution. it s not just enough, i did my work, and i m walking away. he s the president. he has to lead. greta: i agree with you! i ve been in business when you negotiate with somebody in
changes to healthcare plans, like a $10k10 copay, and make people may into their retirement funds. some schools locked into the bargaining agreements before the walker law took effect and kept on going. maybe it wasn t plastic surgery, but you re seeing teachers getting fired instead of making benefit reductions. greta: it isn t just plastic surgery, but it s airline travel, expensive hotels, limousine. i mean, this is quite a school district to work for. and it was $9 million for plastic surgery a few years ago. by the way, there is no copay. i mean, you have this operation and don t pay anything. greta: i don t understand why everybody isn t up in arms. i mean, why just now? you would have thought when it was $9 million they d be angry about it. you d need a political system that s in the mood, that scott walker and republicans were in in wisconsin. this is why scott walker was
on the nationwide shows on sunday she said that the president has killed osama bin laden and decimated al-qaeda. that s simply a false statement. al-qaeda is on the rise. they ve reconstituted themselves in many places. they re all over the middle east, including pouring into syria as we speak, as well as libya, iraq, etc. greta: what did she say? she said, well, maybe i should have said core, that we have decimated core al-qaeda. well, first of all, that s a directly vastly different from what she actually said. number two is that really is kind of meaningless to take out core al-qaeda. but again, i want to emphasize many of these questions are right at the doorstep of the president of the united states. why did he on the 25th, two weeks later, talk to the united nations about hateful videos?
the government is replete with waste and fraud. part of the culture, it s not just a spending cultures, it s a waste and fraud culture. you guys don t even look in your own backyard. i was the auditor general in pennsylvania for eight years, the watchdog. i rooted out a lot of waste and fraud. greta: do you agree with me? absolutely there is. it s been under democrats and republicans. greta: both. in order to build what we need to build greta: why don t you start there? show good faith to the american people that you really car. the gao almost every couple of years have produced a report that said we could save between $100 billion and $200 billion. let s say it with a off. greta: i have that report on my desk. every single year you ignore it except for senator tom coburn. shame on both parties. greta: i m not kidding. it s disgraceful. you need income from upper income folks, but you have to
born, to do anything like this. they don t have anyone like that in new york. greta: you can either educate a kid or pay $9 million so teachers look good. a republican would say, this shows you the whole system needs to be thrown out and rebuilt. a democrat might say, well, of course this is in excess, we need to fix that, keep the system intact. that s where the political fight comes in. greta: if you live in buffalo, new york, your tax aren t spent on your kid s education necessarily. panel, thank you. coming up, what we ve been waiting for. a $550 million jackpot. the powerball drawing is minutes away. you ll see the winning numbers right here. that s next. s hard to see oppoy in today s challenging environment. unless you have the right perspective. bny mellon wealth management has the vision and experience to look beyond the obvious. we ll uncover opportunities, find hidden risk,
