Today talking about the significance of the budget deal reached in washington in terms of the political implications for both the democratic and republican parties as well as the origins of some of what we have been seeing in washington. We have a terrific panel. I would like to introduce the panel. We have gil gutknecht, he served for 12 years in the minnesota house and 12 years in the United States house of representatives. We have martin sabo, who served for a long time in the minnesota house of representatives, including a speaker from 1973 1978. He went on to washington, where he served for 13 terms, i believe, in very important positions. Congress passed a budget act that played a major role in the reduction of the deficits during the 1990s. We have a colleague of mine and teaches courses as well as working with us in some of our other programming. He was a representative in the minnesota house from 19792000 seven.

Is the Prime Minister guilty of tax of points for tax evasion . 900 million into specific majors of tax avoidance. All these schemes grew up under years of labour government. They never did a general tax avoidance. They presided over a system where people in the city were paying less taxes than their cleaners and the government has sorted out.

I also believe that limited government we have ought to work, ought to be robust. And the government, the federal government has a responsibility in the area of cybersecurity, in my judgment, and we have been in some ways not facing up to that.

But as we noticed today, there are no votes on the United States congress and the house of representatives today. We also agree, and emphasize this again, as did Gene Sperling everyone, and we mean everyone, should get 250,000 ineveryone and so that means that even billionaires get that first 250,000. And everyone is in agreement the republicans do not want to see the middle class go without this tax cut. So where we disagree, let us push that off. Where we agree, lets embrace. Further, we discussed again the long term effects of our deficit, which are directly tied to health care the work that has been done in the congress as it relates to constructing and exchange that will take place in 2014 and go into effect, and the tools that we provided a initially on a concept that by its very nature was one designed by republicans, that there is ample room for us to tackle the unbelievable rise in cost of health care to 17 of our Gross Domestic Product by focusing on dropping those costs.
