Years. That was the route to the american dream, whatever it was for families, go to college, buy a house. These trump projections, it will double and this has been painfully apparent in the labor market. We have had recovery for eight years and we have not seen anyone get a raise. We have seen anemic investment in the United States and we get repeated reminders that our companies would rather be headquartered somewhere else than the United States and all of this says to me the status quo is not working and we ought to try something different. I am open to something that is a growth oriented tax reform that will generally help the middle class. Nothing helps the middle class more than having an economy that generates jobs and a raise on a regular basis. Host when you think republicans talk about the middle class, those opposing the plan, who are you talking about . Was sort of range are you looking at . Guest the Median Income in the about 60,000,s so i am thinking about the to 50,000
The freeway. Alex savidge live at the scene of the accident as we wait to hear from the chp with more information. Alex. Reporter good afternoon to both of you. This deadly crash that claimed the life of that offduty deputy has backed up traffic for miles here headed east. You can see behind us here, you have the three left lanes of the freeway shut down for what is going to be a very extensive investigation that will last into the afternoon hours here. Those three left lanes are shut down just past grant line road for this investigation by the chp. Now that charter bus you see there on the left was carrying more than 50 tesla employees and it slammed into that white vw beetle that you can see is just mangled on the side of the freeway. For some reason that beetle was stopped in the middle of lanes, according to investigators. The Alameda County sheriffs deputy riding in that beetle was killed and the chp captain i spoke with a short time ago here at the scene told me that for him and

Thanks. Cbs news political director John Dickerson is joining us now from the set of face the nation. John, there was stug you noticinged today about the president repeating that his National Security adviser had done nothing wrong. Thats right. The Michael Flynn episode, what penalty there is for not telling the truth in the Trump Administration to. Day we got the fourth explanation from the president on what his relationship was with Michael Flynn. The president said flynn had to resign because the former National Security adviser lied to the Vice President about a conversation flynn had with the Russian Ambassador. But the president was fuzzy on what flynn had lied about. The president suggested flynns conversation with the ambassador was a no big deal outreach. That takes place during a transition. Mike was doing his job. He was calling countries. And his counterpart. So it certainly would have been owe ca okay. I would have directed him to do it if i thought he wasnt doing it. I w
The fight agai mr. Trump said he will issue a new travel ban next week. His earlier temporary ban on all refugees and on citizens of seven predominantly muslim countries is blocked in court. Today, the president listed about 20 president ial orders that he says the media wont cover. We have covered them. And chip reid has found that not all of them are what they seem. I dont think there has ever been a president elected who in the short period of time has done what weve done. This administration is running like a finetuned machine. Democratic senator, dick durbin said that is wildly off the mark. Every new administration has the its growing pains. Ki he had to dismiss his acting attorney general. He faced an executive order which was rejected by three different federal courts. And then he had to take the resignation of his National Security adviser. Thats never hatppened. Finetuned machine off to a rough start. The president come cland congress is blocking him. Cant get my cabinet appr
