i should just claim i did not think of that and invent that on my own, and i was late to the party. yeah, to your point, the reality we re talking federal spending going up 15 or 20 billion this year instead of 60 or 70 billion dollars this year, and that s the deal. and really, what s driving all of it, when you get down to it, this whole discussion is about the biggest part of the bugetary pie and entitlement programs like the he president s new health insurance entitlement. medicare and social security, that s stranging tuniversal dollars and what s funny and humorous about the moment, the president is going to spend maybe not a million dollars, but hundreds of thousands of dollars jaeven way to talk about how we have to save every cent possible so people can protect our borders, build ships, keep the economy vital and do all of these things.
medicare, that s the reason medicare is going bankrupt. we re adding obamacare would help with this. because he was saying in this law, the bill that became law, we ll do more preventive care and keep people well before they got to that point. real preventive care doesn t occur in a doctor s office or a hospital and i don t think that obamacare looks at this. obamacare is an extension of comprehensive insurance to millions of people, very, very expensive. i think as i said at the beginning of this, you ve got to change the retirement age. why should a 65-year-old require for medicare now. if we re already saying they re way, way better health than a 65-year-old was back in the 1940 s. and susan, there s been sear he ozero appetite raising retirement age. tried to do it one year and it wasn t like one year right now. you re about to turn 65 and we re going to raise it. it was in 20 years, then we ll raise it one year and it was no! you are demagogued to death if you suggest rai
they re trying to do this, because the democrats want to see the bad things happen because politically it improves their hand. a what charles was quoting, top lobbyists quoted as saying, worst case scenario he, the sequester would hit and nothing bad happens. and his point to bret last night was this, if this is where we are about nothing, if this is where we are in a fight about nothing. about a significantly insignificant anything and the monster eats that, and not a fight anymore, but a real fight. if we can t achieve it now when we ve got cushion, imagine where we re going to end up. where the government is going to end up anyway when you get to the point where the entitlement monster ate it all. megyn: the entitlement monster, the visual works for me. all right, chris, thank you. you bet. the president and his cabinet
the al-qaeda infiltrator, could that be the ship building job that would keep the economy of virginia humming? i don t know, but the point is when you get to the point of this ridiculous kind of argument, that s really about nothing, when you get to the point of this ridiculous argument, you open yourself up to the criticism that says, what do we spend for you to do everything? it costs the taxpayers a fortune, every breath that the president draws, now we want him to be safe and he has to be in communication and all of these things it costs a fortune to have this guy around, any doesn t have to have a campaign-like event and the teleprompter, go over to capitol hill and charles krout hammer says it s cynical. the reason we re having this parade, this is the horrible stuff that s going to happen if the sequester takes please. decreases to the increase in our spending there s system be an increase and the reason
yesterday. the president s former campaign team have formed a lobbying group focused on advancing mr. obama s legislative agenda. to get the ball rolling. they funded a pitch sounded like they were selling access to the president and the new york times had a long report about this whole thing over the weekend. here is the white house spokesman jay carney fielding questions from white house correspondent ed henry. you re not denying the point that was reported by the new york times that even though he has all of those reforms if you give 5,000 or more to this group you get access to the president. the president is engaged in an effort to pass items on his agenda and outside organizations that support that agenda, like organizations that are environmental in nature and support abbi
