starts with the budget and then we move forward. neil: everything has to fall into place as you reminded me last time, senator. the one thing that comes to mind where there might be movement to try to appeal to wayward voters. maybe some democrats. i ve heard bantied about the corporate tax rate to 20%, you might not do it at all once. maybe to satisfy deficit hawks, you might be 1, sir, you can extend that over two to three years. is that true? i haven t heard of it put that way yet, neil. our plan is to get a good step forward this year. let me put it in perspective. we ve made promises about 5.5 trillion in tax reductions. we ve only got room for 1.5 trillion in actual reductions and revenue coming in. so we have to have revenue
clinton s mode of revenue enhancements instead admitting she wants tax increase. hillary clinton is going to try the same things barack obama tried. she ll go to the left of barack obama and try bernie sanders and hosing the middle class when it comes to their healthcare and not having jobs available. marco rubio talked about how this family came from nothing, poorer to upper class, he came through the ranks. to say it s just donald trump isn t true. they laid out details and specifics unlike hillary clinton. martha: i have a question for you have, katie. donald trump says he wants to tax hedge fund managers more. he thinks the rich should pay more. do you think that will work with conservative voters?
immigrants out of the shadows and he ll focus efforts on implementing the affordable care act. after the disastrous rollout of the website. republicans are determined not to help him, saying the law is flawed and should be repealed. it remains to be seen how effective the insurance exchange signups actually were. there is a republican push, with some democratic support, to stop using federal money for political conventions and spend it on children s medical research instead. greg harper is a congressman from mississippi. if we do, it just might inspire us to come together and do what the american people sent us here to do, jobs, health care, energy, education and innovation are all areas in which the house has started work that washington needs to finish this year. the white house hasn t taken a position on harper s bill, but officials point out harper rejected the package of revenue enhancements and spending cuts that would have avoided the
reporter: we were told he would be extending the olive branch down pennsylvania avenue but he did it with a lecture. he didn t name ted cruz by the way bu basically said don t break what our founding fathers and predecessors have built. that was to the tea party. he did talk about that balanced approach he wants to bring to the budget. i talked towise white house officials who say when the president uses those words, balanced approach, he s talking about budget cuts, entitlement spending reform. as democrats like to point out, they would like to see revenue enhancements. and even some republicans agree with that as well. he wants to move on to immigration reform, pass the farm bill that got out of the senate. we didn t hear a great deal about health care reform and fixing the glitches in obama care. the other thing we didn t here is the president taking any responsibility for this crisis and that is sort of, i guess, a signal that he doesn t feel much
he got them. b, sequester came out of the economic team recommended to the president. the president got behind it. yeah, it passed with 174 republicans in the house. but it also passed with a majority of democrats in both houses. so everybody has skin in this particular game. i think at this point what republicans have been trying to say, sometimes not very well, is that we have gone to that to that edge on taxes. we ve given in on the tax increases. howard makes a very interesting point. now the question becomes, do we go back and raise taxes on everyone or do we raise more on on the top 1% or 2%? that s part of the discussion. but i think the bottom line is really arnold the simpson/bowles reality. you re going to have to find a combination of the two. cuts in spending as well as revenue enhancements, whether that comes through closing loopholes or additional increases in rates. that should be the debate that we engage in right now. i think it s an opportunity for republicans to
