mr. senor, great to see you. you ve done a lot of mock debates. you know the vice president is going to talk a lot about the ryan budget, but we know the ryan budget is not all the romney budget. how much does he defend his own budget versus the romney ticket? first of all, he has to make the case about the choice in this election. things have been rough over the last four years, and it s incumbent on president obama and vice president biden to explain what exactly has happened over the last four years. 23 million americans out of work. 47 million americans on food stamps. 1 in 6 americans in poverty. and have them explain the rationratio rationale for why they deserve a second term. there s a choice in this election. they are running on the romney-ryan agenda. governor romney has laid out a plan, laid out the five-point plan for the middle class. when there are differences, what does congressman ryan say? this is my budget. this is what governor romney is going to do. governor r
tax cut. we have a 20% tax cut across the board, no matter what income level you fall into. but for those people at the higher levels of income, what governor rom no is proposing is closing loopholes and dedux for those individuals that will ultimately make the entire budget revenue neutral. shannon: when will we find out what they are? when a budget is put together, when the budget committee puts forward a budget, they don t put forward a budget with every loophole and deduction and every single they have a couple of numbers, they say here s the top number, here s the bottom number. you go to the ways & means committee and i sit down with a burch of people and i figure out how to get a tax cut across the board and close the loopholes so the people at the higher levels pay more. you make it revenue neutral. that s how the process works. here s the deal. debbie wasserman-schultz.
specifically about the things he has done and plans to do to help women and women voters. that ad illustrated what we have seen out of the romney budget any campaign consistently throughout the campaign and in the debate last wednesday night. a rhetoric but the policies don t match up. the president has been helping small businesses. 18 tax cuts for small businesses over the last four years. policies that help protect women s health and their ability to make their own healthcare choices and most importantly doing things to get women and men back in the workforce. the romney campaign can say the right things but until they start doing the right things we will not see the progress among women voters. shannon: one in six americans now living in poverty. median income down since the president took over by $4,500. how does the president rebut what happened on his watch over the last four years? sure, well, look, the president has been consistent in telling the american people what he in
budget for the two years that john boehner has been our speaker. we spend to follow the rules and the laws to give american business a chance to compete globally and we are going on get it done. shannon: looking at the polls that takes a broad snapshot, the generic polling from real clear polling its, they give a plus-point 3 advantage to the g.o.p., clearly within the margin of error. it is going to be tight. i want to give you a chance to respond to something that your counterpart, steve israel, who leads up the democratic campaign committee. he said that mitt romney has been a nairjt maker for the dcccc. democrats say he has been great for them i. i think all have you to do is lock at republicans running in key states and seats the democrats have traditionally held. we are up and have an advantage.
priebus. in the vice-presidential debate, how much do you think the issues of medicare will come up? is that an accurate representation of the romney/ryan plan? absolutely not. it s laughable that debbie wasserman-schultz would give anyone a lecture about budgeting when she and her party have not given a budget in 3 years in violation of the law. they are not doing their job and they are spewing talking points about the budgeting process. it s a joke. secondly, i expect joe biden to do a good job. he has been debating since the early 1900s. he has done 18 debates already presidential or vice-presidential debates. i think he is relatable. i don t take him lightly. i think that paul will be prepared. but joe bidenville to deliver big-time, based on the debate nabarack obama put on the board last wednesday. so he is going to be prepared. he will want to score in points. shannon: congresswoman, final response to you and your expect eggs with the debate this weerk in.
