thank you reporting to us from washington. take a look at who is talking and the big chatter in the nation s capital the looming sequestor. we are four-days away from the $85 billion of spending cuts. in this moment it doesn t seem congress reach add deal. in washington you have a large kabuki going on about who will be blamed. no question these thoughts are going to be painful and they are thoughtless. i know tom coburn and i agree on that. we need to do more spending cutting. we agree on that. why is it that we want come to the table and agree what cuts need to happen. that s what we should be doing. we shouldn t be passing the blame to the executive branch and saying this is obama s sequestor. the republicans supported this i supported it. we need to come together to make
board. you supported the idea but the white house opposes transfer authority. what sense does that make? here is really what is going on. you have as usual in washington a large thing going on about who can get blamed. no question the cuts will be painful and they are thoughtless. i know tom coburn and i agree on that. we need to do more spending cutting. we have to cut more spending. we agree on that. why is it that we can t come to the table and agree what cuts need to happen? that is what we should be doing. we shouldn t be passing the blame to the executive branch or saying this is obama s sequester. the republicans supported this. i supported it. we need to come together and make the right cuts and frankly ash carter at the department of defense said even if we did some kind of flexibility move at the 11th hour it is too little too late in terms of what they have in motion at the department of defense. we need to come together

he did the very thing that they would call being met with a deal. he sealed his doom, agreeing to the higher taxes without a token gesture in spending cut in return for harry reid. the deal ultimately agreed to has 41 times more tax hikes than spending cutting. not one to one. or two to one. or three to one. or four to one. 41 to 1. so i understand the speaker speaking the way he did with a guy that wasn t doing what he said. it s a wonder that boehner didn t drop the f bomb more. the irony here is boehner could lose the job trying to make a deal. harry reid will likely keep his job. boehner is a bore for being blunt and telling the other guy to his face, but reid is an angel for being phony. and referring to rip the other guy only behind his back.
