positi position. government is having trouble getting us. we have so many programs out there, i voted against them because they don t. we spent tens of billions of dollars in this country trying to figure out how to fix a problem that government produced and there isn t an easy answer. the best answer, i think the best answer of all is we need to create jobs. you look at nevada, we have the highest foreclosure but we also have the highest unemployment. right. you look at the next state that s second in unemployment, they re probably second in foreclosures. so the ultimate answer for this, we need to create jobs in this country and keep people in their homes. no kidding. later today, there in washington, d.c. where you re sitting, senator, the super committee, i think it s going to meet again behind closed doors, all this stuff that s so important with every american going on behind closed doors. you have introduced, there are the super committee members, you have introduced a sup
that s why one of the super committee members, a democrat, told us today he s optimistic of a grand bargain, but very skeptical. i ve always been in the camp that hoped we could go big, get sort of a large over arching agreement that tackles a lot of these issues. i don t know am whether we ll be able to get there or not. only time will tell. but i think that there is a seriousness of purpose among the members of the committee to work very hard between now and our very short deadline to get the job done. now, if they don t get $4 trillion in deficit cuts, they have to at least get 1.2 trillion. that s what they promised in the debt ceiling negotiations, otherwise something known as southwest race kicks in. that s a complicated washington way of saying painful defense cuts would automatically kick in, painful entitlement cuts would automatically kick in to reset $1.2 trillion target. it s an incentive to make both sides try to come together and dependent a deal.
back to arizona. here is the deal here. he said we can vote against the triggers. that is wrong. they can t. it takes two-third vote. you can pass it on to another congress. it s law. the other thing i would say is this committee is under enormous pressure to come up with something big and they will come up with something bid, because it s bad politically and on the market. andrea: the president stood in front of the nation and said we don t need a system that favors corporations and lobbyists. lobbyists are the ones lobbying the super committee members to protect the industry. obama creates the lobbying feeding frenzies wherever he goes. it seems that he is advocating the responsibility there. kimberly: well, coming up, we re going to move to some 2012 news. that is next. get in the battle between mitt romney and rick perry. escalating in huntsman campaign shakeup. that s all here. don t forget to e-mail us at thefive@foxnews.com.
