weeks away from a potential government hut down unless congress can pass a bill . in may, debt ceiling is coming calling. it is it a crisis we have seen including in 2011 and caused our nation to lose the triple a credit rating. mike, republicans, not budging on giving up more tax revenue for cuts. maybe they could be asking for more down the road. harris, they are open to closing tax loop holes and part of tax reform but not allowing government spending. house republicans passed a deal to deal with the cuts in another way. we urge president obama and democrats to pass a responsible plan to repolice the sequester. instead of campaigning for higher taxes, the president should lead the effort to
going to send this country into a recession that we haven t seen. a radio interview the president said this. whether or not we can move republicans at this point to do the right thing is what we are still trying to gauge. my sense is that their basic view is that nothing is important enough to raise taxes on wealthy individuals or corporations. and they would refer to see these kinds of cuts that can slow down a recovery over closing tax loop holes. a new u ssa today poll shows th the president s position is supported by 76% of the people. they favor deficit reduction of tax revenue and increases and
raise taxes on wealthy individuals or corporations. and they would prefer to see these kinds of cuts that could slow down a recovery over closing tax loop holes, and that s the thing that binds their party together at this point. now, they must have struck a nerve. because over at fox news, they went wow and they ve been playing, interviewing, and let me show you the response. here is a tape from fox news on their response with what the president said on the radio show. the president seems to go back to this. just demonize the opponent repeatedly. he does that often. i think this is a classic example of this administration s way of selling this to the american people, is you good out there and fear monger. and every republican is evil, rich and white. and i m fighting them so be on my team. i missed the line where he called every republican rich and
includes closing some tax loop holes for millionaires andors. and the republicans are saying no, we won t touch those tax loopholes. we are willing to let these horrible defense cuts go in. and so this is one of those moments where the president can cut through those two lines that don t meet each other in the debate, and try to create the picture of this debate. because some people, many people will be hearing about the sequester and these cuts for the very first time tonight. we re told that the president is on his way to the chamber. of course, his entrance into the chamber will be announced by the sergeant at arms, paul irving, who will say the big official thing, and then it will take the president forever to get down the aisle as everybody wants to shake his hand as he approaches the podium. but that is just moments away. first time using a microphone. to make the announcement? instead of mr. speaker! which was always broadcast with basso profundo.
is that what he s talking about? that s what he s talking about . they will save a lot of money. but when we hear information like this, it is tough for people to get perspective and understand what is going to take place . we hear head leans and think close tax loop holes and they are confusing. but the american people needs to know, if loop holes will close. it is not just google. it is amazon and general electric. all of these companies use the loop holes because they are judged on profitability. we ll continue to see this unless we change. gretchen: these universitis and companis and have given to different administrations. this is the obama 2012 campaign. university of the california a million. microsoft 761,000 . google 737,000. et cetera and what do they get in return, ed, for giving that
