now, i know that mr. mcconnell would accuse the president of being responsible for the collapse of the ottoman empire as well but what is your reaction to that? they have no credibility. i love these republicans who run to the floor of the house and senate and with one hand they finger point at president obama for high gas prices and with the other hand, they put their voting cards in and vote for $40 billion in subsidies of oil company profits. i ll tell you when gas prices will come down. when republicans quit devoting their lives to protecting oil company profits. when they put the middle class ahead of oil company executives, then maybe we have a shot at bringing oil prices down in this country. well, that s a fairly strong response. what promised to be yet another ugly fight over medicare is about to rear its head again in the congress, as you know. is this a win for democrats or republicans in an election year? because you and i know, this is an extremely sensitive area of po
ran. i m sure you had a reason why you ran. my number-one reason was spending. it was out of control. my first year in, we did $2.7 trillion in revenues. revenues were up 10%. yet we still overspent the budget, $130 billion. now fast forward four years. a trillion four last year, a trillion four this year, a trillion four next year, we need a constitutional balanced budget amendment so if you take in $3 trillion, you spend $3 trillion and gives the taxpayers the best deal. you pass that in the house in 95 and came up one vote short. chuck todd will tell you why i went to congress because he was reporting on mow then. it was because i liked the ties with the congressional seals. they re green made you feel important. so important. the voting cards, too. they get you free drinks. free drinks. at the old ebit i think. exactly right. so this bill is going to pass through the senate, obviously. and what about the house?

answers. the partisanship is coming from them making wild accusations on who is being attacked. whoever had a part in this, needs to answer for what happened in benghazi. that s what this investigation is about. if the democrats on the oversight and government reform committee are tired of doing their job, they need to turn in their voting cards and let someone else do it. we need to continue to investigate about four dead americans and what the future looks like for our folks serving overseas. we know the senate is going to have a hearing this week that will involve former acting cia direct mike morrell. we know there are numerous different investigations proceeding. what s next for you on the house oversight committee regarding bengha benghazi? we re still looking for information. and the investigation from our committee staff and members are looking to still interview more of the witnesses who were on the ground or involved in that, some have not been ready fourth coming and the
