rock center. let s watch. we have been very transparent to what s legally required of us. but the more we release, the more we get attacked, the more we get questioned, the more we get pushed. so we have done what s legally required and there s going to be no more tax releases. there ll be no more. there s a statement from the candidate s wife. bob shrum, an interesting choice she would make that statement. no more releases, period. three things. one that s a peculiar defense, saying the more we release the more we get attacked. so there s obviously something in those tax returns. number two, romney says well i paid 13.6% every year. then he should release the tax returns. that would put this issue to rest. people think he paid 1% or nothing. number three, i don t want to use this word, but i think he could be lying because he was lying in that medicare presentation. the fact is the president s plan
ere. - one serving of cheese is the size of four dice. one serving of cereal, a baseball. and one serving of fruit, a tennis ball. - you know, both parties agree. our kids can be healthier. the more you know. with us now, the director of the u.s. institute at columbia university, economist dr. jeffrey sachs, author of the price of civilization, reawakening american virtue and prosperity out in paperback now. there it is. what i m excited about, i love the book, but you have a new preface. what will we read about in the new preface some. turns out the timing is right. this book is about the choice of what should government do, small
more we get attacked. the more we get questioned, the more we get pushed. and so we have done what s legally required and there s going to be no more there s going to be no more tax releases given. and there s a reason for that. and that s because of how what happens as soon as we release anything. mitt s financial disclosures, when he was governor, are huge. if people want to really look and see, any question they have. the other thing they have to understand is that mitt is as honest his integrity is just golden. well, no, mrs. romney. that s the problem. his integrity is not just golden. he is not honest. it is hard to think of a nominee for president who has done more public lying on his way to that nomination than mitt romney. he lies about himself, he lies about what he has said. he lies about positions he has taken, and then contradicted. he lies about his opponents. he has lied relentlessly about the president. he has lied about what the
interview for rock center with brian williams that will air tomorrow night. and mrs. romney didn t like that one bit. i know it s not a question that is welcomed, but must be asked, because a lot of people still are asking, why not be transparent and release more than the 2010 and the estimates for 2011 have you seen how we re attacked? have you seen what s happened? it s been in the press quite a bit. now, are you angry it s been in the press? should you not be questioned about your finances? we have been very transparent to what s legally required of us, but the more we release, the more we get attacked. the more we get questioned, the more we get pushed. and so we have done what s legally required and there s going to be no more there s going to be no more tax releases given. and there s a reason for that. and that s because of how what happens as soon as we release anything. mitt s financial disclosures,
privatize medicare, to hand it over to the private insurance companies, and the ceos of those companies are among the millionaires who would benefit from this. and at the expense of medicare beneficiaries, who would be seeing that more and more of the cost of health care would be shifted to them. and that s what paul ryan will not want us to know about. chris van hollen, i think most people watching this show understand the difference between what president obama did in the affordable care act, in terms of trying to keep medicare more solvent and find some efficiencies in it. democrats have done that with medicare throughout the history of the program. bill clinton pulled about $200 billion in savings out of medicare in his very first year in office, so the democrats know how to do this. but your challenge, politically, is explaining to voters who say to you, wait a minute, what are you complaining about paul ryan and romney for? they say president obama cut $700 billion from medicar
