This night she would mention camelot being lost and a mart was on. It was sadly all coming together at this hour on this day and that includes every major Global Leader converging on our Nations Capital with a horsedrawn rriage that had plastered Abraham Lincoln with through the same streets. She waited to take her husband home one last time and ane era. The the reality of all this heading home this hour on this night for a country that would be fixated on nothing else these next few days. A friday night then as it is now. But as different as night and day. That is why we are breaking to understand the brave from everything we knew 50 years ago tonight. Better to see the man through the met and we begin with knew jack kennedy really was. Not that clueless rate and tonight, jfk is the pragmatic politician that you might not now and he does some remarkable things. Lessons and warnings for it the president then and now. That is what issthis what about john kennedy. How thereas no predictable mold to john kennedy. That is what defined him in history and leaves us guessing in history. Just ask a historian. Rick, this happened after the fact,but lets go back who he was, and think one thing that comes through loud and clear is not easily labeled, not a conservative but very pragmatic. And these are terms the change with every generation. It is the one at was supposed to be in theearly 1960s and jfk as a politician, of course, always one of these terms to be flexible. This includes jfk ing a liberal in the classic mold. It has pretty much been debunked by historians if you look at his backing of the civil rights movement. He was kind of weak kneed the first couple of years and then offense finally pushed into it and he got more liberal on the issue. Talking about his tax cut policy, which is what i think what you really want to talk about here is jfk who started out fairly conservative on tax cuts and e was not a conservative when it came to government policy. So it is a mixed bag. He did go after this industry and the irony, i will get into this with my day in san fran david asman, the message that he was trying to convey. It was always about getting this United States off the map that the russians were beating us in space, we had kind of lost our prestige he was concerned about that nd it was a slowdown that he wanted to bring us out of that but ironically with tax cuts and things that wou be friendly to businesses, including cuts in investment. So had he lived, do you think ultimately but those tax cuts did go into effect i did have the desired effect but they said that they would . Would be asuccess more than Lyndon Johnson ultimately would . Lets talk about his. Because one of the things thats important to underand is when he first comes into office, he is concerned about deficits as are most americans and he was actually opposed to tax cuts and then he says that we need a tax cut toet this economy going. And eventually the revenues will start to inccease. At that time come about, that was actually considered part of ynesianism. You had some liberals who said that its really all about spending. And jfk rejected that, he rejected what was favored, which was lets have a lot of spending programs. Neil would he have gone along with lbjs plan and i. I am not so sure that he would have. Because he was very concerned about ho the impact of these deficits were going to be on the country. But he rejected the idea that we should have deficits define economic policy. Because he said that if we can get the economy going, and we will have much greater productivity and ultimately this will increase. And if you look at that, but he had put it into place, he did not just cut the marginal tax rates from 91 on the 70 for personal income taxes, he also cut corporate taxes and he also made it shorter that they close up a lot of loopholes and 3. 5 billion in loopholes that actually raise revenue for the federal government. He was an advocate of the system. I want to thank you. Thats a very good perspective. A lot of you might be watching thing that is what neil and rick are saying thereso way to jfk said that. But yes, he did. Check this out. Every dollar lease from taxation will help create a new job. And these new jobs and salaries create other jobs and salaries and the created tax cuts. Creating more jobs and more income across the board, top to bottom cuts in both corporate and personal income taxes. Can you imagine any modern liberal state in agreement or president obama saying the agreement the thing is that he believed igrowth for everybody. He did not believe in blamg one group against another, pitting one group against another. His famous phrase was a rising tide lifts all votes. The goal nowadays for the modern liberal and president obama is included in us, his Income Redistribution and that trumps the goal of growth for everybody. They are more interested in this is not just saying a sameness, this is why friends of president kennedy like joseph also been others say that he didnt like liberals. He did not like liberals because he believed that liberals would sacrifice what is good for the entire country for the sake of their ideological commitment and ss oes the wall street editorial page. Bob bartley and Milton Friedman is to say that, it is very often a corporation. You ever wonder what he would think today of veterans that provide 85 billion per month t keep the market goinng and the economy going . Thats a good question. I dont think he would be in favor of it because he sees the reaction. Neil the things a lot easier for conservatives to say, we have 90 plus and he brings it down to 70 or whatever the federal government will ultimately end up with more revenue and that is the heart of tax cutting you a nice breeze. And that is what kennedy embraced and thats exactly the opposite view of the current administration. Neil thank you, david, thank you so much. And would he endorse the Big Health Care law that is now a mess today . Meet the business owne who says its driving her to drink. Obamacare had negatively impacted us. I had o children or history of ug abuse. Not yet. Not yet. And this is driving me to drink. The American Dream is of a bett future, a confident rerement.

Unlimited 1. 5 cash back on every purchase, everywhere, every single day. So let me ask you. Ats in your wallet . I received notice from Blue Cross Blue Shield in september that my Health Care Plan was going to be canceled and it was going to be replaced by one that had been chosen for me and i will never except for someone to make my health care oice for me. I have no children. I have no history of alcohol or drug abuse yet. Okay rematch because this is driving me to drink. [laughr] neil that was good. Complaining about the Health Care Law last week. Theeceo joinme rightnow. An argument for the problems of this whole lot. So where are you now and is there any improvement . That averages about 136 . For me and my gender, its just under 200 . I said in my testimony that i think that every individual should have Affordable Health care. Andthere is a way to go about it. I dont think what you want to do is have the individuals that are here. Neil so wheredo u thik that we lay right now and are youll like otherthat we have had here, betr something than nothing . And the government is actually chipping away at my freedom. My freedom to choose the Health Care Services that i want, i just cant i cannot accept that. Neil so you wouldnt be eligible for the subsidies. Those cut off for families, vingven said that, this does settle down. It gives people time to read those and all the options that are out there and everything will be okay and sheila, you neednt be driven to drink. This will work out. What do you think . They are off track. And Business Owners like mself are not going to accept it and th government needs to understan and this is absolutely unacceptable. So i dont think its going to go away. So from what ive hard the past few days, it is definity not going away. This is just stirring it up and we, the people, we are tired of it. Neil thank you, sheila. Thank ou. Neil do anyof you remember the protest things to push on unemployment befits past the 99 week when the agreement that was 300 days ago. The democrats are pushing for still more jobless been in.

What if i told you someone coululd pay you and what ifhat person were you . When you think about it, isnt that what retirement should be, paying ourselves to do what we love . Has been 240 week and 11 temporary extension since the first Unemployment Benefits were filed. Instead of pushing for more handouts, maybe they should be pushing for more jobs. Linda is here to hash it out with adam lashinsky. This is the type of backwards thinking that we have been getting accustomed to coming out of washington. And this includes addressing the underlying structural issues. At this point, we should be having meaningful discussion about tax reforms and progrowth and probusiness policies and instead what we are hearing from is me handouts and welfare and keeping americans on this. This is perpetuating the problem neill i guess things are pretty bad. But are we just, are we making a bigger mess of this . I will say straight out. I dont know what the right amount of time is. So i am trying to be humble about that. But what i do know is that the people, obviously we still have high unemployment and people are still hurting and we are cutting the social safety net in other ways as well. We saw what happened with food stampsand we saw what has happened with a great number of states fusing to participate in the Affordable Care act whic has ramifications on pple like this. So what i am arguing for is that we cannot cannot do all of these things atonce. We have to figure out how to take care of people, wther it is extending Unemployment Benefits or not, i dont know. I dnt nt buy the argument that is encourages people to not look for work. It is not like they are living high on the hog with Unemployment Benefits. This is intended to be a shortterm supplement. If there really was more correlation between increasing the jobless benefits,why would we not just extend them indefinitely or for a lifetime . The reason is because there is a correlation and as we see jobless benefits increase, theres a positive correlation th a reduction in that incentive to actually go out and look for a job. Of course, that is not all people, but on the margin, there is not a fact. Neil i think what happened is that people have gotten used to the government as a backup. The big banks and know that the government will always have their back, you know, those behind on their mortgages, those have a job, the trouble is the government doesnt have enough money. It might sound cool to say that thwll has run dry, but it has. We are kneedeep o out here. I know that i am supposed to disagree with you, but i think that you are right. People have come to think of the govevernment as a backstop and i think the government should be a backstop. Neil but theres a limit to be had, right . Yes, quite literally there are limits. So i do think we should have a policy discussion on what it should and. I think though that when people are hugry, that is where yo end it. And its debatable as to whether not the well has run dry. We still have tremendous economic power in this country to he people in need and we are not there yet. My fear is that even when they say that we are home free, the fact of the matter is that its all a credit line. And we are were going to have to make some har choices here. We certainly are. And i think, the other guest is exactly right that we need to have a discussion of oneness needs to end. I would like to see our political leaders stepped out and say that we know you dont want to stay on the government. We know that you dont want to be reliant on the federal government indefinitely. So i would like to hear more of we need the ameeican public off of that moving them back into the private secor. Taking some responsibility for the individuals. That is the type of proposal that we need to be hearing from officials. Neil i would just add that we have made difficult choices and they are not always good choices. We have crumbling roads and bridges and we dont have enough people who have access to good medical care. We have cut down on food stamps. We have cut down on the military. We have made some tough choices. And were going to have to make more. Neil times are tough, but they are not depression toug. I think that we have tomake tougher decisions because that does not match the reality of the economic recovery or the resources that you say that we have. The problem is the way that we have is civil conversation among t three of us, thats t the way that the conversation happens in congress. Theres another side that said lets cut everything because all of these programs are bad. [laughter] neil i want to thank you. In the meantime, the latest privacy invasion and the government. And this one could be outright illegal. We debated and you decided. We will have that next vo you are a business pro. Maestro of project management. Baron of the buildout. You need a permit. To be this awesome. And you. Rent from national. Because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle. And go. You can even take a fullsize or above, and still pay the midsize price. aaron purrrft. vo meeeow, business pro. Meeeow. Go national. Go like a pro. The one you have probably heard about this. The government is constantly tracking the vehicle, its like, oh my goodness, he beats his ildren and their. [laughter] enact critics are saying its a massive privacy invasion. We have two individuals oon this topic. I think its more than creepy, i thinkts unacceptable. To have a device in your vehicle that tracks what youre doing and if you pass the light, all of these specifics that are now unregulated. The government has yet to regulate who can use that for what purposes its like oh, i got ke oh, i got this and they tried to introduce that and try to use that against people as evidenced. What do you think we might do think that this can go too far . You definitely cant go too far. When they are tracking how many people are in your car, how fast youre going, if there is an argument in the car, that is a very lrge invasion of privacy and it goes beyond big brother where there is nowhere that is offlimits and you cant have a conversation without someone hearing it. You should see the knucklehead i had driving. We want to track this person, we think that they are suspicious. When they track the person for days and months and years, the appeals was gone when police put tracking devices and thus not an invasion of privacy. So what if you are carrying a cell phone or iphone and they contracted through that. The argument is that we need to do this now an we need to make it a more blunt instrument. So marty has a device in a car. Youre absolutely right. Theinformation is being disseminated in a new car already as a black box in it so i can recreate what happened at a time that crashed. Lets say les say today she realizes im veeringff the road. And then she could interpret that to mean that i am dodging out. They can use that against you in a divorce proceeding. And seis saying what if the uple decides they want to divorce and someone starts to monitor the other couple. Where are the limits . If youve got copd like me, hey breathings hard. Know the feeling .
