Is coming and the financial world is moving from caution, concern, now to serious worry. Heres a result of this one combined mess. It covers, look at this, the new yorker saying congress is the haunted house. Speaking of ghosts of the past, look who revealed herself in washington this weekend, sarah palin was at senator ted cruises side at a rally at the world war ii memorial. How do you tell youre losing in american politics . Sarah palin is standing right beside you. Thats how you tell youre losing in this game. Joining me right now is nbc capitol hill correspondent Kelly Odonnell. Kelly, break it down, the progress or lack thereof thats been made over the weekend and where do we stand now to potentially get out of this mess . While everyone is talking about signs of optimism, the practical prg ogress is hard to measure right now. Leader reid and leader mcconnell, while they dont have the fuzziest relationship, they are tactically skilled and are charge of this. They met saturday mor
Youre not telling us whether or not youre proactively determining whether, say, an under 26yearold is actually eligible for the subsidies youre trying to sell them and the problem is once we learn whether or not they were eligible and if they werent, people in good faith will be signing up for subsidies that theyre not eligible for. I think youre asking a different question, which is are we doing 100 Income Verification on everyone. And subsidy eligibility verification. Yes. So part of the question in the application process is are you depending on your parents, on your parents tax plan so that is part of the questioning that goes on and if so we move them in that direction. More importantly, part of what youre asking is the Income Verification, which is done in 100 of the cases. Im not asking about Income Verification. Okay. Im asking if a person signs up, were they offered credible employer insurance, because the mandate has been delayed, you dont have that Verification Tool so you h
Vote on the altered senate bill or vote on an amendment from House Speaker boehner that could come with more conservative sweeteners. If that amendment happens, a shutdown looks a lot more likely. No interest in seeing the government shutdown, but weve got to address the spending problems that we have in this town. President obama is already drawing a line in the sand. Heres what he said at a speech touting the Health Care Law yesterday. I will not negotiate on anything when it comes the full faith and credit of the United States of america. October 1st, thats the deadline for washington to figure all of this out. With the white house pitted against congress, the senate pitted against the house and republicans pitted against republicans, is an 11th hour deal to avert a shutdown looking less and less possible by the minute . How do you begin to unwind this . We only have a few days now before the government shutdown. I dont know what the white house can do. How does the president negoti
Their insurance and that was not the truth. And whether you like the model of obama care or not, the fact that the president sold it on a basis that was not true has undermined the foundation of his second term. I think its rotting it away. Wait, theres a little bit more, the Washington Post obtaining an internal memo that shows an outside Health Adviser warning of trouble ahead for the rollout. Telling the administration, quote, i do not believe the relevant members of the administration understand the president s vision or have the capability to carry it out. Looking back, people are going to be scratching their heads for years going how did they make this mistake . So how do mistakes like this happen inside the west wing . Well, look, i think thats a fairly devastating story. Joining me now is democratic congressman jerry nadler from new york. I want to get your reaction from this from the Washington Post article in which it says a 2008 obama Health Campaign adviser puts the rollout
What happened overnight just before midnight. The senate adjourned before considering that compromise bill to keep the government open through next year. The delay comes from a late night push by Tea Party Senators ted cruz and mike lee, who run the senate floor last night, demanding the final bill include their provision to undo president obamas recent action on immigration. And congress should use those powers given to it by the constitution to counter a lawless executive branch, or this body will lose its authority. Who do you work for . Wall street or the American People . But the bigger story here is the woman who made this dramatic showdown what it has become. Elizabeth warren, she is the voice of a new, more strident left. She was back on the senate floor last night railing, again, against the provision in the bill that would get rid of the key part of the wall street reform law passed after the meltdown. Here we are, five years after dodd frank, with congress on the verge of ra
