| 08:56:36 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. YOU KNOW, SHE REALLY DID GET A PRESENT ON DEBT DAY IN A SENSE BECAUSE THAT DEBT... |
| 08:56:46 |
|
OH, YES. IT'S SORT OF LIKE THE COLLEGE DEBT. IT'S GOING TO GO ON FOREVER. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE... |

RECLAIMING MY TIME. THERE ARE SOME RECORDS BEING BROKEN, AREN'T THERE? WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS A LOT OF... |
| 08:58:29 |
|
WELL, I THANK MY FRIEND FROM MISSOURI FOR CONTINUING TO HOST THESE DISCUSSIONS. WE CAN REALLY TALK... |
| 08:59:08 |
|
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS -- I YIELD. |
| 08:59:15 |
|
I USE A DIFFERENT RATING. I'VE BEEN ASKED, HOW DO YOU RATE PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FIRST 100 DAYS? AND I'VE... |
| 08:59:26 |
|
THAT'S CHEATING. I THOUGHT IT WAS A TO F. YOU'RE GOING ALL THE WAY TO L FOR LIBERAL. |

THANK YOU. I THANK YOU FOR LEADING THIS DISCUSSION. GLAD TO JOIN MY CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS WHO ARE... |

|
I APPRECIATE YOU SHARING THAT. PARTICULARLY ASKING THAT QUESTION, JUST REGULAR PEOPLE. I'M THE SAME... |
| 09:07:42 |
|
THERE'S SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT BUT THE ONE THAT JUST POPS OFF THE PAGE IS THE PROMISE THAT WAS MADE... |
| 09:08:48 |
|
LET'S TAKE A LOOK. WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS SOME OF THE PROMISES THE PRESIDENT STARTED OUT BY... |
| 09:10:09 |

YEAH, PLEASE JUMP IN. I YIELD. |
| 09:10:23 |
|
WE'VE BEEN HAVING -- |
| 09:10:30 |
|
WE'VE BEEN HAVING THIS DISCUSSION. THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT GO DIRECTLY AGAINST PRESIDENT OBAMA'S... |
| 09:11:41 |
|
THE M.I.T. PROFESSOR SAID IT WAS $3,100 PER FAMILY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE UPSETTING. ... |
| 09:12:04 |
|
FORTUNATELY, IT HAS NOT. |
| 09:12:08 |
|
SO IN THAT REGARD, HE HASN'T BROKEN A PROMISE. BUT THEN, HOW THIS SCHIP WE VOTED ON. THIS THING HAS... |
| 09:12:40 |
|
I CAN TELL YOU THE PRESIDENT ISN'T KEEPING THAT PROMISE. SECOND BILL HE SIGNED WAS AN INCREASE ON... |
| 09:14:05 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS PROMISE IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? I YIELD.... |
| 09:14:14 |
|
THE PROMISE WAS, UNDER MY PLAN, NO FAMILY MAKING LESS THAN $250,000 A YEAR WILL SEE A TAX INCREASE... |
| 09:15:03 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT PRETTY MUCH EVERYBODY IN WASHINGTON, D.C. AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY,... |
| 09:16:52 |
|
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, WE TOUCHED ON IT EARLIER. OVER THE LAST FEW YEAR, WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF... |
| 09:18:50 |
|
I'D LIKE TO GET BACK TO THAT BEFORE WE CLOSE TONIGHT. I WANT TO CONTRAST THAT MENTALITY WITH THE... |
| 09:19:03 |
|
YOU SAID TWO CONSECUTIVE QUARTERS OF 6% NEGATIVE GROWTH MEANS, THAT MEANS, AND I KNOW MY FRIENDS ... |
| 09:20:40 |
|
CHAST WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. WE'VE GOT TO WAKE UP AND SEE WHAT WE'RE CREATING. ANOTHER... |
| 09:20:58 |
|
THE TROUBLE WITH A PONZI SCHEME, SOMETIME THE MUSIC STOPS AND THERE AREN'T ENOUGH CHAIRS, THEN THE... |
| 09:21:56 |
|
I WANT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WHAT IS THIS DOUBLE QUARTERS OF 6% MEAN, WHAT IT MEANS FOR AVERAGE ... |
| 09:22:35 |
|
WAIT, RECLAIMING MY TIME. YOU'RE SAYING THE BUDGET TODAY THAT WE PASSED, THE ECONOMY IS GOING TO SHRINK... |
| 09:22:48 |
|
1.2% THIS YEAR. |
| 09:22:49 |
|
AND HOW MUCH DID WE SHRINK IN THE FIRST QUART HER |
| 09:22:55 |
|
6.1%. |
| 09:22:56 |
|
I'VE HEARD OF OPTIMISTS BEFORE BUT THIS STRETCHES THE LONG ARM OF CONSCIENCE. |
| 09:23:03 |
|
THE PRESIDENT SAID THIS IS THE MOST HONEST BUDGET EVER PRESENTED TO CONGRESS. |
| 09:23:09 |
|
THE PRESIDENT MADE SOME PROMISE -- |
| 09:23:12 |
|
THE PRESIDENT MADE SOME PROMISES. ONE WAS NO TAX INCREASES IF YOU MADE LESS THAN $250,000. FOR A... |
| 09:24:00 |
|
THEY'RE BAD NUMBERS. THAT'S WHY IT WAS RUSHED THROUGH CONGRESS SO PEOPLE COULDN'T ASK THE QUESTIONS.... |
| 09:25:25 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. LET ME SEE IF I CAUGHT WHAT YOU SAID. WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WE KEPT HEARING FROM... |
| 09:25:57 |
|
DO YOU. CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST THE BALANCED BUDGET AGREEMENT. SO THAT'S THE FIRST... |
| 09:26:50 |
|
YOU JUST SAID THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A DEFICIT, WAS IT $22.1 TRILLION JUST FOR THE NEXT -- $2.1... |
| 09:27:01 |
|
JUST FOR THIS YEAR. ACHE $2 TRILLION JUST FOR THIS YEAR -- |
| 09:27:05 |
|
$2 TRILLION FOR THIS YEAR. IF YOU GO FROM GEORGE WASHINGTON TO GEORGE BUSH AND YOU ADD UP ALL OF... |
| 09:27:32 |
|
AND THAT'S NOT THE DEBT. THAT'S THE DEFICIT. |
| 09:27:36 |
|
THAT'S THE DEFICIT. |
| 09:27:37 |
|
THE DEBT'S WORSE THAN THAT BECAUSE WE'RE BORROWING ALL THIS MONEY THAT WE'RE SPENDING RIGHT NOW. ... |
| 09:28:38 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. YOU SAID $156,000? |
| 09:28:40 |
|
THAT'S WHAT THE GUY SAID. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS NUMBER. I'M JUST TELLING YOU I HEARD... |
| 09:28:49 |
|
SOME OF THESE -- RECLAIMING MY TIME -- SOME OF THESE NUMBERS DO INVOLVE MAKING CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS.... |
| 09:29:09 |
|
WHEN WE THROW ALL OF THESE NUMBERS AROUND, OBVIOUSLY THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY AND WHEN YOU TALK... |
| 09:30:13 |
|
ALL OF US STANDING HERE VOTED FOR THAT. |
| 09:30:17 |
|
WHAT'S IRONIC IS, OVER 100 REPUBLICANS JUST THREE WEEKS AGO VOTED TO BALANCE THIS FEDERAL BUDGET.... |
| 09:32:10 |
|
THERE'S THIS TRANSPARENCY PROMISE. YOU KNOW, THAT WHAT'S GOING ON IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THE PUBLIC... |
| 09:34:14 |
|
THERE'S SO MUCH TRUTH IN WHAT YOU SAY. I WAS REFERRING BACK TO, AGAIN, ONE OF OUR FACEBOOK FOLLOWERS,... |
| 09:36:19 |
|
I SURE APPRECIATE YOUR MAKING SOME POSITIVE -- I THINK THAT'S TRUE THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WHEN WE'RE... |
| 09:37:32 |
|
WE REALLY NEED, EVERYBODY NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT THIS. THE FIRST, YOU HAVE TO START WITH THE PREMISE.... |
| 09:38:59 |
|
JUST SUMMARIZING WHAT YOU SAID, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, FIRST OF ALL, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT... |
| 09:40:36 |
|
MOST PEOPLE KNOW I WAS RAISED IN SMALL BUSINESS, RAN A SMALL BUSINESS, MADE PAYROLL, HAD TO CUT STAFF... |
| 09:41:07 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, YOU'RE SAYING THAT THAT PORKULOUS BILL WE PASSED HAD MORE MONEY TO BUY ARTWORK... |
| 09:41:22 |
|
THE LINE ITEM FOR THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS WAS $50 BILLION, THE LINE ITEM TO BUY NEW EQUIPMENT... |
| 09:42:33 |
|
THAT A NO-BRAINER. KEEP GOING. |
| 09:42:37 |
|
AND HEALTH CARE, THEY'RE LOOKING AT A BIG, GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. MANY REPUBLICANS ARE... |
| 09:43:12 |
|
THAT SEEMS LIKE FREEDOM WORKING. |
| 09:43:16 |
|
IT IS. INSTEAD OF GOVERNMENT ONE SIZE FITS ALL. WHY DON'T WE HAVE MORE INCENTIVES FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE... |
| 09:43:43 |
|
IF I WERE TO LIST SOME THINGS FOR SMALL BUSINESS, THERE'S SOME THINGS WE ARE DOING THAT I WOULDN'T... |
| 09:44:51 |
|
THERE ARE CRITICAL AREAS OF OUR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS WE'VE PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS TO. THREE... |
| 09:45:24 |
|
ARE YOU SAYING THAT HUGGING CHAVEZ IS NOT A NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY? IS WHAT THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?... |
| 09:45:33 |
|
IF YOU START WITH THE OVERALL ECONOMY, ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS WE CAN DO RATHER THAN JUST MASSIVELY... |
| 09:46:30 |
|
YOU'RE TALKING SO FAST AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS SO GOOD, YOU'RE REFERRING TO THREE DIFFERENT TIMES... |
| 09:47:18 |
|
THE PROBLEM IS, FISCAL DISCIPLINE HAS NOT BEEN MAINTAINED BY CONGRESS. CONGRESS ALWAYS WENT ON TO... |
