Joyce Republican senator Jeff Sessions in the state of Alabama -- -- -- need.

I while what do you think you like they're not.

Well I haven't seen it jet we've seen a little PowerPoint outlined in time and time again this year we found those to be inaccurate.

But the numbers do indicate that there will be some reduced spending not nearly enough but real reduce spending that I think can be enforced.

Maybe I have far less than half of what we really need to do to get our country on a sound footing -- not.

The debt ceiling this a big issue -- debt ceiling has been a process is create an opportunity.

For us to discuss the overall.

Debt trajectory that so dangerous for America to give us an opportunity to reverse the trends.

I guess there's some -- progress driven by the last election but not enough.

Is there any sort of -- -- into the popular presentation and as you know are into this plan.

So that day in the next congress these can't discuss or reversed we weeds -- in this mess against -- -- in the -- in terms of the tragic trajectory.

Yes -- is is really binding on anybody for any period of time.

It is finding out much you know our -- of the year or so ago we voted to declare the census an emergency.

Something is there are required every team here and -- congress is not an unexpected emergency.

So we declared it so so we could violate the budget -- spending limits so the answer is yes congress can get around this.

But He will be more of a -- -- -- And I think every American needs to watch and make sure that we are faithful to these modest commitments to reverse -- Recklessness.

Give any problem with DSL call -- this -- -- -- and -- the trigger that the cuts will come to essentially two places -- one as the military.

And the other is -- -- health care providers under Medicare.

I am concerned that C -- military is done improperly being targeted in this what I'm hearing is.

It could be much more severe on them than other agencies of the government and certainly I wouldn't.

Favor of that is that something though that would be a game changer for -- if Rio area today I think he'll be a big change game changer for a lot of people if it saw.

Com we'll have to see what the language -- -- is -- the line would you have to tighten their belt to.

But they shouldn't be disproportionately.

Expected to do so I but so -- so when that's not disproportionate -- -- Puerto Lisa as of that -- no I'm owner I'm sad that we need seven days to review this bill.

We've known this day was coming for six months.

I have warned that we know what they were gonna wait -- the last minute.

Plop down a bill that no one has -- the read and demand that you pass it because the markets might open tomorrow morning and NB unstable.

And I am worried about the markets and what we are we should not be at this last minute.

This legislation should have been on the floor for weeks the American people shouldn't it know what's in it is not -- deal deal deal it's what's in the legislation.

That's important.

Why -- ideas to 200 I think the last minute to continue resolution funds and govern expires September 30.

Maybe read the way to the 28 the point that the September YY get my -- stick around edit this week saw job here -- handle that.

Daddy's a good suggestion acted because we've got a real problem was spending for next fiscal year that begins October 1.

And we've passed only one half procreation is bill and we've gotten on twelve more -- -- and I don't see any album moving.

Very fast so really -- up again -- all piled up in one big bill.

Could have been such a fabulous forum foreign national discussion on on debt crisis and we really on this that opportune time.

So when British admission suggestive -- a bit of a stink from the senate to -- maybe should suggest that they stick around to do that one thing.

Well it's some.

We need to be ready because we're going to be doing the same position your ride and have the authority have visited that we do this we're -- stolen from -- again unless something changes we're going to be in the same position and instead they got a -- there from now the other --
