Or are you satisfied by the explanation we've heard from congressman Paul Ryan.

Shannon you know what I'm not satisfied at all -- this and it's a matter of fact I still think that things are gonna come out I mean this is exactly why.

Bills are supposed to be posted for 72 hours before they're voted -- we're sick and tired of things going on behind closed doors and then Begin crammed down our throats at the last minute.

Last November people sent.

New members to Washington because they won a fundamental changes to how things were done and this is not the fundamental change they want it.

You think that they're gonna take the heat all themselves when the entire congress can't take that He no that's wrong.

Put it out -- and let the entire congress taking -- -- -- let's deal with it now instead of kicking the can down the road again I'm upset about that any potential tax -- we're not gonna support that and I'm really upset that they're going out there and threatening.

Our our military in seniors that they're gonna lose their benefits and their pay.

That's absolutely disgraceful and shameful and anybody that's doing that should be ashamed of themselves.

With the president and speaker of the house strapped in the back.

She's attributing a lot of power to your movement but you sound like you're not happy with the -- you've gotten so far in this deal.

We'll CNN I mean you know obviously we have driven this debate if it weren't for this Tea Party movement we would not be discussing cutting spending.

They -- -- -- find the Blake check and beyond to the next thing.

But the fact of the matter -- bit.

-- them now that this bill cuts is not enough to save our credit rating from -- and downgraded and that is a big concern.

Why is Washington not paying attention to the what what the rest of the world is saying.

All right Amy Kramer with -- -- the express on -- pitcher you're -- a right there thank you so much for joining us today.
