Social Security.
Medicare those who thinks it really send the deficit out of control.
But it's hard to control them if you don't control the smaller stuff.
If you have these GA.
GSA conferences if you have these magicians being hard if you all of -- have all of this waste.
And let's say you propose to raise taxes people say.
Not a penny more taxes -- -- until they stop wasting all that money.
Will this be a part of it between twelve election coverage will be will be talking about this -- -- it's November.
Yeah there's there's no doubt about it I mean Mitt Romney has devoted his entire week to spending and deficit and out of control spending and -- that -- he means not just.
The big entitlements.
He means not just spending more on defense spending means not just interest on the debt he means a smaller stuff to still talk about still wondering if there -- talking about that.
You'll hear him talking about wasteful spending on on conferences and parties.
And this is going to be seen at least from the Republican side of this presidential race all the way through November.
Who benefits -- do do Republicans benefit more from from these scandals -- Democrat.
Right now I think this is a Republican issue because they don't control the White House.
They don't control the executive branch so -- we hear of something in ice or we hear something and TSA we hear something and some other agency.
The question is why -- Barack Obama stopped that how -- he let this go on so these are things that a candidate and lay at the feet.
The president so I think that you'll see is it being more of a Republican issue on the presidential level this time.
Will we see a time when Americans.
Have new confidence in their government.
With respect to.
Wasting their hard earned tax dollars I don't read too cynical but the federal budget is now over three point six trillion dollars there's enormous capacity.
Enormous opportunity for waste and all that and I think that and even if things get better they're still going to be a lot of stuff.
Good close look at the budget you'll see in this waste issue is just not gonna go away even if they fix the problem -- GSA.
