You can thank me for getting them together what this fiscal severe -- few years is that they didn't really get that much done when they work.

So low spots on -- of yours truly getting Barack Obama.

And John -- to sit down and has -- out.

The growing fears they have yet to get anything remotely -- But still coming so now it's -- -- friendly.

Fiscal superhero don't get moving.

Yes elect -- -- live with it.

That's right I I am I am suiting up and headed down to our nation's capital to save our country.

It's not enough that I presented a realistic seven point plan to avert disaster -- I think dates of both sides I guess that was the I have to bring the plant in person as if I don't have enough to do.

By processed meat and cheese dips during my work hours for those I love this holiday season and okay those they don't but enough about me back to me saving -- -- Well I've been watching tomorrow will be stopping by the capital and the white house on about a busy day but that's just what superheroes -- Now to mr.

Republican god -- -- just -- who easier to say what is party shouldn't do.

Congress in your -- -- -- taxes don't do it right.

Well I think given the deals were talking about absolutely not we -- became an on taxes when the amount of spending cuts were talking about over ten years are just a drop in the bucket.

So.

When you lost that your leader after -- committee -- assignment was what did that opposition.

Play -- that it did speaker Boehner staff tell you if -- -- a little quieter.

You would still be in X zero.

Well speaker -- staff haven't talked to -- The only -- talking they've done is to the press off the record and anonymously so -- heard anything directly from the speaker.

And look it's not about who will compromise who work for Democrats who will do what's right for our our country is what matters and right now the kind of things that we're hearing from both the speaker and the president are not what's right for our country.

We need much bigger spending cuts we can talk about -- is -- an easy part of a larger deal and it's got to be the other bounces our budget.

All right so congress or you're not adverse to revenues being part of the equation but part of the equation not one or the other and you are not liking.

The return -- -- -- -- -- Democrats because they're saying they are offering program because they want to revisit.

Three dollars in cuts vigil last year you say that sort of like leftovers it's going.

Well what we don't need any more revenue in Washington that's pretty clear we have enough revenue to run all of our constitutional functions.

But if we're gonna talk about making a deal with the Democrats and let's be serious about it.

And so far neither party's been serious about it if Republicans want to talk about it they've got to put pentagon spending on the table if Democrats wanna talk about we've got to have entitlement reform.

But the deal has to be much much bigger than we're talking about right now they're only talking about dealing with things that might resolve 110 of the problem if that.

We need to resolve this whole problem because we're heading for a real financial crisis not just this fiscal cliff so you don't.

Like the idea of of making a promise to address these more serious is his next here you want to see some numbers even tentative ones.

This year.

Well -- congress is making promises for decades and that's why we're where we are that's why we have a sixteen trillion dollar debt.

Every single person in this country has 50000 dollars of debt.

That's.

Roberts that's responsible the responsibility of congress that's where congress put us so we got to make some changes we got to make -- now.

All right well -- been -- a lot of good things up there through everyone to consider.

Congress and thank you -- very much.
