We have tried and tried we have had two measures replaced.
-- -- We go about managing them -- debt deficit through -- down entitlement programs -- -- them so we can save them but instead.
Here we are again at the end in the presence there -- no we've got to -- time.
But the same strategy Democrats they've built by the -- that we don't know if I -- to raise taxes on the rich and people are -- happy to do that and -- and that the Republicans want to cut programs which means of trying to allowed anyone who's in one of these programs as access to his programs -- you might have -- this program.
Why would ever be appealing to the person to go over the Republican winning it.
Mean we will -- -- does not -- on the issue.
There's no response whatsoever just raising taxes it's disingenuous.
Isn't so you can touch the -- and get rid of the problem and it's been a fictional I don't think anybody -- -- But I believe you know we're for -- discipline managing down the debt -- -- for a reason because we don't wanna -- Christ is to implode.

We also pass the bill now today that require planned act of the president.
You pass a bill by a date certain.
And it and -- then tell the American people how long it's taking a man is about the need to debt down and how you gonna do.
And that the American people going to be in the you're gonna see their prescriptions they're never they're a balanced budgets and -- which is not.
I wish I had ever 31 or January -- extended until March 1 the sequence -- deadline as the president called.
The Republican leadership in the house budget called senator -- -- many calls back in the -- in the presence instant about sequestration.
Not that I know -- may very well talk -- do not he's talked in our leader shortly I'm not her front I don't think speak about an hour from the president.
