To say we have a spending problem I had not going to keep cutting the discretionary budget which by the way is not.

Every time I see that I want to go go blow it anyway.
I did you don't think we have a standing problem then you don't have to address -- -- wants to keep the spending dollars will be allowed says that is the probably -- and just -- in the world.
But I have a feeling -- the American people will have certain.
Single finger digit response of their own what do you make of that.
The -- you know it's.
To -- this is all about priorities.
And obviously the priorities of the current administration is not to fix our fiscal crisis let's look at what's happened in the past few years -- One point six trillion dollars of tax increases to the American people one -- being obamacare 600 billion.
Being the fiscal cliff.

We gotta stop -- and and I'm wondering did you know part of what's going on here is.
The other -- very very effective at saying what the problem here with you know.
You know what they're -- but saying the effect of it saying.
That we're going to make your lives easier in the short term and we should be saying we're going to make your life better for generations to com.
My parents came to this country not for an easier life but for opportunities they want their children they want their children to be able to be whoever they -- to be in society as long as you worked hard.
And and you were and your.
