Obama care. he writes, we believe the law should be fully repealed, but at minimum both sides should agree not to fund the law for one year. a time-out that would hualt the laws most harmful effects before they start. hes been able to call the shots here which is frightening considering the position he has to the far, far right. >> one of the things jim demint knew was being leader of the heritage foundation was important. he is able to coalesce a critical mass of votes, enough that it takes to ...

Will move things quicker. senate could the take up to four or five days to get something passed. if we can take the cr, vote it and move it back over there, that would be a great thing to move in further a little quicker. quite frankly, what weve done in the plan this morning, weve taken some of the pieces of the senate version, put them in this plan and added some things. the medical device tax. lets face it, it was supported by 79 -- >> we highlighted all of the outlining of what the new bill ...

Congress. the economy is already paying a price as outside analysts have noted. there is already a cost to the economy, and therefore, to growth and jobs from this behavior. and its important, as i think so many americans believe, that it stop, that congress simply fulfill its basic responsibilities to open the government, to fund it at again, levels that were set by republicans so that we can get about the business of negotiating in good faith over longer term budget proposals. im not going to....

Sequestration numbers. this deal now is -- in some ways, i mean, framework, but the difference is theyve moved the c.r. up and theyve moved the debt ceiling back. i think it makes sense all the way around. the thing that scared everybody last night is the futures market for stock, had fallen something like 300 upon thepoints, scaredl out of people. the real question now, as ed pointed out, or should have pointed out -- >> you were listening. >> is boehner going to be able to do what hes going to...
