To is the reality that we shouldnt get a subsidy. and that individuals should get the same right and privilege of 1100 corporations to not be penalized for the first year. >> but as you know thats a nonstarter for democrats. thats a nonstarter for this president to delay the individual mandate for a year. the democrats fire back and say, well, why not just bring this up for a clean c.r.? why not just bring this up for a clean vote? do you believe that the votes are there that it could actually p...

Has such poor financial management systems that it doesnt have adequate transparency to be able to prioritize other payables if you will. but theres absolutely no reason that the united states cannot pay all of its debt obligations on time. but if you dont have enough cash to be able to pay all of your payables, youve got to set priorities. we shouldnt be in that position. and we should be extending -- we should be having the c.r. and extending the debt ceiling for two to three months and enteri...

Non-starter? >> i dont want to say non-starter because hes talking about the debt ceiling versus the c.r., one of the two. but this c.r. has been about obama care and shutting off the funding to implement or enforce obama care, and i wrote that language back in february of 2011. i am invested in it deeply and i think its important we hold the line, and yet, if we cannot actually contemplate the idea we would go on forever and not increase the debt ceiling. so lets make sure the conditions are ri...

Benefits, the $100 k that goes to the family for travel and everything, they knew they were kissing good-bye to that and they did it. i dont get that part. >> i dont get, really, any of it, when they talk about that theres been no compromise. because this clean cr they keep talking about is sequester-level cuts. and so, i feel like they dont know anything theyve cut. and they havent paid attention. and you have a whole bunch of people who try to fool the american people by saying, you know, the ...

House could be on board with this no strings attached temporary solution? >> the reporting youre getting is not entirely accurate. im looking forward to see what the speaker has to say. i ran out of the middle of the meeting to be here. i heard it is not a pure clean old-fashioned debt ceiling increase. it will be very limited. there will be no extraordinary measures that the treasury can use to extend or debt ceiling. the president has said he is willing to sit down with us if we raised the deb...

To these families for the loss of a loved one, but we passed another bill today reinforcing again to say we felt like this was already taken care of two weeks ago. if somehow this was missed, lets make it clear again, this should be paid for. this is one of those many issues that as were walking into this trying to lay the ground work to say we dont want a shutdown, but in case it occurs, this should not affect our military. they were the hardest hit during sequestration. they should not have to...

Gli glimmer of a solution, is that something you would at all support? >> at this point i dont think so. i would look at it and read it through and see what we have if were making progress with any length of time that one might extend the debt ceiling. im not one that said ill never vote to raise the debt ceiling but it should be comparable. the problem we have is a risk of the problem we ever is a risk of -- and ive been warning about it for a week -- conflicting the issues for this partial shu...

Gift to them in the sense that it at least allows them form a semblance of a strategy. if you think about what is the republican coalition if you can even call it that at this point. if you have wall street and the tea party and heritage together, that is pretty much the republicans telling them not to blow up the debt ceiling. that means theyre not going to blow up the debt ceiling, so theyre talking about a 30-day, 60-day clean extension, once they extend it once, it is extremely unlikely they...

Republicans on a long-term solution. >> and you know, congresswoman, everyone uses the phrase "kick the can down the road." why are we supposed to believe that six weeks is going to settle the deep, deep chasms that exist between both sides? >> well, youre right, thomas. we do tend to kick the can down the road. we can never do anything in a permanent fashion. but i do think that the stakes are so high here. the american people are so disgusted by the inaction by congress at both sides of the ai...

Semblance of a strategy. if you think about what is the republican coalition if you can even call it that at this point. if you have wall street and the tea party and heritage together, that is pretty much the republicans telling them not to blow up the debt ceiling. that means theyre not going to blow up the debt ceiling, so theyre talking about a 30-day, 60-day clean extension, once they extend it once, it is extremely unlikely they will bring brinkmanship before the holidays, that leaves you ...
