Themselves in the spotlight and raise money for another political run? >> i think they genuinely believes in their position. but it doesnt get to the core issues, which is getting our deficit and debt under control. if you want to get that under control, youve got to make proposals that will actually adjust the way our entitlements are growing and reduce the rate in which theyre growing. the good news is were no longer talking about the issue of whether or not youre going to kill obama care of a...

Developed country. we cant afford it and we arent going to be competitive if it keeps going this way. >> do you believe we dont have a debt and deficit problem? >> no. i think his point is when you look and see the big charts where the big red looming debt into the future, i always want to ask people, draw the line on what part of that is medicare. what part of that is health care costs. and weve seen that in terms of wage deflation when our wages dont cover. thats because health care costs have...

>> well, ive said all along a lot of the things that have been discussed very openly on the floor of the senate, things like health savings accounts, reconnecting the consumer to the cost of health care, doing things with flexible savings accounts that were modified in obama care. i think we havent done enough cost containment of health care. the president has said over and over again, we dont have a debt and deficit problem, we have a health care problem. we pay too much. we think by the end of...

Room. the president didnt say yes, didnt say no. it wases a useful hour and however many minutes to the clarify where the parties stood. these are serious times. we have a huge deficit problem, a huge spending problem. it shouldnt have gotten though critical state before we got a negotiation with the president. it would have been nicer to avoid the crisis. this isnt a good way to operate. coming out of it, you are seeing progress. at least the staffs and leaders will be discussing into tonight. ...

Would like to get your lobbies to collapse to the u.s. it seems and sounds like there are a lot of people in the senate, not just the ted yohos. i use my time on television to say ted yoho. richard burr, people who are not rowdy members of congress, are not speak income terms, and suggesting its not all that bad. >> i havent heard any of my republican colleagues to suggest it may be okay to default on our debt. what is totally unacceptable is for the president to think he should be the first pre...

I dont regret having entered into those negotiations, and we came fairly close. whenever i see john boehner to this day, i still say, should have taken the deal i offered you back then. which would have dealt with our long-term deficit problem, would not have impeded growth as much, would have really boosted confidence. at that time, i think house republicans had just taken over. they were thinking, you know, we dont have to compromise. we came pretty close to default. we saw the impact of that....
