The workforce, how much harder is it going to get to reform and deal with our entitlement program? much harder if you dont havect. >> eric: do you think america is better i have a than we were -- >> bob: absolutely! >> eric: household income is down. >> dana: stock market is up. it doesnt matter if you lost your job. >> bob: if you go back four years ago, mortgages were going under, on the vernal of depression, and are you telling me that -- >> eric: its doubled over the last four years. not wou...

We walked to class together. shared the housekeeping. ate a lot of pasta and tuna fish. our desk was a door propped up on saw horses. our dining room table was fold-down ironing board in the kitchen. but those were the best days. >> greg: if you dismiss that as cute nothing, you miss the point, ladies, which is its better to marry a man not a program. obama wants government to be your hubby and suggests you are better off with a partner, not a sitter. husband may snore at night and sad he still ...

Obsessed with cutting tacks that theyre going to blow a hole in the deficit and starve the country of needed investments. i think thats where this is going to be debated. the health care debate fits into that because amazing to me right now that the republicans are claiming theyre fiscally responsible when they want to increase spending on medicare, defense and cut taxes. theyre the ones who become the fiscally irresponsible party. baracks being attacked for cutting an entitlement program right ...

I was thinking like, did they add something into the ride? gregg: no, that was not planned. equipment failure apparently caused the outage. the park is back open again today. martha: so the medicare attacks are escalating really between both of the presidential campaigns right now. the obama team says congressman paul ryans controversial medicare proposal will destroy medicare for millions of seniors. here is their ad. >> the paul ryan medicare plan turns medicare into a voucher system. >> the c...

>> and so, bruce, the ryan plan was not bring the budget into balance during mitt romneys lifetime, or what an act wactua would say his life expectancy is, yet still they say hes our greatest deficit hawk, our real fiscal conservative. what happens to fiscal conservatives on the republican side that they think its okay to just do all of this kind of budget cutting, tax cutting, and forget about deficits? >> well, they become obsessed with cutting taxes. i would like to just add that paul ryan vo...

>> over time, it brings it down. you dont get a balanced budget until about 2030. and by the way, i sort of think this is unfair. because what you need to know about the ryan plan, when you hear all these deficit numbers about how low it goes over time, they went to the congressional budget office, the people who score this stuff, and they said, assume our tax plan doesnt lose any revenue. assume, our frankly insane level of cuts to long-term discretionary spending. they bring everything the gov...

In there, automatically, beside his picture, beside his name, every single time. and what, exactly, does the ryan plan do to the deficit? >> over time, it brings it down. you dont get a balanced budget until about 2030. and by the way, i sort of think this is unfair. because what you need to know about the ryan plan, when you hear all these deficit numbers about how low it goes over time, they went to the congressional budget office, the people who score this stuff, and they said, assume our tax...
