lending authority, to raise the debt ceiling unless they see a serious package of spending cuts atochd to that legislation. i agree with that. i m not interested in negotiating through the media. i don t think that s good strategy. but we didn t ask the american people to give us the majority to be rubber stamps for big government. this is an opportunity to get serious spending cuts and controls in place how much are we talking about? i m not going to get into that because i don t think it s smart to negotiate through the media. but we want something significant because this debt situation is really getting out of control. and we re not interested in rubber stamping all the spending that s taken place over the last two years. we want to get it turned around in the right direction. i hope we spend a lot of time going through specific programs i want to ask you this question. you won t give me the number of spending cuts you want to attached to raising the debt ceiling. what
