the discretionary budget, which, by the way, is not out of control despite what you hear on fox news. neil: every time i see that, i want to go ca blewy. if you don t think we have a spending problem, you don t have to address it. carte blanche to keep it going. maya love says that s the problem. the american people will have a single-fingered digit response of their own. what do you make of that? you know, it s to me this is all about priorities. obviously the priorities of the current administration is not to fix our fiscal crisis. in the past few years, $1.6 trillion of tax increases to the american people. 1 trillion-dollar, obamacare,
president golfing with tiger woods. i have an idea, mr. president, you don t want press coverage of you golfing with tiger woods. everyone wants to golf with tiger woods. let s not the press cover it. kaboom, that s the way to pour kerosene on the fire. this is a classic mistake. people think if you have bad news, you can just be quiet and it will go away. no it won t. neil: that begs of issue whether presidents are entitled to privacy. the white house argued it s a man s weekend. suppose they are. it doesn t matter what they think they re entitled to. the reality is you re going to inflame the press rather than let them show up and the story s over. the solyndra says is another. getting ahead. get ahead of it and say this is the exception. get all the emails out immediately. there are bad optics, there was
600 billion the fiscal cliff. they think there s not a problem because there s funding called the taxpayers. the priority is the president s priority, make sure that there s more spending in washington, government is bigger and people are they control people through dependencies. neil: when you don t see the problem i think that i don t think any of these folks are idiots. i do think they may be too clever, that by denying the problem, or in the case of the senator blaming fox for creating a problem, will get their attention off the real math, more money going out than coming in. a trillion dollar more going out than coming in year in and out. $17 trillion in debt on our way to $21 trillion in debt, leaving aside trillions more in unfunded liability. say you re looking at the wrong thing. things are invented by cukes.
our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed. let s not forget one thing with harry reid, nothing that senator says or does everything he does has a political calculation. i lived with that in nevada and that s the way he does business, talk about the fallen marines and dovetail it into a statement of the impact of the sequestration and distance himself and put out staff releasing. it s despicable. neil: we asked for a statement out of reid s office. quoting, the idea the tragedy has anything to do with the sequester is absurd and unsob instantated. part of the remarks that caught my attention. these men and women were training at hawthorn and the
group has. i m not necessarily in disagreement. i don t think they have a new path way to citizenship, their bill like my bill would say you don t have to go home. if you re been here ten years and you re working, you don t have to go back to mexico but you have to get in the same line as someone in mexico city. if someone today in mexico city wants to get in line to come to our country to be a citizen, same for those we give work visas to, they have to get in the same line. it s confusing when people get into this is amnesty, path way to citizenship. i m saying if you don t want to come her for welfare but you want to work, we ll find a place for you. do you think under that plan, those who want into the country illegally see no risk to doing
