Were talking about here in all these plans is deficit reduction. i have never seen a deficit reduction plan introduced during a so called deficit crisis, and weve had them in the past, where that plan has a 70-year plan. a 70-plan to get the budget into balance. and not even begin to get to the national debt until at least 75 years from now. these plans tend to be written over 10-year windows. sometimes a little longer than that. i just cant fathom why there would be any difficulty in completely...

Paul rye yas -- do a big concern would be if this group in the senate, bipartisan, trying to produce a bill came forward with it, and somehow it got 60 votes in the senate, i think paul ryan and the house republican leaders would reject it out of hand. >> a lot of the tax increases that you give credit to the commission for, they hit the middle class. i dont like that deal, either. last question for you, dana, nbc asked the american people, and 81% say raise taxes on the rich. the ryan plan does...
