Page 46 - The Sequester News Today

Which immediately blasted the democratic senators in releases like this one, hagen allowing devastating sequester to hit north carolina, voting against both republican and democratic alternatives to replace the sequester. so its the start of a frenzy to prevent layoff or furloughs, or does sequester end up being much ado about nothing? the white house still thinks republicans will be forced to come around. last night the president said, quote -- instead of closing a single tax loopholes that ben...

These bottle necks and we get stuck and these sharp partisan fights and the american people pretty steadily are common sense and practical and eventually that common sense, practical approach wins out. and i think thats what will happen here, as well. in the meantime, just to make the final point about the sequester, we will get through this. this is not going to be a apocalypse, as some people have said. its just dumb. and its going to hurt. its going to hurt individual people and hurt the econ...

Discussion between bipartisan groups of senators about what we can do to basically replace the gimmickry of sequester and continuing resolutions and get back on the ramp of annual budgeting. you know, were writing our fy25 budget, and have the paychecks on the line, so we have to bridge between where we are today and this normal budgeting process. that discussion is hot and heavy right now. >> i want to ask you about some virginia politics. bill bolling sent out a, thinking if there was support ...

Table. why would woodward come out yesterday and say all this if he knew that there was an e-mail trail. this aint 71. 72, 73. you dont have guys whispering to you in basements anymore. its all on e-mail. >> bob woodward, i think, his sense of proprity was offended. respect must be paid to woodward. i think he didnt like the tone and content of this message from the white house. his reporting from his best-selling book, "the price of politics," had convinced him that the white house has been wro...

Thing that should happen. the actions when you observe, there was no serious negotiations, no serious attempt at stopping this, no serious back-door subtle diplomacy. actions seemed to indicate that the parties of quiet le okay with this going in. i dont good et it. >> i think people should look at the actions and they should condemn the actions or frankly the inaction. i dont think the parties are okay going into it. there are some members, maybe members of both parties in both houses are okay,...

Compared to this. here is what the same room looked like on the press conference on the sequester. it is a standing room only crowd for a bill that everyone knew was dead on a rival. what is the new bill? and why is no one listening to it. the bill would place a small tax of three points on non consumer financial trades. a tax of three pennies on every $100 traded in the markets. that is $1.50 on a $5,000 trade. this modest tax would have virtually no impact on most americans. it taxes something...

>> what, are you southern now? >> yeah, that means youre dead and i dont like you. i do. i got that when i went to the south. and i realized i was in big trouble. >> oh, bless your heart. >> former director of the white house domestic policy council and ceo of melody barnes solutions, good name. melody barnes joins us as well. all right. >> how you guys doing? >> were great. >> good. >> its friday. its going into effect. you should be freaking out. >> are you a little nervous? >> about -- >> did...

But the sequester is a giant nightmare. and it could have a real impact on the economy and peoples lives as the president has said. and thats what this is about, not some kind of e-mail exchange i had with somebody in the white house. >> bob, thank you so much for being on the show. we greatly appreciate it. >> thank you. >> you know, we consider you a great friend of the show. i just want to say. i really do. i think youd better write a really nice story about me, being a champion of budget res...

Republican national committee, christie will be one of the first guys on my list. but im chairman this time around, joe. the conservative organization. part of the movement. and the cpac, its like an all-star game for professional athletes. we figure out, who are the 30 people that we thought over the last year were the most serving? we had chris christie last year because we thought he did great things. but you know, we just dont like what folks have done this year. were in the middle of this c...

Congressman who voted against the stimulus and said, dont think were not keeping score, brother. cbs news was asking serious questions about fast and furious a white house safer, white person in the white house called her and screamed and swore at her. this is a pattern of behavior on the part of this white house. thats why this woodward story has extra legs because it lends to this pattern. >> i have to agree with monica. we may differ and we do on substance much much the time, but the tone of ...
