Be ironed out. Behind closed doors, negotiations are underway to get to 50 votes. For more on the latest, we are joined from washington. Welcome back to the program. Give us a sense of what is going on right now. We heard over the weekend that senator collins of maine was expressing concerns. The real action is going on behind closed doors. A lot of the debates you see to they as it relates tax bill is mostly theater. The real negotiations are between Republican Leaders in the house need to keep 218 votes. In the sen. S the senate need to have 51 votes. That didnt work when they try to repeal the Affordable Care act. They want to succeed here. They are going over various senators whoding are worried about the individual mandate repeal and high premiums. Others have concerns about red ink in the deficit. That is not sitting well with people like senator corker. As stop the Senate Returns on november 27. Sherry give us a sense of what happens when the Senate Returns on november 27. Be thursday before they like to break for weekends. I would keep a close eye on wednesday, wednesday evening, and thursday morning. There will be a voter process for the minority parties. Democrats will offer many to try to make a statement about this bill to try to point out that they were left out of the negotiations and make it uncomfortable for republicans. David could change what they hear with their views . They will be hearing a lot about that. It is making a lot of waves here. Holes have shown of the tax plan is unpopular overall. Ity 25 of americans support according to the polls. Most americans, according to that poll, seem to think that this is a tax break for the wealthy and they dont support eliminating the deductions. David Bloombergs National reporter, thank you from joint for joining us. Sherry we are now john formerby judd gregg, a senator of New Hampshire. Thank you for joining us. Could cost the economy 1. 5 trillion. How prudent isnt to get the tax cuts when the economy is booming and the jobless rate are so low . Judd first off, that is not the real number. That is a static based number. Its probably closer to 2 trillion. If you accept the fact that secretary mnuchin and makes is that the activity of a tax cut will generate revenue, then it will be something less than that , probably in the trillion dollar range. That is on 50 trillion dollar spending. Over 10 years in the federal government. It is probably less than 10 over that. Period. The question is whether the Economic Growth generated by a tax cut is worth the price of the deficit. My view is you should do tax reform in a revenue neutral basis. This congress does not want to do that because it a sickly means cutting more deductions and eliminating exemptions, and those are politically hard decisions. As a practical matter, with the cuts and deductions come out of corporations every bit of individuals every bit as much as individuals . Judd it is on the individual side. Are four major deductions on the individual side. The first is state local being impacted. The second is health care deductibility, which is not impacted. The 30 is real estate that is not being impacted. The fourth is charitable, which is not being deducted. If youre going to have effective tax reform, which means you get the rates down in exchange for a eliminating deductions and exemptions, you have to step on a lot of toes to do it. This congress and president is not inclined to step on many toes. Sherry more items seem to be recategorized in this. How accurately does the budget deficit represent the fiscal situation in the u. S. . Judd the budget deficit is a serious problem, and it will get worse. We passed the rubicon where basically there is a generally accepted believe that it is very hard to pay back your debt. That is when you get to gdp ratio of over 60 . Range. At 72 to 73 we are headed toward 90 range. There is nothing that looks good in the area of reducing debt. It is almost totally driven by the Health Care Needs of the baby boom generation as it retires. That generation, which im not a member of, is just starting to draw down on the accounts. There is no good news on the horizon relative to the deficit unless this congress and president want to step up and do something constructive, which they are willing to do. The president took medicare and Social Security off the table a long time ago. In fairness, neither candidate for president in this last election made an issue out of cutting entitlements. So it is a bipartisan problem. It is pretty dont expect it from my liberal colleagues across the aisle. They have never been concerned about the deficit. Under the obama administration, they more than doubled the deficit and put us up to 20 trillion in debt and push does. F 270 debt to gdp there was once an attempt to do this in a bipartisan way, and that was the Simpson Bowles bill. It had liberal democrats and bipartisan views. It also had conservative republicans. You can reach an agreement if you have leadership on the issue. Right now, there is no leadership on the issue. Sherry when it comes down to the numbers, it is straining the budget. We have the administration asking for another aid package. They want to offset that with cuts elsewhere appeared health this galena necessary is this when you risk delaying disaster youef efforts this when risk delaying Disaster Relief efforts . Judd National Defense is the number one priority. Distress, like with florida and houston and puerto rico, it is the obligation of government to step up. I do not think those types of expenditures should be all set. Other things should be conditioned on offsetting. Things like that should not be.

This is bloomberg. Sherry state and local deductions have been a Sticking Point between the senate and house plans. 12 of the 13 House Republicans who voted against the tax plan say those would be hit with artist repeal. We are joined by congressman joe crowley. Thank you so much for joining us. The house bill has passed and only a memos were accepted to how are the democrats trying to weigh in on the process . Joe we are reminding americans how bad this bill is, that it will raise taxes on 36 million middleclass americans. Over 25 of my constituency will see a tax increase on the average of 1200. This is a bad bill. It said it would not raise taxes on any american and give tax cuts to everyone, and that is not truth. Sherry they really couldnt promise that, could they . Joe it was a bad promise. It isnt remotely close to everyone getting a tax break when a quarter of working men and women will see a tax increase. You see the deductions that have been a limited eliminated. It would reduce the eligibility for mortgage deductions. That directly and a squarely hits people in my district in queens, where the average price of a home is well over in excess of 500,000. David is it resonating with your constituents russian mark we have seen polls that said people are paying much attention one way or the other. Joe the closer they get to the reality, as it passed in the house and moved quickly, there wasnt much time to let it sink in what the repercussions would be for the average it american. From our vantage point, special interest corporate bill and a wealthy interest given bill. They will see the overwhelming reduction in taxes. Corporate alone will see a 50 drop in taxes and the megawealthy were see a drop in taxes. That is obscene i think. What we need to be doing is focusing on Job Development and job growth and wage increase per we dont believe this bill will do that. Sherry how confident are you that your republican colleagues will vote against the final bill . Joe they are nervous about having a second vote on this in the house. Spell theow what college of california are under. For the most part, they supported this bill and i think it has counter to the in interest of their constituents. I cant figure it out. David the house version has a 10,000 infusion, does that help . Joe i dont think it did, where they have much higher home prices. California andn in new york think folks in new jersey who voted for this will have to explain to the voters. Sherry are you speaking to them . I am. People say dont take it so personally. This is a very personal issue. There is nothing more personal to the American People than taxes. If they see their taxes go up, they are going to want to know why and who to blame. David for the clock is in the house, is your best shot for the caucus in the house, is your best shot now or next november . Joe we will blowout the 1. 5 trillion by dollars. It is 2. 2 trillion to 2. 3 trillion when you add the interest in. You have to see in normans growth in order to negate that growth in enormous order to negate that increase. The instability of our president right now will drive people and that vision for jobs that democrats will set forth for the American People. Sherry you said there will be blame, do you expect them across to take back the house if it gets passed russian mark joe i think that will be a past . Joe i think that will be a continuing factor. To offer a jobs agenda and a growth agenda for the American People, and democrats will do that. Sherry thank you so much for joining us. Congressman joe crowley, democrat of new york and head of the democratic caucus. We will have more coming up. This is bloomberg. Sherry welcome back. This is Bloomberg Markets balance of power. Im shery ahn. We will go up to news that Angela Merkels attempts to put to get a Coalition Government has failed when the three democrats walked out over immigration and other issues. Germanys president has called to the parties to return to the table and try again. For the latest details, lets bring in bloombergs matt miller in religion. Matt, now we are hearing Angela Merkel is not planning a minority government . She has said she would rather face new elections then go in a minority government. This is in an interview with the state television channel. It will air in about five minutes. We got a look at it first. She really would refer to form a Coalition Government. She has asked the president to. Ut pressure on the spd he is a member of the spd party, although he is supposed to think about the party first before his party and role as president. Fpd hasd the rejected going into a coalition. Sherry is this because it would be so difficult to roll with shifting alliances . Because int is just the last election, the spd is in a coalition. The biggest parties and germany got clobbered by that the fpd is a grand coalition as a real problem. Resultgotten its worst in an election since the war. It does not want to go in to this again. The last attempted to make a coalition, when they were in power with her cdu, they lost the election so badly that they werent in parliament anymore. It seems that none of the parties are interested are working with her again. Sherry what are the key overions and differences which these politicians and groups are fighting over . The biggest problem in germany is the migration issue. In 2015, Angela Merkel open the floodgates and let over one million refugees into the country. Germany has integrated those refugees seemingly well, but there are some demands from the oft to bring the families those refugees over, even if they are not given asylum status , and there is a really Strong Campaign on the right against this migration issue that is really putting pressure on the center. That is where and traditionally been so powerful. Hass where Angela Merkel traditionally been so powerful. Sherry thank you for breaking it down for us. Matt miller joining us from berlin. Billionaire tom steyer is continuing his antitrump spending millions of dollars as he calls for Donald Trumps impeachment. Bloomberg. Ome to lets talk about the campaign. I have seen you on one of the ads, your increasing from 10 million to 29, why . The we have been shocked at response for the American People. We were hoping to get one million signatures or somewhere around 2. 6 million signatures. I think that we have struck a nerve with the American People. They are basically saying to us that we agree with you that this president is unfit and dangerous and we need to get rid of him. David donald trump has had a limit to how much popularity he has. It is somewhere around 30 . It has never gone above that. You have always had 65 of the company against him. Is it different now or what we have seen throughout the entire campaign . Tom he has met the criteria for. Mpeachment constitutional scholars will go into that. Second, we have seen a chance that he is a danger to the health and safety of the American People. Before entering the campaign it was theoretical. Now we can see his action and the market people are at risk. David lets talk about that impeachment process. There is a political component and a legal component appeared talk about the legal one. When he has committed the acts, what are you saying russian mark saying . Go back tom lets go back. You get impeachment when you violate your trust with the American People. Traditionally, that has meant things like obstructing justice, firing the head of the fbi because he is examining your ties with russia. He is definitely obstructing justice. Taking payments from Foreign Countries is absolutely for been under the constitution. This president has definitely taken payments from Foreign Countries for his business. Directing the Justice Department publicly to go after your political adversaries on a criminal basis is of struck think justice. These are clear violations. The fact of the matter is he has heavily met the historical standards for impeachment and more. It is about the urgency. It is about what he is doing that is threatening the safety of the American People. That is why we are going to americans in saying ray short voices. David you just made a number of very serious factual allegations. There will be people who will question what you have said. We have a special counsel in robert mueller, who is assigned to look into any number of things you mentioned. Why isnt that the proper mechanism . We have been through this with richard nixon, and it worked. Tom there
