but the chair of the budget committee telling "the washington post" we're going to see a budget that continues to increase taxes, continues to have this. so they have criticism planned. the question is you have power. you have this new authority. put yours in writing. when? >> so i was talking to the top democrat on this budget committee. he was saying they don't think they are going to be able to get it out until may. then there's a question of whether republicans can pass it on the floor. they can only lose 5 votes in this majority right now. so this gets to the larger argument. republicans in the house want to cut $130 billion in spending. but they don't want the to touch the fence. they don't want to touch entitlement programs. if you can't pass a symbolic document of your budget on the familiar k you pass spending cuts? the answer looks like no. so what happens in august when they are negotiating over this and the debt ceiling. >> so if you went to independent voters, even republican voters in a focus group and said the president wants to cut $3 trillion from the deficit.
