I dont know if they think they they havestars, but talking points and they tell us and also i think they need to be checked for sobriety. Public is asked to do that in the workplace, and i dont know why it is not required of them. The decisions they make, they just dont seem to be sober.

How do you view what goes on here everyday . Caller it depends on the media source, what you are seeing through the media. The results are on the ground.

We need government, we need washington, but we can take the truth. We are smart, we are educated. We are americans, and we can take it. Just tell us the truth about what is going on out there. These talking toys just dont do anything for us. These talking points just dont do anything for us. Tell us what is going on with the country.

He has overseen the largest income tax cut in state history host a little bit from the New York Times this morning. Plainview, new york. A republican. Good morning. I would like both republicans and democrats to live by the laws that they promulgate. I will give you an example. ,nder the Health Care Act 45,000, 46,000 single can get subsidies. 95,000, 96,000, cannot get some cities. It seems obama exempted congress from this law. We now have give people that earn outside these parameters we have to give them subsidies of 75 . No one else can get that. If i or anyone else earned the amount of money that they did, we are not entitled to a subsidy. How is it that somebody can just say you are exempted . And i that hypocritical, am tired of the laws not being. Ead the consequences when they become negative, all of a sudden the laws can be rewritten by edict. I am tired of it. They have to accept the consequences of the laws that they promulgate. Host plainview new york. On a republican line.

I wonder if congress will be doing anything this year in this congress to take forward the Prison Reform good times act increased intrigue from 50es people commit days per year to 128 days per year. This would be so important for our nation because, number one, produce a healthy prison system with the cost of incarcerating these people, and it is only for nonviolent whitecollar crime. Host our question this morning is what do you want from washington. You have come up with a specific piece of legislation you would ed . E to see pass why is that philosophically important to you . My son iscause incarcerated in a lowlevel prison camp, and he is able to or dot his family anything productive outside the prison system. However, he is progressing within the system. He is a very intelligent young man, but it seems we are just stuck in that no home Halfway House can help him, but it has to be legislated from washington. Fay inll right, that is boones mill, virginia, on our democrats line. This is randy on our independents line from crown heights, illinois. Caller good morning.

Host what kind of help would you specifically like to get from washington . Caller this seems like a big issue. I have been listening to you for a long time now. Longterm unemployment. We were off by one vote. Why couldnt we get back to that, when the democrats get back from this retreat . Why couldnt the president pick up his pen and his phone, and pass that longterm unemployment . We are almost going on 2 Million People now that are out of it. Pretty soon we are going to be up to the threemonth all we are asking for is a threemonth extension. Then they can get into this in the threemonth and discuss more what they want to do with.
