republicans address entitlements they'll be demagogued on the issue? >> no, joe, i think we have to see what they come up with, what's their plan with respect to entitlements. what the president did yesterday though was begin the conversation as the omb director said. his budget did include very tough decisions. we're talking about $400 billion of cuts in domestic discretionary spending, things like community development, block grants, home heating oil. you know those things have an impact. but what the president has said he will not do is take the more reckless approach we're seeing right now on the floor of the house where you have deep, immediate cuts, which by the way, the president's bipartisan commission deficit reduction recommended against in the very short term because it would hurt the economy and hurt jobs. >> the co-chair, erskine bowles said the president didn't go far enough. you bring up an interesting point we've been discussing here. the president's willing to go

in the budget. he said i hate to do it but he gave away hundreds of billions of dollars two months ago. >> you and i say the president should have fought harder to allow the tax breaks to expire on billion yarz and million yarz. >> exactly. >> i'm not fighting that in this sense. >> yeah. >> but i will tell you that raising taxes on billionaires and raising taxes on millionaires will not put a dent on the medicare, medicaid, social security crisis. it doesn't even begin that way. >> not exactly right, joe. >> you'll have a hard problem -- >> not exactly right. >> moving that 12% number up by increasing taxes. >> not exactly right. you can get 2% to 3% of our national income by taxing at the top. we need to start there. you can cut 2 percentage points by cutting the military budget, which is so bloated in these useless wars. >> right. >> you're at 4 percentage points already. >> let's stop for a second with the pentagon budget. >> sure. >> if you look at the growth of

to what people want. >> you brought up paul ryan. we brought him up earlier. >> wait a second. are you suggesting we stay away from medicare? >> i'm suggesting we start by taxing the rich, go back to the december deal. >> come on, jeffrey. be serious. you know that you cannot tax your way out of this crisis. that is not even -- there is no reality in that argument. you know it. >> that's not right. joe, you can't ask for broad sacrifices when you don't ask for sacrifices of the billionaires. this is the starting point. do we have any basic fairness in this country at all? >> you think that -- >> we don't right now. we have a game going on. >> you think raising taxes is the first start instead of medicare. >> on the millionaires and billion yarz, absolutely. >> we talked about that. >> this is a scam. people know there's a scam under way and they want it fixed before you start going after -- >> come on. >> who did president obama go after? he went after the poorest places

at the very top. just like we shouldn't be providing tax breaks to the oil companies. now, what the president said yesterday with respect to social security is that he thought we could get together, as i said, like reagan and tip o'neill did. let me make this point about social security, though, we need to make sure we preserve and strengthen it for the future. social security is not the big deficit driver and we're not going to balance the budget on the backs of social security recipients. >> right. >> as you know, that fund remains solvent till 2037. >> that's what we're saying here. medicare and medicaid are the great challenges in the out years. social security not as bad. but the demographics obviously don't add up for social security in the long run. we do have to address it at some point. >> that's right. let me just say a word, joe, and folks, about the health care reform bill that we passed. because it did make some changes in medicare.

is deficit reduction through entitlement reform. everybody is motivated to do it. it's just a matter of getting -- >> hold the phone, hold the phone. >> mark just said the president doesn't care about getting reelected. >> i didn't say that. i said he's not afraid of losing because of deficit reduction and -- >> i think he's shown that. >> he'll have to have republicans on board to do it. >> if that was the case, the budget he proposed yesterday would have looked very, very different. >> no. he's decided the republicans have to go first after demagoguing on medicaid. >> yes. he's doing exactly what you said he should, joe. show me what you got. show me what you got. >> do the republicans ever really get there? >> no. >> or is this just a lot of hot air. >> we'll find out. >> they have to get there. they have to get there. that's what they ran on. >> we have no choice. we have no choice. medicare, medicaid, social security. >> yeah, but you talk about punting. the republicans have punted for the last year on all of these issues.

going to devastate america. the last two years when the democrats had both houses of congress and the presidency, spending went up 24% on baseline spending. not counting the stimulus. so we can reduce that level and it would have a significant impact in reduction of just the discretionary spending, but you are right, that we do have to go further. there's no doubt about it. >> so you agree that -- that social security is going to have to be looked at, the retirement age is going to have to be raised, medicare and medicaid spending is going to have to be slowed down. does everybody know that on capitol hill? >> i think most people understand that, joe. it's 60% of our budget. i don't think we need to scare our seniors and say you're going to lose your social security or have it savaged in any significant way. if we're smart, we can adjust those programs in ways that

>> now they have to write a budget in the house. paul ryan has to write a budget. he can punt and not write one. >> i think the president is scared to death. i think he's quivering under his desk. i've heard for two years on social security, medicare, i've hurd for two years, oh, this president thinks like you, joe. no, he doesn't. if he thought like me, he would have addressed it two years ago. every year that goes by is a year that the united states of america gets closerer to an untenable position. if he were serious about entitlements, if he were serious about helping us avoid the type of economic meltdown that japan has suffered, that ireland has suffered, that greece has suffered, he would not say, you know what, i've waited two years. i'm going to spend lots of money these first two years. lots and lots of money. and then maybe i'll get to it my third year. or maybe i'll spend lots and lots more money. come on. andrew ross-sorkin, defend me here. >> we're on the same page. >> that's all he needs to hear,
