Taxes. Lets get to the problem and maybe then we can resolve the taxes question. I yield back. Mr. Hoyer well, we have a fundamental disagreement because the gentleman continues to want to focus on spending. I think thats right that we focus on spending. But, again, debt is not caused by spending. It is caused by buying things you dont pay for. Or its caused by cutting revenues that you dont offset, either by cuts in spending, by cutting revenues. Thats what causes debt. Its not buying things that causes debt. Its not paying for things. And the discipline, i will tell my friend, in the system for the American Public is if they want things, for us to say, ok, you want a tax cut or you want a strong defense, it costs money. Both of them cost money. And if youre willing to pay for it, we will do that. If youre not willing to do that, we ought not to do it.

Thank you for spending a halfhour with us to talk about your 12 years in washington. It ended with the reelection of barack obama.

When we could Work Together. Maybe the single event that would and body that is the gang of 14. John mccain and i put together six other democrats and ....
Ago, whatever plan he had then is over with. This is a new election. The deal that he had a year ago, that does not count. For republicans and people to say they dont understand whats going on, i have a problem with that. The republicans deny anything he puts forward. The president left his vacation and came here. Theyre not being fair. Republicans say they are christians. Theyre not. They did this during his last term and now are causing and all of us to suffer because they dont like the president. This is personal. This has nothing to do with raising taxes. This is a personal attack and i think its a shame. We look like a third world country. We dont look like the United States. Host lets get a republican voice. Our next caller is calling from west bloomfield, michigan, on the republican line. Good morning. Caller i would like to get your thoughts on a balanced approach and have unbiased taxation by using a flat tax. That way you ....
