the end. you don't have to be a legal eagle, an exert in this area to know there are people making billions of dollars because they are luring people -- look what they did with mortgages. forget about the stock market. when you read the website of brokers, the first rule for a broker was convince that borrower you're their financial adviser. nothing could be further from the truth. you were getting paid quickly, banks selling a mortgage. many knew the mortgages weren't worth anything. some poor unsuspecting investor was purchasing them. of course the system collapsed. all of that was done with a full knowledge of what was occurring out there. you don't have to go to the stock market to find that. you can find that in your local broker. >> let me ask you about republican support for this. i follow politics more than finance obviously. i'm looking at corker, chambliss, brown, scott brown, mccain, bennett, bond, snowe, collins, voinovich, gregg. the best shot to join you besides the two senators from
collins, voinovich, gregg. it looks to me like your best bets to join you besides the senators from maine are people leaving politics. why is that? do you have to be on your way out to do the right thing? i'm being serious here. i'm looking -- voinovich, he's got to -- he's thinking of becoming a -- judd gregg. you know, these guys look like -- kit bond, at least three of these guys are leaving. is that why they're willing to do the right thing, look good on the way out the door? >> judd gregg and i worked on issues over the time, kit bond and i wrote the family and medical leave together. voinovich, these are decent good people. there are other people as well. richard shelby and i worked together. we met again the other night to work on this more. the door is open to get a compromise on this bill if we can. i'm not interested in scoring points politically. i'm interested in writing a good bill. this is not about washington. it's about the 8.5 million people who lost their job, 7 million who lost their homes, millions who watched retirement
>> two ways. first, democrats in the senate were able to convince some senate republicans, scott brown, voinovich and a few others to vote in favor of a jobs bill that senator hatch and schumer put a key role in putting together. you have to find those areas where you can bring people over. i think e.j.'s points are well taken. the challenge is if there is vote for reconciliation, if there were votes in reconciliation it probably would have been done. the question is if there are not enough votes to pass by reconciliation you reach out to the democrats and you begin to reach out to some republicans. when lbj and the republican leader worked to pass civil rights legislation they worked together. maybe that's the president and the team now can find ways to bring a few republicans over and if you have to vote with the reconciliation vote, wouldn't it be amazing if you lost a few democrats and picked up a few republicans. it might make it easier. >> amazing.
