alan simpson checked the former senator from wyoming and a a a no bomb up
quote-unquote appoint the uh... as uh... dot you again today o
cover what's up
yes nagasaki rose after veterans disability payments pieces
the the bizarre will na
like taking those disability benefits and he says it's ironic
uh... these guys who help the country
i'm planning for the country
now are not helping the country
fighting against is the only thing
i can't begin to tell you how regis is faith and that is
so we shouldn't raise taxes on the richest one percent of the country
at all
we can point to a senseless wars
therefore we should and those to save money with no any of that
but veterans
who levels were they got hurt
should balint hurley
devote their disability benefits
this movement thing i've ever heard it's it it's shocking especially when you're talking
about somebody who uh... as a senator from wyoming always
protected the rich in their taxation uh... and try to limit their taxation
uh... if you're asking anybody to make a sacrifice uh... in the name of the country it's the
people that have the money and and can do it in even if you were uh... uncomfortable
doing that and you are against taxation you should not then go to the benefits of the
veterans the people fought the country the people who your party is by and large sent
over there in the first place
and tell them what when they come back
uh... they can't have those benefits uh... innocence is not elected official anymore
uh... he's actually been you know um... uh... working um... enemy uh... at a non-profit
it pro bono away from what i know
but it would every time he says something now it's disastrous in its sole wrongheaded
uh... acai can't believe he's is still part of the white house commission
and of course that's irrelevant parlors and he is the culture
president all bomb was
designation
yeah so
let you know question that arises is these days
anything else is in the senate unifier
he's now said the social security is june ten million
uh... picks up the use of security
you know
asking for some extraordinary completely useless you're you
working enough work for at least you will have an exam money
by don simpson and his republican friends feel like
they're entitled to our money in their title to spend a day waiting in line
and that we want to back that i thought you would be cute
and and uh... i mean in a veterans they didn't sacrifice and offer this country
singapore
yes my question you michael user eighty homes and you can see that you don't find it
orders president obama doesn't love republican so much
anyone ever dare act
project there are any other
bodies disney rose one progressive after another onto the bus
well you know i i don't know if there's anything if i remember these things are structured
ob it's it's it's a lot of saying i'm not a tremendous amount of doing thus far ob
what would be nice would be to see i think it's a risk and bowls is this co-chairs that
rise that are symbols of the co-chair of that
for the first
achieved is that the president yeah um... and it would be nice to see bowls say something
uh...
that would you know upgrade clint bava va simpson in some way for saying these things
to say that wasn't our commission whatever senator simpson is saying here
our commission is not doing those things right now because we're concentrating on savings
of here what i think the deficit but we want we don't do it needs with these extreme
and ludicrous eh... devices that simpson he's talking about so it would be nice to see something
like that from balls we haven't seen that i don't know the president your presence with
these commissions usually keep an arm's distance until they get the result of all the work
of the commission uh... andy
had financing idea to political reality
right so the their promise you appoint this commission can you say article do your work
and you're gonna be independent manufactured
now if you got so many of the commission whose
it's saying these things they don't like what you're saying that you byron that was our
guest information was not an independent
yet so i i can't and he will take a huge political debate
from fox news is the five thousand tonight here
at the same time
first of all
why did you go for it
fourteen pata eighteen commission members
for fiscal conservatives
you know majority the democrats are on there
or fiscal conservatives
fiscal conservatism the way you see his demeanor you want to talk about the budget
now that means
now you don't like every faxes all you want to cut defense spending
what do i do think of a middle class
so if you're a anna
progressive president
what the hell you know four
and and if i was the president when i give a damn looked like the ones that
i don't know
fire houses and i'd say i'm not gonna let him go across better that i'm not gonna let
it go abrazos purity
on booknotes strong republican in that position is the one republican and democrat is co-chair
but i'm not going to tolerate that kind of nonsense
and i was commissioner prostrate on product actually balance the budget
and and not
bill after our veterans are over
yeah yeah i do think that but short of that what would be nice to see the president or
given a spokesperson for the president
is to issue some sort of a gag order to say that you know i pointed this commission these
people are not supposed to go on t_v_ talk and been state their opinions
they're working to try and fix the deficit whatever result they have
due to tell
tell alan simpson just to shut up you know richard ankle final michael supplies and he
probably happen
the lower house instantly think of what sort of
he's a little uncontrolled no you cannot shut down since yet by and i'm sure he's authorization
but i've seen while there he said
yeah
you can visit he hadn't sent it that's would they be doing behind closed doors and we never
found out
now we know is with the commission is going to try to do
at least as awards
fashion is an issue that you tried to do that
aliases before
before he wrote hey you know why i don't know maybe
mediocre depressed significantly maybe they'll raise taxes that are you reading maybe for
the balance
and i think just do that
something maybe it'll be balanced
but now a look at and i i have
no faith in all the freedoms that audiences
this is a conservative
well he is one person on this commission the i_ he's the co-chair the commission but he's
got another co-chair and there are no atomic democrats in this no matter whether a democrat
or republican the seams
just a really far off the reservation kind of promotion of your idea to promote
what do you know dbl looking out the politics of it i agree with you it's great image great
to ticketed for democrats to be able to go out even with whispers of the fact that uh...
that the the republicans are going to try
and to change your social security benefits of the republicans are going to try and monkey
with your veterans benefits uh... lesson and the democrats need any everything they have
in the next sixty days
to try and men right the ship in in some way so this stuff is a gift that the democrats
know what to do with it though that's different
blasting out for me
this is the main problem of online in on simple politics so that i don't think it's good you're
right about that
but i'm not even refer to the following some referred to the substance of the commission
right
but when you look at all my love politically speaking
park with whom diplomats
part and parcel man what he does know obama one oh one thank you sonya four
because now the screw
one campfire simpson include washington conventional wisdom of course i think he can't washington
will be edo
outrage because
and say he's commissioned an independent but
now we know the commission's up to you
because
it's not like the people are jack being because it doesn't come until this in on the press
because in order to run it by people and have a value added to the idea of veterans benefits
you know
and so
benefits told me alan implied you've been doing this for a long time to having these
meetings even private the commission though other seventy guys like the album brick and
mental we're not going to do that you probably would have wanted to the press about there
also
so my point is
when the commission results come out and if they come out this way that whole bond market
the says on and on that to do that
then it isn't all that that they pretended it was an independent commission
and now they want to slice also spirit
and balance the budget off the back of the middle class
within a printed out my
but that's the reality alone but now mama wants the back dot you see that
in a partisan hack
patents looks at politics
amazed by how much
overall model
uh... you know i know i think he's socks all better politics
as president
i've been to wonder how how anyone the presidency i wonder if you got lucky
the beaches but on the walmart changing two seven million times
until we were suckers of the gulf war
writes like that i'm sure this is that that monologue was given
you know privately and her closet by uh... the hillary clinton one day to what is going
on how my lesson of this guy
uh... but uh... you know i agree with a lot of what you're saying uh... and jaap
adhere to their couple of factors that come into play here with this and it's not like
a lot of americans are walking around and i think that the white house knows this
you know saying ought to know what's going on with that deficit commission
uh... this is not uh... where they're gonna win or lose what what is
great about it it are are the things that people do worry about and that is no veterans
worry about benefits and elderly worry about social security
and or anandhi other of the sort of minor thing that's really what is the idea that
alan simpson would run something by someone
uh... before talking about it i i think he's made a career of just talking about things
without running by the run in the bud people uh... so
observe one last thought who've just to follow you sent
eat you write it nobody's talking about this commission the in their country right there
are other office right that leads to my second point
which is why did you all for this in the first place in fact it was my first point
now why do you think it's offered for a life this
when this is a
issue
if that is is the real issue
but the idea that we need to have as a commission is going to talk to cut social security
ordered or to cut spending
in the middle of a gigantic recession well that was any issue you did not have to bring
up at all
but he proposed to do it
influences that with the service
which was
and that we do our work here to set up a little give you know cosby had trouble
but it was
really really dark
