On its presidential candidate Mitt Romney blames president all bomb -- for the super committee failure.
He says the president has avoided taking a leadership role like the plague.
My next guest wonders you know what it is a time to declare a pox.
On both their houses both Republicans and Democrats.
For avoiding -- tough calls joining us now I'm glad to say Tea Party activists.
Gens sopranos that -- Talks about -- -- yeah well of course yeah and then now comes down our house is right so for those of us try to pay the mortgage go out and where are.
Because these guys had a super failure I'm not so super the super human -- as super debt security committee a at the pleasure of the president that is showing no leadership and I think that is a deliberate move on the part of the Democrats -- They don't because here's why they can not win -- anything they've got.
Look at what has happened ever.
-- -- gotten worse since President Obama took office employment has increased.
The debt of the nation -- to be downgraded the chairman absolutely inherited this recession.
I mean you know he -- knows about everything.
Deal.
The leader of the free world would US -- fully Shep hill -- President Biden -- Vice President Biden has been around since the Nixon administration since Charlie Rangel and Nancy Pelosi Harry -- since the Reagan administration who is super committee failure mean for the Tea Party.
I I agree with Newt Gingrich and I really.
-- on his point of saying like this shows how dumb idea that it really -- Unconstitutional but more shortly Liz why unconstitutional because this is not within the confines of the document of the constitution -- not delegated passports and it should not in fact.
A lot of reason we're in the situation today is congress not only delegated its powers within its own branch of government -- delegated powers to the executive office.
That is why we're suffering the way we are diving into the the National Labor Relations Board did in Canada and delegated power through the through the White House -- did you look at let's look at just the national labor relations act right 1934.
Basically what they did at that time with the congress decided that they were gonna mandate how unions are dealt with and they -- gonna let the decision female labor issues not through legislation.
By a board that's not a liberal as I worked -- the president of its take the decision out of -- they can no longer -- -- it.
Yeah this heated -- that kind of thumb on the scales you know -- reviews but.
The Olympic let's get back to the super committee because the last private meeting was October.
26 the last public meeting November 1 that in meet really -- -- get anything done we now talking to each other.
I think the whole point really here is you have to ask -- -- Did the congress want to get something on the way I can receive this is.
The congress basically took twelve -- said when nothing happens.
What links all gotten in the whole congress won't -- -- This is about blink in the Democrats they have not introduce the budget in the senate right not -- use anything substantial to help with it anyway.
To get out of your thinking is -- houses on fire and we're still smoking in -- They can't they de LA I think it's bad that I would benefit -- you that while setting -- -- are more like around.
Even the president is going to campaign and it do nothing congress won the tea parties thinking -- yes do nothing you've done too much I mean.
Product costs -- regulations right over and more regulators meaning you have to bureaucrats oversee the rules.
I mean good watchdogs didn't bark during the before the financial collapse for all that money spent on a watch dogs and the rules.
Nobody you can there's no shortage of -- of rules but there's a shortage of enforcement right and that's that's the point what happens is the regulations that started out as common -- -- OK I don't get imports.
Seven this whole idea they keep adding and adding more liars and all the doesn't agree -- government expands the ability for crony capitalism to its yeah that's right.
Doing nothing and I know everybody is allowed to cardinal anything that's not true we -- bunch of bull back the size of government the law and corruption and fraud problems.
If the government is limited and dividend last influence over every day life right you'll see last bright Agilent.
Again lessons money you know let's -- of the idea that spend money to lose money here aren't -- yeah -- -- -- you know we saw 1990 right president George H.
W.
Bush.
-- got a debt deal.
Booted out of office right president 1993.
Democrats hammer through debt deal didn't really like it.
They -- would have office are written with this super -- committee which saint Anderson fight unconstitutional.
-- you looking out for their country or for themselves.
You know I can't.
You know I hate to speak on individual character but I will say that anyone who was putting on -- table and -- economy of this not in this in this terrible economy -- our country's sovereign.
An idea to raise taxes would look.
It's just about taking from the so called rich that is -- breaking the back of the small business can't ignore.
The small businesses make up this country to most of the people in this nation work for you like the back of those guys you kill the American entrepreneur our.
I the government doing it.
UKL America -- -- to meet you.
Looking to raise taxes is not seriously out for their country to look -- appease a base that doesn't understand.
That what they're doing has been increased unemployment increased suffering and make it increasingly difficult for people put food on the table but apparently it's truly unconscionable -- -- isn't just that.
Tea Party leader.
Tents have found out how do you -- doing my -- is great.
