Yes we do have Gary Johnson Gary Johnson didn't -- -- David -- from New York.
Gary Johnson can you hear me David -- here I -- David excellent to have you with us tonight Gary thank you for being -- -- -- Did we we suggested that you might have somewhat of a neutral perspective on what's happened on what happened tonight.
Obviously Democrats saying that the president held his own.
Are Republicans say it was a slam dunk for Romney what say you.
Much ado about nothing I mean the country's in deep do do we've gotta take some really.
We all we all have to take on mutual sacrifice of -- gonna save ourselves from what I think's gonna be a monetary collapse.
So they got the two of them arguing over.
Lowering corporate tax rates -- about eliminating.
Corporate tax -- about eliminating income tax how about abolishing the IRS.
Replacing all that -- one federal consumption tax.
In this case I'm embracing the fair tax I think that's the answer to tens of millions.
Of American jobs you got Romney talking about.
Terror of sunshine.
How about the whole notion of free market.
You got both of them arguing over who's gonna spend more money on Medicare.
When we -- to have a raging debate in this country over how we're gonna cut Medicare because we're never gonna balance the budget if we don't take on these really difficult issues and Medicare is really the budget buster.
But Gary I would I would guess another that you thought they were terrific -- I'm -- -- get -- -- -- -- explain to our viewers again we're having a little different calling with a satellite from Denver as soon as we get.
-- in the satellite backing condition we will continue but meanwhile we've got a great guest here with Gary Johnson libertarian candidate if you -- already guessed.
Hi Gary I I appreciate a lot of what you're saying in fact I was kind of surprised and I suspect a lot of Tea Party here's another.
Republican conservatives might have been upset at the fact that.
Mitt Romney didn't express.
Enough talk about.
Just getting rid of a lot of the big government spending in fact he talked about keeping.
Certain spending for programs like education in full speed -- a lot of conservative Republicans not just the libertarians the conservative Republicans might say.
Hey look why we need a federal Department of Education in the first.
What.
Let's just take the federal department of education for first starters look federal Department of Education gives each state about eleven cents out of every state that every state spends.
But economists was sixteen cents -- the strings attached federal government says you have to do -- BC indeed they give you eleven cents but it costs you sixteen cents to accomplish that.
Look federal Department of Education established in 1979.
Under Jimmy Carter what has been value added about the Department of Education.
And then they talk about college tuitions tonight look the reason the college tuitions are so high is because the government.
Guarantees student loans -- if there were not government guaranteed student loans I guarantee you tuition costs would be much much much lower because colleges and universities -- -- fill up their classrooms and right now they are immune from pricing.
Gary Johnson it is great to see you get my friend he continues on by the way very quickly we got a throwback to deal but just.
Tell us who you thought 11 of the other.
Well well I do you can see this ever have been -- it -- very quickly I win the debate I'm not a third choice I'm the only choice I wanna make up pledged -- -- how -- but I suspect it has that would be the answer Gary -- great to see of my friend thank you very much from Chicago let's.
