It's gonna get the blame for that -- ultimately from American action forum -- via.
No well I I gotta believe that the Republicans will get the blame for this -- great.
You now.
Right now it's hard to say because the house's the only body in Washington that's actually passed anything -- to deal with the taxes to deal the spending side of the fiscal cliff if passed bills and right now.
Fat not no matter what the public blame me be the fact of the matter is that the senate is it's next to -- act and President Obama in his present United States expected to -- -- -- -- to provide some of the ideas -- didn't.
-- -- look I I think -- would agree with that so if law.
It's the Republicans who have taken the heat and John Boehner is planned.
That was a disastrous piece of publicity golf that do you think that the tide is beginning to -- and our goal.
And that the president is be getting any blame.
Thought his leadership or lack called their although it's the time begin to -- -- all different.
I think people are frustrated that are looking to Washington and not seen any leadership from the president not seen any action in the senate.
You know senate -- on how to budget and and more than three years I think that that forestry businesses across the -- and it should be felt by all.
A -- -- sitting there in Washington you tell me now you think we get a deal on New Year's Eve.
Gosh -- certainly -- so another note I think we will come -- do you think we will.
I don't think that that that's that's Washington anyone in Washington is reckless enough to -- -- country out the crap I think.
That they -- has -- -- the dangerous socialist and I -- -- -- to read between the lines that you are saying.
-- yet there will be some kind of last minute stop gap the yes.
I certainly hope -- -- would be the form all of that deal what would be in just it just a broad outlines go.
While you know we can't see -- the stop -- anybody across parts react to see all the tax rates -- senate for everyone not about -- gonna happen it's not gonna happen inside -- happened so who's gonna pay more attacks you you say we're gonna have a deal so who pays more intense.
While you know went with the senate backed today and the president back today hopefully we'll see some.
Some -- significantly in the.
I don't know come on -- national central gonna get a deal I want you to tell me the outlines of that -- -- what you hoped for what do you think's gonna happen.
I'm not -- where where the president and and senator Reid are gonna draw the line from what I saw this morning at 250000.
Aware the president wants a par with 400000.
But speaker Boehner out of night last Nextel let's I was -- fifty let's suppose is to fifty.
Do you think the Republicans will accept that the house -- say yes okay go ahead do you think -- I think that we Catholic about the whole package is going to be because the taxes are only part of that -- -- -- excited and while Larry and a spending crisis and that our debt is being driven -- spending and -- spending on the wrong that beat you so you don't think -- will be any spending cuts and in a possible last minute -- you think.
I don't think that felt about -- framework for something moving part I'm not sure what they're spending cuts are going to be what what I hope is that next share update I know you're at your hotel the -- telling me we've got to get some -- last minute deal on I'd wanna know what's in it and I'm running out of time.
I know well thanks for joining -- we appreciate it thank you sir -- is this a new.
