-- -- -- And congress -- what did you make of what Ed was pointing out here that's -- we have coming up as well.
But again it's a deal -- assets from what it would say that.
Look the president feels a little bit embolden and maybe using this.
Shortened limited honeymoon whatever you want equality he's he's not really -- an inch -- when it comes.
Suspending what did you make -- a.
Well I agree we've heard all of this before we heard this for years ago he's made it very clear.
He's going to continue to press for -- runaway borrowing and spending the crushing regulations that are destroying the prosperity of our country.
This is very much Groundhog Day which means we've got another four years of winter ahead of us.
What do you hope to deal with this three month extensive it was also dedicated so I guess we carried -- sold debt ceiling pigs around today.
On the nineteenth -- what form where else to -- -- understood but what he ought to prove in the meantime -- or dots and ordered it to get together in the main.
Why I think is a terrible idea by the -- doesn't just extend the debt limit -- -- obliterates the debt limit until May nineteenth it gives the most spendthrift administration in this nations history.
Literally an open credit card to borrow as much as they are here again stick Jerry gets I am against -- yes.
Not only that but they -- leadership is explaining well.
That does does solid ground to fight on is going to be the sequestration reductions.
While those are automatic reductions we don't have to do anything to make those spending reductions go into effect.
Which leads me to -- -- inescapable conclusion that there are planning on bargaining even the sequestration reductions.

No no what they're saying is we don't want to fight the debt limit battle we want to fight the sequestration battle.
The sequestration battle is not a battle if we allow it to go into effect would it would that tells me is are planning to bargain that -- way.
But you wouldn't have to bargain out a way to let the cuts come as they're planning to write.
-- exactly.
But you fear that they well.
Why is pretty clear that they -- they've they've made that.
Part and parcel to the arguments in favor of this open.
Debt for the next four months.
Do you think -- congress and not maybe yours personally but Republicans generally that the president has see you guys number.
That he saw you -- may be big time on on this.
Click deal.
And and he feels that he can they get -- on the table would it.
What is it the good news is they.
Republican House has twice.
Passed budgets that would actually placed this nation back on the course to fiscal solvency would ultimately pay off the entire crushing national debt by the time.
-- today's college students are ready to retire.
A subtle ways what we we know the trajectory we need to be on to avert the kind of catastrophe -- now consuming Greece.
It seems to me perfectly clear what we ought to be doing is extending the debt limit and very small increments -- -- that trajectory set by the Ryan house budget.
And when they incremental reforms necessary to maintain that trajectory but that's not what they're doing.
All right congress so watch their closer -- that -- taking the time.
It's my pleasure -- -- the.
