You know why I don't think congress will ever ever ever get -- round of making the tough decisions on spending.

No one wants to risk their job to do it.

Because unless you're willing to risk your job to do the right thing I think you'll just keep doing the wrong thing the states and the lazy thing the thing that gets you by.

But only buys you -- -- many argue these guys in congress are idiots trust me they are not.

They know -- the numbers they know the math behind those numbers they know that Medicare's growth is unsustainable.

And that cutting something anything from more than 600 billion bucks -- defense each year is more than doable.

They know you have to curtail the growth of government if you ever want to get a handle on government they know it they all know it.

Democrats -- slowing the growth in Medicare.

Isn't throwing granny off a cliff and Republicans know they know -- -- -- defense budget that includes.

Spending for Afghanistan and Iraq wars at their height.

Isn't throwing taxpayer is to the -- about.

They all know this they just won't say any of this but to give an inch on the obvious risk losing a party base that can be ruthless.

My advice risk it.

Risk your job to break the chain.

Democrats risk saying slowing spending isn't the same as cutting spending Republicans risk saying curbing.

Defense spending from an unnatural high.

Isn't the same as leaving Americans high and dry risk taking off your base to do the people's business.

You look at a spread sheet.

And both that -- both parties stop spreading the sheet.

Risk in doing what is right because you know the direction we're going is wrong all wrong.

May you may lose your job.

But you will save your soul.

And politicians.

-- You know you have to sell.

And look at -- I see is so.

I -- good person trying to get out and do something right.

You have.

Show some guts.
