EUA em absoluta paralisia política . Fracos, interesseiros impedem cortes de gastos.
TRANSCRIÇÃO : " every day you and your side, you come out and say that the other side is not a balanced approach, and then they come out, the republicans come out and they are saying that the Dems' plan is not a balanced approach. are you guys just incompetent or what? i mean, if you can't do this, if you can't do what the american people pay you to do, why don't you just step aside and put somebody in there that can actually get a deal done? if you -- if Speaker Boehner would allow the house of representatives the vote on the bill that we sent over, there will be 218 votes on the floor of the house of representatives to pass it. he's the one holding back the next part of this puzzle piece. we are prepared dsh we were prepared for a $4 trillion deal. we're prepared to move forward. how come you're not moving forward? what's the problem, because american people are so tired of this, and they are really tired of the lawmakers thinking that the american people are stupid. you can't keep coming on the show every day saying the same thing. it's not a balanced approach. believe me, we're as frustrated as you are, but we're not going to be intimidated and give up our protection of middle income families during this period of time. let me ask you. we said very clearly that we're prepared for a full package, been prepared six months ago, a year ago.
Speaker Boehner has to show some leadership. i don't know what he's talking about. let me ask you one final question, sir, because we have to figure the threshold that we're talking about is to eventually move. the president says it should be 400,000. the republicans stay should be 1 million. what are you prepared to do above 400,000 that can get us closer to rising above and finding agreement, common ground? we need 1.2 trillion of real revenue that we can count on to fill the gap.
that is the minimum amount. well, you can get 1.2 trillion by changing the tax code. that means eliminating loopholes.are you prepared to vote to limit the loophole of charitable deductions? are you prepared to put that on the table? no. are you prepared to put on the table the mortgage deduction? will you put on the table the mortgage deduction, yes or no? i'm not going to make a decision on the next couple of days. are you willing to take away the carried interest loophole? yes or no. are you interested in me responding. because you're talking about 4 trillion in revenue but you're not prepared to put news on the table. people are not stupid i know they are not, and they are expect the congress to act in the right way. i'm not going to vote today on changing a tax code provision without knowing the impact of it. we're now a few days away from christmas. the easiest way to get the revenues is to get the rates from the higher income tax -- that's all you want to do. it's your way or the highway. raise the rates on the rich. no other way. your way or the highway. that's where we are. senator -- next time let me answer the questions. it would very nice. you've answered quite clearly. thank you. senator cardin, we thank you for joining us, and we'll catch up with you again. i am certain sometime soon. i don't know. you know, scott, it's frustrating because here we are with 11 days left in the year, had 13 months to do this and now -- come on. well, i mean, look -- traders on the floor have been watching this show. that's all i'm going to say. what's happened in this entire argument day after day after day is the markets are the ones held hostage. we're all being hostage by the people in congress. it's the people's money, people at home trying to figure out what the heck to do in the stock market as we approach end of the year and what a pretty good year it's been for the stocks. thank you, thank you, federal reserve and ben bernanky. but they are trying to figure out what to do now.as they watch interviews like we just had and throw their arms up in the air. absolutely. let's take a short break. an exciting beginning of the show, scott.
