" Do these TPW winds that Democrats are already cutting their losses or the very least the cost of the programs of many of them have been voicing a lot of says. California democratic congresswoman Jackie -- congresswoman what do you make of that I guess is announce. Ways to interpret this but that one way is what -- raised with the Republican National Committee chairman. Is that somebody your colleagues are going to cool it on aggressively big programs what say you."
" What we aren't going to do is make good on the promises that we made -- President Obama made during election cycle last year. People voted for change. And people voted for health care reform and we're delivering on that promise. Health care reform is going to. Provide health insurance now to another 35 million Americans were going to actually. Reduce the deficit by as much as thirty billion dollars we're getting rid of the antitrust. Exemption. That health insurers across this country have a joint. I enjoyed how is it that Major League Baseball and health insurers are the only entities that had a an exemption from. Anti trust laws -- good points on time."
" Wanted to but I -- at any of your colleagues or friends said you know something funky happened yesterday and maybe we should sort of rain and things."
" let's talk about what happened yesterday we had two governors in two states. I'm about to Republicans that were elected to the governorships in two states in both those states. -- twenty and thirty years they have always elected a governor who was of the opposite party at the seated president. So there is a history there in both New Jersey and in Virginia I think the more interesting race is I'm Michael Bloomberg. Who almost lost. His race even though he spent over a hundred. Million dollars that's an I."
" Hey why congress and the last thing though is that you raise a very good one member here and -- outside. That the economy was the dominant issue in all of the races you mentioned -- to varying degrees of anger. And at at and you don't think there -- some blue dog Democrats. Who are saying. You know. We warn you that if we kept spending like crazy whatever you say about a mandate might have gotten my a year ago that the latest mandate is. Cool -- on over interpreting a year ago."
" Why don't think we're over interpreting and I wouldn't read that jobs is the focal point. What we need to be looking at moving forward. We need to continue to stimulate more jobs every economist that talked with us from every imaginable perspective. That we had to move forward on the stimulus we move forward on the stimulus. And we've seen 600000. Jobs either created or saved you know advice that -- of congress and Obama. Success that we've lost yeah no idea why that. Because those jobs have actually been tabulated. By the very entities that have received the money. -- a paper in my district school is re paving San Francisco airport who was able to say this but congress -- check it out and gotten them."
" And I respect back out of it but you know on the island home merited this and and voted the decades I've been doing this that was one way to. Did it to do how the economy is doing jobs gained jobs lost and now there's this new man -- Saved or created I had I could talk about eating a salad tonight and I'd save the town that I otherwise litigate that."
" It it is happening congresswoman you know. Let you know if it's always beat the cost avoidance when we look at lots of issues as well. You get a cost avoidance really aren't having a savings. But it is true that in my district there are lots of teachers that had gotten pink slips. The because we had stimulus money that came into the school districts. Those pink slips we're not acting Vermont and -- retain their jobs part congresswoman great having you on thank you very much. My pleasure."
