is hypocrisy. but united states shares an incredible amount of intelligence with all the european governments. they share some with us, but by and large they are the net neficiaries. so when they take a cheap shot like that they should know better. he is a jerk. i think that we need to take these protests in europe with the big grain of salt. this is all for the home crowd. it is not really sincere. neil: well, there is a french political official lecturing anyone on honesty is one thing. the bigger point about the fallout on our financial credibility. what to you think of that? whether this registers an impact in that sense. >> i d't think that it will, and i don't thihink it will greatly affect. they're mad about how they collect data and how long

they're keeping data, but he put not your own free will. we used to make notes of how people got purchases together. they're doing the exact same thing. they are the best inbreed. i don't think it will affect them. neil: here is where i would respectfully differ. i can do that because you are on remote. here is where i disagree. it has been a slowdown. inroads, europeant of problems officials. they're all dumping. this does not help matters. whether it is just a fire not. >> that is a fair point. a very valid point. does slow them down. this is about what the ambassador said, smoke and mirrors. surprise surprise. america just happens to get caught. has been going on since the revolutionary war. a lot of problems.

things are really good. i think will go by car. it is is not happening. neil: and there was a big surge, as we will get into later. but having seen all of that, improving business is better than no business. >> it is, of people just don't have the money to spend. neil: what do you see? when they have the big spread what to do? >> they're looking to cut corners. they want to get people together, but theyre getting the midway package. the dj, food, more to it. a very basic party which is good, still doing business, but not near what it was years ago. neil: so what you are hearing, when you see all of this news, things are kicking. people are freely spending their money or more aggressively.

he smells a rat, not only because of the timing after the midterm election, but yet another financial underpinning of the health care law that has been taken away only leaving more questions as to how they pay for this going forward because they have to find a way. the congressman joins me on the phone right now. always a pleesure. your fears are well placed. they have to roll this thing out and they are. >> i smell a big fat rats. not just a little rant. you know, in 2010 the democrats in congress pushed the enforcement of the employee mandate back to 2014 conveniely until after the president's election. now under the cover of independence day holidays they're pushing it back again. this time out of fear that the disastrous consequences and the impact on the midterm elections.

this decision was not made in the best interest of the american people, i can assure yo. neil: let me just say this. just to protect incumbents like mary landreau, mc prior and taken. neil: that is the fear. i am going to give them the benefit of the doubt. but here is what i don't give up pass on because i am discovering that would be a crucial means by which you would get coverage and pay for it. now i am hearing a lot of young people from this was intended, they are not signing up. low-wage workers cannot afford it. the ultimate, the uninsured for whom we appended this entire health care system of ours, they don't want in on it. so now i'm thinking, how the heck do we pay for this? >> well, that kid easily be the

next leg. juneau's. further and further confusion. this employer mandate to me is much more simple to enforce and enact. prettytraightforward if you don't provide health insurance, -- minimal coverage health insurance. you pay the fine. but much more complicated and arcane is setting up the exchange. a spending in all of this stuff. and the fines of your peopl who after a 26, kicked out of their parents' basement, how in the world of they going to afford to pay these premiums? this is so disingenuous to say that it was the employers begging them to the lead. they had three years to put this into effect. now there will delayed another year conveniently to get past these midterm elections. i think it reeks of hypocrisy.

neil: something is not right. always a pleasure. >> my pleasure to be with you. thank you. neil: former top congressional budget expert and former u.s. comptroller on this latest. what you think? >> this is pure politics and the no question about that. the rulemaking has run late. they slowed down so that it did not overlap the presidential election and they're now running behind. turns out this was a complicated rule. not just whether you have insurance are not. for the individual, the individual and his family. it is a mess. but the fallout of politics is something that has bad consequences for insurance, more employers will be tempted to drop it now while there's no penalty. still has bad consequences for the labor market, a big incentive to have part-time workers which only changes for one year. we have seen employers move in that direction already.

neil: we saw evidence of that. over 330,000 more part-time workers. i would imagine that continues. what do you see happening? >> you know i am a political independent and to me this is more a political decision and operational decision. the easiest part is his mandate. much more complicated issue of how you put the exchanges, determine who is eligible for what amount of subsidy. quite frankly, i think this is the beginning of what is likely to be as series of delays because the government may not be ready said be able to operation allies this. i will say, there is an opportunity that is jt now emerging. i have been talking about for months. the opportunity for state and local governments tout their pre medicaid eligible for early retirees into these changes as a way to a cost shift and get rid of a lot of their unfunded obligations and cost shift them

on to others. chicago well, detroit well, and i expect you will see others doing in the future. neil: if that happens it would not be the first time a highly praised government initiative ends up costing a lot more than people thought. goack to medicare, 1966, a $65 million program, went up to a trillion. president bush prescription drug benefit that has gone into hunnreds of billions over what it was supposed to be. i am just wondering how much over this is to be. i can see over the years. trillions. >> i am deeply worried. we have heard people talk about a loss of five or 10 million in fines that we expect to be paid. that is nothing. if they put -- start dumping their employees into these exchanges, everyone up to 400% of the poverty level is eligible for subsidi. the work we did early on this vessel looks to be ballpark

right, you could have as many as 35 million more aricans in these exchanges, the single largest source of health insurance coverage in the united states. trillions of dollars over budget, andrew simply cannot afford it. there is only one race here, being too eensive. it will never come in under budget. neil: normallyou are an expert on these numbers more than nine. this tree that i have seen is that if they cannot get the money going to these present cost savings of the end up doing is raising people's taxes. maybe the top one or two, three, four, 5% of find out that won't cut it and any to go lower on the food chain. that is my fear. >> there is no question in my mind that this will cost more an expected. the chief actuary of medicare estimates that it will cost $10 trillion more. in fairness, most of the time that the govnment has gotten into the health care business including with regard to

medicare initially and 65 it has cost a lot more than projected. with a prescription drug it actually costs less than projected because of the competition element. on the other hand, it costs more than we can afford. that is one of the things you have to consider as well. neil: gun shop. >> he was right about the drug program. that big problem isxpanding these programs. there will be a day in the future when they realize they're not getting subsidies. they have the same income and congress will fix that problem. neil: ey will fix it by going to a single payer, albeit government system, which might have been the machiavellian intent all along. >> the only reason for the employer mandate was to make in -- make sure employers to collected their cost. >> keep in mind, don't tax you. don't tax me. tax the baby underneath. a huge intergenerational front

good news for the stock price. if you are the consumer, the average person watching, they may have to buy a used book. that can have exactly the opposite effect. the bottom line, they are perceived as visible in a china shop. consumers you that as an ounce versus them. one company who is on thr side. if this goes further than they want to make other choices to save money which could hurt them in the long run. neil: our books would get cheaper. i want to move on. when you are selling 200 million ones, and gravel as this sounds appareny analysts expected so many other cool gadgets to put up even bigger out of this galaxy numbers. imagine that. did an apple have to deal with the same high expectation? history repeating itself.
