neil: welcome, everybody. i neil cavuto. do you ever hear something that sticks with u? it was a comment la sunday for me. >> since president has been in office we have reached the point where cutting the annual deficit in half to reduce the overallebt of united states by $trillion over the next 10 years. neil: i heard that it stu with me immediately said he justo an allied made ising the debt is coming down it will shrk

$3 trillion over the next 10 years? it is what. what will happen is it will grow $3 trillion less than rethought. that is a big difference. sa debt will grow at 21. 3 trillion that is not the t the cbo. it is not the $3 trillion decrease but $8 trillion inease may be sheikh factors in those savings but far that does not mean fear is less redink. but with washington less than we feared so no need to fear. not so fast. it is a twisted way that the senator says we're making progress. cause if you define progress then you must be

foetting yu are digging a hole consists of a. it is ime for the wake-up call the debt is getting bigger. that is like me saying i m projected to gain 50 pounds over the next decade but i am only gaining four days so i lost 10 pounds. but i d not gain 40 pounds? it could have been 50 but fat chance we would die this. what do you think that we should be jumpingor joy because thedebt is trillion less than we thought but still $8 trillion more than we have now? >> first of all, i don't want to comment on your plate neil: go for you. wi move. >> this is wasngton speak dealg with it since obama

took office. the reality is they mean the opposite of what they say. only and washington could that be considered a cut. the debt is spiralling out of control. neil: whenever with these deficits now in the dollar more that we spent with ever greasy with the deficits many argue this is theall before the benefits storm? >> there are two ways. one is mandatory spending with medicare and medicaid and social security in obamacare. second, we could have pro-growth tax reform and a structure to allow the economy to grow.

neil: your party is good at playing ese games that does little to sign onto the debt ceiling increase. on and on ro. you need what you say those. but these arehe facts the president to stop want to change the mandatory spending program. he does not want pro-growth tax reform failed wanted to have another government shutdown s what republicans had to do was a precautionary measure to stop the administratiin with their madness. it is the least of the bad options. neil: but you will give bin to take a mile andith all the nespending initiatives

precisely becaus they he ur number in bakg keep spending because you were on the dterm election emprise th you will evenally do the things you wanted in the meantime ising oortunity after opportunity. >> i don't disagree but do you shut the government down again? cause that is where we were headed. we just felt thisas the worst --he best of the worst optio. to debris' introduced draft legislation because when you code is complex.of the tax the american people need to take time these proposals and decide in novemr if

they'vwant to reelect the party that tries to bring in the budget problem. neil: nobleman who defense the spending democratic strategist, jessica, the argument you can say we will tram's 3 trillion of the debt when it will grow it just won'trow as much as we thought? is that telling the truth? >> it important to note when we do thgs that are making a difference. the deficit here is coming down and has steadily sie 2009. we have seen one of the most unproductive congress is we ha had in e early one

centuuy wi all this gridlock. neil: this was my question though. i know t deficits are coming dn. maybe there is a reassuring noon that it pil up on e president's precipitously to s it will be $3 trillion less than rates shot but it will still be neck-and-neck $8 tllion re. that is hoodwiwinking pple. >> i did not go that far. neil: someone tells you it will fall $3 trtrillion don't you think it will fall? >> yes. neil: but go up 11 now goes up 8 trillionhat hat you meant. >> you rarely hear a politician who was fm this

policy standpoint speaking to the same way you would hear an economist or someone in the financial industry. neilif you say you cut something then you better be cutting it not just saying that cut is off their rates of growth. that is disingenuous. >> the budget will be a huge issu. neil: no doubt. >> it will b something we have seen although it is not much of an issue during 2014. neil: if thas the case then doesn't at reinfoe th argumenent of little petus? that we know for both parties is a ticking time bomb? >> this focus in particular

they do a lot ofesting and messaging with people impacting their lives and certainly the focus is on alth care from the republan side but the democratic side talking about economic issues in general. in to raise the minimum wage and helping middle-class families. neil: this is from all inme groups all the way up to bilonaires' that is why it is choking our economy. but nobody thinks of that. >> certainly it needs to be tackled. they tried with the attempt of simpson-bowles. it became a political

ping-pong. neil: you are right. if you cannot bring people to the table not taking seriously the economy deulting on debt. to ruin crit rating. neil: we are retaking the can down the road hoping to redress leader but this will hurt e credi rating this ll hurt to the reputation not shutting the govern down when it is open for business. that is opinion snet they cannot get any regulation doesn'tenate that has nothingto do with the data. we talk past each her.

okay. tapes do not live. -- like. why would she go out on the lawhen she knows full well we havaccess? >> yes. is it is a situation in example of politicians going back on what they have said clearly you show the tape this is not the first time for the president said you could keep yourealthlan and the firsthe denied then he later apologized because over and over networks were promising -- shoveling the promise. she so says not of loss of jobs but the cbo just add that. some democrats privately are not pleased with sebelius

and these comments are not helping credibility. neil: she has been there througall the embarrassment's and the warnings of what was going on and the severity. even tgive all that a pass what worries me is when they try to spend the bad news that the 6 million is pretty darn terrific or those wh@ pay more who have jobs compromise tests its results are liberated spinet there are certain ways to spin it. the administration always has something to say. frankly going against something you said in the past, we are at 6 million

guys are going to lay back. either we are weary or not interested in getting anymore conflict. >> i think our foreign policy has been so flawed. and this is lacking total clarity and leadership. and he really did not want to enter into a strategic alignment. >> what would we really do? there were talks about this that there would be consequences and were we going to do? eventually if you're going to threaten someone, you have to follow up on the threats are you're going to look like this. >> that is exactly why our foreign policy has been like

this. either you sign the treaty or we remove our troops. we come back and say that at the end of the year we will start reducing our troops and we way for the administration. we are not committed to this. so i think that is a mixed message. the united states and we could've come up with stuff about chris christie. our charlie gaspaaino has been reporting about this. maybe chris christie doesn't want to run or won't run. is that true?

>> i understand that point of view. it's too early to tell. and we need more clarity. and i don't think that chris christie is dumb enough to do something to the general public that way. but what i think he should have done is come out and say, look, i am a street kid. i'm going to get back and there's if someone comes at me. but if that's a proxy for them to think that they can exercise retribution or vindictiveness, have a cultural problem. neil: he must be conservative in the state. and that it is giving him cause because the one thing is that he's no longer a rockstar. >> i don't disagree. but i think the worst situation for him is that the whole bullying reputation has been exacerbated by this. and that is what i think the concern is because he had the demeanor to be president.

>> meanwhile he is doing a fundraiser for new york governor. i raise the question that i raised with him. he could not be more different than chris christie. or you are being overly pragmatic. so what is going on here? >> i think a the latter and i think it is pragmatism. i would think that he's doing really well. neil: you settle for whatever? >> i settle for solutions. andrew has been providing some solutions and it taking on the legislature and i've cleaned it up a bit.

way and the fear he was used to up and vanished. we also have key bloggers here digging into this issue and also some warnings for those flyers who might be in for some interesting surprises. so what happened? >> you know, i had the misfortune of dealing with this person on monday. i lost a family member and i made the call to my favorite airline and the woman said, i'm sorry, we did discontinue debridement program. and that was about a thousand dollars to travel and she said i'm sorry, there's nothing we can do it all. it bothered me. i can afford it fortunately. but there's a lot of people that i think that cannot. and it doesn't come with a warning. a lot of people are talking about the we have discounted fares. do we know that if you buy this, the fares are generally high.

it's just another way that americans are paying for it and it hurts. >> they did it very quietly. and they are streamlining the to try to cut the cost is one way that they are doing it. he said that sometimes looking at the lowest and cheapest cost might be cheaper than going with debridement policy. while this is not good pr for americans, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the customer depending on where they are on and what time they are flying. you can lose an entire lane full of seeds and people often use it, again they are looking to streamline and pinch pennies.

shareholders that are angry with this. they're cutting costs and cutting corners and there's less customer touch. and maybe people are abusing it. neil: i'm wondering if a lot of people took advantage of it. >> you have to give them your information for where traveling to. two big ones have these policies, delta and united still offer them. delta offers a 5% discount on round-trip tickets. a lot of that is counted airlines, they don't offer them because they say that ticket prices are discounted in a. neil: they forget that you won't won't forget the airline to do that. i would hasten to add that you're going to remember that airline in the future. they were with me when i was down and out and i'm going to

fly delta on the fly america next time because they were with me when no one else was hurt but i could be wrong. >> as a pilot who flies commercially and privately, what i have noticed is that loyalty is important. probably such a great point. i'm going to think twice going forward. and i've been a customer. i've spent thousands of dollars with them. as have all of the viewers out there. give us a little something that we can sort of hang onto and continue with the customer service and continue with. unfortunately i will rethink it. multiple choices when it comes to travel. lease that is my opinion for now. neil: you pay pick the airlines

based on how much they cost? >> i'm definitely going for the price that you want to save money. but what kerry brings up about being down and out when he lost a family member and someone is there, you don't want to hear that the airline is getting rid of their policy. so i'm sure they have unhappy customers out there. simone thank you guys very much. target missed its mark in a huge way and this is about to get a lot worse. if you've ever invested in a retail store, if you've ever been seen in a retail store. you are not me, but you are in big trouble.
