[applause] annpr's reporting of the intersection of money and politics in the health-care debate impressed the judges for propelling its medium into a new realm of explanatory journalism. it all started with a picture that they took at healthcare markup. >> we had no idea how big a splash a photo could make. through e-mails, tweets, and comments, people in washington and around the country said they had never seen anything like it -- a shot of the lobbyists watching the first congressional committee to watch a health-care bill. we asked you to help identify the lobbyists. it is a trick of modern reporting called crowds sourcing -- crowdsourcing. we have now identified 16 people in the photo. just as interesting as the

i'm told, joan, that in europe, when they bail somebody out, they blow it all the big shots are gone.e you take a dollar or a pound or a franc from the government, the deal is,çóñr yo. nobody stays. let's look at it here's the president, completely shot down republican claims that the reform bill would translate into endless taxpayer bailout. that's the frank luntz talking point. what a victory for frank luntz, the president of the united states has to go to cooper union and respond to your talking points, here's the president taking on luntz-y. >> what's not legitimate is to suggest that somehow the legislation being proposed is going to encourage future taxpayer bailouts. as some have claimed. that makes for a good sound byte, but it's not factually accurate. it is not true. a vote for reform is a vote to put a stop to taxpayer-funded bailouts. that's the truth. end of story. and nobody should be fooled in this debate. >> well, joan, somewhere, somewhere, frank luntz, he's in england, i guess is having a thrill going through his brain right now. because he has concocted a phrase, "e

the decision came to the wire with an 11 hour negotiating and compromising the gon joan harris joinsugh. >> good morning to you. >> long day and long week for you to push this through. let's talk about what made it through. you wanted to strengthen the laws and make sentences longer 20 years. didn't quite get 20 years but 15 years. >> it's a considerable victory. we want to thank all of viewers to do what they do to get their voices heard. it made a difference. >> the law currently would mean that they would only serve a mandatory sentence of 5 years. now the sex offenders are there for 15 years. >> the way the law is 5 to 20 years. now the judge can sentence them from 15 years to life without parole and no good time credits. >> that was another big thing. a lot of sex offenders were able to get out because of the these credits. that won't happen anymore. >> they could earn up to 10 good credits and up more. >> another thing was to strengthen how state can communicate with each other about who is on the sex offender registry which sounds like that would be a big help. >> absolutely,

the next phone call as we talk about the vat tax is john in georgia -- excuse me, joan, you are on the air. caller: when you add in all the legal -- all the legillegals, green cards, visa -- they do not pay american taxes, but they're also receiving federal benefits. if they had to pay the vat tax, just think about the billions of dollars we would get in five years. host: next up is a call from detroit, michigan. this is paul. you are on the air. we learned earlier that michigan has a business person of this that it instituted in the last decade. do you have any experience with it? caller: i have never supported any tax from the time i started voting at age 18. i have never supported any type of tax. if you continue to pay taxes, if we did the same thing in this appropriation that the government has been doing, we wen-- i do favor taxing the corporations and the house and the senators. also, i believe that in order for us to stop all this, we need to go to the federal courts. we need to sue the government to stop this taxation. we need to go to our tribal tax court's. i would like to m

akron, ohio, joan of the democrats' line but caller: how are you this morning? i think the republicans have a large problem and america has an even larger problem for the simple fact that you want to keep on blaming the president. where was your president when they sold the money is out of the savings and loan? who were in -- where was the president when they stole all of your money, your retirement money from enron, where were the tea partiers. they will not have a bipartisan bills of the already said they was not going to vote for nothing. mccain and the house already said they are not going to do anything. what part of don't do nothing and leave us at the behest of any retarded people to come down the line and it is sick what is going on with the united states. host: what we talking about with the "roll call" reporter about the climate change building put on hold. there is a graph over here of all of the work senator kerry has put into this bill. the senator has invested more time than any other senator on the climate and energy bill. over 270 meetings and ph

>> if i see no enthusiastic takers of the question, i will give back back to joan aspe before, i didn't get to pick the gentleman from eleanor will have the final question. >> thank you, mr. chairman. my last question was one of the things i hear to my constituent service folks in my district is that people who have been trying to get, a number of them have been approved for the temperate modifications while unemployed and on unemployment insurance. but then they are disapproved for permanent modifications because they don't have implement. can someone explain to me why you would be able to get into a temporary and not full modifications? and should we be using the same criteria? >> yes. and there's a change in a program, so the only way i believe that that could potentially happen is if in establishing that customer into a trial modification, we ask what their income was, but maybe not the source of their income. and we verbally verified that they could meet the requirements, put him in a trial modification. than once we got documentation of income and understood the length of time tha

host: joan, i'm sorry.caller: i just wanted to mack a comment about the followup to the lady who indicated they was a member of the tea party. they just don't seem to understand that the loans -- and i know that they mean african-americans when they talk about the fannie mae and freddie mac. those institutions, one of them was started in the 1930's, and the other one was started in the 1970's. and they were started primarily to benefit whites. and bringing it up to today, when african-americans went into those mortgage countries, places like that, they did not hold those lenders. those people decide that had they should make money by the amount of amount of loans that they wrote. and they did what was was necessary to keep up the volume of loans that they wrote, even to the point of cutting and pasting information from a good application on to a bad application. now, how can a person be responsesible for what happens after they had signed the application and the mortgage lener then finagles with the applica

the united states, larry somers, to the people that are looking at this economy and believing that joan maynard keynes had answers. he had answers, but they were the wrong ones. we need to reduce the debt, redeuce the spending and only when we do that can we have a free market economy that will work its way out of this and let us be able to pay the interest and pay down the debt so that this economy can finally get around to the side where it's not constantly burdened servicing interest and debt as opposed to the legitimate functions of government. we did have two or three years where we had a balanced budget. there are some reasons for that i'll give bill clinton a little credit and i i'll give the republican congress a lot of credit. they decided to choke spending down and they did that. i think also, though, the economy outgrew their predictions and so they were a bit surprised when they balanced the budget. i think bill clinton was surprised when the budget came balanced. those are the happenstances of history. we need to be more prudent that than that, even. this debt commission th
