it's become so political, so much gotcha amendments, nouts a worthwhile process right now.we could agree to return to a process that was substantive that would folks on the budget rather than playing political gotcha gains. >> people talk about tax increase, but that hasn't been shown to generate revenue but tax reform could generate revenues. >> let's increase it the old fashioned way, by growing our economy. i also think just an attitude chang. he heaps regulation after regulation on the backs of job leadership. i think getting new leaders, saying america is open for business again. get all the cash that's on the sidelines that's afraid to be invested, give those guys the confidence to start investing in business and creating jobs. we need plan, need to show those folks we're going to get our fiscal house in order here. republicans have a plan, it's on the table. the democrats don't. >> but we need all you guys to get together, stop the bickering and get something down. thanks to senators john udall and roger noon. >> they did not hug it out at the end but maybe you got s

this is the gotcha tape to slam president obama today. it's tape that they dug up from 2004 when barack obama was running for senate. the republican party thinks this make republicans look good and president obama look bad. watch. >> senator obama. >> i think it's an enormous problem. >> what will you do to cut it or stop spending or to raise revenues? >> i think it's an enormous problem. this has been the most fiscally irresponsible administration in my memory. we have gone from trillion dollar surpluses to trillion dollar deficits. not all of those costs are not the fault of administration. 9/11 occurred and the decline in the economy. what is also true is it was aided and abetted by a set of fiscal policies that i think were on the wrong course. we can take a look at example of yesterday's vote. >> that's where it cuts off. that's where this republican video ends. there's nothing else happens. surely we do live in two political different universes if that's a republican attack ad. barack obama saying that george w. bush left large defi

[laughter] >> that's a great point actually. in many cases, some of the stuff hasn't evolved where it was 10, 20, 30 years ago. and we've made investments and s be of dollars. we haven't fully leveraged it. we're trying to remind people the importance and significance of ethics. building a clear partnership so people recognize that that is not -- they're actually a partner and they can help us identify fraud waste and abuse. but using technology, finding ways to speak to people the way they're speaking to each other now, i think that's one of the big challenges. >> see, we have an action item coming out of here. thank

it is not a gotcha hour. it is not how you can sound good and maybe not follow through and do good. so i think those questions have become that much more mature, focused on the things that are important to the public, and i always take the opportunity to thank those supervisors for their questions. i will walk with them in their districts, commercial corridors, when they have been with me on any particular thing or not. we're all trying to run the city better. if we can do that, we will be ahead of the other cities that continue to debate among themselves, positions. we have a lot to look forward to, a lot to decide, and it takes civility at civil all -- city hall to get things going. just like now, we are having good conversations about a housing trust fund. who would have no redevelopment would be wiped out and we need a stream of revenue to replace that, or a sustainable replacement for our payroll tax. as ron and everyone else knows, we cannot have a tax that punishes people, while at the same time asking them to create jobs. that is kind of a crazy thing that only in san franci
