mr. bowles? >> they absolutely can do it. if they don't do it, shame on them. >> schieffer: thank you both for being with us this morning. we'll be back in one empty to talk to cory booker. >> schieffer: we're back with one of the rising stars, according to democrats, of their party, and that is newark mayor cory booker. mr. mayor, let's just pick up on what we heard from erskine bowles and alan simpson. what are your constituents talking about? what are they telling you about this? how does this look from outside washington? >> well, i think there's an immediate fear. there are a lot of people, a couple of thousand dollars, which most americans will see their tax goes up, if we don't do something about this. for many families, not only in my city, but across our state, a couple of thousands dollars could be the difference between making that mortgage payment, being able to afford food and making critical investments during every month. the desire for washington to figure this out, and not to cause more harm, like they did du

mr. bowles came out today and he said that the attempt to invoke his testimony was off base and that thislican offer, to the extent it offers anything, is not the simpson/bowles plan, is not the bowles plan. it reminds me of the rap group, three 6 mafia. they say, keep my name out of your mouth. it's basically what mr. bowles said to speaker boehner, don't talk about me, don't talk about my plan, go work on your own plan. >> let's listen to another thing grover said yesterday about president obama. >> it's the president who is threatening to raise taxes on the middle class if he doesn't stamp his feet and get his way. >> it's so funny to see somebody talk about someone else in full projection mode. >> right. >> that is grover. you know, stomping his feet and getting his way and he's pretending that the president behaves the way he does. >> that's been his entire path to power and he has gotten his way because not only has he stamped his feet to get his way but he's also threatened people. he's done that here by saying that the tea party 2 is going to dwarf tea party 1, that's sending out

mr. bowles flatly rejected that connection. meanwhile, the white house is turning to campaign style messaging as a reminder of whose tax plan was chosen in the court of public opinion on election day. >> under my plan, first of all, 98% of folks who make less than 250,000, you wouldn't see your income taxes go up a single dime. all right? because you're the ones who need relief. but we're not going to be able to get it done unless we also ask the wealthiest households to pay higher taxes on their income officials $250,000. the same rate we had when bill clinton was president and our economy kree aed nearly 23 million new jobs. >> and there are reports that republicans are considering a doomsday plan should talks break down. according to senior republican sources the gop would allow a vote on extending bush tax cuts for the middle class and nothing more. under one variation of this plan, house republicans would vote present on the bill to voice their disapproval but still allowing it to pass entirely on democratic votes. >>> wit

mr. bowles, was quick to put out a letter himself saying, not my plan.t's sort of is his version 1.0 of his plan, isn't it? >> right. right. it's a plan that reflected the original thoughts. we put together a plan to move us towards some kind of deficit reduction package eventually evolved into the simpson-bowles commission plan. but the point i was making and i think the speaker is making is republicans have not come out here with some hardball, crazy off-the-table negotiation. what they have done is put something that bill clinton's former chief of staff at one time odd voe indicated for. and i think in the end that reflects that we are moving toward the potential compromise deal. >> he said -- >> i think i'm inappropriately in the middle here. i ought to be over there on the left. what bowles said yesterday was i was testifying before congress, and i described that as a midpoint between what republicans want and what democrats wanted. it was not what i would recommend. but i don't think that's even relevant. >> -- circumstances have changed since then

mr. bowles. >> good morning, chuck todd. how are you? >> i'm good. let me start with this.n't you for going over the fiscal cliff? i heard you yesterday saying it would be catastrophic, but let me read you estimates. we go over the cliff, we suddenly have -- we're basically taking in as much money as we're spending over a five-year period. yes, the economy is in bad shape in 2013 but by 2018 we'd have a debt to gdp ratio of 1.1%. isn't this simpson-bowles on steroids? >> you know, it's no different than what happened over in the uk, in my opinion. they had a similar proposal to what we proposed with dollar revenue and $3 worth of spending cuts. they had a cost benefit analysis they did on all the spending programs, they raised the retirement age. they slowed the rate of growth of health care and they tried to get to balance in four or five years. and we thought at the time the debt was too much too quick that amount of austerity would really, you know, lead to a recession. that's why we had as our number one priority in our program that we didn't want to do anything to disr

mr. bowles testified before the super committee last year and testified at that time. republicans say that their current model is modeled after that offer. the simpson-bowles model has gone on lot of talk in the last two years. it is proposed on democrats in these discussions. on the revenue side, but $800 billion that they are offering, that is the same of what speaker john vader, offered the president in their negotiations -- speaker john boehner offered the president in their negotiations in 2011. the white house has consistently signaled a loss of of weeks that they will not accept any deal that keeps tax rates for the wealthy. >> russell burma is a staff writer for the hill. thank you. >> thank you. >> and you can go to our website c-span.org to read the letter that the president wrote to house rubble can survey. it was signed by house speaker john vader, majority leader eric cantor, and four others. a group of retired military officers and business leaders recently released a report outlining ways to decrease u.s. dependence on oil. the group today posted eighth d

mr. bowles when he was testifying before the super committee.his is meant for both sides to feel pain. the idea from john boehner is, look, let's pass some sort of agreement where we'll do a down payment between now and january 1st and then these will be the numbers that the committees on capitol hill work towards in terms of having sizable deficit reduction. >> here is the problem, luke. how is it possible that speaker boehner puts on the table $150 billion less than he considered conceding during the grand bargain negotiations? did the last year not happen? >> reporter: what you're seeing here is a proposal by speaker boehner with the $800 billion in revenue which is where they were during -- >> you're trying to stifle yourself from laughing, luke. >> reporter: i'm not. i think one interesting points here in terms of the letter is that the first line is, dear mr. president, after a status quo election, and if you talk to folks at the white house, they don't view it as a status quo election. they thought what they had was a huge victory, and th

mr. bowles indicated that. others have indicated that. the situation has changed. it's dynamic in the sense that it's not a situation we're confronting in 2011. but this is an important discussion because it really requires us to come to make a commonsense math decision. not an ideological decision driven by debate about spending or taxes, but on how we have a budget that is a sustainable budget for our kids and our grandkids and for our country over the long term. i think that's what this discussion ought to be about and if it is, i think we can get this challenge resolved and americans and america will say finally, finally those representatives we sent to washington have sat down together with one another and made sense. again, i want to say to the gentleman, i can't read it either. and you certainly can't read it from there, but you can see perhaps the five lines here and then the very long lines the president has proposed in terms of cuts and revenues. i think if you're expecting the president to come and say, well, we can get your $800 billion, this way, that

mr. bowles has said. they basically call it the erskine bowles plan. that's what he suggested. how the tax rates wouldn't go up, but the deductions would be eliminated. he would have a simpler, more flat tax system. you would bring in $800 billion more in revenue. they would use this revenue to help reduce our deficit. that's the kind of plan that's serious. but the president has hammered the house plan. secretary geithner says it is unacceptable. but it's erskine bowles' plan, that's what it was. it was a serious good-faith attempt to reach out and deal with this crisis. i don't believe we need tax increases in it, but if we do we have to ask ourselves where are we going to apply them? what are we going to do with them that puts the country on a sound path for the future so our children are not having ever larger amounts of debt accruing every month, every year that goes by. so again, if the president's plan were accepted and the $1.6 trillion in new taxes were imposed, which i don't believe will happen, you would have virtually no reduction in the total debt accruing over ten

mr. bowles quickly put out a statement denying that, giving the white house an opportunity to gloat and question the republican seriousness in all of this. here at the white house, the president will meet with half a dozen governors and discuss fiscal cliff issues. those governors may ask for resolution fearing political blowback at home. >> major, last night was the can you think -- congressional christmas party at the white house. >> reporter: sources tell me the speaker was here last night for the holiday event but did not stand in line for a picture with the president. no handshake, no talks. speaker boehner's office says he has plenty of pictures with the president. >> major garretht, thank you. >>> now to the middle east. iran claims it shot down an american drone. the head of its navy says the unmanned surveillance plane is in iran's possession. the u.s. navy spokesman says no american drones are missing in the middle east. >> however if it's true this would be the third incident in one year involving iran and american drones. retired general richard myers, former chairman of the joint ch

mr. bowles on. he was in front of the super committee.roposal on the table. >> as you know yesterday he said the circumstances have changed. >> i know he was right in front of me as co-chairman of the super committee and he put it on the table. if he wants to take it off the table, so be it. the fact of the matter is go and review the transcript and the tape. this was an erskine bowles proposal. he may want to put it up for adoption, i don't know. >> let me clarify for a moment. he is not claim iing he never presented it to you. what he's claiming is that circumstances now have changed is what he says in his statement that he has now released. >> the circumstance that is have changed is that under president obama we have our fourth trillion dollar deficit and it is spending driven. until the president puts any kind of spending reductions on the table, all this talk of tax increases, you can give the president every job and tax increase he is asking for. ultimately middle income americans will get sockd with a tax increase beyond recogniti
