the american people don't benefit and the economy doesn't benefit. and that's why the president has taken the position that he's taken. >> a republican coming to the white house this afternoon. you've said the administration isn't going to negotiate over the debt ceiling or the government shutdown. but republicans now say think have made this suggestion, offer of a short-term increase in the debt limit and if the president rejects that offer, we're back to square one. what do you expect from today's meeting if not some discussion -- >> the president has always said he's willing to talk about anything. what he will not do is pay a ransom, negotiate over their demands in exchange for congress doing its fundamental job, paying our bills, funding our government. and, yes, he looks forward to having a subset of house republicans here. our view, the reason we invited all members of congress to these meetings, it's often the case that he or others meet with leaders of the house and then find out that the decisions are being driven by other members of the ho

we just don't want them to put t risk our economy or american families' livelihood by shutting down our government in order to be able to discuss those new ideas. let's keep our economy going, let's keep our government running, and -- but let's discuss all those new ideas together and come up with some commonsense solutions. we got the impression, because both republicans and democrats in the senate were saying, they were having good conversations, that maybe there were some reasonable ideas that were percolating in the senate and for the house republicans to now come out and say they're going to do something contrary to it, even their senate republican colleagues are discussing, seems to be a reckless attempt to try to circumvent what the senate is doing, which at this late hour, less than two days before we, for the first time, go over the cliff and allow our economy to be put at risk by not paying our bills, our past bills, that to me seems very irresponsible and it falls fall short of being common sense. >> the republican point of disagreement. >> of disagreement with he republicans

comparing recent decades with decades before world war ii, the american economy did pretty well. 's the way the growth of our gnp fluctuated before world war ii. here's what happened from the 1950s to 1980. in real terms, the economy was more stable in the recent period. the success of these policies undoubtedly contributed to recent inflationary tendencies and, perhaps more significantly, to the expectation of future inflation. by 1980, they'd created a general sense that the government would back down when it began to create recession and unemployment. people began betting on continued inflation. this made the government's task more difficult. the government had to act to break the back of these well-entrenched inflationary expectations. it had to fight inflation and a belief it wouldn't fight inflation that hard. expectations are important in economics. they made the task of monetary policy harder in the early 1980s. some economists have concluded that they make stabilization policy virtually useless. according to this new school-- the so-called "rational expectationists"-- onl

virginia tochmond, see the impact it is having on families, and the american economy. a mother in her mid-30's with another daughter on her way. in threeer them cities. we have 25 employees. responsibilities running the company, a lot of the responsibility falls to her husband scott. >> i am the one arranging childcare or babysitting so she can be where she needs to be. adjustment took some time. >> it was not easy to get used to. >> i do think it changes the relationship when the woman is

us not jeopardize the american economy. it.s not heard let's not further hurt american families that have been put out of work as result of the government shutdown. i think most of us are here to let us exercise our right is what presented as for the people to vote to reopen our government and to not put our economy at this reckless approach that house republicans thing his puttingo take any number of american families in jeopardy. i think it has been made very economists, republican leaders, by regular families. two of our interest rates to rise dramatically. it would not only harm the economic recovery that we have seen were the last 3.5 years more than 7.5 million jobs were created. it would put at risk the family that just sent the child to school to pay for that education was student loans. would put at risk payment of social security benefits to those who are now retired and earned those benefits. this is 18 years old. a savings bond. a savings bond that my daughter olivia received when she was born. it was a gift for

and the guy in the street know the to risk the american economy over this issue is ridiculous the problem is people can miscalculate because remember seventy two percent of americans are against doing this but fifty seven percent of the people who say they're with the tea party are for what's going on so if you're a tea party supporter and you look at your local numbers you say keep going which is of course a disaster for the country and indeed the worlds. much more government must now shut down until congress funds it again. and just four years time switzerland could become a big fan of social security and that time ever want in the country could be guaranteed a basic income to live on. with rum play video agency to follow the story beat on to reports now from. what we're seeing here in switzerland is a completely revolutionary outlook towards the social welfare system what's being proposed by a group of swiss citizens is a guaranteed minimum income now what that would mean is that every citizen whether working in whichever job or not at all would receive a set amount of money now in ord

deal recently between car like on an apple computer it's a story of two different economies because while most americans deal day to day hand to mouth paycheck to paycheck then you have the other economy which is the wall street economy the financial the hottest economy well carl icahn can tweet about getting apple computer to buy back one hundred fifty billion dollars worth of their own stock of course that's finance with zero percent interest rates and if they make a mistake they get bailed out just like long term capital management was bailed out remember that the late ninety's early two thousand long term capital management ran into trouble alan greenspan the fed chairman sometimes bailed them out he lowered interest rates to bail out a hedge fund what happened here bill this is the out of those two outcomes either a the federal reserve bank will increase our monthly buyback of bonds from eighty five billion a month to one hundred twenty or one hundred thirty billion dollars a month or america defaults on its sovereign debt like it did in one nine hundred seventy one when they closed the gold window

many americans despair that politicians have willfully damaged the economy. andhey want what they want throw temper tantrums. this is in the way to run a government. >> it's embarrassing. this is and how it supposed to work. >> part of the deal is intended to make future budget dealing west romantic. >> more of what has been happening on capitol hill. thank you for joining me. you hear people say what is going on? >> not much has changed. we had a minor dispute with the andish over taxation representation and size and scope of government. the beat goes on. it will continue. we are taking it down to january and february. we have it resolved some major funding and debt issues. >> can you look around at people around the world and say we will not take you through this again? we have learned our lesson. we are not going to govern by crisis anymore. >> that wouldn't be true. this has happened more than a dozen times. the people in governance always wait until the last minute to make a decision. we just made it to another part of the habit, putting it off until jan

and the guy in the street no the to risk the american economy over this issue is ridiculous the problem is people can miscalculate because remember seventy two percent of americans are against doing this but fifty seven percent of the people who say they're with the tea party are for what's going on so if you're a tea party supporter and you look at your local numbers you say keep going which is of course a disaster for the country and indeed the world. much of our government must now. shut down until congress funds of ago. you know make a decision to put cia contract of sand whistleblower edward snowden on the final list of nominees for the european human rights prize has received plaudits from people around the wild his form of also however is not among them and says he dreams of a somewhat different fate for snowden on his marina partner reports. well speaking at a washington post panel discussion on a cyber security former n.s.a. director general michael hayden joked about putting edward snowden on a list that has very little to do with human rights or honorable recognition america'

in the american economy from now on. i think trust is perhaps too strong a word they can certainly hope that the american economy recovers and we think that the u.s. is the only country that is going to get close to something like three percent growth next year so i think the fact that we can now put this behind is is a positive we can now look to is this bending business investment an improvement in consumer confidence which over time ought to help support the value of the u.s. dollar because we have to remember always that currency is a relative price you can't sell one currency without buying another currency is always relative prices and when you look around the world right now it's difficult for investors to decide what they would prefer rather than the u.s. dollar we can criticize the dollar on many many fronts and we can criticize america we could spend all day criticizing america but the fact is that it's difficult to see in the short term what the alternatives to the u.s. dollar actually are there is no doubt th

and it has had an enormous impact on the well-being of the american economy.ry one of those people looks at the united states in the worse economic crisis since the great depression with a government incapable of coping with that problem, and now unable to function even in the normal ways, they are all going to reconsider what they thought the united states was, and if we were helped on the way up, we are going to be in serious trouble if that money and wealth begins to be pulled out, because they, like the american people are shaking their head in disbelief in how this government and political situation works. >> that is a big question, how healthy is the underlying economy? do you think this could have an impact and also looking forward to the debt ceiling debate, could this have an effect on the economy in >> this is a very fragile economy not just because of the shutdown, but because we have had three years of a political push for spending cuts and austerity and cutting taxes for the wealthiest americans, and that's what has lead to the politics that have

or for there are delays and reaching the compromise would mean for the american economy so this is the case for the u.s. economy this is the case for the global economy as well as for russia as we've seen before with similar cases in two thousand and eleven. certainly the main transmission mechanism is through will prices so pressure on commodities pressure on oil prices would signify essentially pressure on russia's economy and financial markets and then the other channel of course is capital outflows those may intensify further delays in reaching the compromise in the us to a place washington's position as the global economic and political elite are threatened this is certainly something that undermines. the the role of the u.s. and leading the world economy out of its current predicament and going forward of course the hope is that some sort of a working arrangement is worked out in the u.s. so that cases like that in the future are avoided well let's get more perspective now from robert she's chair of the european union think tank of the bruges group robert so if it did happen if t

let's not tinker with the american economy. let's not toy with american workers livelihood. let's get that out of the way. and we can sit down and talk about anything and everything. we have proven that we are ready to move in fiscally responsible ways. we have seen substantial decreases in spending over the last 2-3 years. we have continued to see a precipitous drop in the size of the deficit as a result of some of the actions of the president. we hope to continue to see that progress. millions of americans have regained employment. we want to have that number dramatically. we know there are a lot americans who are suffering. democrats are first and foremost focused on telling our colleagues that the president has told them to stop tinkering with the economy. stop playing with american workers lives. reopen the government. let sit down and talk seriously. will make you hopeful this might end soon? is obama insisting that the c.r. be clean? republicans insisting something be attached to the c.r.? how is this going to break down? we are hopeful because the lives of millions a

. >> we hear some members pushed for the shutdown say they were doing it to save the american economybut nothing has done more to undermine our -- [ technical difficulties ] -- >> hurt the american economy of course it has also hurt the deficit which is an irony of ironies, since the very members that were talking about their concerns contributed to the show down. >> and now that the government has reopened, and this threat to our economy is removed, all of us need to stop focusing on the lobbyists, and bloggers, and talking heads on radio, and focus on what the public sent us here to do. >> the participate was also talking about the legislative priorities that are come ing up. and he talked about immigration reform and the farm bill, which is really languishing, so the president said time to get back to work. dell? >> and libby the polls seem to indicate the american public is fed up with both the house and congress and not too happy about the white house either. are democrats avoiding gloating? >> they are for the most part. and any that are trying to get a positive spin on this is

the american economy and its hasrnational standing emerged on us. >> the american people are completely fed up with washington. at a moment when our economic recovery demands more jobs, more momentum, we've not yet another self-inflicted crisis that set our economy back. and for what? >> at least the new bipartisan budget committee met today with the aim of finding common ground on taxes and spending. good luck with that. >> i want to have a budget agreement that works for the country. i want to have a budget agreement that gets this that and deficit under control, that does right by future generations, and helps us grow the economy. >> washington is badly broken. thechecks and balances for u.s. system now look like vetoes and roadblocks. it sometimes set of america that the country is always going to hell but it never quite get there -- it never quite gets there. perhaps this deal is proof of that. there's another possibility that in just a few months time, we might go through this whole charade again. >> please, no. let's hope that we don't. where does the republican party go from her

we hear some members say they were doing it to save the american economy, but nothing has done more to undermine this economy in the past three years than the kind of tactics that create these manufactured crises. and you don't have to take my word for it. the agency that put america's credit rating on watch the other day explicitly cited all of this, saying that our economy remains more dynamic and resilient than other advanced economies and that the only thing putting us at risk is -- and i'm quoting here -- repeated brinksmanship. that's what the credit rating agency said. that wasn't a political statement. that was an analysis of what's hurting our economy, by people whose job it is to analyze these things. that has -- that also has to be the view of the diplomats who have been hearing this internationally. some those who pushed for shutdown claimed their actions were needed to get america back on the right track, to make sure we're strong. but probably nothing has done more damage to america's credibility in the world, our standing with other countries than the spectacle that we'v

stop which was placed hundreds of thousands of workers on unpaid leave and it's costing the american economy at least three hundred million dollars every day i think business and consumer confidence that live in from the city university of new york he says the crisis has been snowballing for years. now between crisis is the new normal in the economy and seems to be a new normal in our political system this isn't the first time that congress hasn't passed a budget by october first which was the deadline it's the twelve consecutive year that they failed to meet the deadline the only reason there hasn't been a shutdown for the last twelve years there's always been these temporary resolutions that's the bill for a six week temporary resolution that the house speaker of the house john boehner is refusing to put before the congress for a vote right now so there is no constitutional mechanism and that suggests some sort of constitutional crisis in a time when the economy is provoking serious conflict in two parties. and the federal stoppage is now in its fourth day and with continuing squabbles in

they're only doing harm to the american economy. they're only doing harm to the american people, and, you know, the president cannot, as he said, so many times pay ransom in exchange congress doing the fundamental responsibility, which is to ensure the that united doesn't default and pay the bills. [inaudible] i'm not sure about the comments except to say that the senator should have expected the president to express his views on how we ought to move forward. i don't think republican senators held back or republican house members held back in express how they think we ought to move forward. we need to have constructive negotiations about our budget choices. not under a cloud that threatens default or continued government shut down. >> reporter: you mentioned the administration's concern with the republican proposal. what is the white house putting on the table? what do you see as the most realistic proposal in term of getting something done here? >> it is our position that there is no acceptable reason to keep the government shut dow

before then, the american economy was showing signs of revival.to lloyd blankfein about when i sat down with him recently at the clinton global initiatives meeting here in new york. listen it. lloyd, when you look at the u.s. political system, it seems deadlocked, paralyzed, use whatever phrase one wants. the american economy seems to be coming back in a broad way. >> because it's pretty resilient. listen, the american economy, you're right, it's doing well and there's a lot of tail winds, energy, you can tick through the amount of tail winds that are happening. ultimately, it's the culture of the united states. we all had the same dealing with the consequences of the credit bubble. with the united states, we recapitalize the bank. nobody likes -- by the way, the aftermath was also hard. it got done. restructu restructured. accepted a higher unemployment rate. didn't make people keep the same employment as often happens in europe when you have that different balance between social interests and economic interests. did all of that painful stuff and

is picking up because we hear president obama saying the shutdown hurts american economy but at the very sensitive moment what he has just started to catch up but do you feel like it's catching up really all those numbers about the employment are completely completely fabricated because they're not counting those people who have given up ever finding a job as unemployed that's ridiculous the real rate is is just about double what they reported as being so the american debt looks like a doing patient is there any other possibility for it than just grow into eternity forever i mean raising the debt ceiling once or twice a year was the problem. the problem is actually when you talk about debt that our currency is financed by debt our currency is issued by the federal reserve instead of the treasury which is it's unconstitutional when the federal reserve system was instituted in one thousand nine hundred thirteen most of the congress was on break they sneaked to that legislation through so the debt is there simply for those bankers to put an interest on it and have it grow and co

number one it's in the worst form, and number two, the american economy rmped up to produce armorment for the war, and they never got in anymore. we went in war in 1917 using mostly real weapons, for example, had tanks, hand grenades and so forth were bought from the british, but we had, at that point, what, by 1918, the largest arian norment in the world. largely after the end of the war, the government started producing contracts. and it's just like -- without warning. thousands of workers were -- a state like connecticut felt it because they had so many of these. at the very least, we need a tax credit so we can carry these in case they were ever needed again. in almost every case, remmington arms to you name it, tore down the fake tries, gutted them because they didn't want to carry the expense of them. the result was by the time you get to 1939 we have no industry so when the world breaks down in europe, we're in pitiful shape. the u.s. army is something like 28th in the world. it appearses they could have a battle to a group of boy scouts and nots much more. all of this coupled

economy. how could hiking interest rates on american families be good for our economy? how could stopping payments for doctors and nurses who care for medicare beneficiaries be good for our economy? the answer is, it can't be. the treasury can't peck and choose which commitments to honor, nor should it have to. when you spin the g.o.p. wheel of misfortune, there are only losers. americans are disgusted when reckless games are played with our economic future. be responsible, finally, today, vote to reopen the government and prevent default. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from maryland seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, the president's health care plan is broken. let me read from some of the letters and communications my office is getting from around my district. my -- mike and pat in queen anne's county writes, my daughter's health care premium just rose $648 a year, thanks to th

obviously the american dollar is the largest quantity of currency in the world the american economy still remains the largest in the world. the problem is the reality that the americans can't be trusted anymore whereas over the last fifty years or so the americans have been predictable they have kept to their laws they have. paid back all of their obligations this time around in reality america did default it defaulted on its obligations to its own people it defaulted on obligations it had made in law when it set up laws and. certain programs that needed to be funded seaquest ration actually didn't fund those laws so there was a default the problem for the rest of the world is that we have to create other structures we have to create them we can't look for them we have to train them and that's that's the that's the problem for today and what do you make of what richard just said america did not default it hasn't defaulted and i believe that even if it did not i'm sorry aguilar. if you. but a default and pins money which is money it's in it's a promise it's a promise that i will exchange t

and that when pursued, at the expense of good governance and the american people, it does harm to our economy and just causes dysfunction here in washington. you know, it's a way of asking, a good way but a way of asking the same question that was asked before, which is how do we -- what odds do we set on cooperation and bipartisan compromise in the future. i don't think we would put odds on that. we would simply hope this experience if and when it's over, would remind all of us here that these kinds of crises only create harm to the american people and to the american economy. there are costs that have already been incurred because of shutdown, because of the flirtation with default, and they're not retrievable. so we ought to instead focus on making progress instead of, you know, creating all this unnecessary conflict. but whether or not, you know, this experience will lead to different choices in the future is really a question for members of congress. >> reporter: on the last part of ted cruz, i know you guys don't like to comment on him directly, but him and whoever supports him, have th

i think again, the fundamentals of the american economy or improving. this program was at its diamond of risks to the economy seemed larger. it draws attention to something, but i don't think it is behind the american economy's improvement. lou: we will have to conclude there. i will give you the final word on it. it is interesting to see right now as to where we are in this economy suggesting to me at least a week, perhaps, need a little more evidence. i'm not sure how much we can rely on government reports of their shut down, but there we are. good to have you with us. please take a second to visit our social sites. find links to our facebook page. e-mail me. follow me on twitter. go to foxbusiness.com tonight for the latest on the government shut down and how government to the how the government shut down might affect the economy. up next, accused of some of benghazi. another major network cancels a hillary clinton project. they're called projects in the business. dear, right back. ♪ lou: breaking news following up a story we first brought you yesterd

and that's one of the tragedies of these past two weeks because before then the american economy waseally showing impressive signs of revival. those positive signs are what i talked to goldman sachs' chairman and ceo lloyd blankfein about when he sat down with him recently at the clinton global initiatives annual meeting here in new york. listen in. lloyd, when you look at the u.s. political system, it seems deadlocked, paralyzed, use whatever phrase one wants, but the american economy seems to be coming back in a pretty broad way. >> because it's pretty resilient. and, listen, the american economy, you're right, it's going well and there's a lot of tailwinds, energy, you could tick through the amount of tailwinds that are happening, but i think ultimately it's the culture of the united states. we all have the same noise, the same dealing with the consequences of the credit bubble, but in the united states we recapitalized the bank. it was painful. people didn't like the way it was done. by the way, and the aftermath was also hard. but it got done. restructured, accepted a higher une

things which are running this motion to go to govern itself has already cost them american economy hundreds of millions of dollars on the first day of the government shutdown and things are likely to get even more expensive with neither republican or democrat lawmakers willing to bond down from their stance on barack obama's signature house bill let's now get the latest from sachs who is in washington d.c. for us hi that sounds so well to being done to resolve this crisis. well lawmakers here are pretty open about saying they have no clue how they're going to resolve this government shutdown the sticking point remains obamacare as you said with house republicans saying they'll only fund the government and reopen it if president obama's signature health is defunded or delayed senate democrats are saying no way that's going to happen there yesterday and today there were attempts on capitol hill to provide partial funding to the government to just partially fund the veterans administration and to the park service is but those aren't going anywhere as other lawmakers say they will expect take f

remind all of us here, that these kinds of crisis only create harm to the american people and american economy. there are costs that have already been incurred because of shut down and flirtation of default. they are not retrievable. so, we ought to instead focus making progress instead of you know, creating all of this unnecessary conflict. but whether or not this experience has or will lead to different choices in the future, is really a question for the members of congress. >> on the last part of ted cruz, i know you don't like to comment on him directly. him and who ever supports him, have they been, do you think they have driven people apart and do you think there is any room for compromise moving forward with them? >> that again, i completely legitimate questions. i think these are questions that are best answered by republicans in both houses. what we know is that the strategy that was pursued, shut the government down, caused harm to the economy and american people, kept people out of work. has kept a lot of people out of work, i should refrain from using the past tense here, and has b

predicting an unprecedented default with catastrophic consequences with the collapse of the american economy sending shock waves across the globe and doing with the financial crisis and recession was the two thousand and eight meltdown. the u.s. government shutdown is taking its toll on the president's plans as well was barack obama forced to cancel a trip to asia and mr summits the federal stoppage as place hundreds of thousands of workers on paid leave is costing the american economy at least three hundred million dollars every day hitting businesses and consumer confidence qantas leaving from the city university of new york says the crisis has been a bonding. between crisis there's a new normal in the economy and seems to be a new normal in our political system this isn't the first time that congress hasn't passed a budget by october first which was the deadline the twelve consecutive year that they failed to meet the deadline the only reason there hasn't been a shutdown for the last twelve years there's always been these temporary resolutions that the bill for a six week temporary resolu

federal stoppages place hundreds of thousands of workers on unpaid leave and it's costing the american economy at least three hundred million dollars every day and one of the not essential services affected is the national space agency which is just celebrating its fiftieth anniversary george abbey he's a fellow in space policy at the baker institute of rice university he used to oversee the international space station for nasa says there will be consequences of this shutdown down the line. there are missions that are coming up in say four or five or six months fairly critical motions or missions that robotic flights are going to the planets they have launch windows that have to be maintained and if the workers are that working and being done and so there is going to be an effect on the line this is the second shutdown of the space agency for exactly the same reason is it any different from the last time what we're seeing today or these last few days. in the last i was involved in the last one i was a director of the johnson space center and we were flying the space shuttle and of course flyin

here when you destroy the american economy and must be getting. live to back here in moscow on the way with me kevin can't crack down on efforts to check its human rights record and a huge chunk of asteroids dragged from a lake in central russia covering those stories rather. where's the trust element here because even if they even if these internet groups break themselves away or attempt to break away from the n.s.a. they have other ways of finding getting into data anyway. and i think one of the things that's really surprising about what we're trying to do is that they try to find every possible way of getting data but we all know that the governments have surveillance and that actually working with them so it's not just the united states it's governments you know if you're among what is what do we think the all those kind of things that stuff happened way before the internet so i agree with you completely but great the difference is that the u.s. government says we don't do these things and we keep finding out that they do these things and even

it impacts all of the countries that rely on the stability in the well-being of our american economy. recently mexico and brazil, the two largest economies in latin america and two very important trading partners solve there currencies lose value simply because of america's threat of the default. chinese officials have urged the u.s. to avoid a debt crisis for the sake of the global economy. just last week the international monetary fund warned of a worldwide shock that would result from the united states defaulting and stated that it is critical for our country, especially its elected officials to prevent a looming crisis that would put the global economy at risk. the american people, our economy, and quite frankly the world is hoping for better news from washington. the u.s. atc stands with their friends at fix the debt, secretary panetta, former omb director jim muscle, and all of the other organizations assembled here. we'll call on congress to raise our nation's debt ceiling and avoid this default. we urged congress to put an end to the house to our climate of uncertainty and bri
