in my state of arizona, 72% increase. why is it so?f reasons, but one of which both you and dave camp agreed on. it is a richer benefit. how did it get that way? because the federal government would mandate it under your legislation in the insurance exchanges, and as a result, there would be a higher cost. how does this happen? there is an actuarial requirement of 67% value in exchange for the least costly plan, but the average in the country today of a high dedu deductible plan is 48%. the range is 40% to 80% and the average is between 55% and 60%. so what the government is doing here is saying we're going to mandate that the insurance cover more things than it does right now and therefore, the cost is going to go up. second example. you say how can we help small businesses. well, we know one way you don't help small businesses is by raising the medicare payroll tax on them which what is this legislation does. besides that, it's a job killer. look at the taxes on beneficiaries as well. this is a third example. you don't cut costs when

when states like arizona took this issue to the voters of that state and said do you want to clean upelections? do you want to have fair elections, public financed elections? the voters said, yes, get the lobbyists and special interests out of this mess. let's try to make this directly candidates to the voters and take the special interest groups out. this bill would do that. what it basically says is that to qualify for public financing, you go out and raise small contributions, $100 maximum contributions and put those together in a sufficient amount to show that you are a viable candidate, and then you qualify for public financing in the primary and then again in the general based on the population of your state. well, you have -- will you have as much money as a big corporation? no. but here's my theory: if a candidate goes for public financing they will have enough money to get out their message, introduce themselves to the voters, make the issue and clarify if some major corporation is going to come in and try to steam roll. that, i think, is the best we can hope for, but it may

martha: actually, virginia, if it worked, it would be the second state behind arizona to pass the measure in defiance of this proposed legislation in washington. in fact, virginia is just one of 29 states looking to limit, alter or oppose several federal actions out there now, including singer payor options and mandates that would require the purchase of health care insurance. in general the state measures will keep health insurance optional and would allow residents to purchase any type of coverage they want. thomas jefferson would be happy to hear what's going on in those states. we'll see what happens. bill: new details, in how president obama plans to deal with this number one priority, jobs. the president heading to nasua, new hampshire for a town hall meeting, to last six days, he'll promote a $30 billion small business lending initiative, that alwing community banks to give out small business loans to jump start the economy. we expect to see that later today, 2:15 eastern time. we'll see the latest then. martha: today we're getting a closer look at just what is in all those pages o

states senate, will have cataclysmic effects. and by the way, the vice president said he didn't know what the american people -- i know what the people in arizona want because i've been traveling all around the state. town hall meeting after town hall meeting. phone calls, letters. they don't want a massive -- >> they say they want to get something done. on that point, the 51 votes, the reconciliation has been used for president bush's tax cuts, for welfare reform, other bills in the past. >> it's not been used for one-sixth of the gross nationa product. robert byrd, the expert in the senate, said it would be outrageous if we used reconciliation for this issue. so, i still want -- we all still want to sit down. we want to negotiate. and we want to try to get something done. but the majority of the american people say, start over or don't do anything. obviously, we can't not do anything because medicare's going to go broke. >> just bottom line, it doesn't seem like the gap has been bridged between you and the president this morning. >> i think it was good to have thatonversation. i think it was good for the american people, people all over the w

relative although across the country if you look at the church, the states like nevada, arizona and floridae a huge market viability from market problems are market viability issues from being upside down on their mortgages. in nevada seven out of 10 homes are indicative value relative to their mortgages. in tennessee and north carolina you are about the national average of 33% of the homes in your state. by relative to your peers, and a 90 day delinquency rate has increased dramatically. that shows this leading indicator out there that says people are not able to pay their mortgages. then i look at plant closings and phil years. that does not mean they go up but a leading indicator there would be a possibility it would go up. so i start looking at the leading indicator to unemployment and bankruptcy and retail in particular you heard from the congressional oversight panel panel, particularly in the retail sector is up and that is also a leading indicator of potential of not having cash because potentially long-term unemployed so they start to become delinquent on bills such as mortgages. w

arizona republican primary in august. >> bill: do you have enough money to do -- >> -- i apologize for it the warm reception we have gotten across the statehat in october of last year, over 60% of arizona republicans said they did not believe john mccain shared their basic conservative values. that was followed the next month with the poll heard around the world, a mass muffin poll that had john and me in a statistical dead heat. >> bill: but you have fallen back. let's talk strategy here for a minute. >> sure, um-huh. >> bill: all right. you are running to the right of mccain. and he is a moderate republican. there is no doubt about it. but, in your state, you get heavily hispanic, you know, it's gone way up, the hispanic votership. and there are conservative hispanics in the republican party, as you well know. they are most likely going to go for mccain. not too many african-americans in the senate. so i'm just wondering whether there is a coalition that you can put together to win this primary. >> oh, there is, bill. first of all, your analysis is partially correct. hispanic republicans. but the case is i would just caution everyone, b

may not be in the united states national security interest and they are threatening to possibly delay the ratification of the agreement with it jon kyl specifically for arizona and a few other republicans have suggested the obama administration should have extended start rather than rush to negotiate a new agreement. well i'm sorry but the new start agreement has expired. the opportunity to extend start existed in the latter year, the last year of the bush administration. that was not achieved neither the united states or russia were interested in extending the old start agreement and old verification provisions and we should consider if start had been simply extended the russian federation could have maintained more than 2200 strategic deployed warheads in the future. those are the limits of the offensive reductions treaty which provided of course no additional verification provisions. some new start critics complain the treaty verification system may not be adequate. the devil is going to be in the details. we have to check and see what we have to remember one important thing. currently preus noeth certification on maw information exchange system between t

states have taken in less money than at least the great depression. the situation is most difficult in places like oklahoma where revenue declined nearly 27% last quarter compared to the previous year. or arizonancreases in revenue, but it's believed that's because of tax increases there rather than a growing economy. meanwhile, the drop in revenue comes despite hefty tax increases in many other states. at the same time, cost are going up for programs like medicaid, which means a lot of states will have to either raise taxes again or cut spending and jobs. states face a combined budget gap of $134 billion over the next three years. and because states actually have to balance their budgets, well, it's not going to be pretty. plus the states are facing a combined $1 trillion shortfall for employees' pensions and retirement benefits. some governors are banking on getting more money from the federal government, but that's money that hasn't even been approved yet. and be sides, they don't have it, either. so here's the question. is the recession over in your state? go to cnn.com/kafrcaffertyfile post a comment on my blog. >>> remember the controversial environmentalist, van jones? last fall he resi

and i think it's instructive -- constructive to look in a state like mine, arizona, california, the inmates running the asylum. that is the public has taken control of the process over the last several decades. they've taken control of the process through the initiative process, a legislative administerrive constitutional initiative process. look what they have? limitations that you can't increase spending, that you can't increase taxes and they've added spending in and fixed it at certain rates. the legislature is not able to do that. well, in an economic downturn, that's a recipe for catastrophe. what do they do? they point to the legislators to ask why haven't you fixed the problem? they can't. so will the public accept their role in this? i think the answer is unknown on that. i do see a glimmer of hope. i'll end on this note. i do see a glimmer of hope in what's happening today on the political scene. there's clearly something -- look, i think can comment on this better than i can. i'll be interested in his ideas about this. there's clearly something happening out there politically sta
