. >> right, right, right, barney frank, yes indeed. and as service as we move from a system of citizen legislators into career legislators, i think for my own experience what i've been able to see, and i think from what people have been able to put together and following the news carefully is the temptation to protect your right to get reelected overwhelms your willingness to always votes the way your conscience tells you you ought to vote. when i was elected to come even though i was elected as a candidate on the conservative party i joined the republican caucus, and shortly after we were sworn in, john tower, then in charge of recruiting new members opened by saying you're first obligation from now one is to ensure your free election so many of you when you're in office the bell will ring and you're supposed to race to the senate floor to vote on something you've never heard of before. there's no way of keeping track of everything before. there used to be. so what to do is find yourself a friend whose judgment you trust on the releva

system is much stronger, and i think the basic framework reforms we legislated last year with the barney frank and chris dodd leading the charge, you know, is a very strong framework of reforms if, addressing the core challenges in our system. but we still have a mess in the housing finance business. it's now almost completely dependent on the dpft. and we're going to lay out reforms to kraut crowd private sector back in. and layoff us with a system that will not be vulnerable to the really tragic colossal failures not just in freddie and fanny but more generally, in oversight -- >> more consumer protection. >> absolutely. >> rose: do you worry that one of the 50 state or more may go into bankruptcy? >> i don't personally know, and that's not to understand state the gift. if you're a governor or mayor in the city or states now, it's still going to be very hard fair long period of time. but because the. economies are growing and revenues are starting to improve. the. if-- there is a long period of reform. congress did a lot in the first two years of recovery, of trying to ease that burden

representative barney frank is joined with ron paul to come up with a proposal to cut about $100 billion from the military budget, 100 billion per year for the next ten years they have 50 of the members signed up with them his estimate of the tea party and his son brandt paul khator military spending as eric cantor, one of the leadership of the republicans and this is tied to the notion of the deficit reduction which has its own issues whether we should be reducing the deficit in the recession and so forth. but if there is going to be a deficit reduction plan there are forces at work saying that the military should take at least it's fair share and since it is more than 50% of the discretionary budget there would be substantial reduction so this is the fight that's going to happen now and the arms lobby is going to fight back obviously. lockheed martin is the biggest donor to buck mckeon, the incoming chair of the armed services committee. also the biggest donor to the democrat daniel inouye who has the appropriations committee in the senate. he's called himself the number one guy for yo

a few years ago, i think it was ron paul or barney frank or someone like that said that we have -- i think it was 100,000 u.s. troops none of western europe. and you can't find anyone to tell them what they're defending against. i was wondering, does she think -- i know nato is in afghanistan. technically i guess it's in our nato mission here in afghanistan. they don't seem very eager about that. and i understand what the history and everything by some of the eastern european state would like to nato around. but does she think nato is relevant and we promised russia we wouldn't expand nato after that. i think it was the first president bush that we would expand nato. >> guest: we have indeed broken that promise and i think you raised a very key question. i don't think nato has any relevance. i think it's a military -- a u.s.-controlled military alliance in search of a mission. we're going to be hearing more and more about that. the nato summit that just occurred a couple months ago in lisbon was taking up that. we saw it back in 1999 when there was the first effort to craft a new --

representative barney frank has joined with ron paul to come up with a proposal to cut $100 billion in the military budget, $100 billion per year over the next 10 years. i have other 50 members of congress signed up of him. paul is of interest because, you know, he's a favorite of the tea party and his son rand paul has called for cutting spending as has eric cantor and this is all tied to the notion of deficit reduction which has its own issues, you know, whether we should be reducing the deficit in the middle of a recession and so forth. but if there's going to be a deficit reduction plan, there are much forces at work saying the military should take it's fair share and since it's 50% of i say budget it would be a substantial reduction. and the arms lobby is going to fight back and lockheed martin is to buck mckeon and daniel inouye who has the appropriate subcommittee in the senate. he's the number one guy for earmarks so that means, you know, what takes away with one hand he might try to give back with the other. but i think there will be a battle. there will be a debate which is n
