brenda's mom seriously injured her leg alt work add couldn't walk. 9-year-old brenda became an adult overnight. >> cook, i'd clean, help her move around, help bathe her. >> brenda took on the role of being the parent for her mother. >> her mom fell into a deep depression, the savings ran out. >> i was always worried we wouldn't have money for like anything and we would be put out on the streets. >> for brenda it was a fear that what if my mother does not get well? who will take care of my mother. who will take care of me? >> that was the most scary part for brenda. she had heard about foster care. >> because if she wasn't able to care for me, maybe i would be taken away from her. >> you worried about that? >> yes. >> well, that did not happen. her mom got better and went back to work. >> poverty had always shaked brenda's dreams. she never expected to go to college. >> i knew my mom could never afford it so it wasn't a priority and it wasn't really one of my goals. >> even just in high school being able to pay for her bare necessities that was always a challenge. >> she got into a ri

brenda, if we want to fix this, there are two ways. you can private advertise it like they did the highways in northern virginia, which i would be in favor for. if you want to government to run it, just use a user fee, used in the transsponders. a lot of us already have in our car. >> sash what do you think of those ideas for the people who essentially use the roads to pay? >> you are still paying for it. if you have a toll road, right? i have those ez-pass, too. if you have a toll road, you pay in that way as opposed to gas. i don't see what the difference is. we know, do we all feel like we pay enough already? absolutely. is there enough transportation and infrastructure funding? no. we know that because nationwide, bridges and roads are falling apart. so the reality is, you can't just sit on the sofa while your house falls down behind you. >> if the money is not going to repair the road, that's the whole issue. we are paying, but it's not going there. >> i mean, that would depend state by state or federal. like gary b said, he was t

finally, brenda. we talked about approval. forget all that. the american public doesn't want it. 92% want to change this or appeal it. we have a law that has absolutely no benefits the public doesn't want. we are living with it. i can't understand it. >> well, david, maybe you can help us understand it. why do you think 50% of the uninsured want no part of this? >> well, it's a toll that's based on news they may hear or stories they may hear. to the extent some of those stories are misleading. you have julie bunstra from michigan who did an ad for a congressman running for the senate saying her premiums were going up. it turns out her premium on the affordable care act exchange went to 357 from $1,100 from before or benny in spokane in the state of the union response lamenting how she is now paying a premium of $700,000. guess what, we come to find out she did not go on the exchange and only got a policy shot to herbie the insurer she had before. so people need to go and need to go on the exchanges. that's why you have 3.5 million people who h

poverty had always shaped brenda's dreams.er expected to go to college. >> i knew my mom could never afford it. so it wasn't a priority and it wasn't really one of my goals. even just in high school being able to pay for her bare necessities, that was always a challenge. >> reporter: she got into a rigorous college prep program at berkeley high called the international baccalaureate program. she began to realize, she could go to college. >> something that we went over yesterday -- >> reporter: she goes to a tutoring program after school. her grades climbed. and she learned about scholarships including students rising above. >> she had to learn to advocate for herself and to really ask questions and to learn that, wow, there are resources there and how do i get a hold of that? >> reporter: brenda has already been accepted to sonoma state college. this is something you never thought would happen to you? >> no. >> reporter: so for it to happen -- >> yeah, it's whoa! >> reporter: she wants to get a good job and help her mom and ot

>> brenda, you only get one chance to make a ft impression. the first impression is obamacare has been a disaster. it started with a botch enrollment process. it is horror stories, losing your doctor. the american people aren't buying it. their interest in support of this policy is waning, they're regreting the policy, so should we. >> it's not just the number of pele who are enrolling or not enrolling. it's the type of person, the young and healthy ones. we don't know they are buying. >> absolutely. the number they should be focusing on is 20%. the people who signed up, who are 18 to 24. >> that number, those are 34-year-olds. there aren't a lot of very young people that have signed up. they're the ones that are supposed to y for everyone else. there is no mechanism to collect the fee for that. the tax. they have to file a tax return in order for the irs to get their money. a lot of 18-ar-olds aren't getting jobs, the system is in trouble because of this. >> if the uninsured don't want this, if they don't boy into it, who will pay for it? sit

>> it's enough to make you pull your hair out, brenda. here is one of the leaders of the country, if you will. he's basically saying we are just too dumb to figure this out. meanwhile, it's like everyone's grandparents are on facebook, everyone is using amazon to order things. who are these people who don't understand the internet? i would like to find those three people in the world that have access to the internet and say, i can't understand it, it's too hard for me. that is that ludicrous. the other thing that annoys me is the pushout on this deadline. people can opt out via some honor system. they hit a check box saying, dog ate my homework, i didn't feel like it this day, i didn't understand it. i would like the irs to adopt that same policy in paying our taxes. i just didn't feel like it. let me have a few more months. it's an insult to the american people. >> jonas, you actually think you know or you don't know, but there are a lot of people out there that don't know how to use the internet. they are the ones late in enrolling. >>

hi, everyone, i'm brenda butner. this is the "bulls & bears." . welcome to everybody, so, john, tax hikes or tax cuts for the economy? >> well, the tax hikes, the president remember a few years ago said he needed somebody to claim the race that everything would be fine, the debt would be taken care of. he said at the time only about 40 or $50 billion a yeempl that was a political speech. he was being a politician. now we are seeing a good number on friday, the lowest participation rates in 30 years. 1348 less jobs, despite the fact we had a lot of jobs. remember, this budget, no one is taking this serious. the white house in 2010, the key growth in 2013. in 2011, they ramped it up, give us more money. it will be fine, it will be 4.5% in 2013. they are doing the projection of 3.1% rate. that's pure fantasy t. best economy is 2.5. this is not real fiction. >> we got a long way to go. tax cuts to tax hievenlths you say a little bit of both? >> in theory, tax cuts with spending cuts would be better for the economy, especially, no we are no not in a re
