it is their budget. their budget calls for it. it is a part of their agenda to take away the guarantee of medicare for the american people. they want to voucherize it. and the president-elect has named a person to the cabinet, a secretary of hhs who is committed to doing just that. so our call to action to the american people is to tell republicans in congress and the white house, keep your hands off our medicare. that's a message that people like to chant. it's never been more urgent than now. i want to also commend tim ryan for the race that he made for leader. he's an enthusiastic advocate for his point of view. i thank him for his courtesies extended to me. and i look forward to working with him. it is my honor now to yield to our distinguished democratic whip, mr. hoyer. >> thank you very much. congratulations to you on your reelection. i am very happy that we have joe crowley as our chairman of our cauc caucus. nobody doesn't like joe crowley. crowley is extraordinarily popular. he reaches out. one of the nominations says he

will be submitting a budget. there's theoretically a february deadline. obviously with a new president, that gets stretched. i believe president obama had like an outline when he came in, then revealed the details later on, by like may or so. we can only imagine there will be many changes from the obama budget request. that we may start to get an idea, as soon as february. what do you folks think would be some of the more notable shifts that we would see broadly speaking, and will there be any attempts initially at entitlement changes? >> i was going to say, the most obvious change would be the repeal of obamacare. i assume that in the president's new budget. i think that -- and i think we should look at this budget very, very carefully, because we've got a new administration coming in, and you know, the first budget of a new administration is really, really important. it has tended to set the tone, if you think of clinton's first budget or reagan's first budget or obama's. mr. bixby: so there will be certain thi

>> this is a pet issue of mine, that the budget reconciliation is budget legislation. in its original design, i believe it was to actually implement changes in policies, to implement the budget resolution. the budget resolution sets the spending and revenue targets, and reconciliation legislation then provides for changes in the permanent laws and the tax and spending policies to bring spending and revenues. that is at least, from a budget nerd perspective, the way it should be done. mr. lorenzen: so, if you have a budget that is calling for substantial spending cuts or tax changes to meet certain changes, reconciliation legislation is implementing that. however, reconciliation has a special status. budget resolution and then reconciliation legislation reconciliation legislation passed pursuant to a budget resolution is not specific to a filibuster. it can pass with 51 votes in the senate. so reconciliation has now become not the way to necessarily implement the entire budget but whatever piece of legislation that the majority wants to push through with 51 votes in the

the last passed budget was good for about three months before waivers overrode the budget. congress cannot continue to lurch from crisis to crisis without meaningful, long-term budget plans. my reforms would fix congressional budgeting by reducing the political impediments to passing a budget resolution. budget proceedings would be more orderly and transparent with less political gotcha amendments that define a budget reliewtion in the senate. my reforms would also make the budget meaningful by requiring a higher vote threshold for legislation that spends billions of taxpayers' dollars without offsetting it and offsetting in a real way. we also need to revise the concepts and rules that determine how we bucket and estimate the -- budget and estimate the cost of legislation. these outdated rules haven't been comprehensively reviewed and updated since 1967 and often lead to confusing or inaccurate estimates. a new commission of experts should update our federal budget concepts for the 21st century. we should also create new rules that encourage congress to consider the annual

however, budget reconciliation has a special status, budget resolution and reconciliation legislation that is passed pursuant to a budget resolution is not subject to filibuster. they can pass with 51 votes. reconciliation has become not the way it i is and permitting e entire budget for whatever piece of legislation the majority wants to push through with 51 votes in the senate and so there's talk that you can reconciliation to repeal the a portal to act, to do for tax reform. i would still executive budget resolution that's calling for deficit reduction, that really should be what legislation issues for. there are limits. one is you can only have one bill that deals with revenues, won the spin and one with the debt limit your maybe we see reconciliation for the debt limits but repealing the affordable trip would be both revenue and spending and, therefore, you couldn't do a separate reconciliation bill with tax reform defeated budget resolution. if he did on tax reform you can to affordable care act under reconciliation. and it also us t of limits on wt can be included in the reconc

now that we have caught up and got fl to a new budget year we budget those into the ehr project and allows us to close out that balance and take it to year end frund balance and appropriate in the budget. we also have significant savings in this line, which is due to the fact that we incumber dollars on contracts until the cogest cost reports are settled and have a positive or negative reconciliation to pay out more money or less and this year we have significantly less than we had incumbered so that allows us to pull some of the contract dollars back out of reserves and into income. this is a big variance, but it is not a variance that we expect to continue on into future years. in the public health division, there is also variance in non personal services. this is really less in the phd program operations and more in central administration. again, at the year end of 14-15 we carried forward one time dollars primarily for the ehr program and we have in the budget closed those out and used those to fund ehr expenses. we also have some savings from healthy san francisco, third party provide

obama's first budget.ere will be certain things that we may be debating for the next four to eight years. the obamacare peace is one of the discretion spend it will be very interesting to see what they want to do. probably higher on defense and lower on nondefense. although somewhere you could fit in money for the wall because they're going to pay for it anyway. there probably will not be an asterisk that says see mexico. >> why not? [laughter] >> she's got infrastructure agenda is going to be really interesting to see what he puts in there. the number 500 billion has been floated around. that's going to be rather eye-popping for some republicans on the house side anyway. those are interesting. how he accommodates his tax cut is going to be big, too. because republicans have had a goal of balancing the budget at least within 10 years. it seems to me impossible to do that in the agenda that trump laid out during the campaign without making some really extraordinary assumptions about economic growth, which i

smith: there's a finite budget. the personal cost and how many ships we're going to have in the navy and new year modernization is a place where we could save an enormous amount of money, but we have been building out our isr capability. there's a lot of space in the world we need to cover. host: we have to leave it there. thank you for being this week's "newsmaker." we're back with our reporters. let me begin with this uncertainty. with the new administration coming in and the names that have been floated by this president-elect, donald trump, what does uncertainty mean for the national security apparatus? complaintthe biggest is about the budget. without certainty, they cannot plan for the future. they can't plan six months ahead or developing weapons years down the road or deploying troops. what comes next and it is a worrying thing every day that comes on. they don't know what the leadership style, the entire national security realm, whether it's a big picture of trump campaign moments, it's too much. the rankin

you have to put together a budget. you have to deal with not only all the things that are coming at you, but things you cannot expect, the asteroids that inevitably take place in a world >> dickerson: so that's why both campaigns, although now it only matters that the trump campaign started their transition work a while ago, but if they started months ago, how much of this work can be done ahead of time in >> well, you're exactly right. if you only focus on the period between the election and inauguration, there is no possible way you can be ready. you have to start earlier. both campaigns did. clinton and trump did very, very strong work. the hard part comes now, because you're right, there's only so then you have to merge your campaign and your transition apparatus, but you have to move over real fast. most folks are looking through the wrong end of the telescope. they're examining one or two appointments. the reality is what are the goals that the transition teams are actually taking on? they ought to be taking on t

budget process. that does not -- you can't use senate deliberation tactics, filibuster, to slow it down. this looks like the most likely vehicle for repeal of obamacare. in the budget committee along sort of outpost for years has become more and more important. what are we looking at in terms of timing and who are going to be the people pushing that in the new year? >> i think we're in a kind of cork of a situation. the house and the senate did not adopt a budget resolution for this year. they should have done that this spring. they didn't. we began the current fiscal year in october. one of the nice little things you can do when you haven't adopted a budget resolution for a year is even in the new congress, even as you're three months in to the actual fiscal year, the congress can adopt a budget resolution for the current fiscal year and that can spin off a reconciliation bill and that will provide them with a vick vehicle similar to what they did earlier this congress on kind of repealing most of t

would choose in favor of balancing the budget. he said any surplus from the federal spending should go directly right back to tax relief. zplool mr. ford has got into the democratic platform. he said if all the proposals in the democratic platform were adopted, it would create 60 new programs, which he said would cost $100 billion to $200 billion more. proposed by the democrats 16 years ago bh john f. kennedy was the nominee. the two men discussed draft evaders and what the programs there should be. mr. ford said that he does not believe in any across the board pardons. he said he believed that the amnesty program which he put forth was adequate, and he would not change it, and mr. carter said that he would still grant pardon, and he insisted that there is a difference between pardon and amnesty. the two men talked about government reorganization at some length, and jimmy carter, as he has to often done this whole election year, promised forcefully that he would completed reorganize the federal government if he is elected and wast

how budget. how much of that would you put toward education and how will you ensure that money would be spent there? >> good evening everyone and thank you for being here tonight. i am supporting ballot measure 97 for a couple of reasons. number one, we need adequate and stable revenue for key basic services like education. number two, no other viable alternative available. number three, it's time for large, out-of-state corporations large, out-of-state corporations to pay their fair share. i would ask oregonians, do you think our school years long enough? do you think our class size is small enough? i don't. are you willing to cut off hundreds of thousands of oregonians from the oregon health plan? i am not. i. i want to make sure that struggling seniors have programs like project independent so they can stay in their own home. i will spend ballot measure $97 as intended. schools, healthcare, and services for seniors. >> are you willing to commit to a specific amount? >> at this point and time i

in the end, at the republican party says we want a budget, the republican party will get a budget. in the budget is most likely reconciliation structures. that is the real reason that that budget document moves. it won't have a say -- it will give you -- it will tell you where folks are going to be, but that is a debate that will happen several wars later. is to getrst reconciliation and the reason they went reconciliation is to go after aca to maybe do taxes if they can. infrastructure bill that everybody seems to talk about is also dependent on this budget. the budget itself, it can move very fast. and i actually think the democrats will participate in that debate actively. --ause it is right orless writerless.is righ >> they can i get on the same page. there was a civil war over the budget. it is a total reset button next year. what road do you think those 40 some members to go? >> washington is having a hard time wrapping their head around president trump. the freedom caucus all of a sudden, their ability to be some kind of lead voice is just great we diminished. remember this

he has second bite of the cherry in the march budget, the main budget. so far the data has been all doing well in the uk. but i would be readying my plans for a major spend in march if it looks like things will turn down. we wrote a report back in august, when uncertainty rains call for canes. i think businesses will be paralyzed by uncertainty as we get deeper into next year. the government has to be ready to step in and spend more. but for today, play it safe. wait for a bit more of the fog to clear. >> he doesn't have a great deal of room to maneuver on the fiscal side. talking about current debt in the uk for the government of 1.6 trillion? what's that, over 80% of gdp. we are relying on the kindness of strangers to support the government's borrowing at this stage. he can't afford to spend too much more in a kenzieian way without frightening bond investors. >> that's why you have to play it safe this time around. no need to take that risk. the problem is the automatic fiscal stabilizers. for every 1% off the gdp level, borrowing tends to rise half of

part of the problem is they can't execute the budgets they have. against the global fund recently in uganda, reported that uganda could only execute 46% of the available grant. i think that that's underappreciated that the systems within these countries unable to gile and ope with large flows of funds. so the basic underpinnings need to be supported. and so one level of efficiency is the ability to execute their budgets, thus putting more rain showerses into the effort. if budgets are more timely in heir execution, inventories of rugs don't expire. if the vendors can start moving the money through, paying their vendors with an inappropriate -- appropriate level of time, then they can get the competition. the vendors that want to participate go for a high premium on their cost. they are just sitting there because they can't get through the system. but, you know, those are some of the underlying issues that i on't think that is fully appreciated. and honestly, some of the risks are getting the right people that can take on the reforms and sustain the

rogers: well, there's so many make sure our budget stays in a good, fiscal, sound place. we presented a paradigm of not spending more money than we take in and we'll continue that. again, that's going to make it tough. water quality continues to be an issue that we all seem to be concerned about and care about. in fact, we put a bill through last year that did not go through the senate, so we have but there are a plethora of issues that will be on the table because in the iowa house, we had the majority there and we passed many things that died in the senate, so all those things that we've done in the past will potentially be on the table as something we can get done. >> ron: we're going to take one short break here with representative walt rogers of cedar falls and we'll come back with more. i want to remind you, we're also online. the show in its entirety, even past episodes, on kwwl.com, so check those out and we'll have this program on a short time later. we'll take a break and come back >> ron: welcome back to this week's edition of the steele report as we welcome st

a budget process is such a mess, five or ten people are going to determine the budget of the united states the next month. i tried to call out the red flags on that and tell people to go to cbo and educate yourself on all the budget numbers because it's a big deal. >> yeah. huge deal. another thing that you talked in terms of the budget committee that's in the book, you talk more about the debt and the deficit and a few pages in this book, then we will hear on the nightly news over the course of a month. >> it's amazing. >> you talk about not only the economic aspect of it but the moral aspect of it as well. i remember, you know, in past debates and discussions about the future of the country, huge debate over when i worked on the hill, you know, we got to a balance budget for the first time in 40 years and it seems to have just fallen off the radar somehow and yet the debt has doubled. 18trillion, 19 trillion on the way to. >> yeah. >> yet, it doesn't get much attention. why is that? >> well, i think it's both sides get overcommitted. you have a bunch of good bills, right, they are called

the budget is $28.5 billion. to get to that number, some cuts need to be made to make up the difference. here's how they break down. >>> 195 million from hospitals 100 million for road funding and $45 million cut to school districts. and your kids? mark boyle has been digging into these numbers.>>> schools here one of more than 60 districts around the state asking for a bond and tax increase. districts taking money matters into their own hands because they see the state isn't providing this new budget proposal says that may soon be slowly changing. >>> with the governor's budget recommendations made, schools may see an increase of hundred $88 for students funding from last year. some district leaders say colorado's still isn't keeping up with the rest of the country. >> the bottom line, this is a funding is at the level they should be funded that. colorado is 40th in the nation in per-pupil funding. 2200 below the national average. that's not the school system we want to have in colorado. >> reporter: the governo

we don't have a large budget for diplomacy. we need a larger budget. we don't have a large budget for development assistance. when we do that, we can help countries like china in a way that it's in the natural security interest to let them grow as a stronger country that we want it to be to be and it's safer for the global community. >> i want to open it up for the audience and before i do that, i want to have one other question about the assessment on where we are on the obama administration and the alliance. >> we have tensions and where do you think that we are broadly on the strength of the alliances around the world? >> well, i think that president obama deserves great credit for strengthening america's partnerships. he recognize that had we could not do things alone. look, i disagreed with obama on the strategies on ukraine and syria as far as the original responses. i thought we should have been more aggressive president obama did not want to united states to be alone on decision making. one of the first things that he did was form a broader coa

vice president, the governor has to balance the budget and it's state required by law. he raised taxes several tiles. i wish he would join me in appealing to the american people for the balanced budget amendment for the federal government. i'd like to have that line item veto for the president because i think that would be extraordinarily and i won't be one other thing that he's had to do. $29 million out of his state pension fund. i won't do that. i'm still a little unclear as to whether he's for or against a tax increase. i have been off for the taxpayers billion of rights all along and this idea of releasing a whole bunch of army. a conventional force army of irs agents. he's against defense matters and now he wants abarmy of irs auditors going out there. i'm against that. i oppose that. >> i'm going to say this and i'm going to say it once to every person in this auditorium. what these candidates are about is of upmost seriousness to the american voters. they should be heard and you should be quite. if you're not quite i'm going to implore the candidates to do somet
