host: elkhound, calif., on our line for republicans.aller: would not raising the debt ceiling be exactly the same as a balanced budget amendment? it would force them to redistribute the money appropriately. i think is the same thing. i don't think they should raise the debt ceiling. host: what do you think about the two-tiered approach? caller: if you don't raise the debt ceiling it will not make a difference. if you don't do something next year, the way politicians go, they will not do anything anyway. that is the way it always goes. host: pennsylvania, on our line for independence, go ahead caller: social security is self-funding and is not part of the debt problem it needs to be left alone. the two-tiered approach is a natural accounting principle. and one understands that. part of the problem is that the person who earns $50,000 or less in this country pays taxes on every single dollar. a person who earns $500,000 per year in this country pays taxes on 20% of their income. there is a huge revenue on that other 4/5 of their income an

finally, in at&t, calif. in what was really and all lawyer decision had applied a state law rule different from other states to invalidate the arbitration clause in this case. the court said a state can condition the enforcement of an arbitration clause on compliance with conditions that it will turn arbitration into litigation. just as a state could not say we are happy to enforce arbitration clauses as long as the perpetrators are 12 people picked off the streets, because that would turn arbitration into a court proceeding, the court said insisting on class action procedures would do exactly the same thing. the court -- the scope of the rulings are going to be debated in hundreds of cases in the lower courts. i think one thing is certain. the predictions that being made now are likely to be incorrect. two years ago, many asserted that a ruling that involved the standard for determining whether a complete is sufficient to allow the keys to go forward in federal court was claimed to have dramatically restrict
