now mind you it was only the two co-chairs. the rest of the commission hasn't signed on to this or anything like this. but this is in terms of the overall dimensions, it's the kind of thing that it will take. i'm especially, i was especially pleased to see that one of the changes they want to make is they want to eliminate all the individual tax deductions, in exchange for that bring down the individual tax rates. lower individual tax rates have considerable history. economists analyzed this of spurring economic growth. so this is not simply some green eye shade deal where it's all agony and no reward. the individual tax rates will come down. they're also talking about eliminating the home interest deduction. i'm not sure it's a bad idea but i know it won't be easy to pass. >> chris: eliminate it by $500,000. >> different options on that. >> chris: your thought? >> my thought is where are the republicans cheerleading this? this is good news. i hear dick durbin on the democratic side says he hates this like the devil hates holy

>> reporter: well, this is put forward by the two co-chairs. under the commission's rules, they have to get 14 out of 18 commissioners to approve a proposal to send it along to the president. and then nobody has to do anything with it, really, but tha that's what they have to do to get it forward. most of those 14 people would have to come from elected officials. they don't seem like they're going to come on board. the way to look at this is that some of these cuts are the things that i'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news are probably likely to happen when the budget crisis -- when spending becomes such a problem that the political system has to respond. so these things are all the ideas that are out there. there are no easy solutions, and that is what the commission co-chairs are really trying to say. >> susie: what are are the commission chairs trying to say? what's the message here? are they telling the world that the u.s. is getting its financial house in order? >> reporter: i think they're trying to say there is a difficult path forward,

if you read about co-ons, they sound nonsensical. people often read about the co-on, what is the sound of one hand clapping. that's actually a very deep inquiry into sound, first of all, and then into deep listening. with all co-ons you have to parse them of the extra words so it becomes what is the sound of one hand, or what is the sound of one, or what is the sound. so the teacher will help the student refine the essence of what the question is and then guide them into learning so you begin to listen to all of the sounds in the world without listening to them. listen to them as if you've never heard them before. it leads people to some very interesting insights. so, again, it's that theme of teaching as drawing out from people what latently has already been there. one of the things that was really special to me doing this book -- this is a bit of a personal confession -- is, you know, i came of age in the '60s. and part of that, of course, was having great hope, but another part of that was having deep anger and each bitterness --

we might not have asked other people if they are engaged in co-curricular activities. i am interested in how people are beginning to think that we can glean information. that is my first question. second, i am interested in this issue of capacity. do we have enough room for the people that live in the attendance area? then i realize that what we need is to actually apply to go to school there. that is kind of a core, basic, bottom-line question to the workability of the attendance area. and so, i guess that means -- we are going to need to

the co-chairs even acknowledged that all proposals may not fly. a bit of shock therapy to show the american public just how serious the deficit situation is. and they're seeing it as a starting point. >> kristen dal gren, thank you. >>> on the heels of collective shock, controversial proposals to hack away at the nation's deficit, the question going forward is anyone in favor of this panel's findings? last night on "countdown with keith olbermann," keith asked anthony weiner for his take on the track opposed by the president's deficit commission. >> it's truly going to be, and i saw it six months ago, this is now president obama's commission that is going to propose eliminating social security, cutting medicare, cutting the home mortgage deduction which for middle class families is the only big one that they get any break on. and instead of waiting and seeing what the republicans are going to offer, which is to privatise social security/medicare and the like. i don't mind the discussion about how to cut deficits. but alan simpson came up to a plan

so why do give the co-chairs some credit for at least not ducking on the issue. however, i do object to the specific proposals, particularly the ones that would cost shift more on to the beneficiaries because that doesn't do anything but lower the burden of health care and the economy from taxpayers on to sick people which is really regressive and
