they are still competing. part of our message is, you know, to the president, we have to work with congress to get things done. nobody can do anything in this town unilaterally. it is ceo-to-ceo, which is what the president is, the ceo of the country. you have to make it happen. if the senate can't pass a budget, you better get them to do it. we need it for the country. >> we will talk about that for the roundtable. viewers notice you have an "i voted" sticker on your lapel. you probably voted in virginia. care to tell us who you voted for? >> there weren't very many choices. mitt romney and ron paul are on the ballot. i have known mitt romney for a long time. he was very helpful back in 1990 when i was running for the first time for governor. after being with him. he was a marvelous leader. he has done his public service as elected official and appointed official. he was a really national leader in volunteerism and was inspirational in setting up the development of the michigan community service commission. h

we are in the midst of this year of competing capitalism. let me go through -- david describe eloquently that are competing. let me take a couple steps further. you have state capitalism which david spoke of. we have seen crony capitalism which we have seen in various parts of the world and what i call entrepreneurialism capitalism which is the silicon valley kind of capitalism. then you have small business capitalism which david spoke of which we are seeing in a number of countries. then you have chaotic capitalism which is capitalism without rules, without effective rules. you have that in various parts. china. the interesting thing is you can look at these with two slices. different countries embrace these different systems but you can also look at it the way david had and that is many view capitalism competing within a single country and in china you have state capitalism in parts of china and entrepreneur real capitalism in parts of china. you have chaotic capitalism in parts of china where people build things without very much supervis

change their laws and we had the charter modern era this twelve year period where all the states competed. each other to drop their corporate charter laws and peter griffen jersey but prior to that a corporation couldn't exist for more than forty years in any state united states you had to reboot every four years and basically go through probate a corporation couldn't own stock in a corporation a corporation had to have as its first statement of existence that it was here to serve the public good and then secondarily to build railroad cars. i forget the whole list you know but it was a corporation and on the average around two thousand times a year corporations were given the death penalty states they were basically put out of business. how has the change from that pre robber baron era to this post robber baron error or do you identify a different turning point the united states a bit you know brought us to here but first of all i think the evolution of those back you know the sixteenth century i mean it goes back to the british east india company and some of these companies that grew up

the sort that causes health insurance markets to collapse, that causes insurers to compete to provide the worst care possible to the sick. supporters could have taken personal responsibility for that decision. they could have launched their own plan that operates under those pricing schemes. or they could have tried to re-establish he'llize the market by subsidizing some people's premups to keep them from leaving the market. but that is not what they did. instead they imposed a mandate forces us to pay with our money and freedom, to fix a problem that they created with their price controls. so the entire purpose of an individual mandate is to enable supporters to avoid taking responsibility for their decisions and i defy you to find a more brazen example of personal irresponsibility. thank you. >> thank you, michael. thank you, elia. a great pleasure to be here at the inaugural program at the cato institute's auditorium to see you out here it's a beautiful facility, i hope to come here many times, again in the future. also a great pleasure to be debating my friend elizabeth wydra, som

so everybody's competing who's competing on the same ground.o fly international, everybody has to compete with the same rules flying international. it's different in manufacturing. you have countries that desperately want to make things in their country because of the tremendous impact manufacturing has on wealth in a community. and the opportunities it has to employ workers who are not necessarily, you know, the most highest educated. certainly employs people who are highly educated too, but it creates a ladder of success that really very few industries do. and at the same time create good wages up through that process. and so that's why we are on a playing field right now that we are not competitive. >> you've criticized governor romney for using occupy wall street rhetoric when he says he would pay for his tax cuts through people at the upper end of the scale. >> i think he used the term top 1%. >> right. now from what i understand he said simply he was going to pay for the tax cuts by broadening the base and that the burden of that was not

does it look worse for him to compete and lose than not compete at all? can he make the splash that his campaign needs? >> i don't think so. i mean, there's some talk of him doing reasonably well potentially in mississippi, but because he's not expected to win, he shouldn't play there. he's got to do little campaign reset of his own. because as the calendar goes forward, he will have opportunities to win big states like california and new york. and with big margins. i think he needs to give people a reason to vote for him. nobody expects anything from him, to start telling people why they should vote for him going forward. >> i want to get to the article from "the washington post" about voter fatigue. people are losing interest which spells the weak enthusiasm. nothing good for the eventual republican nominee, but how does that affect how president obama's team is looking at the re-election campaign? >> well, there's almost nobody who does organizing better than president obama and his team and they are taking nothing for granted. they are on the ground i

that is beyond my competence in.that we could be doing that there when we should be taking care of america. >> senator, if i could ask her that last piece. it is very much in our best interest -- vital interest to ensure that al qaeda does not find sanctuary in afghanistan again. in order to do that,. >> sir, al qaeda has presence everywhere else. you said that yourself that there is little presence of al qaeda. >> are you going to police the whole world and set up shop next. >> that is a sign of this campaign has been successful. afghanistan, as you know well, is a source of the attack on the united states and 9/11. it is different. because of our history there, and our commitment there, it is different. but i want to say with respect to the economic development of afghanistan, we are making an addition to the afghan infrastructure by making other relatively modest investments compared to the stakes that we have, and what we should insist upon is that we have a level playing field. not that it is in our favor, but f

they also hurt the sick because they literally force insurance carriers to compete to see who can provide the worst coverage for sick people. think about it. if a certain type of patient cost $1 million to insure and obamacare tells carriers they can only charge those patients a $10,000 premium, what happens to insurance carrier who is provide the best coverage to those million-dollar patients? that insurance scarier will attract every one of those million-dollar patients and go out of business because each of those patients will bring down its bottom line by $990,000. obamacare's price controls literally create a race to the bottom because they force insurance companies to compete to see who can provide the worst coverage to the sick. and they do that -- insurance carriers will do so in hopes the sickest patients will choose their competitors and bring down those bottom lines. ian pearl is a victim of obamacare-style price controls. shelby rogers is another victim of obamacare-style price controls. their insurance companies competed to avoid them because they already operate in markets s

we have made that expectation clear and our companies have had an opportunity to compete. a part of helping afghanistan take the next steps and get on its feet economically is going to be to help it create those opportunities internationally, not just for the united states but other countries, as well. i believe that we'll compete very effectively over time. >> i'm not talking about exploiting afghanistan. i'm talking about the fact that china is essentially exploiting our men and women in the military and the united states taxpayer by having us pay the burden in both blood and money for quite honestly an area where china is going to be the one that reaps the wind fall benefits of stability in afghanistan. and if they are not willing -- i don't understand where the benefits to the u.s. citizen comes in spending $10 billion a month if 21 months from now the end result is going to be the same. we are going to be out of there. we will have lost more men and women and spent more money and china is capable of stepping in. >> gentleman, time has expired. mr. frank. >> thank you

and what-- >> you could say that gingrich wasn't competing.ingrich was competing enough that if santorum was able to take those gingrich votes. he wins, illinois on tuesday is a great example. san tore yum is out of the south and running against romney and taking the 10 or 12%. >> you've got to win in one of those states, doesn't he, mary, more than one. >> i think absolutely. i think if you get to the convention and you know, that the numbers still look about like this. even if romney is not over that magical number. the republicans are going to look at that and say, who's done better in the swing states? it's romney. the electability factor is an overriding factor and i think even at a birther, they're not going to get there. >> and electability and that's why they're going with romney, not thrilled with him. not elated, not overjoyed. basically he resigned, but at least he's got a chance to beat obama. >> yeah, well, let's discover once and more all what republican voters think and want. if the election in november is the final we need to g

we believe that every qualified health plan should be permitted to compete for my premium dollar. and we don't envision the alliance eliminating any health plan, so as long as it is qualified. the national health board is a feature that is found in both the senate republicans' approach, as well as the president's, because we believe there needs to be some place where a lot of the decisions about benefits, how they're actually defined in individual cases, when a treatment moves from being experimental to clinically provable. those kinds of decisions need to be taken out of this body. they need to be taken out of politics. and that's one of the rule -- the roles we see for the national board, as does the senate republican version. and, again, we don't anticipate a lot of extra bureaucracy or extra staff needed, because there will be a lot of the staff already in place in hhl -- hhs and elsewhere in the government that will be reporting to this board, and the board will be kind of acting like a board of directors to be making decisions that will then be implemented by the rest of the
