democrats object to its removal and are holding up passage over that equating the republicans' scrapping of eastage. >> it's thessue of hostage taking. it's as if someone puts a gun to your head and says, give me your money. and then you say, why won't you give them their money? you leave out the whole context of there's a gun being held to your head. and that is not fair and that is not right. and harry is right. we keep getting that situation. >> reporter: but republican sources have provided fox news voting records that prove these very same democratic critics voted for a similar senate bill last february, senate bill s223, quote, revises eligibility requirements to limit such service to airports that are located not less than 90 miles from the nearest medium or large hub airport. that's the language of the bill. and voting for that bill were senators boxer, reid, schumer and rockefeller. transportation secretary ray lahood, meanwhile, is urging lawmakers to get over their differences. >> this is the construction season. this is the time, this is the bread and butter time for construction wo

hours earlier he was salvaging republicans, which includes a bill called eas, essential air service. and unprofitable airport. this is senator reid. >> this is one of the most outrageous bills that i can comprehend. so many people desperate for work are being told they can't because, once again, the house republicans, rather than legislate the way we've done around here for a longtime feel they have the empowerment to hurt the individual people. >> reporter: republicans point out that reid and three other senate democrat, all of them severe critics of the republican short term funding extension voted for a senate bill that had identical language, senate bill 223. it re, quote, revises esa program eligibility requirements to limit such service to airports that are located not less than 90 miles from the nearest median or large hub airport. voting for that bill were senators boxer, reid, schumer and rockefeller. meanwhile transportation ray lahood has been making the rounds today again urging lawmakers to reach a deal. >> that has been a part of the faa program, if congress doesn't lik

the ea and u.s. attorneys' office will not comment to us. the u.s.rt words that he was an informant, only he did not ask with their consent. a former dea director told us that she had no knowledge of this and says it doesn't sound right to her, the bottom line is, however, that this is a defense effort to get the dea on the stand or at least get their records that will describe this relationship with the cartel, which is embarrassing to us and seen as a betrayal in mexico where the story is exploding. back to you. jenna: very interesting our relationship potentially between the government and as you mention a drug cartel. one to watch. thank you very much. william la jeunesse in l.a. today. rick: quick break. when we come back the leaders of congress, republican and democrat gearing up to create a super committee to reduce the deficit. former wyoming senator alan simpson thinks that effort is doomed to failure. we'll find out what he thinks should be done coming up. jenna: looking so much forward to talking to him. why is america finding behind in th

the speaker is willing to agree to a clean extension and shake hands on the issue of eas and other issues. i indicated we would move forward without prejudice, which meant we would continue to discuss them and everybody got back in the fall. i was advised that now i am going to be called a bipartisan sniper are rounder and have problems with senator coburn. we immediately ran to the cloakroom and the senate side and i talked to senator cockburn by telephone. i will describe that conversation in a second. i think it is important to talk about who the hostages are and who is holding them. the house of representatives passed an extension of the federal aviation legislation on july 20 of this year. it has been sitting without action by the senate since that time. what there is -- there is no labor provision in it. there is no anti-labor provision in it. there is no poison pill. it is six pages long. i invite you, unlike some others that want to talk about it, that apparently have not read the six pages. what it does have is essential air service is language, an amendment. the essential air se

eas been taken by a random person. if you think of great moments in history that it has been caught on the snap of a photo and handed to a newspaper. it has been letters to the editor. so citizen journalists have been very active and what they've given today's papers, advice columns, et cetera. citizens journalism as bound around a long time. the real question becomes there has been anticline in traditional and news media. so what can we do to get some new news out there? and one thing people are looking towards is people like you and people like your neighbors to get some new content out. but the problem i have with this is a lot of the time, the kind of content that people want citizens like you to be producing is very much like the kind of content that you see in your newspapers and on tv. and i think a lot of us have problems with the kind of news content that we see in newspapers and tv. so if i could think about citizen journalism as a little more expensive than think about some of the things journalists and coul

he has already cost american taxpayers more than the entire eas will cost for an entire year. why?taken as hostage. they are absolutely right. why are you not angry? why is the american public not directing their american anger at somebody who would to save $210 million cost over a billion dollars in just over a month? again, the house of representatives has a bill. they can pass it within the power and put 75,000 people back to work. why will they not do it? because we will not do what they tell us to do. we cannot run a america or a democracy that way. that is the issue. >> thank you everybody. >> thank you. >> i am going to continue. can we have order in the house? of course i care about morgantown. but they said they did it for this reason. it picked up the senate of the finance committee, and the leader of the senate. they took a way things that were necessary for them. what they are taking away from our bill is the fastest-growing airport and -- in the most prosperous section of the state. of course i care about that. that is not the point. the point is, that is not their poi

plan -- hopefully you have a new employer if you leave the old employer -- or --ansferring it your eatransferring it to your new retirement account. that rollover to a new plan is something that we also could perhaps make more automatic, and indeed the system has moved in that direction. if the employee who leaves a job does not ask for their money, the money stays in the plan. if the employee has less than $5,000 in the plan, it used to be the employee could cash and voluntarily. just write them a check. it tends to be spent. once people get their hands on the money, especially the smaller the amount, it is hard to visualize this is going to make a difference to your ultimate security in old age. it is more likely to be spent. certainly that is true in my family. so what we did, congress and the executive branch is develop a way to automate these pay-outs. we provided that no longer would employees voluntarily cash out small pasta dishes, $5,000 or less, if that was the account balance -- cash out small amounts, $5,000 or less, and that was the account balance. if a person wanted, an
