as the chancellor was announcing the date of his next budget, mps were debating the finance bill which bill picks up parts of the budget that had to be postponed because of the snap election earlier this year. we‘ve heard worries voiced about the lack of certainty in the brexit negotiations and what it means for the public finances, we‘ve heard members reference the challenging demographic and technological changes that face our nation, and yet we have a bill before us that really has nothing to say about any of this. when i was talking to residents of my constituency during the eu referendum, there were specific concerns from leave voters especially on immigration and about sovereignty, but more than anything else, it was the sense of the current anger at a sense of post—industrial decline that they had witnessed and lived through that animated many of the leave voters in my area. the benches opposite suggest that our strategy to keep tax competitive in some way undermines our absolute commitment to world—class public services. that lower taxes somehow mean less investment in hospital

this says the dup will support finance bills, budgets, and i think it is clear that unless we had gotby the 22nd of november, the day of the budget, they would not support it. what do we have tomorrow? a vote on the pay cap in parliament, and the dup are still saying they reserve the right to vote against the government tomorrow. nick, thank you very much. joining me now, lord maude, former paymaster—general. francis maude was an architect of the austerity agenda under david cameron. also with us from parliament, where she's been voting in the chamber, is anneliese dodds, shadow financial secretary to the treasury. welcome to you both. lord maude, if i could start with you, is this a move that you yourself would have made? well, i think there is no sense that a i% pay cap has to be in place for all time. this is a limited decision today, applying only to two sectors. it is sensibly not built into the baseline for the future. it is 1% additional, not consolidated, as a one—off payment. what we sometimes lead out of account is the fact that many public sector workers have not been subje

we talked to finance minister bill morneau about his plan to tackle the deficit. erg. ♪ abigail: "what'd you miss?" canadian finance minister bill morneau is optimistic that the country's global economy despite a rising dollar, rising interest rates, and slow growth. we had an exclusive interview today at a conference. >> the dollar is always going to be an impact in our trade with the united states. to is a're referring fairly recent increase in the canadian dollar. the investments we made in middle-class canadians and infrastructure, they did help the economy to grow. the dollar was helpful for exporters because it was at a lower rate. do see the current state of the dollar is a reflection of our positive economy. expect as athing we ramification of doing well. but we think we can continue to be successful with that will let -- with that level of the dollar. it will clearly mean we continue to invest in productivity, so businesses are successful, and we will continue to invest in infrastructure. so that when businesses come here they can see the country works for

bill cassidy. the senate finance committee is meeting monday to look at that proposal. the senate stands in recess until monday, for the rest of the week, senators are back home for state work period. live coverage of the senate when it returns here on c-span2. republican and democratic leaders spoke earlier today with reporters about the latest effort to repeal parts of the affordable care act. here is a look at that starting with senate republicans. >> well, good afternoon, everyone. i expect you already know that we spent lunch talking about gram-cassidy. lots of interest in the bill that senator cassidy and senator graham have been working on. i asked them to join today and lead off. so have at it, guys. >> number one, i never felt

the finance committee will consider the legislation developed and sponsored by lindsey graham of south carolina and louisiana's bill cassidy and they are both expected to testify in front of the finance committee on the measure which

bill. the health and finance committees are not debating the legislation. it's the same backroom one-party sham of the legislative process that ultimately brought the previous hour down. contrive an 11 hour hearing in the homeland security committee, a committee that has very little jurisdiction over health care matters does not even come close to suggesting regular order. and, madam president, in conclusion, i think many of us on both sides of the aisle thought there was a ray of light the last few weeks. the partisanship that had governed this place over the last eight months seemed to be breaking. i had good meetings in the white house, hope of working together. senators alexander and murray began talking about how we move forward. i was joyful that maybe the partisanship could end and we could work together, and the majority leader and i are getting along very well. this bill, if done this way and passed, would dash those hopes. there's a way out. senator alexander, senator murray have had hearings. they have had discussion. they're negotiating at this

bills coming up this afternoon. the u.s. house gaveling in for legislative work momentarily. the senate in at 4:00 this afternoon. and going on right now, the senate finance committee is hearing from senator bill cassidy. part of the graham-cassidy team that's put together the health care bill that the senate may consider later this week. follow that over on c-span2. will be gaveling in shortly for legislative work. back from their district work period for six bills, including one that re-authorizes north korean human rights and democracy programs. while we wait, back to this wiln shortly morning's "washington journal." r mr. president. it is unfair to the insurance industry, if you owned a car or you had a house, you wait until the house burned down or you had an accident, then you try to get insurance for it, it is ridiculous. i think the idea of people just not getting insurance until they have something wrong also puts an undue burden on the insurance industry and upon all the rest of us. conditions,existing there should be some stipulations made, certainly newborns, and there are other situations that should have that in, but not as an overall policy

bill will do exactly that. i am chairman of homeland security. either the finance committee or -- we will hold a hearing on this prior to september 30. >> i want to supplement what bill had to say, there is language that we hope to get by the parliamentarians that will provide flexibility for the money in the grant. it will be tied to the block grant and the money and it will provide some x ability through the waiver process. the governor should be able to get waivers on certain elements of title i of obamacare. >> [inaudible] >> vivienne to lower the three of medicaid closer to medical inflation. what is medical inflation? the bottom line is medicaid is a lot faster than medical inflation in general. to the point that it crowds out the federal budget. in year eight for a category of people we began to lower the inflation rate to the flexibility would grant the toernors and allowed them bend the cost curve. this is unsustainable. medicare is even worse. i 2038, all the money that you spend in taxes go to pay for health care, interest on the debt, there will be no m

this bill was formally released by the senators last week. next monday, the finance committee will hold a hearing on this bill. that was called two days ago or so. the congressional budget office is not released an analysis of the bill. they said early next week they are planning to put out a preliminary analysis. they won't have coverage numbers or specific details. host: that largely impacted the last ever they made when those numbers came out. guest: a lot of republican say i can't look at it until i know how this will affect my state. there are different organizations coming out with their assessment. a lot of senators are working with their governors to look at it and what it would mean for their state directly. one set i want to know what it means for -- host: mary ellen mcintire joins us to talk about the future of the affordable care act. 202-748-8000 for democrats, 202-748-8001 for republicans. independence 202-748-8002 -- independents 202-748-8002. almost this time republicans are ok to say it does not matter or not if we have a score. what is the philosoph

bill. they cannot bring it through the senate finance committee. only orrin hatch can do that. they can't have a markup of the bill. not to mention the fact that the only parliamentary procedure in the united states constitution is that all tax legislation must begin in the house of representatives. and so there is no one from the real congressional tax world really sitting at that table tonight. >> that's exactly rite. and i think that gives sort of lie to this idea that there can be any sort of cooperation. i mean trump is facing a real problem in the sense that he should be getting his way on a lot of things. he has a unitary government. but the republicans can't deliver what he wants. so he is looking for other options. but i mean, like, i think that the hurdles are strong enough that it's not going to happen. >> ken, one of strategic problems is if you're donald trump and you're sitting there thinking hey, can i make a tax deal with democrats, the answer is you can, be you can't include virtually any of the elements that we've heard about from what the republicans are talki

chairman orrin hatch is scheduling a hearing on the bill next week and that seems to be the finance committee'sod to john mccain's demand for regular order but that's not regular order for a bill like this. the senate finance committee had 24 hearings as i recall when we were considering the clinton health care bill. and then almost as many hearings and meetings at least over the obamacare. >> well, this has all the features of a rush job. so the republicans are now prepared to bring it to the bill without a full cbo score. the cbo said they cannot score it in the time frame jennifer laid out. we also know that this hearing you're talking about is a rush together kind of hearing, a show hearing, hoping that that can get mccain to check the box and we heard woshd tonight, not just reported, the great work of lamar alexander with patty murray an they put a stop to that bill to apply pressure for people to say, you've got to vote for this cassidy bill or you're not going to have anything at all. this is more rush job of a very harmful bill. >> and, jennifer, susan collins, lisa murkowski, john mcc

i thank the -- i think the finance committee has handled this bill, in my view, as a model to work on a bipartisan basis. i want to thank chairman hatch. he and i put together the bipartisan chronic working group two years ago. and senators warner and isakson did a first-rate job of leading it. there's an awful lot of sweat equity put in by staff. i hope i don't mangle too many of these pronunciations, but a lot of staff worked on these issues while they were dealing with weddings. i guess we had three children born in the process. job changes. so big thanks to karen fisher, hanna hawkins, lay stucker, beth rainle and matt kazin my team. chairman hatch and his team really stepped up to work with us and all the senators, jay kosla, brett baker, jen kazowsky and the chronic care league, aaron dempsey and big thanks also to senators warner and isakson for lending us -- and i hope i don't mess these pronunciations up too much, mr. president. marvin figero and mr. president i close this portion of my remarks by saying that i think what happened last night while certainly not something ever
