gerry gardiner says it's both unfair to give taxpayers' money to rebels in illegal to take sides in a civil war. i think the gadhafi regime does look streamlet shaky and much of it because of the pounding that it's received of course from british and french and american support but my worry is in the u.k. that we've seen that this so far has cost us a quarter of a million pounds the role that was set out by the united nations resolution one nine hundred seventy three was very clear it was that there should be an effort to induce a ceasefire in libya and to enforce that ceasefire now it seems that we've been very keen to try and stop the armaments that are coming from gadhafi regime and the government but we have been much less prepared to do that when the armaments and the and the fire has been coming from the rebels that's not an even handed in for some of the cease fire. in libya a stalemate in civilian casualties mounting the u.s. is coming under fire on a different front washington's un men drone strikes are being criticized for fostering and not writing global terror as people gr

i think we could through your money in a moment a little bit ok go ahead gerry jump in go ahead this is the way this program works go right ahead and i'm jumping at i mean i mean what did you expect you know you allowed greece to come into the big boys club on both sides you know of course we were not sure if they're going to behave fiscally are not and the greeks understood that they're playing with the big boys you know and they have to stand on their own this is an opportunity when they join the euro twelve years ago for them to clean up their house and they chose to have an extended party instead and now they're paying the consequences for everyone paying the consequences for ok so why should. taxpayers pay the confort consequences but i think germany when you're on a social areas should pay the cost for good clean and are you pretty fast for a no ok they should pay the cost for a number of reasons one reason is because the german exchange rate is lower than it otherwise would be because they're in the euro and germany benefits from that witness their enormous trade surplus which

hundred percent gold standard goods which would make all of these high bits and deficit impossible gerry's that you want to jump in there go ahead. yeah i do want to jump i think philip is forgetting that when the german taxpayer is elected the german government would signed the maastricht treaty which created the euro and allowed also in the end greece to enter the euro zone. this is a legal obligation and i'm not advocating taxpayer is going to simply hand over their money clearly there's a lot more to it as andrew has mentioned but there is a legal obligation here they allowed them then they got married to the greeks and now there's no divorce do you think what what what what is a vote to determine who would vote in one thousand nine hundred why would he be responsible for any action that his government why would he be responsible for the signing of the must be. actions i don't see this responsibility philip you have a philip you have a double you have a double standard here you say to the greeks that they're responsible for whatever their government did even if it wasn't in the interes

i'm gerry pleased to speak to such a group with a distinguished record of identifying critical issues related to the federal budget and working towards bipartisan solutions to the nation's problems. today i've like to briefly discuss to set up the meeting the fiscal challenges the nation faces, the importance of meeting those challenges come and how it affects the economic future, and -- >> of the gross domestic product the federal deficit widened to appreciably since the onset of the recession in december, 2007. the increase in the deficit has mostly reflected the automatic cyclical response of revenues and spending to the weakened economy as well as the fiscal actions taken to ease the recession and to aid the recovery. as the economy continues to expand and as the stimulus policies are phased out, the budget deficit should narrow over the next few years. unfortunately, even after economic conditions return to normal, the nation faces a sizable structural budget gap. the congressional budget office and committee for responsible federal budget project the budget deficit will be almos

. >> gerry? >> i am with "the journal." you said the economy is growing at half the rate most people thought it would be. you know this is not a good time to raise revenues and taxes it is also not a good time to cut spending, but here we are. i am wondering if you think that ought to affect the pace of spending cuts or whether you think we are learning can see in -- kensian economics does not work. >> with the de- commission, we had testimony from outside economists that studied 600 years of economic history for every country in the world. when it gets to that level, it impacts your ability to grow. they estimated about 1% came off of our economic growth. that is about 1 million jobs in the u.s., so there is a direct line you can connect between debt and job creation. that is why it is so essential we have spending reductions. the treasury department just issued a report. our debt is reaching 100% of our economy five years than they estimated earlier. it is not just that we're there. it is the pace we have gotten trajector
