senator gramm is recognized for a statement. if you hold it down, it works better. we just have a bad one. >> there we go. thank you. bipartisanship is breaking out already. first of all, we recognize that the chairman is not the problem. the chairman has tried to be the solution in different venues -- the gang of six, several members on the committee here, who tried to sit down in a bipartisan fashion to find a comprehensive solution on the revenues spending side. so clearly, your heart is in the right place. i am sure that was a tough political exercise. but institutionally, we are broken. that is how you get at 10%. i don't expect 100 senators to agree on a budget to get the nation out of debt. i expect about 65 of us to do that. the only way we will ever do that is to have a compromise. not only a compromise, but a base document to start working on. we have a statutory obligation so i reject the notion that this new process meets our statutory obligation. we are supposed to produce a budget. and people know what that means. i would really argue to the committee

keep in mind with the civil war men who were running america are the gramm warriors who have destroyed the south. the president is ulysses s. grant and william tecumseh sherman and also phil sheridan all of these names are familiar. and these are the men who were running things. 1871, they unleashed the greatest war machine in american history. looking at this tribe that was sitting there holding up everything. 1871 these guys said, one of the reasons the comanches were still there as i point* out is the civil war took the attention away from the planes. 1871 that attention was no longer focused on the war or reconstructions but now look to see what we will do about the comanche problem. quanah parker was 21 years old the leader of the most remote and most hostile bands in the panhandle by low becker amarillo texas. they were an amazing bunch. they kept away from the white man contracted very few of the disease is. 15,000 horses, they traded with men who operated out of new mexico. you see them in movies as a rough bunch. so grant and sherman decide they have been death so they center

if i know that don gramm has just read an article about walter isaacson, i am curious to know what don the conversation is very different, or the interaction is very different than going to a newspaper or going to a website. when i am much more interested in what my friends are reading and talking about. to go the traditional editors and anchors of the news media are the gatekeepers. they would say that is the way it is. they said this is the important story. what you are saying is in the future your circle of your social network will be the gatekeepers for you to say this new album is really cool, or this story is really good. >> it is not the future. i should say this is now. if you talk to a large swath of the population, people we want to develop as loyal followers at the washington post, that is how the consumer content. they see what their friends -- if craig tweets something about an event or something an article he reads in the washington post, i do not know how many followers he has, but they will see it. by the same token, if someone on facebook, if you are interested in it,
